Yesterday, I realized how much of an addict I am. Help me.
After reaching 1,000 posts in about a month's time, I realized I spend way too much time on my computer.
But I can't tear myself away from DU. You guys are too funny.
My eyes are straining, my back is cramped and my friends thought I was kidnapped and reported me missing.
What can I do?

1. Get up,
turn off the computer and go outside for a walk, get some fresh air, see some real live people. Then, do a load of laundry, call a friend and have a slice of cheesecake. I love cheesecake but can't eat it. Please, go have some for me.

5. Laptop, but...oh, forget it. Just get
Chocolate or plain with chocolate swirls...or just plain, or blueberry. Couldja get a few slices and then describe the experience?

What about the laundry? The phone call to a friend?

10. I'm one of those guys who wears shorts in the winter
And I have plenty of them so I can go a long time without washing clothes.

12. Surely your underwear need attention...
towels, bed linens...? But, that's too personal, puleeeze don't tell me about them.

Just don't forget the damned CHEESECAKE, dude! :bounce:

13. WHAT winter?!?! You live in Miami! The worst that could happen is
it's only 72 degrees outside! ;)

(Just kidding, I do know you get the occasional cold snap)

3. I'm in the same boat
I have no advice --- I left the days when my house was spotless, to being a slob because I'm always on DU. Well, if the president and Rummy can take the "no responsibility attitude" so can I.

8. DU is the last thing I do before bed, the first thing in the morning
WTF it's crazy.
And I still haven't gotten my damn sticker yet, which will force me to go outside and put it on my car so I can drive through republican neighborhoods and taunt freepers.

7. if you use Windbloze
enable JavaScript and ActiveX in IE. Go to Google's advanced search page and type "free porn" in the "exact phrase" field. Then click "search" then click on the first link that comes back. Wait around 60 seconds until all the crappy homepage hi-jacks etc have infected your computer. It'll never work properly after that so you won't be able to get onto the DU. If someone buys you a new 'puter repeat the process just described. If someone gives you a 'puter that runs off Linux this advice won't work nearly as well...it's only Windoze that is designed to help people fuck up their computers when surfing dodgy pr0n sites.

Now am I a genius or not? Should I set up as a counsellor?
