Well, if you are, have no fear..the Re-hab is here!! You may or may not have heard about the opening of the rsesidential rehab in Washington, (ironically located real close to Redmond, the HQ of Microsoft!) and if you have an extra 14K lying around, you could go enter the 45 day treatment facility. As of yesterday, they only had one patient whos life has "spun out of control" playing a particular video game and felt strongly enough about his addiction to pay the price fhor "treatment". The woman who runs the place, which was originally constructed to treat internet "sex" addicts (but program never got off the ground) says they are only equipped to handle 6 patients at a time, so best to make your reservations early!! She plans to treat people with some of the following problems, obsessed with facebook, twittering tweeters, video game addicts whos addictions have caused them jobs, their health,their relationships etc etc. people who can't stop texting (although I wasnt aware that this is an internet thing) and the list goes on and on. She says that people "hide" in the internet to escape depression, and that folks who can not deal with people on a day to day basis in the "normal" fashion are also canditates for her program. She has not said if her original "internet sex addiction" treatment will be included due to the fact that her family will live at the center?. I guess that if you are not sure if you are in fact an internet junkie than some of the things to watch out for are: physical changes especially in weight as you might forget to eat with all this on line time, headaches, self explanatory, carpal tunnel syndrome, and pretty much any pathelogical computer useage and time killing activities brought to us through technology..They even tell us documented death caused by blood clots associated with being sedantang..WOW,,,I think that this is all so ridiculous and very humorous, but maybe I'm wrong..I guess that if she can collect 14 thousand per person by convincing us that we are sick, then she gets the last laugh...none of this applies to me but I do have to close now as I have blogging to do, backgammon to play, ptc's to click, facebooking to face youtubeing to tube and 3045 emails to read and reply to..Hope I dont forget to eat and go to bed and worse yet blood clot!!

Yes I am addicted to the internet but I certainly wouldn't go seeking help for it, I don't see it as a bad thing...people say reading books is one of the best things you can do and some people probably spend more time reading than people spend on the internet and I don't see spending time reading and playing on the internet as any different from reading a book...i think you can actually learn more on the the internet, at least I have.

Well I am on Mylot for about nine hours, maybe less, sometimes, depends what I have to do, or where I have to go,I have a cetain amount of discussions, I answer every day, and after I answer that amount, of discussions, I find something else to do, so I guess that leave me out.happythumbup

I did read this article online somewhere and to be honest I thought it was funny. lol I think that I have a problem with the internet myself. I am online a lot throughout the day. I say on a slow day I am on at least 5 hours a day. I have been wondering if I should really take a break from being online but I am addicted! Anyway nice sharing here and take care I am off to post more ! happy

Hey Mom...Maybe I'm in "denial" but I do not think that 5 hours a day is too much. I have to admit that I'm typically on way more than that. I justify it by making money, a job so to speak. I am making a little more money these days. Am having real good luck with reviewstream in particular. They have been buying my stuff at the going rate and its adding up quickly. I really like 4.00 per post and it is very easy. Also selling alot of stuff to work on line. Stories only pay .25 in the beginning and go to .50 later, but if they are offering a topic that you know something about, it goes fast and is fun..Have you tried either of these sites? Joyce

I have heard of reviewstream but have not signed up yet currently. I seem to be signed up with so many sites I cannot keep track! I try to post and work on sites that have paid and put effort where I know I can make something. Mylot has been very good to me and I like to earn here as well as have the conversation without say like myspace would be. lol Take care and please keep in touch so we can learn from each other which to me is what being online is all about! Happy mylotting to you as well. happy
