Internet addiction

The fact that casino gaming tables are set upon urine-soaked carpet is not enough of a clue?
Ignorance is bliss, bliss is happiness, I am happy...to draw your attention to the possible connectivity in the foregoing. - 12 January 2012 14:49146885Help is at nand.
I gather there are online courses to treat internet addiction.
Just avoid Chinese ones:

I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.
------------------------------------------------------------------- - 12 January 2012 17:39146934never tried any internet games, tried a couple of those card games that come installed on the computer, they can get very addictive.

Farmville has been given up but now I've found the challenge of hidden object games.
- 13 January 2012 01:04147039Something must be done! Second hand internet addiction is causing great harm to our chiiiiiiiildren. I say make these addicts surf the internet outside the house and certainly ban it in public buildings.
Oh the horror. For the sake of humanity something must be done. - 13 January 2012 01:51147042I had a problem with the internet, something seriously wrong with the old PC software. I did not know where to turn, but luckily I was able to get a 'patch'.

13 January 2012 09:36147049Penny, I also do the hidden object games and 'match' games but am not keen on games like Farmsville.
I love all six of the 'Granny' games and pay £4.99 a month which gives me access to hundreds of different games on the Wild Tangent site.-----------------------------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------------------------- - 13 January 2012 19:58147142Oh Penny, I'm addicted to Bejewelled blitz too Also Scrabble and bouncing balls (wait for the rude comments
)
Its my way of relaxing, tv doesn't really interest me and can't knit anymore because of arthritis in my hands.
Seriously though, aren't we lucky to have the internet where we can find out virtually anything we want to know. I don't know what we ever did without it.There's always a little truth behind every "Just kidding", a little emotion behind every "I don't care" and a little pain behind every "I'm ok". - 13 January 2012 20:10147145I used to love facebook games but got fed up with them not working , so no internet addiction for me
