Growing concern over Internet addiction

Yeah...this has been a growing problem ever since the MSM started losing its self-imposed jurisdiction over your thoughts.

CNN: Warning -- Internet hazardous to your health, marriage, happiness, and our efforts to dominate your psyche.

Yeah, yeah. How addicted is this? I'm sitting in the basement of a house on a lake in Northern Idaho with an incredible thunderstorm overhead. The power's off but I have a UPS and before I light the candles I'm gonna post this.

That's bad, babe, that's bad.

I had to delete freecell. I'm not nearly as drawn to regular solitary because the feedback is not as quick and you don't win nearly as often.

" FreeCell is. "

You need to get past that.

I used to be called "Pac-Man" by my friends.

I use the internet only on Friday and Saturday (unless I'm sick). Work, family, human contact come first now.

Like all addictions, it was very hard to break. I demanded my wife hide the access to the stuff then I found myself searching all over for it. But that desire past after about a week. First week is the hardest.

Today, I'm better and more productive.

Oh! Do you think this was alame attempt at discrediting the FR and numerous conservative BLOGS.?

I tried watching CNN tonight. What was on Paula Zahn; another
boring story. This about a polygamist wanted for something.

Nothing mentioned concerning the fight over illegal immigration. No, must be an insignificant issue.

Does Ted Turner still control this clap-trap rag?

I'm surprised the article DIDN'T mention surfing the internet on company time. Which is what I'm doing now.

Uh, gotta go...
