Warning! HubPages may cause burnt food

   I see that it is lunch time, so I get up from my PC and go to the kitchen to cook something. I place my food in the hot pan and wait for it to cook. I think to myself, "why wait here by the boring stove when I can go back to HubPages and finish that enthralling discussion I was in!" So I go back to my PC with every intention of getting right back after a few minutes to take my food off the hot stove. From the minute I type the first word, my internal clock gets all screwed up, and what seems like five minutes is actually fifteen minutes. I don't realize this until the scent of smoke reaches my nostrils.
   
   
   So be very careful! This has happened to me more than once. It could happen to you too!

      Hi, all. Recent research has also documented high incidence of insomnia, constipation and loss of libido in frequent hubbers. Don't ask me how I get to know about these but don't say you haven't been warned.

   I knew there was a good reason that I don't cook.  It gets in the way of other, more pleasurable pursuits.

   Happens all the time. That's why I keep plenty of gravy on hand, to smother things.

      Great tip!
      
      Maybe somebody should write a hub on food repair, sort of a hubber's tool kit.  Anybody?

         Yah, I am a true hubber. To publish my new hub today, I need at least 5 to 6 hours. Because I do all practically [every steps]. Then edit the pictures and write and revise. It's really hard to write a good HP nicely. I wonder how people publish HP so frequently. But I honor them all. They must have some extraordinary power in them. So, they can do so. For mine, it's quite hard to write one HP by one day.
         
         Yet I'm trying my best to write only good ones...

         The longer your hubs are live, the higher the score will climb, not to worry.

   Hey, Benson is a doctor so this must be a serious and widespread malady.
   
   I wonder if there is a vaccine against hub obsession/addiction, or maybe a 12-step program.  Then again, do any of us really want to be helped with this affliction. 
   
   Pretty soon, it'll be showing up on divorce papers as the reason for marriage breakdown.

      Hi Shirley. One way to save your marriage is to have one more computer in the house so that you can video-skype with your better half while you both hub along. Or better still, you both hub on the same topic at the hubber's hangout.

   Benson and Maestrowhit, hope you don't mind but I've quoted you both in my latest hub entitled, 'Hubbers Anonymous.'
   
   Maybe we can help get those scores up, Maestrowhit.

      My pleasure. I usually get quoted once every 20 years. It's about time this happens again.

   Yep, I have done it so often I bought a timer and put it next to he computer. But, the other day I forgot to set the timer and had the cheese toast flaming! See my hub, "Crock-Pot Cooking, or How Not to Cremate a Chicken"
