“Set O Lord, … a door of enclosure round about my keyboard ….”
A friend sent me this. I realize reading it here is sort of like a TV commercial telling you to dump the Boob Tube. But, some of these may apply …
Internet Addict 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 tomorrow!
