    Talking Help!!



    i used to use other social network sites-naming no names but i think i am becoming addicted to RE!! As soon as i get home,i shovel me tea down and im hooked!!
    Searching threads,replying and messaging,i ignore the wife waffling on about soaps,the kids are running riot and the only time im off here is whenni go to bed!!!!
    Is there any type of help out there or do i continue to go on this site?i think it will get worse too, im building a shelf to fit me mrs so i can check for updates whilst on the job!!!!,might have to armaflex sheet it to stop vibration wobbling the screen!!!

    I.M. Good to see someone else has the same addiction . Wasn't game to say anything about my illness incase someone thought i was stupid . So, maybe we can set up an R.E. rehab clinic or something. What's that!... Thought i heard sounds of disapproval somewhere? How was your day? Hmm, started by switching on computer, went to R.E., moved on to phone calls, back to R.E, more R.E., out to job #1, back to R.E,... and so forth . Thankfully, i don't have a laptop otherwise i'd never get anything done. Sad situation, i know..

    Re: Help!!

    I think once we own up to having this problem we're on the slippery slope!
    Congrats for realising u have an addiction,but as it is not realised in the medical profession but the closest symptom to this is called GEEKINESS!!!
    By limiting time of access will just make us go get another laptop/notebook with an additional connection to double the access time!
    CM had a bad case of it and now instead of vegetating infront of the pc eating spaghetti in his string vest whilst sitting in his soiled underwear(got a bit too carried away)
    Has got a job lets see how this affects his ailment!
    Until then keep taking the blue pill (others are available)
    And get well soon

    Re: Help!!

    You really think the blue pill will help? Somehow i feel i should just just take the red pill and go back to getting a good nights sleep. Besides, this Friday afternoon, school's out for two weeks, again, and i,ve got the young ones at home causing all sorts of havoc . As my missus works away from home, i now have extra cooking and washing to do, not that i really mind, just.. i won't be able to spend as much time here . The 13 Y.O. will want to confiscate my computer for hours of chatting to her friends on Facebook or Twitter.. Mike.

    Ha, when i searching for pics off me camera, i have to wade through all the extras, photo's of her friends, dogs, cats, birds, fish etc . Her cousin won't be here these holidays as she is going to Vietnam with her parents. This means more time on computer chatting to her no doubt. Less time for ME!

    Re: Help!!

    the newer generation are buggers for technology,they guess your passwords,move folders and take over ur pc-you buy them 1 to stop viewing 300 pics of ur pet hamster.and they dont use it.they know that your processor and memory configuration is far superior to theirs and they use it as a door stop.
    also its no good to you as all your manuals are elsewhere.also you cant fob them off with board games or money!
    not to mention them posting gay/sarcastic comments on your social network sites

    Re: Help!!

    So Gents

    with all this addiction going round

    what is the attraction ?

    Is it just you want technical info ?

    Is it just you want to have a laugh ?

    Or is it a combination of the two, as in you enjoy the technical side but also want to just chat and have a laugh at the same time ?

    And these questions are aimed at everyone on the forum

    I would like to understand what is the attraction here & your personal preferences

    Re: Help!!

    I like fixing things and learning how things work, so when i've run out of real things to fix or the phone hasn't rung i can attempt to fix things on here instead!

    I've learnt loads of stuff from the knowledgeable people here and as i work mostly on my own it keeps me up to speed with the industry.

    I think it motivates me to do a better job too as i try to keep up to a standard that people here would be happy with, its easy to get jaded when all you see is cheap rubbish poorly installed for whiney customers, so stopping by here stops me getting lazy or feeling like cutting corners.

    You guys all have it good, I don't even own a computer, can't type, get kicked out of bed every morning before I go to sleep, walk to work up hill both ways, licking the road to keep it clean. Try to learn stuff to keep the oldtimers disease at bay, come on the forum (did i say i can't type) just on the hopes to be in a Heavy Diesel vid an make my fame and fortune........What do I get? Enough folks from around the world with knowledge to make my head explode .....and they like beer. I'm addicted.....

    Where did my text go?? Just not getting through at all. Can't seem to get R.E. stable on computer. Think i'll round up a pigeon or two and send a note that way.

    Re: Help!!

    I think its pretty much all of the above, ignore the wife and kids,have a laugh,share a little learn a lot.
    But what i enjoy the most is the little things you pick up about trouble shooting, things that others drop into thread which are so simple you wonder why you never thought of it before.
    Then you tell anyone who will listen you thought of it
    And waiting for chillerman to get whipped by the mods again is edge of the seat stuffi

    Well Thankyou Gents
    I am glad I keep you amused

    Life is toooo short to not have a laugh & it helps keep you young at heart

    To answer my own questions:

    I really enjoy learning from some really great minds here

    Equally helping others when/where I can

    But also enjoy just as much laughing till my sides & cheeks hurt !
    The quick witted answers from many are hilarious & really make my day
