Can someone please help?

steveland?

I seem to be addicted to solitaire on the pc! Does anyone else find any time they turn on the computer they do nothing but play solitaire?

I tried weening myself off it and on to spider solitaire (its like methadone) but i just relapsed.

Someone should engineer together a solitaire patch or solitaire gum...

Then again I could just be babbling....

I had a similar experience with Freecell, but with the help of my life coach and the support of of my friends and family, I've been Freecell-free for 290 days. You can get through this one day at a time! In the meantime, ever try After Dark games version of solitare or Moo shoo? Fun stuff.... I'm being an enabler aren't I?

plus the most boring day in work ever where there was no customers to be rude to has caused me to have a surplus of sarcasm to be let off in one big go...

You find some people have addictive personalities and will get addicted quite easily to what most people would describe as only mildly interesting activities.

I'd advise you to steer clear of snake on some of the older Nokia mobiles, even small doses of Ritalin, and autoerotic asphyxiation.

For temporary relief, go to 'Add/Remove Programs' -> 'Remove Windows components' and remove the games component. You'll probably only reinstall it after you have visions of infants crawling on your bedroom ceiling.

Solitaire is boring. Free Cell is a far better game. I have been known to go through periods of playing it a lot. You'll never play Solitaire again once you do!

the sims is the game that hooked me.....

I seem to be developing a very serious addiction to wasabi, especially those japanese wasabi peas. How do they get peas to be crunchy anyways?

steveland?

speaking of things that are on tv late night i cant stop watching that guy with the slicer thing where he just slices up loads and loads of vegetables.


I want one of those Miracle Spiral Cutters... I guess id get addicted to spiral cucumbers or something though

munkeehaven

yeah, you think like that if you get one of those things you will turn onto a health freak but i'd say id get bored of them in a day...anyway cucumbers make me feel sick, if i eat them the smell of the inner flesh make me gag.

Ugh, I'm watching Dr.Phil now. Such utter shíte, but other peoples problems seem amusing somehow. The man himself can be quite amusing himself sometimes too..........Oh god I'm rationalising myself watching Dr.Phil. Shoot me now

Oh baby, the Sims . . . If I'm sick out come the Sims, better before I've killed off my love-child. HEH HEH!!!

Not quite so heavy duty is minsweeper . . . oh baby!!! My advice to those wishing to give up adictions to crappy games? Perfectly simple, don't bother. It's real cool :cool:

I find that solitaire was as addicitive as hell when I downloaded it onto my mobile. found another ggme to replace it tough, and now i'm a survivor of cancer by solitaire
