:D Oh yeah, I am bad.

Through out the day and into the night I'm on this stupid thing(the computer). Scubaboard over to http://hvac-talk.com/vbb/ . Back and forth all the time. It used to be that I smoked cigars in the office. Now I do this instead. I can, "I'm the boss" :D
 
I just signed up an hour ago...this is my 3rd post. I think I'm hooked already. Being underwater, thinking about being underwater and chatting with others about being underwater...what more could a normal healthy well adjusted person want? ;)

I've been using HappyUnderWater and ScubaGirl for the 10 years I've been on the net...but believe it or not this is the first diving related board I've ever been on let alone signed up for!

I'm sure I'll see all of you around....alot!

Happy Diving (and surfing!)

I'm at my desk for most of the day too, and I find myself clicking over to the almost-always-open ScubaBoard window pretty often. Most days, it's not a problem, but sometimes I get ready to leave in the afternoon and realize that all I've done is post all day...
 
"Standup" Yes, My name is Roy and I am a addict...............member of three forums, have two screens of wich one is just for the forums. Between them all I get no work done. Please help me..............
 
Glad to know I am not alone! I am a receptionist, and have been for so long that part of my job runs off the same part of my brain that makes me breathe & blink. SB keeps the other parts awake & alive :-) Yes, I have checked in the middle of the night if I couldn't sleep (hubby snores.)
 
It appears the subliminals are working properly... I need to revamp the guilt ionizer so people like got4boyz can stay longer. Hey wait a minute... where is that Neo guy? :D
 
hmmm I can't dive yet so ScubaBoard is my only way of "Pretending" . . . course I did finally get a definite date for my cert (Sept 4) though if it's this bad before taking up scuba . . . oh no is there any hope aferwards?
 
I get stuck in long audio conference calls on the phone for at least 3 hours each working day with half a dozen participants so I've got into the habit of multithreading between the conference, my professional mails and Scubaboard.
 
Scubaboard is great for killing time, when you are waiting for something else to happen, and you cant start something new.

Scubaboard is also great for finding out about new dive areas, for dive travel. For example, the Florida Keys. Everyone knows that the Keys are probably the best overall value for great warm water scuba in the USA. And the divers on Scubaboard from the Keys are very gracious about sharing info about scuba in their waters. That way you can put together a do-it-yourself dive trip to the Keys on your own.

I have found the North Carolina and the Michigan divers equally gracious about the shipwreck diving in their waters as well.

Scubaboard is great for jumping into the middle of a technical conversation about nontechnical scuba. That way you can find out very quickly what all the major agencies are teaching in terms of theory and doctrine. It does require weeding though a fair amount of extraneous info as well, such as the ubiquitous backplate and wing response to almost any question: Q: I need a new car to haul my scuba gear around/ A: have you considered a backplate and wing??

And Scubaboard is fun. No wonder it is addicting!
