Vanity: 1 week cold turkey from FreeRepublic

"Ah feel your pain"

I underwent the same test thanks to a metatarsal bone breaking in my foot
a couple of weeks ago. The broken bone will heal...but the pain of a week without FreeRepublic...
now that's true "pain and suffering"!

Be sure and get a long telephone cord for your modem to be able to reach into the bathroom.

Live long and FReep.

I tried to cold turkey last week. It is tough! Now I'm back to lifting steaks out of the grocery freezer to raise money to feed this freeping monkey on my back.

I can quit anytime I want to, really, I can, Just watch me I'll be off in just a minute. Hey, I don't really post all that much... just lurk mainly, but I can quit ANY time. Really, really I can.......................

O.K., O.K. somebody tell me how to open two windows. Not that I really need to have two windows, but one should know as much as possible about one's computer. I don't know about all you people who think you have to access FR every day. Now, I wouldn't have to be here every day if I were not obligated to post "Words of Wisdom" at the USO Canteen Freeper Style. It's a difficult job, but somebody has to do it. The rest of you are free to go anytime. I'm committed.

Well I made it through the week but it was hard. My fingers kept wanting to type in www.freerepublic.com...

I'd like to thank all who responded with good-natured ribbing and helpful hints. Special thanks for the links to previous threads on the same topic.

Being self-employed, like some other posters on this thread, makes it difficult to curb the craving. I don't regret all the time I spent during the past months but bills need to be paid too!

I missed the virtual company of this online community of clear thinkers. But I used the extra time to go on longer walks with the dog and enjoyed the exercise.

I believe that one reason many come here and spend so much time reading and discussing is that we feel out of place among friends and acquaintances in the broader society. This is especially true when you live in a more or less socialist, appeasement-minded community, as I do here in Germany now and when I lived in Cambridge, MA.

The solution can only be for Freepers to pool their funds, build a spaceship and emigrate to a brave new world. Recent discoveries of water on Mars make the red planet the most attractive candidate.

Beam me up, Scot-toc.
