Tubenet addiction

Post by MaryAnn »

Interesting. I still like to visit occasionally, but I am no longer addicted.

More like a diversion, from my day job (and sometimes night job) as an IT/cubicle slave.
But, I DO get to practice in the closet many days after work! :tuba:

During school vacations (like now) I log on quite a bit. Otherwise, once in the morning and once in the evening usually does it.

I have wondered why there were posts that only said "a few in a row".

I thought that it might be some secret code.

Now I know that it's only Wade "gitten 'er done"!

I check in about once a day to see if there's anything interesting.

Oh well, better luck tomorrow. :lol:

Still fairly new here, but have other fora I visit fairly regularly. Not an "addict" really, just check in about once a day, either at my music store or in the evening at home.

I don't think I am addicted to TubeNet as I used to be. A couple years ago, I would almost check by the hour, but now look in once, or twice a day.

The reasons for the change are partly I now feel I have the tubas for me, so don't feel I so need advice/inspiration, but mainly because I am now happily married. Before, I now realise I visited here so frequently because I was lonely and I came for the social interaction. Although the social is still a factor as I have made a number of good friends through TubeNet.

I am still addicted, but not as much as I used to be. I used to read every post...now, I only read the ones that interest me. I do come here several times a day, but usually for less than a minute each time.

I go in fits and starts. Usually check once a day, but sometimes more, and occasionally miss a few days. Still enjoy reading most of the posts, though.

I look in most every day.
I try to only post when I have something useful to add.
I count many tubenetters as friends.

I used to be on TubeNet many times during a day. As of late I have tapered off quite a bit. The tuba passion is still their, but I get caught up in other things. As I start playing and practicing more, I may drop in on TubeNet more.

I'm addicted because I'm looking for that 120000 dollar a year tuba playing job mentioned on that Yama-York thread which talked about the 35000 invitation only Tuba. I have my yard chair and sit at the mail box all day waiting for my invitation( with my lap top of course).

You need to find the offer on eBay for the 'subliminal learning' CD for tuba. You turn the CD on, go to sleep and, after doing this for a few months, you sound like a young Arnold Jacobs.

Sure wish it worked...
