Flouncing until at least June

[tabouleh]

Right that's it. I have to have a break from MN. I need to record it here for my own willpower.

It is too addictive for me.

It is mainly lurking and not so much posting.

It and other internet sites are getting in the way of RL for me.

They are aiding my procrastination and I am totally totally "stuck" where are am at the moment in RL.

I never thought I would say this but: "I need more Telly in my life!" (This from someone who had no TV for 3 years). TV would be more relaxing for me I think.

I am not going to look at MN until 1 June.
I am also going to limit my other internet usage to remove "surfing".
I will note down what I have used the internet for - eg online banking etc and will use a timer to ensure that I do not linger.

You are a great community. I hope I can join back in again after a break with some sensible boundaries in place. .

Am I allowed to reply to a 'message of flouncing'?? I am not expecting you to reply Taboleh!!

Just wanted to say hope you find you can get unstuck soon, and come back when you are ready.

I was really interested to read your post- given that I had just started a post in chat asking if anyone thought their use of MN might not be healthy (beginning to suspect this of myself).

Take care, good luck....
