I am NOT an addict! I only dropped in for a couple of hours.
Eight years ago.
To: verum ago
Well lets see, I spend eight hours each day online at work. Then I come home and spend another two or three hours online. On the weekends I spend several more hours online. Our forebears got along just fine without the internet, cell phones, laptops, blackberries, indoor plumbing, central heating/airconditioning etc.

In all seriousness...I do not watch television, and I do not read papers. I get my news and entertainment from the Internet.
I just cannot stomach the pap on television. My wife and I were in a hotel over the weekend, so I took the time to watch television...(we do not have cable at home)
90+ channels, and only TWO channels had anything worth watching (Okay...I will admit, I did hover a while on the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleader audition thingie...)
The Animal Channel and The Discovery Channel. The rest was simply unwatchable.

I just told my husband he is my enabler. He replaced my old cellphone with a Motorola Q...its little and kinda like a flask for an alcoholic (not that I couldn't just use it as a phone only...because I could...its just a shame to waste the technology).

I actually turned my PC completely off 3 nights ago. Tom! You can't leave us on the ledge like that. Did the shakes set in? Were you able to sleep? WHAT HAPPENED NEXT?
