I think I’m becoming addicted ...

MOnica that’s a perfect way to regulate your GN usage! You have to be at home, in a specific room to log in! Meanwhile some of us junkies have it a bit too easy to get our fixes ... ?

Just been away and out of contact for 5 days. First thing I did on my return? Switch my computer on and open up Gransnet.

Here I am in bed having a morning fix when I should be in the shower and then changing the sheets! GN is a perfect displacement activity to avoid boring chores.

You are all also very good for providing information when I hit one of those minor hiccups in life, so thank you for your company and advice

Untill the last few years I was so active in the community and had a large extended family. Things happened and I have become isolated but I come on here and feel far less alone. And I learn so much about England ! ?

Loving this ladies! Such a friendly & witty bunch. No wonder GN is now my first ‘go to’ when I get up. All the threads lined up that I’m interested in - and they are getting to be quite numerous!
Super funny MissA and Maggiemaybe you both actually made me giggle out loud - not something I usually do!
Good job I use an iPad and it doesn’t tell me how long I’m on this site. I know I’d be horrified! All the warnings out there we’ve had too about time spent by the young ‘uns looking at their phones every few minutes and I used to think ‘silly b***ers haven’t they got anything better to do with their time?’. Oof!

Just dropped in for my morning fix!

I don't always comment but enjoy reading most of the posts although I missed the spanking paddle thread. I'll have to look for it....

MissA & maggiem ???
I find GN saves me having to read the papers I don't usually buy to get different perspectives on all sorts of issues!

A bit like going to night classes from the comfort of your own home.

I had to google spanking paddle for clarification of the sex and lunch thread and now I’ve had to look up bdsm. At least my GN habit is broadening my horizons.

I'm unashamedly an addict.
I do bits and bobs that need doing, then look in afterwards.
I don't really have anyone else to have a reasonable conversation with as my neighbour only tells me in intricate detail about her day, every day, several times a day.
I also get filled in with everything about her 5 children and their offspring, whether I'm interested or not.
I'd far rather be here talking about spanking, bdsm and so on.

Oh blimey. My name is Maggie and I’m also an addict. My phone has suddenly started to tell me bossily how long I spend online each day and it’s a bit scary. Much of it is down to GN.... Some days I wonder why and swear I won’t look at it again, but hey, that never lasts.

Ha that made me smile KatyK!
My husband hasn’t noticed yet but they do say us addicts can be devious ...

There’s no hope for us then notanan2?

When my DH sees me on my phone, he says 'What's going on on Gransnet?'

Me too
I was ill for a week over Christmas and got into the habit of GNing from under my duvet... but now that Im better the GNing hasnt decreased back to normal civilised levels LOL

It's up to you Urmstongran but I do think it's good to limit yourself timewise. Depends how busy you are.

I’ve not even peeped at the Games! Just as well Tangerine .... love the name by the way!
Seriously, perhaps that’s the way to control this obsession - time limits?

Oh Anniebach ?
Hopefully you’ll be out & about with Fred soon and going to your church and see folks?
This time of year doesn’t help either does it?
* sending you Virtual hug. x

I thoroughly enjoy Gransnet but limit myself to no more than an hour per day. Occasionally, I've gone over the time limit.

There are some threads I avoid but my favourite ones are the word games.

Wow ladies - this is SUCH a relief to hear I’m not alone hehe!
I was thinking I’d have to stand up and say ‘hi - my name is * and I am addicted to GN’ or something similar!
Nice to be with my virtual friends. ☺️
Honestly though some of the discussions are really interesting and a nice change from watching the tv or reading (although I enjoy those too).
But I’m beginning to think I need more hours in the day to accommodate this addiction!
Any more out there who’d like to ‘fess up?
Actually Katyj you might have a point! I’m just having a mug of tea now to fill me up a bit before bed.

Join the club. I think at times it has saved me money because my eyes have been glued to this machine and I have not been out and about spending money.

It also saved my sanity after my knee replacement last year. My last op is the best thing since sliced bread.

My sole companion

Jane 10 I was drifting between websites after a knee replacement. I think it's actually saved my sanity. I've been locked in the house with hubby after developing virus 10 days after coming out of hospital. The knee replacement was fine, but the viirus I've had since Christmas day is only just going. I'm 70 next month and was actually wondering if I was going to make it. But feel better today, so all's good. ??

Me too. I've got the lurgy so I'm lying about.

I am on more often atm because of my bad back so I cannot get out and about as much! I usually have a 40 day break from social media during Lent and try to spend my time doing something more constructive & useful.
