intermittant boredom on R/S is a good thing?

Eagle Woman, you crack me up!

Answer 1

I'd say when my supper is burning on the stove but I have to answer ........ one ......... more ......... question........ then maybe I'm addicted. lol Thank God for take-out!

Answer 2

I do get bored sometimes but then I just go do other things. There is so much more out in the real world!

I really don't care about other people's opinions and just like to laugh at some of the answers I read. Some people are sooooo serious. They need to lighten up.

Answer 3

Mostly Ppl Out of Boredom Visit YA

Answer 4

Yeah, The questions are often times a little lame,partially due to the fact that many of the Atheist generals,seem to have gone to never-never land. (probably being interrogated by the Yahoo Brotherhood). Often times I feel the possibility of an addiction,but I know beyond any shadow of a doubt,that God has sovereignly placed me here, first and formost to both share and defend the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I am very aware of other good things that He is working in me,to better serve him,through the participation in R&S.

I very much enjoy being witness to and part of the community of Christians who post here regularly..and who each has a role,with unique giftings and talents that are used by Lord Jesus, to further the Kingdom of God.

Answer 5

I get bored when my peeps aren't around to keep me grounded and a little more accountable for my words. I have a rare form of Tourette's Syndrome. You can ask B. Bobby if you don't believe me. We apparently are on the same medication. I still prefer my horses to the computer, so am I off the hook or should I find a 12 step program?

Edit: I can't ride my computer but to it's credit, I never have to clean up it's poop. Is this a trick question?

Answer 6

I guess that I am not addicted then, because I sure get bored when I can't find a reasonable question to answer. Sometimes I have to sift through pages and pages of stupid questions like FSM and muffin mania.

Answer 7

I do get bored sometimes with the same old questions so I must be o.k. except for the fact that if I get bored here I go straight to u tube to check out the big brother videos.

Answer 8

I do get burned out. I will spend hours on here, getting lost in it all. But I can quit whenever I want...I think.

So many questions are repeated so many times on here, but I am still drawn to them like a moth to a flame. I enjoy communicating with people on here. There are so many unique experiences and points-of-view.

Answer 9

That's why i go away for days at a time. Well, that and sharing the pc with 2, or 3 other people.

Answer 10

I guess I am not addicted then, but, does it count if you just get so fed up with really uneducated answers that you change your home page to Google for a while?

Answer 11

Bonsai Bobby said it best for me :)

I come here for study idea's and links (yup...addicted to research in Bible and on-line) as well as answering a few questions here and there... mostly read the answers (yup...addicted to reading) and praying for folks (yup...addicted to praying)

ummm...come to think of it that's a LOT of addictions... (will have to talk to Father God about that....)

LOL as for Eaglewoman's comments, get plenty of practice shoveling up certain smelly stuff here at R&S as well as cleaning up after dog outside/kitty pan inside/and constantly on sniff alert to grandchildren's smelly problems as well, LOL

Peace be with you all :)
