I hate this damn site.

[Kimber Scott]

I spend way too much time here and eat way too much while I'm doing it. I just ate half a bag of pistachios.

November 2 can't come soon enough. My family misses me. I have school work that's past due. I don't even know if the new television season has started, yet. The only show I watch is The Daily Show. Fridays really suck.

I CAN'T WAIT TO GET MY LIFE BACK!!!

1. Uhh

I'd say we are doomed. THis site is the mother of all time sinks.

[Moonbeam_Starlight]

2. You and me both.

And my normally uninvolved husband said at dinner tonight "Damn I can't wait for November 2 to get here. Damn."

I agreed.

I'm tired, I've gotten out of shape (though canvassing helps) and I'm eating take out all the time. No time to cook.

I have a sinus headache, I need to take a shower and go to bed, but what am I doing?

DUing.

Sigh.

[Pirate Smile]

3. So True! You are not alone.

[Fluffdaddy]

4. Me three

[kanrok]

5. Hey, pistachios are good for you!

See, there are health benefits to DU.

[Kimber Scott]

8. You're right, but yesterday it was

bite sized Butterfingers. If this goes on much longer, I won't be ABLE to get out of my chair!

6 days......

Oh, and I've already planned to ditch my last class on November 2. I'm going to party like it's Super Bowl Sunday. Right here, on DU.

[seabeyond]

6. right there with you

i smoke too much, you eat too much. my family misses me too,......lol lol and my hubby wants me back

[Jane Austin]

21. Same here, except I've discovered Peanut Butter M&M's.

God help me!

[wtmusic]

7. It's too late...

the DU cranialprobe has entered your brain...you are now under skinnerkontrol...just relax...relax... :evilgrin:

[Kimber Scott]

12. I think I had a dream about Skinner last night...

:evilgrin:

[feistydem]

9. Me too. I promised myself I wouldn't DU tonight, and yet here I am!

[acmavm]

10. 10:40 p.m. here, been here all night except to help with my son's

homework. Thank goodness there wasn't much or else he'd have been SOL.

But the wonderful thing about this place is it's someplace I can come to at 5:15 a.m. and find out all the stuff that happened while I was asleep. And I can come home at 5:30 p.m. and catch up on everything that happened during the day. I've learned so much during my time here it's amazing. There's no way one person could become so damn well informed on their own. That's the wonder and beauty of this place. It's amazing.

Sometimes the stuff's funny, sometimes it's sad, but it's always an eye opener of some sort.

[Kimber Scott]

11. People must think I read every paper printed in the world every day.

Most of my conversations go like this... "Well, the New York Times said..." or, "The Washington Post shows," "Seymour Hersh wrote...", "The BBC says..."

I start and end every day with LBN.

18. Add us to the list of addicts

My husband and I have spent untold hours at this site during the past year, and we now spend practically every evening in front of this cursed screen drinking wine and eating fried crap.

You know you're ready for rehab when you find yourself cruising through LBN or Campaign 2004 or GD over and over, desperately looking for something new since you cruised through about 30 seconds ago.

In five minutes I'll get off and do something else. I mean it this time. No, seriously. Just one more thread. Really.

(FYI - the above posted by Mrs. Hatrack. Sorry, ladies).

[uppityperson]

13. then there are we lurkers who don't write much, or often

until recently and really appreciate all you who have participated. Thanks for being here.

[Kimber Scott]

22. You're welcome and WELCOME to DU!

:toast:

[marlakay]

14. my husband would agree with you about me

I have gained 15 lbs in the last six months out of nerves.

[CityHall]

15. I haven't gotten much work done since the 1st debate

Must... stop... hitting... reload.

[NinetySix]

16. I've been asked whether I can tend to my family again come Nov 3

[Lex]

17. I've been spending time here since 2001, so don't expect

your life to ever be the same!

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

19. I spend too much time on this site too.

I think my time could be better spent doing other things, but I'm obsessed with this election. I do try to limit the times I come on here, such as only when my son is sleeping.

I also make an effort to run just about every day of the week. I take my son with me in his jogging stroller. We go to a duck pond after I'm done running, and we feed animal crackers to the ducks. I feel so lazy if I spend all day inside on the internet. I've actually lost about 20 lbs since May doing all the running. I'm getting a lot faster and my endurance is way up. The daily exercise is definitely addicting. I have to exercise to make myself feel better after spending so much time online. It's been a great stress reliever for me too.

20. If it weren't for DU

I would have gone nuts over the last few months. Let's take a moment to toast our hosts for all they do. We are going to have one HELL of a party here on Nov. 3.
