OFNA - The silent disease

Ontario Fishing Network Addiction

 

It's real and it's spreading.

Just how bad is it?

What can we do to stop it?

I couldn't tell you in minutes or hours per day SNAG, but I've been hanging around here for about 6 years or so, so ya, I guess you could say this place is addictive :thumbsup_anim:

Couple years ago I remember thinking:

Sure is nice to see Lew greeting everyone at 5am.

 

That's addictive!

Hmmm...I chose hours...only because of work though...it's just to handy to log in...LOL.

 

At home, I don't check nearly as often...that's why Monday to Friday I post the most...and barely at all on the weekends.

 

I see it more like checking to see how family is doing...mind you, I don't keep in touch with them as much as I log in here though.

 

I wonder if their phone numbers are up to date in my address book....

 

Think I need an intervention....is there a support group out there?? And don't say OFC Chat....LOL.

Of course it's addictive. I know that some workplaces block sites like this, but thank goodness the MotherCorp is not yet one of them.

 

I do appreciate that they don't allow the Java applet that would let me chat at work. That would be a disaster.

I'm using checking things out every morning before work and again in the evenings. I even tried to access the site from work. With the way the network guys have things locked out ... I was really surprised it was able to get in. I may peek a little a time or two a day ... but won't risk my job over it. But Hey - If I get fired, that's just more time to be on the board ... right ?

Been around this site for about 5 years now. Unfortunately, with lots of other commitments, only get a few minutes a day most times. Almost always find something entertaining or moving to read though...keeps me coming back! A real sense of family, especially after making it out to a couple of Lakairs, swills, and unfortunately, funerals.

Come on...TJ isn't smart enough (buy Jumlas) for that is he? I mean, after all (buy Jumlas), he's just a northern hick who (buy Jumlas) has nothing better to do with his time (buy Jumlas) than run a fishing network.

 

I for one (buy Jumlas) don't believe a word of that. He wouldn't insert messages (buy Jumlas) like that would he?

 

For some reason I feel the need to check out Avery's website to buy some Jumlas.....

While my wife thinks I've lost it for spending so much time here, I think she's glad that she doesn't hear "click, click, click, click,click, click," anymore every time she comes up stairs.

When asked by Sugarpacket if I'd ever take a desk job, my answer was:

 

"Yeah, but I'd be fired within the first few hours for just sitting there on OFC all day"

LOL I have a doctor`s excuse? :whistling: I can`t get out like I used too, it helps me keep what little sanity I have left? :wallbash:

Being somewhat knowledgable of addictions (smoking, booze, fast women and slow horses) I have to say yes, OFC is an addiction... :wallbash:

 

It's not all bad though...I joined in the summer of 2002 and since have met a bunch of swell people...some at meet and greets, some on fishing trips, some at my home and some at theirs and a lot of others just on-line who I hope to meet face-to-face someday... :thumbsup_anim:

 

How much time do I spend here?...Probably too much...Does the Betty Ford Clinic have a program for OFC addiction ??? :whistling:

I resent that (buy jumlas) anyone would insinuate (buy jumlas) that I would in any way (buy jumlas) use this fine forum (buy jumlas) to market any fishing product or services. http://www.averystackle.com

 

That would be unacceptable... buy jumlas.... (Avery's on March break and is bored by now..)

 

.... and ,..... um.... minutes for me....

Mr Beans . Iam totaly in agreement with you on this addiction OFC I have done it all also .Booze ,wild women and such. But this site has become more important than my email.I have met a few guys through this site and belive though I havent met in person I can honestly say that they are a great bunch of fisherpeople (ladies included). I haven't gone the site to introduce myself yet as I cannot compose a introduction.I love watching old cronz on sundays and can remember old Red Fisher from the old days.All I can say for sure that I will follow this site an contribute now and then .Great site and hope it can go for many years .
