PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

Worried you spend too much time online? Assess your level of addiction by answering the following questions using this scale:

================================================================
1) How often do you find you stay online longer that you intend?
2) How often do you neglect household chores to spend more time online?
3) How often do you prefer the excitement of the internet to intimacy with your partner?
4) How often do you form new relationships with fellow online users?
5) How often do others in your life complain to you about the amount of time you spend online?

8) How often does your job performance or productivity suffer because of the Internet?
9) How often do you become defensive or secretive when someone asks you what you do online?
10) How often do you block out disturbing thoughts about your life with soothing thoughts of the Internet?
11) How often do you find yourself looking forward to going online again?
12) How often do you fear that life without the Internet would be boring, empty and joyless?
13) How often do you snap, yell or act annoyed if someone bothers you while you are online?
14) How often do you feel preoccupied with the Internet when offline, or fantasize about being online?
15) How often do late-night log-ins cost you sleep?
16) How often do you find yourself saying "just a few more minutes" when online?
17) How often do you try to cut down on the amount of time you spend online--and fail?
18) How often do you try to hide how long you've been online?
19) How often do you chose to spend more time online over going out with others?
20) How often do you feel depressed, moody or nervous when you are offline, a feeling that goes away once you are back online?

1. "RE: Are You an Internet Junkie?" |
YIKES!!!
Are you sure you really want to popst this HERE?? heheheheeheheI answered very truthfully ( the fact I don't have a job where I have access to the net may have come into play on my score) I scored a 39, though while answering I thought it would be worse. Especially since I just hit 4000 posts, and 4000 may sound like a lot, but I am one of about 15 or 20 people who were here from the start and never left. I want to say I did 4000 with very few posts on Monster thresds ( dial up , I haven't even read half of them) I do awful in DAW races for the same reason, so I pass on them I confess, that if I didn't have to share the computer with family members I would be worse, and if I had a desk job with Net access I might be hopeless.

4. "Believe it or not" |
26.I DNA on a lot of questions. I have no access from work, which helps a lot. And I am totally open on what I do here to others. Will anyone admit to a score of like 93?

5. "RE: Are You an Internet Junkie?" |
often adv. Frequently; many times; not seldom. frequently adv. At frequent or short intervals; many times; often; repeatedly; commonly. Ok, these two look just the same to me. If I answer often, I score a 39. If I use frequently, I score a 49. Hmmmm....
Looks like, from the scores above, y'all went with often, so I think I will too. A 39 for me. *waves to Buggy*
