Speaking of my ADD... I spent 2 hrs last week closing hundreds of tabs. I had so many open that I just started clicking as fast as I could - it got to the point where I was giving firefox fits because I was forcing too much memory usage at it at once. It would crash from all the closures and then because I'm accursed, it would reload all the tabs I'd worked so hard to close because closing them caused the crash which caused it to recover them. I thought I was legit gonna lose my mind.

And the 347 currently installed Skryim Anniversary mods are not further proof of my problem.

Why, how? Well, imagine going to a wiki article and not just reading the article but clicking every listed link and footnote within the article (at least the ones that interest you) because you want to know all about a given topic. Since you're gonna get back to those after reading all the main article, you just have those tabs open. Now you finish and go to the next wiki and do the same thing. At some point, you've gotta check VN and a couple of other sites you visit everyday and at VN you pick up 5 more articles you intend to read. Now someone else sends you something to look at and then you're interrupted. It can get out of hand quickly.

This last time, was more of a one off. 100 tabs I might be guilty of stockpiling but the number I had accrued this time was insane even for me.

I cant do that. The most I ever have open at one time is like 3, then if i want something else I just close one of the others. Its usually two streams of some sort and then whatever website im reading.

Thank you, you just reminded me to close my tabs. I CAN claim old woman syndrome.

LOL. After the hell of closing that one session, I'm determined to be more careful about the numbers I keep open. At least for a while. Though I'm not sure I'm old enough to claim old woman syndrome it sounds like an excuse to try next time OH gives me grief lol.

I wish I had your discipline on that. I just end up opening so much stuff doing various things. And some times there's a more legit reason to have a lot of tabs open but a lot of times it's just me keeping something up in a tab to come back to later and not always doing any tab closing when I'm through with something.

Nice… how long have you been donating before you got that? I’m only on my first month but I’d imagine you’d have to be in month 6 or more.

I signed up not that long ago and did the lump sum annual payment. But they emailed me a week or so ago saying I didn’t provide my shirt size and mailing address. So I’m assuming if you do that when you sign up, like they tell you to, it comes fairly quick.

Only thing that sucks is I already own this shirt. I got one for me and my 14 year old son when they were first offered by DW.
