Now before anyone gets concerned about my health, please dont. What I mean is I have become addicted to playing games on Facebook. I spend far too much time playing games like 'Zoo World' , 'Restaurant City' and 'Treasure Isle'. How sad have I become, this cant be health, LOL, I mean worrying about what time to go back to the game and feed a fish, or water some plants. Am I the only person who does this, or, do alot of members do the same but just dont admit to it. LOL. Have a fun packed day, and keep an eye on the clock.

I know some who are addicted in playing those games in facebook too. In fact my sister when she was on leave to her work and waiting for her 3rd baby's delivery was playing those games in facebook- farmville and so so every night. I have facebook account but never tried playing those games... I think I wont even try and find out what's addictive there for I don't want to be hooked as you and others...

You wont know what you are missing if you dont give them a try. Look at it as an experience. Do enjoy, and have fun...

Hello, It's becoming difficult to juggle between myLot and Facebook games. Just not enough time in the day, LOL, maybe I should get a social life and meet people face to face. Maybe tomorrow , LOL Why did you have to change your password on Facebook, if you dont mind me asking.

Now I understand, smart thinking. I think that would drive me up the wall. Just sign up to Facebook under a new name and start playing again. PS. Dont tell your friend, LOL

Hello, I have heard of the game Farmville on Facebook but I have not played that one yet. I hear people talking about it all the time and most of my friends play it. So I think it's one of the most popular, I am playing Zoo World and Restaurant City at the moment so I dont have enough time to start playing any new games. Happy gaming...

Its a shame, HADDOWZ, to become an addict to games in Facebook. Games at Pogo are much better. Check the site: you´ll get weaned of Facebook.

They have weekly contests, tokens to buy clothes at a fake virtual mini and an avatar to put them on. In this moment, I look like a princess at a ball. For a second I forget about my age, my shoulder and my weight

Hmmm... I'm scared I can't help you on that one. I'm not addicted to games in particular but I'm very addicted to Facebook and Mylot. I can't stop my self from opening my laptop and logging in to my Facebook and Mylot account everyday without miss. I spend average of - 8 hours a day in front of my laptop even if I have work. If it's my rest day I spend almost 18 hours in front of my laptop. Aside from that I'm addicted to online shopping so I also need to go to rehab. Waaaah!

No you are not the only one, I have to feed that stupid dog in Farmville, and dang dont' be late or you lose all the progress you made already. To me the games are somewhat of a challenge. I think they are fun, and like i told my hubby when he ask what did I do today, I harvested my crops, fed my animals, built a city, planted a garden, made sure there was food on the counters in CafeWorld and dug for treasure in Treasure Isle. Long day and I am tired. The game are not the only thing for me it gives me the chance to see relatives that are a 1000 miles away and the pictures they post of the kids. Keeps us in touch, someone in earlier post said write a letter, you know I sit down to do that the other night and actually had to stop and think how it was done, been so long, everyone is into email now.

I thought Farmville and Mafia Wars are the addicting games in Facebook. So there is still other games worth a try.

The list of games keeps on growing almost everyday on Facebook, but I have to admit some are very poor and not worth the time or effort. Happy gaming..

I was like you - I had Petsville and Pet Society and I had panic attacks nearly if I didn't get to 'feed' my pets and 'look after them'. Suddenly I realised just how addictive it was becoming so I have knocked al these games off, just left bowling and scrabble that I play occasionally and I feel liberated!!

... yes but it was all just good fun at the time. If you have the spare time to do it , then why not. I know what you mean about 'panic attacks' , it does become a little too real. But many many people enjoy what they do. Have a striking day and always use a Z letter.
