Why is it that everytime I have a lapse in concentration at the office I use it as an excuse to check out TT on the 'net? Why can't I just get back to work instead of spending 10 minutes on the net? 30 minutes later I'm checking back in. Are 12 step programs available?

Anyone else? Or should I say everyone else?

During these holidays when everyone is taking vacation, and I feel like I am the only poor soul here - i been posting on TT like crazy. Can't concentrate, and can't get work done cause it depends on those luck ****s that are out free and roaming the Earth... sigh...

The first step to recovery is facing your addiction...

The only therapy for TT addiction is getting out on the trail.

What are you getting promoted to, Head Hiker in Charge? Surely that won't take away your TT priveleges

I have the same concern. TT has provided a tangible outlet for my outdoor daydreaming. This could be a problem. I have access to a 24 hour fireside chat with about 1000 other folks who have at least one common interest with me.

Curses to Al Gore and Matt for creating this monster.

The true test of the addiction is how quickly you go into withdrawals when Matt's server goes down.

My wife and I had the great pleasure of meeting the most congenial Mr. Dayhiker. 'Twas a pleasure to meet him after sharing TT with him for more than 5 1/2 years.

What's with this congenial stuff? Does that mean he picked up the check?

LOL.

LOL!

No, its just that he didn't swear or pull out a weapon when we ran off and stuck him with the check.

Seriously though he was good company and a gentleman.
