Ever completely unplugged from the internet? If so, how long? |

at the family cabin in the Boundary Waters. No phone, no road.
It's very peaceful, actually.

I had a pal unplug because he was spending too much time on it.

5. Dunno, I'm considering it. |
|
Really need to be pinching pennies these days, and it'd be kind of an interesting experiment.

6. A couple years, actually. |
|
We were on it too much, so we got rid of it.
But then we began losing friends who only emailed, and then business contacts... so we got it back.
Fricking thing is like crack, though.

9. For almost 2 days a while ago |
|
I started shaking and getting cold sweats. Now I'm on a low dosage - just enough to keep me functional without overdosing.

12. For a week every year |
|
for family vacation and weekends on the farm. I start missing email, then I miss the boards, then the whole family is ready for me to get my internet and Mr Gaia figures out how to connect with his cell phone for a few minutes.

13. Made a point of taking a vacation this summer |
|
And only checking my business e-mail while we were out. That was three weeks total. To be honest, I didn't want to be on the computer at all, but being self-employed has its drawbacks.
