Yes, I do. Since I have so much spare time right now, I've been refreshing the WP forums for the past, um, 4 hours.

Well, maybe my assumption will top yours. I was thinking of RepHresh vaginal gel. But let's not go there.

The most addicting behaviors come from variable reward schedules, when you never know when you'll get the reward. That's why gambling is so addicting. Lately, I find myself checking my inbox constantly because I always want a new e-mail. Even when I'm busy, 90% of my work requires me to sit in front of a computer screen, so I always check e-mail.
