Suffering from internet addiction issues here, I've sent a message to Michelle asking them to ban me. You're all very interesting people, and that's the problem, you're [b]too[/b] interesting, and so I've been wasting too much time here. I think anything above 30-45 minutes a day for an ambitious person in his mid twenties is excessive, and between babble and several other sites I'm way north of that, at around a few hours. It then takes a significant fraction of my thoughts when I'm not at the computer.
I woke up in the middle of the night last night because my roommate forgot to turn off his alarm clock before going on vacation. Being in deep sleep, I remembered my dreams. I wasn't dreaming about sex, or about games, or the day's social events. I was arguing about climate change [img]eek.gif" border="0[/img] [img]eek.gif" border="0[/img] . I guess internet addiction is not so bad... I could be addicted to alcohol or gambling.
And today's parting trivia question to the community is the following:
I was previously banned a few years back using the same name I use to post on FD (I was a VERY conservative teenager as opposed to a moderate dude in his twenties like now and stayed there out of habit and appreciation of some of the posters). What's my alternate ID? I'm curious if anyone figured it out.
Don't bother sending me PMs as I won't be able to read them. It's david.nataf@gmail and will be for the next few years.

At least, you weren't alone... My most recent nightmare had me fiddling with a dysfunctional hyperlink! They don't call it "the net" for naught... We need a 12-step group! But are we "entirely ready to have God remove all our disc drives?"

So you're taking the 'cold turkey' approach to deal with your addiction? Good luck with that, honestly.

Last night I dream that we had mutated a mould spoor and incorporated it in to human DNA and in a 'survival of the fittest' test we lumped all the subjects together in mental hospital type cells but while they slept the subjects grew tentacles which could phase though solid walls and kill the person in the room next to them...........

May your dreams soon turn to visions of non-normative beauty with the gender you prefer and you hoisting the cup after completing the decisive, winning play for your favourite sports team in the final.
We don't always see eye to eye (say, on Thierry Henry) but your heart is good and we'll hear from you again when you just can't stomach another day of life without reading three threads and 233 posts on who would be the best NDP candidate for Etobicoke.

I have a dairy allergy, I gave up chocolate 4 years ago upon diagnosis. I did find a chocolate without dairy, but my supply has dried up.
I'm a "dreamer" always have been. The problem is I'm a thinker and my brain doesn't shut off when I got to sleep, it just reorganizes thoughts.
Last week my first dream was about aliens and thier children on planet earth, the second dream was about me starting a new United Way branch in North Bay (they don't have one) the third one wrapped it all together as I worked with the aliens to fund an alien day care in North Bay....

In your 4th dream, I predict you will discuss Religion and Diversity at our Day Care Center with \*$+96?%, a multiple personnality poly-gendered parent from Planet X who will try to tell you Ritalin destroyed her previous civilization.

500_Apples, I totally missed this thread at the time. I would have signed on to wish you well in your ventures and in your cold-turkey approach. I'm pleased to see, however, that your turkey has [url=http://www.rabble.ca/babble/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic&f=11&t=001947]w... up a bit[/url] - even if you did just return with a "lonely hearts" request.
Hope your grad studies bring you fulfillment and enable you to be of use to humanity.
