How addicted are you? .....

Post by **Pandabean** » Wed Jul 26, 2006 12:19 pm

I am just wondering if I am the only person with an addiction to SP and researching the family tree. I dont want to even think about how much I have spent on there.

Hello Pandabean

I would like to say that you are not alone in your addition I suffer from it too and I am sure there are may others do too.

I have been up and down over the years but since finding TS I have become really hooked. Unfortunately I have lots of other things, not least a college course, I should be doing and so I am going to have to ration myself. I will find that very hard to do as TS has opened up so many avenues I can see I need to go down.

completely hooked! (hubby also, so it's a bit of a fight as to who uses the internet). On the plus side, he's just taken out a subscription on Ancestry and I get to use it too!!

From someone who has worn out three plastic cards and still has only 4 large lever arch files of certificates (Mmmh! must get another two files)

I rubbed and rubbed the cards but the Genie never appeared Maybe he did but I thought it was the bank manager and refused to answer the door

Can we re-name TalkingScot as Addicts United. Logo to be a Smiley with tongue hanging out, with fingers poised above keyboard, with overhanging branch, and roots underfoot!

There is only one cure and I wonder what they will write on our MI's.

I think my wife would want to sign this too as she is as far gone with the addiction as I am. What's worse is she's the house treasurer and sees the Visa bills

I blame SP. (Well I can't take responsibility

)

My problem is that when I find myself with the dreaded 4 credits left and I need 5 to view something I just KNOW is the right one, I buy another £6 worth.

Well once you've got some credits you've got to use them just to make sure that other one might not be a better match... No arguments, now. You know I speak true

What happens then????

You end up with 4 again..........................................
