Ever been addicted to something "non-addictive"?

Ever been addicted to something "non-addictive"?

For me it is Freecell. I can't get enough of the game. Too many long nights playing it, and being knackered whilst at work. It got to the point that I would hallucinate when I had friends who wore red or black, and I would imagine myself putting one on top of the other. I had to stop. Unfortunately, I'm not joking at all about this, it is very sad, but I would imagine my friends as cards.

Thanks for pointing out that this is not one of your jokes. It's hard to tell with you sometimes. That's why I make my jokes funny, it distinguishes them from normal conversation. You should try it sometimes. As far as your friends being cards, that's how I always pictured you. Square and flat and can't tell your top from your bottom.

I might be addicted to giving jimmy a hard time.

 

[jimmy p]

pity you are no good at it...

wait... you tell jokes as well?

 

[tribdog]

as well as you, no, better.

Dont flatter yourself, it is unbecoming... besides you are diverting my thread, and don't we enjoy doing that to other people's threads?

I just got over a three week addiction to chunky peanut butter.

Speaking of off topic. When are we going to get that promised picture of tribdog? :grumpy:

I would say math, but I think on this forum that wouldn't be considered "non-addictive".

 

[Math Is Hard]

I think I get addicted to PF sometimes.

I have been addicted to many things, at present the ‘drug’ of choice is a bamboo fishing pole. It has a furry semblance of mouse tied to the end of a string (I’m trying to catch a neighborhood cat but there don’t seem to be any here). It is a lovely piece of varnished stick with wonderful texture…help….

I'm addicted to Minesweeper. :( Carpel Tunnel Syndrome is heading my way soon.

^This isn't my best score unfortunately. I've only done the Expert in 120 seconds.

What's your percentage of wins?

Yep, that would be my non-addictive addiction.

Is there such a thing as a non-addictive addiction? Gamblers Anonymous would call gambling addictive, so by definition if you become addicted to something non-addictive doesn't it therefore become addictive, losing its heretofore mentioned non-addictive status? You know, like the one time what's his name went to that place we were talking about. l;kadsj;oifehneruoiuehhbaj -GIVE ME BACK MY BRAIN.
Damn, ever start typing something and completely lose your train of thought? or even why you were typing in the first place.?

Yes: Physics Forums.

Mine, too. I've also become addicted to Alchemy.

I really like MSN games, and Alchemy is one of my favorites. I also liked Mummy Maze, before they took it away. :grumpy: Fortunately, I downloaded the trial version, and I have 15 games left. Gotta use them sparingly...

What's your percentage of wins?

Probably about 95%.. ADDICT. I used to love minesweeper too.

 

[Gokul43201]

Used to be addicted to Medal of Honor. Now it's all PF. And I think I'm a little addicted to the news too. :grumpy:

I was too hooked on FreeCell to get into minesweep. My percentage on my last hard drive was 99% and I played a LOT . Ivan hates my Free Cell. I haven't really played much on this hard drive (mostly because it's not much of a challange anymore) so it's at 100%. I'm pretty hooked on Alchemy, now.

I'm addicted to oxygen. I wish i wasn't so dependent on it, but if i go more thna few minutes without a hit, it becomes seriously life-threatening. Should ig et into rehab?

 

[Fritz]

I'm addicted to cannabis, which isn't supposed to be physically addictive. Unfortunately it's put me in a permanent brain fog (because I won't stop).

My lungs are being slowly destroyed as well.

I'm also beginning (apparently) to become midly psychotic.

Minesweeper addictees, could you please post your best times?

 

[jimmy p]
