Spider Solitaire addiction???

Is anyone out there like me, addicted to Spider Solitaire? I know that compared to games that cost money, it isn't a problem. What it really costs me is my time. I'd have so much time to do more if I didn't play this game several hours a day (not every day, but at least once a week. I was thinking not long ago that I don't even remember what I used to do before I started playing this stupid game. I've taken the darn thing off my computer, only to go back out into cyberspace and reinstall it.
Kindred spirits out there?

One of the awesome things about have a support system like this is that people can constantly remind you. "you don't NEED to do this". Think about it, I'm sure your life continued without many surprises or interruptions during your break. In fact, there was probably some enjoyable experiences that you might of not caught at the moment, but were able to enjoy because that time wasn't spent being on a game with temporary rewards.

Here's a hug and a quote/picture and remember XD
YOU DON'T NEED SOLITAIRE, AND IT DOESN'T NEED YOU.
(try spending the time leftover helping others where together you could really achieve something, preferably something that means a lot to you)
And if you try documenting your thoughts you might find out more as to why you're doing this to yourself and what you can do about it.

I guess I was a little vague, "try volunteering for something that you would like to see a difference in" is what I meant. It's not to late to! :)

Yep. Perfect procrastination game. I'm a writer, and when I get frustrated or hit a plot block, off I go for a few games of Spider (2 suit).
So I've made a YouTube channel of my addiction. At least I feel like I'm accomplishing something!

I don’t hold the budget of the game against it, but the world of Observer is just crying out to be explored.

While things aren’t exactly jump scare level scary on http://scarymazezgame.org/ , the immersion aided both combat and general atmosphere well. Although combat starts out as a tense affair, you’ll quickly notice the clunky controls and repetitive combat. When compared to God of War, the action doesn’t come anywhere close.

    My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
