Not sure videogames can be considered “addictive.”

They’re just a form of escapism that can be taken too far.

The videogames aren’t the problem. Without videogames, these young guys would be immersing themselves in some other form of escapism, locking themselves away, hiding from life.

I was recently encouraged to join ‘procrastinators anonymous’ and so, I played along.

Nobody else showed up!

I also have recently heard of a 12 step program for people who talk too much, and their enablers - it is called ON and ON ANON...

**That nipple thing reminds me just the other day at our Christmas eve home made pizza shindig I walked in on a new woman to our family and friends get together nursing her baby I apologized and shut the door she sent me a friend request on facebook before Christmas morning**

My mother never breast-fed me, she said she liked me as a friend!

When I was born, the Doctor slapped my mother! [I heard the nurse had a few shots at me, too]

Doctor turned me upside down, spun me around, and then he said, “Look! Twins!”

My poor mother, she got morning sickness AFTER I was born!

My dad asked mom if she wanted him to be in the room for my birth. She replied, “Why? You weren’t in the room when he was conceived!”

The doc came to the waiting room and said to my dad, “I am SO sorry. We did everything possible, but he survived anyway!”

A sample from Rodney Dangerfield.

The Dangerfield Tourette syndrome wins again...

I’d love to be left alone on a weekend to even try that stuff.

A weekend just for any peace and quiet is almost impossible to get.

You want to talk about immature reprobate “adults”?
