Addictions

It’s been pointed out to me recently that the word “addiction” should never be used in a light manner in describing those who play “the game” beyond normal, reasonable limits.  Addictions should never be used in the way in which I use it in this site.  Alluding to the fact that I no longer see my husband when he’s playing “the game” by calling him my “dearly departed” was extremely insensitive.  Therefore, I’m changing the terminology that I’ll be using from this point forward – after all, I must try to be a little more sensitive to my readers.

I will no longer refer to “the game” as his “addiction” it’s now going to be called “candy”.

While I don’t want to be insensitive to those who are “chocoholics”, have an insatiable “sweet tooth”, or for those “car nuts” out there,  I do feel the need to be a little more sensitive to those who have an equally serious but not fatal disease which leaves them with the inability to recognize humor in any circumstance - “stickumus upus the buttomus”.

Also, I’ll be including a sticky post with definitions and descriptions to the terms I’ll use through out this site – lest not to offend those who don’t take the time to read the carefully worded disclaimers, or who don’t have the common sense to realize that this blog is in jest – my own way of coping with my husband’s frequent and overuse of “the game”.

Thank you to those who read, enjoy and sympathize with the Widows of Warcraft.  And for everyone else, who doesn’t enjoy this site – I apologize for your inability to take a joke aimed at your precious “game”.  If you really aren’t as immersed in this game as you say you are not – then how did you find this site?  Searching for Candy on the internet again?

Really.
