Here it is Christmas morning.....and how screwed up I must be! What do you think is just about the first thing I do? You guessed it. Come into the computer to see what is new....what is what...who is well, dead, waiting, anxious, mad, grieving, overjoyed, perplexed, nervous, pissed-off.....or maybe just got a 'new safari' from Santa. Now, I do not post here all that much....but this damn site has become part of my daily ritual to the point that I landed here before I have even checked to see what Santa has brought. How sick is this? I think I need an intervention! How do you break this addiction? EVEN MY 6 YEAR OLD GRANDAUGHTER WILL ASK ME sometime this morning....Grandpa, what's going on in Zimbabwe? When are we going back? We went to church last night....Christmas eve service....I think I prayed for the wrong thing! I need some relief. By the way....Merry Christmas All. You bunch of Afro-sicko's. You're on this frickin' site to....aren't you.

You're not screwed up at all, that is, unless I am too.

I waited until the presents were opened. My wife is checking out her new camera and my son is on his new PSP. Merry Christmas all,
Bryan

Well, I did wait a while longer but I know how you feel!

Good to see you here! Best Wishes for this Holiday Season!

Les

I hear ya.

That like girl is spot on...

Mike

At least we opened presents first. Merry Christmas everyone!

Ha ha ha !! here's one more for the loony bin,can't wait to go back to Africa !!

Me too!!!

Merry Christmas, D. Nelson

Well, I'm glad I'm not the only one who does
this!

Sometimes I worry about myself and this addiction.

But it looks like I'm in GOOD company!

Have a great one everybody!

Cheers, Allen

My name is Terry and I'm an Africa addict.
At least I am in good company.
I hope your Christmas was as good as mine. It's great to have grangchildren.

My son asked if all I ever did was look at this site. This is probably only the third time I have looked at it today. Merry Christmas to all.

Plan on busting some ducks with my son and son-in-law tomorrow.

PRAISE GOD......I am not Nuckin' Futs alone. I shall have company on the Behavioral Health floor.

Well, I at least waited until after Christmas dinner

I'm on call at the hospital this weekend. Here in rural SD, travel is impossible with the storm, so here I am. My wife and I had Christmas dinner on Wednsday, since we knew it was coming.
I'm glad to have my fellow addicts for company. Merry Christmas to all, and to all, a good night.

This is my first post on the forum. I can,t think of a better day to start out. I've been a casual onlooker to this sight for a while, but since I'm retiring next week, I should be able to give it more time. I haven't been to Africa as many times as some of you guys, but I,ve had my share of good times there. I,m looking forward to many more hunts there in the future. Anyway, Merry Christmas to all and Happy New Year.

Hollis, enjoy retirement! This site will help, I'm sure...allowing you the time to hook up with fellow 12-step members being treated for such maladies as the dreaded Double-Rifle syndrome, "Big-Bore"itis, African homesickness, and riflemania. We may not get well, but we'll sure have fun being sick!

I retired at 55 2 years ago, and feel I've lived a lifetime in the short time since.

I'm doomed. I just got a Blackberry for Xmas and the first page I added to the web browser was.....AR!

I feel sorry for you guys! I'm not addicted to this sight because I only have 8594 posts since the server was changed and I had to re-register looseing the 9000 posts I had then. I don't think 17594 posts on AR alone is an addiction really I don't...Um really I don't....realy I don't

Merry Christmas all you nuts!

Hollis I'm on here all the time. Have breakfast with Mike D once in awhile. How can you be retireing. You're not near old enough for that. Welcome to the site.--Everyone this is a good guy.

Gar

Guilty!-- and I throw myself on the mercy of the court!

Happy New Year!

All of this sounds perfectly normal to me. Merry Christmas and a Happy & Safe New Year to all.

I wakeup every day wishing I was in Africa. I go to sleep every night missing the evening sounds in the bush.being on here give me a little relief knowing there are others out there in the same boat as me. ya''ll all have a good new yr. hope to meet you in the bush some day. OR dallas next wk

You are normal

I took my family to YELLOWSTONE the day after Christmas.....so we could enjoy 'Yellowstone in Winter'!!! It was great....Highly Recommend it! However....I've been home less than an hour from lots of Bison, Elk, Moose and -20 degree temp. Where am I.....On this frickin' site again. I haven't even downloaded our Yellowstone pictures yet. Damn it to Hell!

Yeah, here I am at 6:08 AM EST. I need to clean my .458, but I thought I'd drop in here first...Africa has been a huge part of my life for many years. I stay caught up here. Maybe I'll return someday, but until I do, I assuage my addiction on AR.
