Internet Celibacy!

[CJH]

And now for something completely different!

I've just taken 5 weeks off work and have gone from being a full time computer geek (who carries his laptop to the football for God's sake) to being Mr. Low Tech!

For the past 5 weeks I have not switched on a computer, let alone gone onto the internet. (OK, traipsing around Tassie for a few weeks did make it harder to be near a computer). I even left my mobile phone switched off for all that time as well.

The change it has made is amazing (I guess you are going to have to take my word for this) but I feel different withing myself and this has also been noted by other people like the missus and some of my friends.

In terms of therapy, this is certainly something that I can recommend.

Great to have you back CJH - hope your break was refreshing and has given you enough inner peace to suffer through yet another heart breaking Richmond season

You heathen! If I had the opportunity to see the mighty Tigers play at the MCG I would be rapt, not sticking my nose into a lap top!

BTW, you don't know what it's all about until an ice storm takes away your electricity, telephone & you cannot remember where you left your pager and watch.

From there, you have absolutely NO CHOICE but to sit around and have a few beers. Peace,

Mooster

BTW DCFC,

Did the Hawks finish above 3rd place this year? I seem to remember the heartbreak ladder reading:

1) Brisbane
2) Essendon
3) Richmond
4) Who cares who came after......


With these computer problems, however, it is hard to be sure.

Peace, Mooster

The ladder I saw went:

1 - Brisbane
2 - that's about all that matters.

Who's going to win tomorrow?

 

[Mooster7]

Fair enough Danny.

However, I was only being polite. The REAL ladder should read:

1) Doesn't matter
2) Doesn't matter
3) Richmond
4) Doesn't matter



Peace, Mooster

Pfft, well I DON'T recommend it!! Since Christmas Day, when a virus shut down our comp, the computer has made three trips to the computer fixing place. It is currently on it's third trip. The first and second time it came back, the net hasn't worked, so now we're waiting for it to come back. So I haven't had the net at home since Xmas and have had to go to friend's houses and public internet places! Not good. My post count is getting worse and worse, just when I was starting to get it to go up....
