<p>fireflyscout, how could you? This is the best month ever! Nothing big will be happening for me on the 1st, anyway. :D</p>
<p>I love it TheDad. I would pass it on if I had IM, but CC will do for now.</p>
<p>Yemaya, I still have that super long color code. There was no way I would have spent so much time on something like that without saving it. 
</p>
<p>If I counted right I am now a member addict and no longer a junior addict.</p>
<p>I just need 25 more posts until I can break this addiction.</p>
<p>yea, cc is relatively addictive, but come on, i’m sure you’ve got a life outside these forums…i know i don’t(sad i know…LOL)</p>
<p>Actually, I do have a life outside these forums - I work in a junior high. Which provides many, many moments of hilarity. It’s a very interesting point in life - starting to make decisions for yourself, but often having no idea how to do it so the logic is either non-existent or very convoluted. But amazingly in a few years those same students will get it together enough to make important decisions about their choices in life.</p>
<p>Oh God… I just checked and I’m over 11 posts per day …someone help :(</p>
<p>Junior addict here, but I’m in denial. While CC is addictive, it is a benign addiction. While we do get our satisfaction from CC (whichever that may be), we also do get our information. And another thing, opposed to being addicted to drugs, alcohol, Coca Cola (like me) or even TV, the CC addiction actually helps creating a terrific information resource, actually helping others.</p>
<p>Addicted and proud,
Bogdan</p>
<p>Sybbie - love that post! </p>
<p>I’m being purposely conservative in my posting lately…as I approach my 1,000th post. I think I need to reserve my posting for the April admissions announcements and the hundreds of congratulatory posts to follow. (not to metion the XL sheet thread - in which I will actively participate)</p>
<p>Thanks Momsdream,</p>
<p>This week we really have been more like a big extended family with accidents, illnesses, weddings and funerals, scholarships and acceptance letters both local and overseas. Life has given us a lot this week and we just take the good with the bad, the laughter and the tears. </p>
<p>All while reminding our kids know that were young…once ;)</p>
<p>Immediately prior to the E-Cab Boogie tour my loyal laptop crapped out. Approximately one week 9 hours and 8 minutes without being able to post. Not that I was counting the time. I DID have access to a computer twice -but it was more than I could stand to see post after post go by that I wanted to comment on but couldn’t. </p>
<p>You see, I have CRS disease. A pre-cursor to all other forms of senile dementia. I couldn’t remember my password OR the e-mail address I used when I created the account ,therefore-I COULD NOT RESPOND.</p>
<p>At the common use terminals at at least two colleges we visited, I looked like a giant economy version of an non-holding, early 70’s, Keith Richard in an unfamiliar tour town. Barking repeated and increasingly strident instructions into the cell phone to DW to no avail (… but her new necklace IS attractive!).</p>
<p>What- me addicted? No way. It was a piece a cake. (Although a quick check will show that I immediately spent 2 hours on-line after arriving at my home base. Not that I needed to. You understand.)</p>
<p>Sybbie, you have been awarded the Golden Banana (that’s a compliment coming from a sluggbugg) for having the most fun this week while posting in the Parent Caf</p>
<p>I decided to give up C.C. and have done so. Was on the computer this evening and don’t know why, just decided to check it as we are giving some considration to a college trip or two soon . I am not a lurker. If I 'm here I post. Have read Susan’s sad story about her daughter’s accident. So, so sorry. So glad I never let my kids drive on fast roads until they have at elast a few years of driving experience. They mostly drive around the community . I’m so sorry for Susan and her daughter’s misfortune.</p>
<p>I gave up C.C. because it was occupying too much of my time. It has worked out well and I don’t really miss it . I can’t see spending years here, but it that is what folks want to do, great! For me it was a fad I guess. At any rate, nothing terrible happened to me! Just occupied elsewhere. And good luck to you and your C.C. hobby!</p>
<p>i plan on quitting in two years, when i graduate from high-school.</p>
<p>Let’s see … how long did it take me to get over Beanie Babies?</p>
<p>In honor of yemaya’s return, I think the need to convene a cyber support group meeting of cc’ers anonymous is in order…</p>
<p>(ps- “return” may suggest a full- blown “relapse” rather than a mere “slip”)</p>
<p>Hello, my name is jmmom and I am addicted to cc. Present and accounted for.</p>
<p>Tom some being on CC has been like reading this great book and we are finally getting to the part where we see how everything pans out. You don’t expect us to leave now do you?</p>
<p>As I said before, these people are like family and our family has been on quite a roller coaster ride the past few weeks, so we are not about to abandon them now.</p>
<p>(all together now…) Hi jmmom. </p>
<p>And Sybbie- Ohhh noooo. We are not suggesting we all drop off the face of the earth. This is a support group-- we don’t want to abandon anyone. We are merely acknowledging our addiction. I, for one, haven’t said anything about tapering… or quitting… just admitting the “problem” As they say… the first step to fixing the problem is recognizing that you have one. There is CC dependence, binge CC’ing, and CC abuse/addiction. It’s when it begins to interfere with other aspects of our lives that is becomes a potential problem. And speaking of which… I have a hungry kid to feed :)</p>
<p>I have a problem. CC is like a drug!!</p>
<p>I will be going off cold turkey as soon as the April dust settles. I may come back under lurk status or w/ a new screen name to answer Qs about my D’s college… maybe. Or maybe I will have daily updates not immediate updates… I don’t know. But yes, I have a problem and I need to cut down on time wasting on CC.</p>
<p>I have become thoroughly absorbed in the interactive magazine cum soap opera that is CC. My best chance for an exit will be when the dust settles this spring and the choices are made. Then I believe I’d better say ciao.</p>
