Add another 20 marks on to your total for exhibiting signs of denial.

abuse by internet, sunrise07 time for you to get even.

At the moment, I'm addicted to Thaivisa. I found Thaivisa because I was looking for info on my Thai Visa.

After I visited Thailand and back to the USA I probably slow down. Sometime I tend to posts stuff off topic, sorry for all the OP's out there, what can I say I'm a newbie. Not abuse yet, I'm safe behind the computer.

I alway have good laugh from other posters, alway find some silly comments.

Nice topic. Is there a category for people who binge occasionally?

[JOHN2]

Extremely boring and childish topic that comes up time and time again.

You forget to add:

"How often you read your PM/Messages?"

And here you would be on the very low end because you didn't read your PM's as it looks to me. @ messages I had sent on June 14. 2008 you haven't read yet.

Cheers.

[ConfusedFarang]

No, I wish there was a button to close my account and delete all the posts Ive made.

[britmaveric]

Wouldn't take very long Confused Farang?

A couple of years ago I was addicted for sure.

By the grace of God, I've managed to wean myself off and now can take it or leave it.

I only come here to argue.

[Chang_paarp]

for me it is a sign of boredom, when I am not busy I am here a lot, when I am busy, I don't give it a thought (too often).

I prefer to be busy.

I'm an addict - but my addiction completely disapears when I am in Thailand.

[Patsycat]

I scored 17, does that mean i have to add Thai Visa addiction to all my other ones?

[Insight]

Code, compile, view new posts. It's a habit

[boiledegg]

Thaivisa.com/forum is similar to a car crash in that you just cant help but look.

[astral]

I had a pretty high score too.........

but it never takes over my life.

[DaoDao]

The perfect cure when in europe and homesick to Thailand...!! [so yesss atleast a few weeks per year Im the biggest junky there is ]

[awakened]

Not addicted. No way.

ThaiVisa has just hijacked my browser, that's all.

[sgtpeppers]

There is some good information but 99% of the posts are just dogs barking at the moon.
