I've been spending WAY too much time on the internet these past few days. Between AFF and MySpace I've spent too much time on the net. I'm feeling led to do an internet fast for 24 hours.
Why I'm I telling you all. ACCOUNTABILITY!
Starting tonight at 10PM! So if you see my little light on here or MySpace, please make me feel really bad!
Anyone want to join? There's power in numbers. Just reply with "I'm in" and we'll do this together.

Is this another plea for "help" staying off the board?!?

Nope, just like I said accountability.

Before you go, I've been wondering. Hows the work you and the hubby are doing there in North Carolina? (Sorry, off topic)
Am I all alone on this one :(
I guess maybe getting anyone to do an internet fast is kinda like pastor's getting people to agree to fast meals. Some people don't like pushing back the plate-- other's can't live without their daily internet fix. :oops
I'll be taking an internet break myself tomorrow to spend quality time with other members of our church youth group selling concessions at Ole Miss. We'll probably be short handed a few people because a ladies shopping trip is scheduled tomorrow also. It'll be interesting to see how many ladies pass up a chance to go shopping to sell hotdogs, popcorn, etc.
Confession: I'd be going with them to shop-- but as usual-- I've already spent the amount I budget myself for mad money every week at a garage sale!

Spend the day with family or friends...

Uhhhhh, hate to disappoint, but Al Gore already started the internet, not sure of how fast it went, but you are definitely behind the times....

A key to successful fasting spoken by Jesus:
Mat 6:16 Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
17 But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy face;
18 That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father which is in secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly.

Whoa! You can't really do that can you? I knew a guy who tried once and the black helicopters came.
Oh, wait... you'll "be off the Internet..." I thought you were gonna try and take the whole thing down. That'd be cool to try - just for the bragging rights.
I remember this one time a friend of mine tried to test the DoD theory about distributed networks surving nukes. So, from his home near the secret UFO base in NV he ... well, the rest is history, of course, and everyone calls him "BOOMM" now for his efforts.

I have to work 16 hours tomorrow, get about 6 hours of sleep and go back for another 14-16 hours...if it's 14, I'll be here tomorrow night to catch up. If it's 16, I won't be on until later Monday morning, as I have class early that morning.

It's now 10:38 pm here in SW Ohio and so far I didn't see where anyone committed to join Darcie. Maybe we're all too addicted. Lord knows, I'd sure be better off to cut back on my time on the internet. Well, I'll probably be away now until some time Saturday afternoon or evening but it won't be because I've willingly pulled myself away. It will be because I won't be home.

Good effort on your part Darcie. We all should do this every now and then. It would give us a "reality check".

HA!HA! I logged off cuz I knew JC would want to lurk, so I didn't want to seem like I was on.
But no, I didn't even do online banking which I do everyday...
The only thing I did today on the comp was write a letter...:hypercoffee

Got scripture:
"Now Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, "Oh that You would bless me indeed and enlarge my border, and that Your hand might be with me, and that You would keep me from harm that it may not pain me!" And God granted him what he requested."
