There is Usenet, and there is Real Life.

Sometimes I am stupid and ignore Joel and/or tell the Yowlet to go away
and/or push a kitty away because I am typing a Very Important Post to here
(or elsewhere on usenet) and don't want to be interrupted. By doing so, I am
implying that usenet is more important in my life that Joel, Cary, or the
cats.

Its not.

So, this is my challenge.

Go 24 hours without Usenet. Instead, hug your partner. Scritch a kitty.
Ring your parents / siblings / kids and tell them that you love them.
Write - with pen and paper - a letter to a dear friend rather than dropping
them an e-mail. Go to church/temple/coven. Do that chore you've been putting
off. Make one of the many recipes you've always promised yoruself you were
going to try. Go to the musem, Volunteer at the shelter. Go to the park and
see the kids run around. Maybe run around yourself and do something daft
like you did as a kid. Blow bubbles, Jump in the puddle, roll down that
grassy hill. Just get out and smell the roses.

Then, when you've had a dose of Reality, have got some perspective on the
*important things* in your life, feel free to come back to usenet. I can
promise you that it hasn't collapsed without your words of wisdom, in fact
I would wager that no-one has really noticed your absence.

I am starting my challenge as of 2:06pm local time.

See you all later, I'm gonna be enjoying meatspace. Care to join me?

Vicky (not Yowie for 24 hours)


Nah, just divide your time between your loved ones, including your
computer
