Talking Addicted to REW

Help! I can't get away from this message board!!!

I read an article, follow a few outbound links, come back read some more, follow a link by ResaleBroker, judyo,pcdoc, kyle422, Jnazareno, jessiesc, Fort Lauderdale, Eric Blackwell etc.... Go look at their site for ideas, follow some more of their links, work on my site for 1/2 hour then I'm back here again.

This morning I've got to go take some listing photos, get those on the web, create a few new postcards, open a wordpress account, sign up for homefeedback. com, pay some bills, add some pages to the site... but I keep on getting side tracked and ending up here.

Moderators, please limit my visits to no more than 5 a day or I'll never get anything done

LOL! I've been there. I usually stop by REW to take a break between needed jobs (esp. the more tedious ones).

  1. Postcard (done waiting approval)
  2. Pictures (taken waiting for editing and upload)
  3. Wordpress (installed pretty easily on test server, took 15 minutes)
  4. Radio ads, to drum up more listings (submitted)
  5. Newspaper ad (updated and submitted)

I've earned a little more REW forum time.

If I am on my computer, I have a window open to REW and an E-mail notification so I know if someone replies to thread. I think it's a sickness!

I read about 50 times more than I post, it takes me about 1 minute on average to post, and I have 5000 posts - lets do the math 5000 x 1 x 50 = 250,000 minutes converted to hours = 4166 hours - yeah I guess i'm addicted

To put that in perspective - a typical 40 hour work week is 2080 hours per year, so a person would have to work a full time job for 2 years just to amount to the amount of time I have spent on this forum lol

Moderation's overrated. (grin)

Moderator's are not!

Most successful people I know do NOT lead a balanced life...but they DO have fun!

Actually, doing web work has helped me get thoughts from mind to keyboard much more quickly that I ever thought I could.

What I appreciate most about this forum is that folks are friendly and helpful. I really enjoy people who share my passion for REALTORS, real estate and the web. Morgan, you have spent WWAAYYY too much time on the site--but if I haven't said so lately...Thanks. The autism forum that I recently started has taught me just how much Diet Mt. Dew you have to consume to do this...(grin)

And without browsers that have the ability to Tab between sites and high speed internet access...we'd all be toast!
