How long have you gone without using the net for personal use?

[yoda313]

I think one weekend

I'm always on checking email and surfing. I'm not addicted. I can shut off anytime. But I tend to turn it back on pretty quickly

In August 2003 when the power was out for about a day!

[Mr. Dweezel]

I'm not addicted. I can shut off anytime.

Oh yeah?

That's the first sign of addiction!

Is there life beyond the net?

About a week - but the shakes begin to get out of control.

Five weeks, when I went overseas.

I'll be in Estes Park for 10 days in June, so... probably that.

Hi,

I was without Internet for 2 weeks and 3 days while on a trip to the States, it was wonderful, visiting landmarks, just walking down the street, speaking with beautiful ladies and from time to time being asked for a quarter by some homeless.

I also realised how dangerous is to be out late at night; I encountered this hot girl one night in a lonely street and she tried to hit on me, this really stroke me, because she didn't look like a hooker.

Going on three weeks now with no internet access at my TX apartment. I'm fighting with the one company that controls/monopolizes the services in the complex because they won't let Verizon run their fiber-optic equipment in even though Verizon can bring in DSL service. I guess I check my personal email and check here from work or when I hit the coffee shop after work (to work on more work junk), but I haven't had my big rig connected since I moved down here in April and so I can't do any gaming or fun stuff like that.

dont exactly know the answer, I would guess since I've had High Speed at home not more than 2-3 days, and thats from being on vacation.

Two and a half weeks when I visited family in Mexico few years ago. Didn't have to be that long as I could have gone to a cafe but really can't use a strange computer (can't cheat on my baby).

The longest I've gone is two weeks. I was helping my son move to California and didn't have time to think about it. If I was home and couldn't get on line for two weeks I would of had withdrawal symptoms.

Jeesh you guys ever heard of internet cafes??? Easy way to get back on when you don't have it at home (or the public library )

Yoda's mom is in the kitchen, baking some cookies. She walks to the foot of the stairwell and yells, "Yoda, you've been on that thing all morning. Why don't you do what I did when I was a little girl and go for a walk outside in the fresh air. Kick a ball around or something if you're bored. You need a break."

"No worries, mom. I'll go for a walk once I get changed", Yoda replied.

< 5 minutes later>

"Just going down the street like you wanted, mom" says Yoda.

"Anywhere in particular ?"

"Yeah, I might take a look at the new internet cafe" says Yoda.
