Oh I hear you. I fell for Farmville at one time and got to the point where I actually felt like I was working an unpaid job so I quit and I had friends who played begging me to just take a break and with a level of importance that I found comical. I still have a few friends from the game that I've stayed in contact with. If you get to know someone and become friends you can be friends without a game. Needless to say the very few that I'm still friends with weren't in the "but you can't just quit" category. I watched a similar show or maybe the same show. Basically they want to trigger your brains own reward system to get you "hooked" and I suspect they do to a certain extent. If someone was sick or I was sick or if someone in my household just needed my time I know it would not have bothered me. I don't like things that are out of my control. Like if the cable goes out I get aggitated even if I had no plans to watch it. I did think a 10 hour wifi outage was a bit much, especially for how much they charge. There are times when I miss the old days, snail mail, landlines, just a few tv stations. I'm glad my kids are grown. They actually went out and played when they were young and when we watched tv in the evening before they went to bed we watched it together. I imagine these days parents have to make a conscious effort to spend time together and get their kids out of the house. Sorry for the rambling. Have a great week and thanks for everything!!!
