Oh YEA!!! I Qualify!!! It- it was sooo bad!! I was FORCED to take a weekend vacation,
and the place I was at had NO PC!! The longest weekend in my LIFE! I had Firefly
withdrawl symptoms, y'know, staring at the TV set, pretending to type on an imaginary
keyboard (They said it was really the VCR under the TV). All the time I was thinking
*bleep* I got Bumped Again!!! I tried everything, butt the shakes just wouldn't stop!
FINALLY I got home and forgot to put the car in park so I could run in and log on! Police
finally found the car in Canada. That's OK! They can keep it!!! I've got my FIREFLY back!
I LOVE YOU MAN!!! See Ya!!!
Just last week at 1:30 pm, my ISP disconnected me and I got an error saying I had no dialtone. I
called the phone company and was informed a severe short circuit in the phone lines. They
said they would get a technician out by the next afternoon. Well, as you may guess, instant
panic set in. *LOL* I went into instant lying mode and told them that that was unacceptable
as I had an international conference call on-line in 5 hours and my business stood to lose
thousands of dollars if it sdidn't happen. The tech switched me to a supervisor who said they
would try to get a tech out right away. Needless to say, it didn't happen and I was without the
net for 9 hours. I kept trying throughout the day to reconnect and I was shaking all day.
Finally, without warning, 9 hours later, it fixed itself. I was flooded with relief.
I can't go passed a PC without getting on
ffly....and I met and just recently married a fellow fflyer.....I am just a little more addicted
than he is....*smile*...BTW, we are on our honeymoon right now...had to stop in to a college
computer lab to get our fix...
I was SOOOO po'ed at them when it didn't work right!!.....and I almost never go anywhere
else on the 'net EVER!....:)
I'm not at all addicted to ffly...and if I didn't have so many messages to answer I'd tell you
just how unaddicted I really am...hehehee...butt of course I'm too busy with messages to
more fully answer your message about addiction stories!!! ;-)
Hi there!!! Well let me see... one thing was that when I first started using firefly, and used
the chat rooms all the time (buzz at the time!), I couldn't ever leave the chat rooms for more
than a couple of minutes.... (I had just started a new job, in a newly formed department, so
not a whole lot to do!) So in the process of a couple of weeks, I managed to lose 10lbs in
weight, because all I could bear to do was go to the kitchen in the building I worked in and
make some crispbreads with a bit of spread on, and go back to my desk... too busy typing to
even pick it up!!! Great!
My mother is a teacher at school, and I used to sneak out of class every day to her room and
use the internet just to get on firefly. sometimes when I don't have mail i feel insecure and
check it again. i can hardly sleep without checking my fly mail everyday. I'm almost always
online if you want to contact me. hope these stories warn people of the addiciton power of
firefly.
I first became aware that I was an addict when in one day I logged
onto ffly at 9a.m. right after my family took my daughter for the
day and I stayed here until 5a.m. the next morning. I didn't stop to
eat or even just to rest my eyes. Then I slept for 2 hours and got
up and immediately logged back on. : )
This is how i'm on the computer. I come in and fight my mom for the computer and i win
anways i cruise around ffly looking for new friends and i'm on for about 3 hours and 45 minutes
and then i get off and then come back cruise around!
I am addicted to fly!!! I say this with my head hung down in shame and
utter disbelief...I was raised as a level headed person who managed to keep
from getting addicted to the normal addictions such as sex,drugs and
rock&roll...But here I sit in front of a 102 key phone lined monster!!!!that
is taking up all my wakeing hours!!! I should have seen the warning signs
comming like my wife leaving me because of lack of attention or my dog dying
from malnutrition I never had time to feed him!!!!!!I had just discoverd
Fly!!!!!My worst incident happened a few months ago...It was a stormy
night!!! But that didnt bother me I had my computer and I was on the
net!!!Then all of a sudden out of the dark night sky came that crack of
lightning and the long roll of thunder..in just that instant my power went
out!!!There I was sitting in the dark....without my trusted friend, my
confidant...the web........thats when a panic attack set in....my hands
began to tremble.....What was I to do?Without thinking I got up put on my
jacket and shoes and went out into the fierce rain storm walking aimlessley
through dark rain soaked streets as fog started to blow across in front of
me.....I seen it.....There in the distance....were my eyes deceiving me? as
I drew closer my heart started pumping faster and faster,my stride picked up
and before I knew it I was at a full paced run!!!!YES!!!!!!The 24 hour
computer store was open and holding an internet demonstration....as iburst
through the doors dripping wet I noticed that there was only one computer
left that was hooked up to the net....as I made my way to thelast computer a
little old lady she had to be 90 or so, sat down at my last hope to get back
on the net!!!!! I couldnt take it anymore......I grabbed the little old lady
and was going to take the computer away from her...thats when my common
sense kicked in{and the 200 pound salesman}and made me relize I was
wrong!!!! at that very moment I dropped to my knees and begged for
forgivness!!!!as I begged the 200 pound salesman was kind enough to show me
where the door was and politley asked me to leave{politley be dambed he
threw me out on my ear} There I was back in the cold dark night with the
rain beating down on me.....I started walking with my head still
confused.... wandering with nowhere to go!!!!! Thats when I noticed...that
one of the houses had lights on!!!! I looked around and I seen another house
all in brightness....Could this be possible? Could my house have the power
back on? I rushed down the dark street and rounded the corner on to my
street,I looked up at my house...it's still in darkness!!!!!! My heart sank
deep into my chest!Then I remembered that I had shut the lights off before I
went out!!!!Is it possible that I had power? I raced up the stairs to my
front door and started fumbling through my pockets looking for my keys.....I
relized I had locked myself out of the house!!!It took every bit of strength
I had left but I managed to kick the door down!!!!I went inside and
nervously tried the light switch.....To my amazement the light came on!!!I
rushed to the computer throwing my jacket in a heap in the corner, my shoes
went flying somewhere...to this day I havent found them!!!I sat at the
computer and turned it on...the sound of it booting up was music to my
ears!!!!Well Thats my worst incident...I hope it never happens again!!! To
stop it from happening again I have bought a gas powered generator just in
case of a power shortage...I am also trying to figure some way of hooking
my notebook computer to a cell phone....so I can leave home and take the net
with me!!!....I thank you for starting a page to help us addicted fly
members......
Yours truly,
Fishingman000 :)
our dorm computer lab closes at 11:00 pm, so my roommate and i tried 2 figure out how 2 break in in the middle of the night 2 get on firefly
I am going out today to try for a job that has or
wells depends on using a computer and my story is since i have
been in college i have spent my days and breaks in between
classes on the computer constantly checking my e-mail and loging
into firefly I have even set up my own homepage visited over 100
sites and chatted to people all over the world. If you would like
more then just ask for it. Another litle thing i have 4 e-mail address
tooooooo.
I once got up at 6:00am in the morning and didn't eat all day. I stated on till 10:00pm that
night. Another time I told mum I was going to check my messages and it would only take 5
mins. I stayed on it for 5 hours
I just wanted to let you know that due to my ffly addiction I am now married to my ffly love... REDROCKER98 .... So how does that grab you! We have been happily married since May 10th!
I'm a Mac user with no experiences with a PC. When I took a trip for business this week, I couldn't STAND to be outa touch, so I borrowed a laptop. All I could get was a Compaq Presario, so I taught MiSelf DOS and Windows on the flight to Omaha. Some people will do ANYTHING for their fix!
i do get up in the middle of the night to get on here.i remember one time i got up at 3:00 in the morning cuz i couldnt sleep so i got on here and i stayed on until 8:00 in the morning.i really cant keep away from this place and im glad i cant!
The Webcowboy here can't get enough of Ffly online in his free time so he's buying a license for his corporation. He'll be on nearly 24 hours a day between the two places.
I need help, or just a portable rubber room (with unlimited access, of course). I've been a member for a while, and kinda grew out of ffly, but it is still stuck in my brain. I can't really do as much with the page as I can with my other pages, but I still try to get here to do a little "upkeep". I just found out that angelfire.com has set up individual e-mail accounts for their page holders, and I didn't even try to get that one. I guess you could say that I am working on the net even when i am not online! The net has engraved itself into my BRAIN!
As a recovering ffly addict I would like to testify to all ffly addicts that there IS hope...in the spring of '96 I discovered ffly and the rest of my life came to grinding halt...thank goodness I am a teacher and had the summer off otherwise I would surely have lost my job! At the height of my addiction I had quite literally moved into my computer room, which was small enough I could actually reach out and turn on the modem before getting out of bed in the morning! I am happy to say that one and half years later I have recovered to the point that I have actually found the time to give birth ( and of course for the necessary preliminaries to that end;)...*sigh*...alas, the computer room is now a nursery, and the PC has been relegated to the basement. I do still find time to sneak down here though, and have gotten pretty good at typing one handed while rocking my little future ffly addict! :)
as for my story.. which one.. well this winter I went to Colorado to visit my mom for a month, and they didn't have a local server, so I ended up racking up a $160 phone bill dialing in long dist to my server, and cursing the old lines where she lived 'cause I was only getting a 14.4 connection *L*
