Oh for Christ'sssssssSake! Is Fluther my friend?

Asked by RealEyesRealizeRealLies (30951points) November 26th, 2010

I found myself checking fluther while out at the bar with old out of town friends. We had a great time… but I still checked in on fluther.

Why? Why was I hanging out with my friends and fluther IF fluther was not my friend?

i hate you fluther

Because Fluther is a pleasurable addiction :)))

Fluther may not be your friend, but many of the people on Fluther probably are! Plus, yeah, it’s addictive.

ucme's avatar

Sounds more like she’s your missssstresssss! In common with others of that ilk she seems to be checking up on you. What a floozy!

Still beats the hell out of Black Friday shopping!

Oh dear what has been going on
while from fluther I have been gone.
Have I missed a party
or a question that needed my smarty.
It won’t hurt to take a moment just to see
what’s been happening and to what degree.
Another humble attempt at poetry??

Am I to understand you are drunk dialing Dr. J?

They put something in the Kool-Aid.

@mama_cakes Don’t we all?

@janbb so true! I’m just as bad!

@janbb Not the Koolade, they put something in the guacamole.

I like to look at it this way. Fluther is my elderly neighbor/relative that needs to be checked in on. I come in, sit and chat for a little bit, then leave. Sometimes I’ll spend the entire day, if needed, and will always drop off a pie on the holidays.

This makes me feel better about why I visit, and I don’t need to worry if I’m addicted. ;)

^^ GA!

janbb's avatar

@jonsblond You are a good soul!

filmfann's avatar

@jonsblond so where’s the damn pie?

seazen's avatar

Do I consider fluther more of a friend or an addiction? Like my underwear: it depends.

iamthemob's avatar

I would say it can be both, @seazen – codependency is using your friendships much like a drug.

Fluther can easily fir this bill. ;-)

iamthemob's avatar

FIT bill not FIR bill.

friggin typo…

Berserker's avatar

@seazen That’s pretty creepy. XD

When I’m not home I don’t think about Fluther. This is only something I do when I’m home because I live in a rural area. I most likely will not be caught using an iphone or something similar to check Fluther when I’m not at home.

Mistress. I’m in the mistress school. I’m always trying to sneak a few minutes with fluther.

Blueroses's avatar

Boy. I haven’t checked fluther on the road yet but it has made an appearance in my dreams twice, including last night. I don’t remember the exact circumstance but I was talking to a “real” person in my dream and suddenly I was looking at a fluther thread response dealing with the situation (including a wundayatta paragraph with 13 GAs)

Hello, my name is Blueroses and I am an addict.

YARNLADY's avatar

You can say that again.

@mama_cakes No thanks, I had one of those once and I didn’t like it.

GracieT's avatar

@blueroses, I think that if Fluther is a 12 step group I’d have a problem. In most 12 step groups you are trying to break an addiction, not ecourage it! Anyway, GA!

ETpro's avatar

@RealEyesRealizeRealLies When I figure out the addiction, I will break it—then come right back here and tell you how its done. :-)

Deja_vu's avatar

Yes, Fluther is your friend.

lillycoyote's avatar

@RealEyesRealizeRealLies You were checking fluther while you were actually out at a bar with real flesh and blood humans; while you were out hanging with old friends and having a good time? Right there, at the bar, while they were there with you? That’s bad man, that is really bad. Get a grip, my friend. Fluther is a great thing but it has it’s place and time and in my opinion, that was not it.

RealEyesRealizeRealLies's avatar

were it not for checking fluther whilst at cbgbeeeassss, iwould not have received ur kind my friend.

wilma's avatar

Fluther is my boyfriend.

Jayy's avatar

Who needs friends when you have fluther?

erichw1504's avatar

If you don’t check Fluther, Dr. J will come after you.

lazydaisy's avatar

No doubt you were just checking to see if I was going to meet up with you at cbgbeeeeeeees. You had to check, man

We could have totally missed each other if you hadn’t checked.

right?

RealEyesRealizeRealLies's avatar

missed u there… but we’re hookin up now at taco bell drive thru… yes they still wanna know how I’m doin before taking my order. Fluthr never asks. TB must be my friend too.

get you anything?

RealEyesRealizeRealLies's avatar

take that back… they forgot my fire sauce.

WillWorkForChocolate's avatar

It’s because Fluther drank your milkshake and it formed a special bond.

PoppingBoner's avatar

Not your “friend”. There are no friends on the internet. Just time borrowed.

You are filling a void in your life. You landed upon this particular shore of modern day. Helping to suppress some insecurity you have not overcome.
Hopefully and eventually you will get over it.

Some don’t, some can’t. And, some won’t.
