I know the human being and the fish can coexist peacefully

1. I will have actual chats with my spouse like I used to do.
   
2. I will eat with a knife and fork, not with one hand typing and scrolling.
3. I will read that stack of library books I keep renewing.
4. I will wash my clothes instead of looking for my cleanest dirty shirt.
   
5. I will write letters to those unfortunate few friends who are web-deprived.
6. I will call someone on the phone whom I cannot contact via email.
7. I will go back to my exercise regimen--or at least spend less time on my....chair.
   
8. I will not apologize if I miss posting the blog for a day or two.
   
9. I will not use TV commercials to check for email.
10. I will get out of the house at least once a week, whether it is necessary or not.
11. I will pay my bills;  creditors won't accept my “I was too busy on the internet” excuse.
12. I will remember that I must go to bed sometime… the computer will always be there tomorrow!

I never thought of my computer as an addiction until I noticed recently how much my exercising has dropped off.  And I spend much less time with family.  But I really think family is overrated.
