by socialchick~ I heard on the radio the other day that they have come up with a new disorder called FAD. Facebook Addiction Disorder. There are actual people out there that can go one hour with out writing something on their Facebook or checking to see if they havecomments. If we have a FAD then I'm sure there are MAD Myspace Addictions Disorder. I can't say that I have either one of these.
What I do have is BBAD BlackBerry Addiction Disorder. Mr. Social bought both of us a blackberry last week and I guess you can say it was our Valentines gift. I went from a phone that was glued together with no texting to having the world at my hands. Let me just say that I LOVE IT! I have never been one on gadgets but I'm addicted to this little berry. Now I want all of my friends and family to get one so that I can message them all day.
I don't have to wonder if someone has posted a comment on a blog while I'm out of the house. It comes to my phone. I have it all and I'm so glad that we got them. Let me just add here that I haven't had a new phone for 4 years. I'm pretty rough on my phones but I'm learning how to treat this one like a baby or like a tiny little juicy berry. lol
So do you have something that you are addicted to? Maybe you have FAD, MAD, or BBAD. How long have you been addicted. Lets just call our little session GA, gadgets anonymous. So Hi, I'm socialchick and I have been addicted to my BlackBerry for 2 weeks now.
Let me just say thanks to Mr. Panio Man at church for showing Mr. Social his BlackBerry. That was all she wrote. lol!
Here is my new baby!
Hi, I'm Lisa Nall and I'm addicted to my Flip Video. I received it as a present for Christmas and I carry it in my purse every where I go.
FVAD

I have a small dose of FAD.
And I'm sure if I had a blackberry I would have BAD too.

Hi my name is Crystal, and I have SAD--Sevenchicks Addiction Disorder. I have been addicted since the beginning in 2007.

ahhh yes, I am familiar with FAD, not that I have it, I rarely check mine, but I do know someone else who does. Now that Bad, I am probably guilty of that, I got mine a couple days ago, Tips is in the mail now. But oh, I don't know how I got along without one...they are ReeeEEEALY Nice. I wish the Nextel ones were just alittle faster, but still, Nice, and it beats not getting a signal much at all with our Sprint phones.

YES IT IS CALLED BASEBALL OR REALLY ANY SPORTS

I might have a slight case of FAD, however, I know when my blackberry gets here that I will definitely have BBAD. I guess my question is - if you know something will be this addicting and you get it anyway, what does that mean about you?

I have a small addiction MAD, especially when I'm at school during my three hour break. But my biggest addiction is to watching Chuck. If I have to work Monday nights I rush whomever I close with, rush home, make Mom turn the channel to Chuck (or make her watch the beginngin while I"m driving home) and watch the middle/end. Then the next day, I was the whole episode online.

Jessica, you need to invest in a DVR or a Teabo that records all of your favorite shows. THen there would be no rushing home. IT would be waiting for you when you arrived.

I would say I have a TAD - tanning addiction disorder. I know its bad for you, but I figure its easier than losing weight and, tell me if I am wrong ladies, but fat always looks better tan. I think it was our own dear socialchick that said "chunk" looks better tan. I couldn't agree more.

Ok! I'll admit I have EAD. Etsy Addiction Disorder. It is wonderful. I love all the creativity, some of it is weird. I have gotten lots of ideas for embroidery and my new project is applique's. My lil Sis has been wanting me to do them for her sorority (spelling I know)forever!

Hi, I am Scrapper and my husband is addicted to his Blackberry- he has BBAD. We have renamed it the "Crackberry" and I refust to get one because I too will become an addict and someone must help him through this ordeal. I am addicted to my computer and the internet. I need it! I need to be able to check e-mail, facebook, etc. I know, it would be easier to have a Crackberry but I am trying to wait until after my son is born.

LOL... my name is Merrie I am a FAD. My daughter is BBAD and FAD. We are both BADs (Blogger Addicted...)
My phone contract is about to end and I expect that we will be getting either iPhones or Blackberrys... just another addiction coming around the corner.

I am addicted to reaching out with others on my blog, http://n-tono-a-sunshine.typepad.com/hispagetonoway/, just as you all are to a lost world. I started my blog primarily for my friends and family. It was my vision for my wife and me to do this. My wife doesn’t feel that she has a lot to say to others. I disagree, but that’s something that God has to communicate to her through His Holy Spirit. It’s reaching out to them, showing a real person who strives to serve the Lord. I pray that you all will continue to do what all seven of you are doing, showing your real side—women whose desire is to show God’s love, grace and mercy.
I would like you all to read my blog at your convenience and let me know if you have any suggestions on how I can meet this idea of reaching out to others about being REAL and displaying God’s character in whole in reaching out to the confused and challenged world.

I want a blackberry. Someone tell my husband that I want a blackberry.....please!!
Posted by: singerchick | February 24, 2009 at 12:32 PM
I have a Treo 755. I have had Palms for a long time. I haven’t caught on to the Blackberries yet. I like it because it’s like a mobile laptop for me. I can also post on my blog from it when I’m out anywhere, as long as there a mobile signal. I have done that on several occasions. That is really a cool thing to do! What can I say? Sometimes ... I am a kid at heart!

I would like to join the BBAD club, I am a little jealous of your new baby!!! It is the coolest!
