So a propos - Are you an Internet Addict?
Take the quiz:

http://www.quizarama.com/internetaddict.php

Me:

Congratulations, You are 94% addicted to the internet

"Your addicted. Do you even remember what day it is? Have no fear, help is not too far away. See those curtains over there, if you open them you will see a real world outside. You should plan to start going outside every day. Take it slow at first. Start with 5 minutes a day and then build up gradually until you no longer have to order all your groceries online."


Pretty accurate. My landlord once asked me to come outside with him... he pointed up into the sky. "Do you see that, Khash? That is called the sun." And I do order my groceries on line.....

Khash.

6. Sure thang
check out Peapod. Order your groceries and they deliver. And last time I checked my bill (a while ago admittedly) they charged six bucks for the service. You really can't beat that.

Khash.

5. 56% addicted for yours truly!
You are addicted to the Internet but there is still hope for you. Before you start on the hard stuff like the IM chat sessions, we recommend you cut back your usage. Start cooking meals again and place a limit on the number of buddies in your IM list and recovery will be closer."


Too late for the IM sessions...already BTDT...

And who in HELL says I want to recover? NOT ME!

:evilgrin:

...they don't know me very well...

then again, I skipped one question 'cause none of the answers made any sense. :)

Not too bad given some of the questions - thank goodness they didn't ask about D.U.
