I tried to stay at the New Year's party until midnight...but HP kept whispering to me. I had to come home and see what was happening here! Also, a potential hub about English Romanticism kept composing itself in my brain, so I had to get to the 'puter to write it down.
Is there a 12-step program for people like me???
Boy, you have it bad
I can't talk, I'm chatting away on HubPages while midnight strikes
Sorry! Can't stop to chat! I'm late! I'm late! For a very important date! With an unfinished Hub!!
Oh me! Oh my! Forgot to say: HAPPY NEW YEAR! Now I'm even later!
This is how I spend News Years Eve. Posting on the forums, eating deer jerkey, watching my cute grandson sleep peacfully. The cows are fed, horse is tended to, hubby asleep & I'm going at it on the forums. Now THAT'S a happy new year!
LOL. Hey Habee, you're not the only one. I was still hubbing last night (New Year's Eve) one and a half hours before midnight. Then I logged in again around 1 am and stayed until past 2 am.
Come and live in Tanzania and our weak internet will cure your addiction!
LOL- I have a habit of checking on things from my blackberry when I am not home...
The first thing you must do is find a good group - this one is pretty good, actually - and then admit you are powerless over your addiction
...and Happy New Year! I am just finishing up a Hub. I finally got back online after moving! Now that we've watched the fireworks, here I am back at work
Me too! I finished a hub last night. But then, we don't know anyone locally to party with and I'm not a party animal anyway, so a quiet New Year doing what I enjoy suited me.
HaHa! I was passed out last night XD But I had a dream about my hubscore..
I think We all have it bad.
habee, I feel for you but being in a 12 step program myself, the rule of thumb is; until you have to stop in the middle of sex to check hub scores or post a forum comment, all should be fine.
Hi, my name is Ken, & I have a problem. I refer to it as my obsession, but evidence does point to a full-blown addiction.
It has been three & a half hours since I published a Hub & I should be relaxing, but here I am on HubPages once again, thinking & planning & visiting with those who apparently suffer the same symptoms.
Is there a twelve step program for us...OR, do we write because that is what we are & to try to straitjacket that compulsion may have consequences & side-effects?
I am glad Habee started this thread if for no other reason to know that I am not alone.
Happy New Year & HAPPY HUBBING to all...

I need some help from Microsoft but for some reason their technical support is saying that there’s a problem with my license number. I’m not quite sure why that is and I’ve emailed their head office but I’ll probably have to wait a while for their reply.I’m sure some must have windows 7 (which I’ve...
