saratogaquilter Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 Ya know, I'd get a whole lot more done if I wasn't reading all the posts on this forum. I can't help myself! There's always great advice, fabulous pictures, something to make me laugh, something to tease my brain, something to make me thankful for my health, family and friends (you are all included in that one!)...... The list could go on and on. I start my day here and end it here with a bazillion times in between. I don't even want intervention of a support group, I've got it all right here. My thanks to everyone here! I've only met one person on this forum, Madilyn, but I feel like I know each and everyone of you. You are the best! Now I have to get to work!!;) Sheryl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starrynight Quilter Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 Hi Sheryl Nicely put. I agree with you and I do the same thing. Get up, grab a coffee and check this forum. You find out a lot of info about a lot of different things. The last thing I do at night is grab a glass of water and check the forum again and I like you check it several times a day as I don't want to miss anything....lol. Glad I'm not the only one with the "addiction" but to me it is a good one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saratogaquilter Posted February 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 Oh yeah, I know there are a lot worse things to be addicted to. But I get a lot of guff from my SO for always being on my Blackberry checking on the forum. I don't make fun of him always being on TV land and his obsession with the Beverly Hillbillies!:D:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quiltsinmotion Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 count me in maybe we need a 12 step program LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little House Creations Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 How bad is this . . . I'm in Mexico for the winter, and missing my quilting so much that I check the forum every day - and then that makes me miss quilting even more when I see the beautiful projects everyone is posting! Yes, it is an addiction .... :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CindyT Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 I'm guilty, too. Is that so bad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
o2b Quilting Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 Me too. I think I need to meet Sheryl as I believe we only live a few miles apart:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quiltingjoyful51 Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 I do the same thing. The folks on this forum are the best. Thanks to all for being there for each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saratogaquilter Posted February 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 Lucy, I hear Katie is coming to take some lessons from you! If it works out and I don't have to work OT, I might tag along. Did you get my U2U about your cousin? Did she make it safely home? See what I mean? It's like one gigantic family. I have one sister and I know she doesn't understand me as well as some of you do!! I love it! Sheryl:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neher-in-law5 Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 I'm presently working on my 12 step program: 1, cut out bunches of triangles for hst from 4 different colors and the background. 2. Sew them into HST's. 3. Press, 4. trim, 5. Sew in pair with background squares, 6. Sew two into a 4-patch. 7. Cut background rectangle, 8. cut small colored squares. 9. Match up the right colors to make 3 color flying geese, 10. press and 11. trim in steps. I think it is going to take me more than 12 steps. I haven't put the geese with the 4-patches yet and still need to cut and add two more background shapes to make a real block. Rehab sure can take a long time! Coffee breaks (without the coffee) sure are well spent here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busy Quilting Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 1.Breakfast Coffee Break 2. Morning Coffee break 3. Lunch 4. Afternoon Tea Break 5. Finish quilting for the day break 6. Check in After Dinner Break 7. Heading to bed break I am sure I can find 5 more to make it a 12 step plan. My trouble is I need to eat and drink more in front of the computer!

DOwens Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 I am still new and trying to learn as much as I can from all of you. Every evening after dinner I read all of the post from that day. My husband ask what I do each night and I told him I'm taking an on line quilting class! Thanks Dana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MizKia Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 Add me to the list, use to be only once in a while, now its at least twice a day! This is a bad habit I need to nip in the bud, as I'm doing it at work now! Is there HOPE for RECOVERY? Maybe I don't want recovery a la Charlie Sheen! :P:P:P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witha'K'quilting Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 :cool: I too am always looking to see if something new posted that I shouldn't miss! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starrynight Quilter Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 Oh my, I'm on here again...Dana, it's funny you told your husband you are taking a quilting class, I said something similar to my dh. His response was how can you learn quilting on the computer. I asked him to sit beside me and watch. His response........no thank you. At least he was polite about it...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quilting Heidi Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 Well this forum has kept me sane! LOL I can sneak away for a quick break at work when I need to rest my brain or just think about something different. Since I work on the computer all day it is an easy thing to browse. I love when I get stuck on the phone! LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DB Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 Sheryl, Just like you, I feel like I'm chatting with friends on here. Last year at MQX we had a dinner get together, I think 24-26 people showed up, and although I had only met a few people before that get together, I felt that I was with a large crowd of my friends. Probably because I had chatted with everyone on this site or read their postings so many times before that. Dianne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
connieb Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 I check here at least three times a day. Once before work, once when I get home, and then right before I head to bed. Sometimes I'm checking here so much that nothing else gets done here at the house. Oh well. I should be practicing but it's so much more fun to look and learn.

catsigler Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 Addiction is right! The forum is cheaper than eBay, except when I'm buying wheels or CL templates or some other gizmo. I believe there is also a huge procrastination factor involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustSewSimple Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 Count me in!!! Coffee and the computer. Then I stay logged in and check a dozen times a day. Every time I take a quick break I check in. Can't miss anything!!! Inquiring minds want to know!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quiltmonkey Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 Whenever my DH walks by me at the computer he says something like "there's that bue screen again!!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestieMom Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 Dana, that's a good one...an online quilting class! It's true, at least for me. I don't want to recover from this addiction...you all have become a part of my extended family. I recently went back to work after being home for 6 months and the only thing I regret is that I don't have as much time to check in to see what's new throughout the day. I do hope I can meet some of you sometime in the future. Thanks for being such a GREAT group of people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarenH Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 Reading the forum and seeing all of the beautiful quilts, keeps me going thru all of that PPP, that I hope pays off soon. I feel like this is great site to read with a big cup of coffee!! Love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustSewSimple Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 I never think of accents on here. I just read. But then I talked to Lisa in MN back and forth this week and noticed her accent and then she called APQS and told them I would call later. She said, "A lady with a soft southern accent" will call. Wouldn't it be fun to be able to read in each person's accent? Of course, quilting has no accent or borders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarenH Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 Hey Sylvia are you counting the days before you new baby arrives? I am asking in my New York accent, which when i was in PA a couple of years ago a women said to me you must be from New York, and I said yes, I didn't even think I had an accent.
