Here, pshrynk, have some fresh oatmeal bread with butter. Read your ebook reader or MR while you are eating. See now, aren't they ALL addictive?? [back on topic]

Well this addiction is going to have to back burner for awhile. I leave a week from tomorrow and have just bareky packed anything.

pshrynk · 03-04-2009, 07:04 PM

Can't be done. I was leaving on vacaton in Dec and doing the mobile site while pulling out my swim trunks.

Yeah, but I'm MOVING! This is not one of those "oh I forgot my suit!" routines!

Oh! For that, I usually start 2 months in advance, packing stuff! I move frequently....

Hmmm, I do have that whole net of walnuts... And I just recently bought a bread machine...

But what is "Gold Medal® Better for Bread™ flour". Is that just your ordinary flour you use for bread? Nothing special about it?

I did start a "Recipe" thread earlier this week - glad to see everyone is using it ....

We're having the MRA meeting over there after this one got hijacked.

desertgrandma · 03-05-2009, 09:07 AM

Hello, I"m desertgrandma, and I''m a "mobileread-aholic"

Wait.

Didn't I already do this?

I think I've 'fallen off the wagon,' so to speak......

pshrynk · 03-05-2009, 09:12 AM

So, does posting here in MRA count as feeding the addiction?

Absolutely. Positively. So why did you start this thread, anyway??

Enabler!

pshrynk · 03-05-2009, 09:18 AM

Well, so that I could go to meetings without missing out on anything. That makes sense, doesn't it?

Hi, I'm DixieGal and I'm an addict. (Hi DixieGal)

I'm weak. After the meeting yesterday, I continued to post to MR. Each post became more and more erratic and incoherent as the afternoon progressed.

Vowing to quit again, I left the office at 4:30. On the drive home, I told Tim about a few funny things I had read on here during the day. He told me not to get fired.

All evening, I kept looking at my shiny laptop sitting on it's little snack table next to the sofa. It was difficult, but I managed not to open the lid and push the button. Then, just as I became drowsy and was locking up before bed, my resistance faltered and I turned it on. Just for a moment. I only scanned the topics and didn't look at any individual threads. I held my breath and didn't inhale, you know, like my fave past Prez.

I feel so dirty.
