Is this an addiction?

Is this an addiction?

Can't stop

I can't stop going to Wincustomize. I change my desktops almost everyday. I am constantly experimenting with skins old and new. What gives? Is this an addiction? My wife says it's legal crack!

Yep, it's definitely pleasure and enjoyment over obsession and/or addiction, don't ya think?


Certainly beats watching TV. I cant imagine watching Soap Operas

Boy didn't this turn real serious all of a sudden!


Hey, addiction is a serious business. I know when I've spent too much time here I get in SERIOUS trouble with the Mrs. And yet I keep coing back for more. Does that make me a masichist?

Yup, all wore out frum a gig at der standup club.....cain't be funny all da time

Truth is, my time here at WC has given the wife a real stern look right now ( like she got beat with a misery stick) and I'm just too scared to be funny. Heaven forbid I get her to crack a smile a ruin a perfectly good temper tantrum

Starkers, my wife sometimes has that same stern look, and it's like Kryptonite to Stupendous Man. I'm faster than a T1 connection, able to leap 21-inch LCD monitors in a single bound, more powerful than a 3GHz processor. It's a bird, it's a plane, no! It's Stupendous Man! But that stern look? It's the one thing I have no power against. BTW, I just come back when she's not looking!

Run by Brad, I imagine....  

If I go, do I have to unhook the I.V. that runs from my right arm to a USB port?

Yes, but, you can opt to use the little pole with wheels and a wireless port

Oh good. I was afraid I might have to go the catheter route.

A fellow addict! I have recently discovered the same intense fascination and am constantly tweaking the user interface elements.

But where does this lead? What happens to the poor souls who travel down this path for several years? Do they ever find skin nirvana? Or do they eventually go insane and get locked up without access to a computer, spending their days attempting to scratch skin ideas into the walls of a padded cell?
