This is: "my demon." (a bit late this week)
I love the internet, but it's also my downfall. Along with all the good things like inspiration, participation and communication (all the "ions"), it also represents my huge amounts of procrastination, laziness, lots of lost time, and feelings of inferiority. And that dichotomy highlights problems in itself. Ho-hum....
Last week a friend and I talked about sharing the same issue, and seriously considered hiring someone to set up a net-nanny to restrict our daily net-browsing to an hour in the morning and another hour in the evening. We couldn't set it up ourselves as we'd just hack through our own passwords. No we'd need someone else to come and set it up... Sounds like a niche business opportunity to me. Any takers?

Hey Welcome back home!!

Hello!
Apparently it's my downfall, too. I checked out your blog two days ago and was going to tell you how your trip sounded wonderful and how much I loved the photos but instead I went and checked out pikaland first and then all of the links off of pikaland and there were links off of those links and more links and so on and I was busily bookmarking them so I would get back to them and it occurred to me this morning that I never did leave a comment....
Maybe thats why its called The Web, because you get stuck like a fly with no hope of leaving....mwah ha haa haaa(evil laugh).
Ha ha, I totally have this problem when I'm at work. I could surf the net for hours if it is a slow day and suddenly find myself eating lunch with nothing accomplished. Yikes, I hope my boss doesn't find this post. LOL.
YES! Please! Someone get me a net-nanny ASAP!!!
this is a silent demon for many people. It brings so much joy and so much inspiration, yet chews up so many lost hours.
thanks for sharing
I missed this one (was away on holidays) but my demon is also the internet. My husband sets himself a timer, but the net nanny is a great idea!
I found your lovely blog after going (way) over my alotted evening internet time.
