    Probably only 10-30 minutes, but nearly daily. There are worse things to be addicted to.

    LOL! I'm a daily visitor and my husband says I'm addicted to PC! Then again, he appreciates all the things I've learned here and the twisted bits I pass on from FHOP!

    I even had fun with my salesperson, who was surprisingly knowledgeable based on the stories I've heard here. He and I would try to top each other with obscure Prius facts and features. Thanks to PC, I held my own.

    I'm loving my 3 month old IV too!

    Fourteen whole posts in three months, and you're worried about addiction? From this perspective, you haven't exhaled your first puff yet. :rolleyes:

    I was thinking the same, considering that we have about 20,000 posts between us.

    LOL!
    NO kidding.... some of us are chattier than others ey?

    Is there a 12 step group for pc'ers that have gone over the edge? My kids are sure tired of hearing things that start with this:
    "I read the most interesting thing on priuschat today...."

    Much less inhaled yet. One could make the argument that the OP hasn't even come into consistent second-hand contact....:)

    It not a place for children. But it is a place for the immature.

    You can stop the addiction by trading your Prius in for a Chevy Cruze. You probably won't find interesting people there though.

    Story of my life.

    I was hooked five years ago. At this point I'm just trying to keep an equilibrium between PriusChat and all that irrelevant background noise that gets in the way of PriusChat. Yes, there have been evenings where I have hit "View New Posts" so often that there are no new posts.

    So, how is this a bad thing? :huh:

    My "addiction" to Prius Chat got me a trip to Detroit, the chance to meet really great people (like Pat Sparks and all the other Pat Sparks), and a few really funny jokes to tell my DH.

    And, I don't spend that much time here. Really. Um... no, not that much time.

    I tried a 12 step program, but by step three I got distracted and clicked on another thread.
