Re: why do you post?
Long night shifts:zzz:
Live vicariously through others who are where I want to be:confused: Reassurance that there is alway someone worse off than me:thumbup: Intellectually stimulating conversation:rolleyes: Reassurance when I get my weekly panic:eek: Unlimited opportunity to ask perfect strangers personal questions and then tell them how to live their lives - what woman wouldn't be right at home:lol::lol::thumbsup: |

Why do you post?
'cause it's cheaper than FedEx. :p I'm retired not allowed to do anything "too" physical. So I spend time on my computer editing my photo's and generally harassing the people on this forum.:p:rofl::rofl: It keeps me off the streets.:thumbsup: |

You dont have to constantly explain your actions. Great advice - I couldnt have done this without you nutters and BE:rofl: Worked in an office on my own with complete access to the internet:eek: Great fun reading the ups and downs of everyone elses experiences. Beats Eastenders anyday - this could be the script for a new soap - so who will come up with the best name first? See now you are all going to have to come back for more to see what the soap name will be:rofl: |

It's how I like to spend some of my free time. It's the lesser of two evils - it's either coming in here or watching Judge Judy and Dr Phil on the box (ooops, I manage to do both at the same time ;)) I feel like I belong to a special kind of 'secret' club ;) I also like to see how others are coping with such a huge change in their lives To pass on some tips to others that I have learned along the way Oh, and I forgot.............. I am addicted ;) yay another judge judy addict. ;) |
Re: why do you post?
I live by internet. My work is some sort of computer stuff that I reach through the internet, my domestic communication (with parents, children and other relatives) is via email and the blog, I met my partner and most of the people I know in Canada from the internet (www.guardian.co.uk/talk). Since I'm usually connected for work (including when camping, in aeroplanes, while driving a car, almost always) it's natural to post and this is a nice lazy site on which to do so.

Re: why do you post?
For those that said its better than a soap - seriously, you're right. Did everyone see the thread in the immigration forum titled "can I?" ? Most people probably missed it cause it was in the immigration forum and the title didn't give much away but it was about a long-distance love affair and quite interesting (well I thought anyway)

For me its primarily because I hate my job and if it didn't have something else to do all day I'd be bored out of my mind 1001 uses for marmite |

Re: why do you post?
Because I really do need to understand the fascination with Girly Hairwassisnames.?!:rofl:
Nah, Really this is like any other online community, it gets addictive after a while. I like the sense of humour, the sense of belonging & the feeling that no matter where I might travel in Canada* there's sure to be some BE poster who can recommend where to get a decent beer! * Perhaps not in Iqualuit. |

Re: why do you post?
Having been to many forums, including one as a moderator, i can confirm that chat forums are addictive.
This one is one of the better ones and i come here for advice and try to help others when i can. That is why i post here. |
