Somebody spent A LOT of time making this because they were bored.

LOL, that wasn't my point.
I was thinking maybe I spend a little too much time here. LOL

My point was to put a smile on your face, so even if you are right about ‘our’ addiction, at least it’s a fun addiction.

P.S. I thought you were referring to my threads and posts, and I thought “DANG”, How the heck did I put up 256 threads!

I just got time to check my Account, to see if it was true, and of course, it wasn’t.

My counts were

“You’ve posted a total of 17 threads and 21,717 replies.”

Man, do I feel better!~

: )

12-Step Internet Recovery Program

1. I will have a cup of coffee in the morning and read my newspaper like I used to, before the Internet.
2. I will eat breakfast with a knife and fork and not with one hand typing.
3. I will get dressed before noon.
4. I will make an attempt to clean the house, wash clothes, and plan dinner before even thinking of the Internet.
5. I will sit down and write a letter to those unfortunate few friends and family that are Internet-deprived.
6. I will call someone on the phone who I cannot contact via the Internet.
7. I will read a book… if I still remember how.
8. I will listen to those around me and their needs and stop telling them to turn the TV down so I can hear the music on the Internet.
9. I will not be tempted during TV commercials to check for email.
10. I will try and get out of the house at least once a week, if it is necessary or not.
11. I will remember that my bank is not forgiving if I forget to balance my checkbook because I was too busy on the Internet.
12. Last, but not least, I will remember that I must go to bed sometime… and the Internet will always be there tomrrow!
