    Is anyone else on here? and if so are you hopelessly addicted? :-D I so am!!:-o LOL

    I spend so many hours on this site, looking at all my friends pin & other peoples pins, getting sucked up into the world of "oooh I like that" or "I wish I had a house like that" or "I love these shoes/jacket/dress" and eventually, I get to the point where I have seen so many things that I like that I feel the need that I.MUST.PIN.EVERYTHING. http://www.svrider.com/forum/images/smilies/smiley_panic.gif


    I just can't seem to help myself, does anyone know if there are any Pinterest anonymous clubs around yet? :-D

    I haven't been able to fathom the point of it, honestly. I like stuff, but I don't see the need to gather all the stuff I like into one website that requires a membership. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that the only people I know who "pin" stuff on Facebook are women who scrapbook (another thing I can't fathom). LOL

    I've never been into scrapbooking, either but I like other crafty things. To me, Pinterest is nice because I can have many different things in one spot. My recipe pins, "I need a giggle" pins, jewelry making idea pins, inspiration pins, clothes I wish I owned pins, and ideas for the house pins. I like the fact I can share ideas with my friends and they can share with me.

    It's actually multitasking at it's finest. LOL


    My friend and I actually made these oatmeal cream pie cookies we found on Pinterest last week and omg were they sooo good. :yum See Pinterest is good for something.. :-D

    I just figure I already spend entirely too many hours online, I surely don't need to add something else to do! LOL

    Although now I really, really want to run to the store for some Little Debbie oatmeal cream pies, because those look ridiculously good and it's 1:30 in the morning so I can't make any now. :-D

    I have never in my life heard of Pinterest. LOL It seems that that is a good thing.. I definitely don't need anything else addictive on the computer.

    My family does Groupon. I am thinking of using that site.

    I suppose if you don't need another addiction, it's best to stay away from Pinterest. LOL

    I never really understood Groupon. Why do people pay for coupons? :confused

    LOL Believe me...I definitely don't.

    I never really did either, dy.:confused My family swears it is good though. My sister emailed me once about an Amazon gift card for $50 that you could buy for $40. So I guess Amazon was offering 20% off.

    Me neither. Agreed that it's a good thing. Never heard of Groupon either, whatever that means :confused. I think as far as 'social' networking is concerned, what I don't know, I don't need to know. LOL I have no wish to display to the entire planet my Cornflake collection, or something.
