dose anyone else have this problem?

ok i have known i have this issue for a while, and im just curious as to who else has it.

how many of you CANNOT resist clicking on a bold linked thread that you havent read, just to make the bold-unreadness go away? i could have no interest in the content (for example, and thread made by april) but i'll still click, just to get the satisfaction of going thru the thread, and getting that link to be unbold. heck on REALLY boring threads, ;like someone elses wheel photoshop thread i sometimes just open, glance at pix and leave. there are some i just open and hit the back button.

am i insane? well yes, i knew that, but is anyone else?????



i dont want to be the only crazy goose in the bucket

no its not. i dont care to read some threads at all. what do i care about, say, those little plastic clips on some hose under the hood of an 05 (not meant as flame or hate here), but i just want the bold to go away so i can feel accomplished


aand i forgot to mention the worst part:

once theres no new posts for me, i get angry and bored lol. ahhh TMS, what a mystery she is, yet, she is amazing *twinkle*

EDIT: and i do have the necklace now. i had forgot it at hoome this morning

Arin, Forum tools (top right) and then "Mark Forum Read".

Works for me!

and yes they still have flea markets. i love em. you can always find some really cool old stuff. my friend got himself a WWII british pith helmet lol. i dont like the people who buy stuff in bul and then come to sell it, what i like is the vintage stuff that no one wants.

I LOVE flea markets (we call them swap meets here)
They are freaking awesome!
You can always find something every weekend that catches your eye
