You don't know that.

Everything

Thread is starting to read like a GLB Anonymous meeting.
Take the GLB screening quiz:

Q: Do you lose time from work due to GLBing? - No, but I used to.
Q: Is GLBing making your homelife unhappy? - No, but it used to.
Q: Do you GLB because you are shy with other people? - No.
Q: Is GLBing affecting your reputation? - With who? No.
Q: Have you ever felt remorse after GLBing? - Tons
Q: Have you had financial difficulties as a result of GLBing? - No, but I used to
Q: Do you turn to inferior companions and environments when GLBing? - Huh? Does Madcow count?
Q: Does your GLBing make you careless of your family's welfare? - Probably.
Q: Has your ambition decreased since GLBing? - Never had any. Not even on GLB anymore.
Q: Do you crave GLB at a definite time daily? - Every other day
Q: Do you want GLB the next morning? - Sometimes
Q: Does GLBing cause you to have difficulty in sleeping? - Sometimes I think of something that might work while laying in bed, so yeah.
Q: Has your efficiency decreased since GLBing? - Probably
Q: Is GLBing jeopardizing your job or business? - No.
Q: Do you GLB to escape from worries or trouble? - No.
Q: Do you GLB alone? - Uh, yeah.
Q: Have you ever had a loss of memory as a result of GLBing? - Nope.
Q: Has you physician ever treated you for GLBing? - Nope.
Q: Do you GLB to build up your self-confidence? - Absolutely. Reading posts from most of the GLB community makes me feel much better about myself for not being such a douche.
Q: Have you ever been to a hospital or institution on account of GLBing? - No, but I should.

lol

I like to brag about my gold trophies and player ratings at parties. When I bust out my 4 time MVP HB the panties drop right off.

Would be ashamed for them to find out this is what I have been wasting my time on instead of spending more time with them. I guess this explains why I feel more and more ashamed the longer I continue to play this game.

A time waster like spider solitaire is different. For one you can start and stop that anytime and plus its free. Also, there are no anonymous internet friends you are dorking around with discussing math problems (or worse arguing with).

Yeah this

The other day I got cross with my kid for interrupting me while doing something on GLB.

I immediately did a WTF dude to myself, and walked away from the game to go do whatever it was she wanted me to do.

Perspective is important.

You certainly don't want her to get a bad feeling about GLB at such a young age.
Then she might never grow up to play and get hooked herself.....

i have a couple of programmer friends who are impressed when i tell them how the game works. but then they laugh at me when i tell them it costs more than my gas bill
