Hi my name is Emily and I have am a TE addict.
I am here today to take the first step and admit that I am a compulsive TE message board checker.

I hope you're not suggesting that compulsively checking TE is a bad thing. Cause I do the same thing and I'm certain there is nothing wrong with me.

Hi Emily,
Admitting that "we " have a problem is the first step in getting help....

[OakLeaf]

Oh yes and there's plenty of help available here Just stick around!

Hehehehehehe!!!!! You are the group leader!!

.....and it looks like I have a LOT of work cut out for me! I only have a bit of time in the late evening when I can check the forum but I will do my best to make at least one post a day!

It's fun. I can see how easily one could become a compulsive poster or message board checker!

Ahh, but here's the REAL question. How many of you check and post on other boards as well?

I will be the first to admit I am a regular on a couple of others. Plus I spend a fair amount of time updating Beginner Triathlete, Buckeye Outdoors, Twitter, and my Blog.

And that doesn't count the Podcasts that I listen to with their accompanying websites, and the Blogs that I read.

All at once now: Hi, Emily!

If it makes you feel better to know it, you're not the only one. I've not only had days when I obssesively checked TE a few times a day, but have had a couple of days that I didn't even bother to log off. The obsessiveness is worse on days I really NEED to ride but the @!#$%@$ weather won't cooperate. Like today. It keeps hailing/raining off and on all day. Me want ride bike.

um, why would you bother to log off? Me, I don't have a problem..

[HillSlugger]

Are we supposed to log off?!?

[kelownagirl]

I don't think I've ever logged off.

I am addicted as well.

But you all know that.
