Now I can silence my kids who say I spent too much time on the internet.

“Internet use ‘good for the brain’” — but often bad for the blood pressure.

Right....an internet picture:

Web use stimulates much more activity in the same brain

Areas activated by reading a book in the brain of an experienced web user

I’ve been telling everyone all along that surfing porn was good for something.

Medication can handle the Blood Pressure...I can recommend some .....prescriptions however.

It’s a curse and a blessing ..

btw,, I was just doing “research” on Rum, keying on the word ‘RICO’ as in what one goes best with FRied ACORN. :-)

Nice call, Nork.

[SierraWasp]

Brisk walks are even more good. I call mine “The Brain Hike!” Mrs. Wasp says productive work on my part is most helpful to her brain!!!

Oh brother! That one was so good I charged it to my MasterCard, cause it was PRICELESS!!!

[USFRIENDINVICTORIA]

Thanks — avoidance of some sites seems to be the best answer. A visit to FR is often prescribed.

[AuntB]

Say what? Are you telling me I would be even more forgetful if I wasn’t using this thing???

[DemonDeac]

Depends on which sites.

No wonder why I’m the smartest person I know. \s
