How Many Times Do You Hear "You're Online Too Much!" ? |
|
I hate when my mother tells it to me, I don't know why, but its one of the few things she can say that sends me through the roof.
It's like, what the fuck business is it of hers if I am online, nosy bitch.

1. Hubby says I'm addicted... |

4. Not much, fortunately. |
|
Mr. Nownow and I are both computer geeks, we both spent an immense amount of time online. It would be the pot calling the kettle black, though he could possibly give me grief about spending so much time on one site when he spends his evenings jumping from liberal blog to liberal blog.

6. Back when we only had one computer it was an issue |
|
but now that we have three working computers on DSL and all networked, he can't really gripe. He loves to download music and would do it all day if he could.

9. Of course, those who say that often spend hours a day in front of a TV |
|
Why is it some people think going online for hours is bizarre or worrisome, but sitting in front of the TV watching mind-sucking programming for hours is normal, healthy behavior? :wtf:

10. "you shouldn't be online more than 3hrs a day" |
|
I hate the reports that say that! for the uneducated totally tech-illiterate people like my mother, they hear that and think everyone else in the world is online for an hour a day and YOU'RE in the wrong for being on more than that. grr lol

14. Watch out for "Internet addiction" |
|
""you shouldn't be online more than 3hrs a day""
A psychologist in our hometown is now specializing in "Internet addiction". She claims that anyone on line more than ten minutes a day is "addicted", and needs therapy for that addiction.
I think it's a great excuse to separate people from their cash.

12. Does anyone remember.... |
|
their husband complaining ..."I wish you weren't always wanting to go somewhere ... out to eat, movies, visiting, etc" in addition to "you're always talking". Now that you spend your spare time quietly surfing, you hear ... "you're always on that computer".
