Sometimes I resent how many hours I spend glued to this screen. And so far I haven’t even given in to Facebook or Twitter. But I do like the looks of that recipe. The food here always makes it worth the trip…

One of your tormentors from high school now lives in the house you grew up in? What the hell is that about??? Craziness, I say.

I have looked at the pictures! It is nuts.

I completely feel your pain, Lem. Have maintained my sanity only by severely restricting what I look at on FB – basically just my inbox. Twitter is my drug – trying to limit it by only being able to access it on my laptop rather than also on my phone. Not entirely successful.

Re: the recipe – YUM!!!

I’m not convinced the internet and its associated tools/platforms bear any real culpability here except for the binary nature in which it can represent things in our lives that are fluid or exist on a sort of sliding scale. People are on your page or not, linked to or not. All-or-nothing type deals. In real life, our friends, neighbors, family, associates, etc. exist in all sorts of different orbits and degrees of intimacy.

Generally speaking, I think most of us could stand to spend less time worrying about keeping up our virtual appearances and more time handling the events and people in our lives that are truly significant and resonant, but maybe that’s just me.

This is a really thoughtful response which captures a lot of things I mull over. I do share a lot, but there are some lines I do not cross and certain elements of my life I am not willing to open up for public consumption. I never mention men I am dating or fights with friends or….xyz. Fine if other people want ot do it, but not for me. I agree–we should focus on people and events in our lives and work on maintaining those bonds.

Just unfriend them and send them an uninvite to gchat. Seriously. Adult means that you don’t allow people who hurt you back into your life.

I think you are right, k8.

I only use the Internet to look at “questionable” pictures.

I mean cats.

Oh, I am in it for the pictures. For sure.

I am more evil than you. I don’t only block them, but I erase their name from my contacts on g-chat. Now they can’t even see my dot. Ha! Seriously, right now I have no work to do, so I am at the office just to keep my chair warm. Internet is saving me from complete insanity. Parents on FB are the worst. My mom writes her status as messages directed to me, and asks about everything I write with a “WHAT HAPPENED, ARE YOU DYING?” tone…

I work a compressed schedule, so yeah, the internet is also my salvation on some of these long days.
