I’m only responding because I happen to be up this late for other reasons. ;-)

The GIS page for the county I am in is the most addicting thing possible on a computer. I love finding out who owns every inch of property in this area, what’s available, etc. Can’t....stop....

“I’m only responding because I happen to be up this late for other reasons. ;-)”

I’m not at all addicted. It’s a figment of my two sisters’ imagination that I continually send them e-mails of FR articles marked 3:00 a.m. and 4:15 a.m. and 5:00 a.m., and that when they try to call me during the day I am frequently sound asleep. Hmmm, just looked at the clock. It’s 12 midnight. Still early. Miles to go before I sleep with so many articles yet to Freep.

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!
