Thank you, I did spend a great deal of time outside and I have a lot of fond memories of it too. That's part of why I want to go back and house sit while she's away this summer but without the internet and reconnect to some of those better memories. But I did a lot of computer stuff, especially in the long northern winters we have. My internet addiction got worse afterwards when I moved out, and I hate it. I used to do some good workouts up until a few years ago, so I understand where you're going and agree. As far as loneliness goes, I'm mostly comfortable by myself and enjoy the silence but also maybe that's the internet addiction. Ideally I'd focus on concentrating on art or music instead of siphoning though texts, comparing notes and watching documentaries but my attention span has gone to the dogs. A lot of what you said were really good points that had crossed my mind. Despite all the wasted time online it did bring me here at least catching up on real history and all this jew garbage. At this point it's time to start doing things like what you pointed out. As far as giving up internet for 5 days, I considered asking my sister who comes by often with the kids to take the router for a few days or block the computer with something like the ColdTurkey app. Since there's already plans for me to house sit I guess better to ease in.
