Tell us about it Cheelu
Two hours !! that's not an addiction that's a coffee break
My resolution this year is to return to being addicted to Gransnet! I was and then the last few months I hardly went near it. I 'm back ! And am going to be on it as much as I can.
I have been a little weaned off the last couple of weeks by guests and a jigsaw puzzle.

As my doctor colleague would say 'as long as you do it as soon as the withdrawal symptoms start, you won't have to worry about addiction!' 
Hello grannyeggs thought we'd not seen much from you recently
cheelu one of the best things about GN is how you can 'talk' to others about how you feel and they will respond, support and advise. I have a mental picture of many GNetters which is probably completely divorced from what they really look like. But that doesn't matter, it's what they say and how they say it that really matters. 
Now that I have an iPad I think I will spend shorter, quicker periods on Gransnet, but I do like catching up with everyone's posts. I sometimes feel quite out of the loop when I haven't been on for a while. My daughter jokingly described the Wonderful Man as a Gransnet widower today! Cheeky blighter!
When I'm at home the pooter is on all the time and I dip in and out as I'm passing the pooter room. I'm ashamed to say that on my days off as I'm lying in bed not wanting to get up the thing that gets me out of bed is the 'I'll just turn the pooter on and see what's happening'. I did have a few other forums that I used to frequent but the people on them seem to have started twittering instead 
. When I'm on my own I sometimes leave the pooter on all night; I had a nuisance phone call one night which really upset me and someone who was awake on one of my forums talked me through it . I wouldn't dare get an ipad or I'd be on it all the time 
.
It's perhaps as well that we can't see who's online like you can on some forums....
Oh the [in my case] thought of it . I'd spend so much time putting my face on I wouldn't have time to read anything [it takes longer and longer these days....]
- no, I just meant that user names are sometimes displayed!
Oh; I thought you meant skype or whatever it's called . You can opt out of the online status on other forums, I think. I haven't done so, so I guess they'll think I'm a right saddo .
