[steffie]

I am ADDICTED to the threads................In th morning, afternoon, night, before bed., in between. Does it ever go away? I hope not!!!

[NYMAMA]

[rosetree]

Like I posted yesterday...
You know you're a Threadhead when--Your wife goes home to get your laptop so you can post on the boreds with your friends during the NFC Championship game!!!!!;) Yup, she's definately a keeper!!!!!
400+ posts and counting, steffie you got some catching up to do!!!:D

[NOLA]

I've got it too. Somewhere on here there is a 12-step program for this "problem"...

[bluedog]

I found a new drug! :o I should be watching the kids, instead the TV is watching them for me while I read, read, read thru the threads and anticipate the big weekend! I LOVE THIS PLACE!

[breambob]

I'm not addicted. I can stop for hours at a time, and I've been able to do this for about 6 or 7 years now. I just takes willpower.

THREADHEAD 12-STEP PROGRAM

http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2003-1/86486/steps.gif

We:


admit we are powerless over our need to check the Jazzfest board—that our online lives had become consumed by the threads
come to believe that only the power of Jazzfest can restore us to sanity.
make a decision to turn our time and our money over to Jazzfest.
make a searching inventory of our Jazzfest backpacks.
admit to ourselves, and to the threadheads, our secretive trips to check the board when we should be working
are entirely ready to boogie at Jazzfest.
humbly ask all threadheads to overlook our comfortable shoes, sunburned skin and funny dance moves.
make a list of all persons we have met on the board, and become willing to meet them at Lena’s booth
buy beers and give lagniappe to those people wherever possible
continue to check the cubes and grids in search of the perfect music
seek through music to gain joy and happiness
having had a musical awakening as the result of these steps, we try to carry this message to music lovers everywhere and promise to return to the threadhead board each year

Man, I just love that!!!

Steffie hunni, you ARE addicted and I love it :) This is one addiction I never want to recover from. Rosetree, you are so hooked! Hoorayyyyyy!!!!

[Mardigrasbaby35]

;) I gave into the addiction last year, i just keep repeating those 12 steps, but it doesn't seem to be helping me kick the habit, it only seems to make the addiction stronger ;)

There has never been any intention of beating this addiction - we revel in it!

[Mardigrasbaby35]

Yep, that pretty much works for me.....

[stlbarb]

I post, therefore I am.

roflmao Barb! :)

[jhjpotter]

It's like, "Oh yeah...I'm only going to try heroin once...just once....once i swear....never again after that....GIVE ME MORE!!!!!" Not really, but you get what I'm saying ;)

[steffie]

It's getting bad. Now I'm doing it at work.

[BigDag]

It's getting bad. Now I'm doing it at work.

Work? Oh yeah, I remember that. I don't seem to be getting much done lately...

[Amy Winette]

Yeah, I used to close my door at work and try to be sneaky, I've long since given that up ;)

[pokerchick66]

I would NEVER look at the threads while at work.

[Corona]

me too Amy....people walk in my office and I dont even bother to shrink the window anymore....no one's said anything yet but I'm sure my staff is talking behind my back about it. I guess that's life huh? I really can't stop :(

[Zydekitten]

That's one of the very many great things about working from home . . . my cat has learning to quit giving me crap about my time on the Boreds! ;)

[steffie]

I got busted by one of my patients. However, she is now turned on to the Nola Jazzfest, which she never knew exhisted. So it was worth the bust!!

[Amyloves...]

That's too funny steffie!

[rosetree]

Ahhhhh, one of the perks of owning your own business!!! ;) :p

So you think I might be addicted?

[Festaholic]

I'm posting on this thread simply to up my post count. I'm addicted to reading the thread and stop by several times a day. I don't post as much because it seems the "regulars" have all met in person. One of these years I'll be able to go all 10 days and get to the Patry. Until then...I lurk.

[ibjamn]

Not True! Many of us posting have not met. Besides, you don't have to go to the patry to meet everybody. Every fest day there is a meet-up behind Ms. Lena's beer tent. TImes will be posted after the cubes come out.
ALL are welcome!!!

I've been posting for almost five years, and I've only met a handful of the other T-heads. But that's my own fault; I haven't taken advantage of many of the opportunities. (I plan to do better this year.) So don't let that stop you; share your love of the Fest and New Orleans with the rest of us. We all have that in common.

[funkkjunkie]

I'm the worst for not making meetups but try to make at least one a weekend. I, like grisgris, look for those on the edge of the crowd of ths at the meetup. those who are likely new to the group. Like IBJ says, ALL are welcome.
