Yes, you have reached the "terminal" stage of the addiction. That could either mean that you are stuck at your "terminal" (your monitor) with all that you still want to download, or else that you will be downloading new designs until you die (your own termination), even if you are being more picky about which ones. =] Seriously, this is a stage that everyone seems to get to eventually. It shows that you have become more discerning and now know the good stuff from the junk. Congratulations!

Good for you. *4U

Nice to know there are stages. I'm definitely in stage 2 as well. Wonder what stage 3 will be, although cutiepie seems to think there are only 2. Flower for you.

oh my what about the end stage is that where you have to look throught all your cds of designs first b 4 u d/l anymore. i think im stuck in stage 1 still as i dont have a very big collection at atm. :)

Glad to hear there are only two stages...I was afaid stage 2 was going to be short lived and stage 3 would be a stronger version of stage 1, downloading 24/7, no sleep, not eating, just downloading until I withered away into a digital version of myself! What a relief! After all, it really is tough getting any embroidering done when I'm at the computer downloading designs every free moment.

I agree with everybody else, eventually you start to get a little picky. I think I'm moving slowly into stage 3 which in my case means going back and deleting the ones I never should have downloaded in the first place I'll bet I'm not the only one with things she wonder why they ever downloaded. But be careful because i just know that someday I'm gonna say "hmm wonder what I did with that ----" and poof it will be gone. The whole point is having fun and as my dh says "Well honey it keeps you off the streets at night!" not sure what he means but I'm having fun. Flower for your worries.

I've deleted a TON of stuff I've downloaded in the past... and because things are digitized poorly, it has pushed me into wanting to digitize myself. ;-)

Thanks to all and a flower, i'm happy to be at this stage . thanks again and love to all.

Yes I'v reached that stage a while back. In the beginning I saw FREE and downloaded it . Now I have ( a little ) control to pick and choose. Congtrats. A flower for you.

I thought I was sick or something jajaja, but now I know that I am in the stage 2 and starting to delete the junk that I downloaded in the past as Teri said. Flower and XoXo

I have gotten there too I believe. I like how cutiepie said it. Either way, this SADD is terminal. *4U

I am also in stage 2. What forced me there was I am running out of free space on my hard drive. DH is getting me a bigger hard drive. I wonder if I will regress back to stage 1! I hope not because I have enough designs for life!

I am there now, after getting the membership and dl for days I now can say, "O I don't need that one". So count me in on stage 2.

LOL.....think we will all reach stage 2 at some point, actually glad to be there have downloaded way to much. *4U

I'm still asking myself- could I use it SOMEDAY?

I'm glad to hear the responses you got.....I though I was going to have to go to confession at the next S.A.D.D. meeting. ;)
