12 Step Recovery Program
For Web Addicts
-
I will have a cup of coffee in the morning and read my PAPER newspaper like I used to, before the Web.
-
I will eat breakfast with a knife and fork and not with one hand typing.
-
I will get dressed before noon.
-
I will make an attempt to clean the house, wash clothes, and plan dinner before even thinking of the Web.
-
I will sit down and write a letter to those unfortunate few friends and family that are Web-deprived.
-
I will call someone on the phone who I cannot contact via the Web.
-
I will read a book... if I still remember how.
-
I will listen to those around me about their needs and stop telling them to turn the TV down so I can hear the music on the Web.
-
I will not be tempted during TV commercials to check for email.
-
1I will try and get out of the house at least once a week, if it is necessary or not.
-
I will remember that my bank is not forgiving if I forget to balance my checkbook because I was too busy on the Web.
-
Last, but not least, I will remember that I must go to bed sometime... and the Web will always be there tomorrow!
Bio
Hello Lee and the Spotlight Team!
Wow! I am so humbled by being chosen for the spotlight!
Sit back, grab your fav beverage and get comfy
My favorite claim to my birth, is I was my mother's 32nd birthday
present. I was born on June 13th, 1963 - Three days before mom's
32nd. We celebrate our birthdays together every year. It's
always a great time for all of us to get together. My birth place
was Tulsa, Oklahoma.
LOL - after reading the last line above, I have to laugh. I made
it sound like I come from a huge family. Not true. There are my
parents, that's sorta obvious, huh. But the sibling count in my
family total up to one sister and no brothers. My sister and I
are best friends and I treasure the time we get to spend together.
I always yearned for a brother and bugged my parents about it,
but it never came to pass. (smile)
I graduated from High School, 25 years ago. EEK! I find it
difficult to believe it has been that long. When I was in HS,
computers were not offered to the students. Oh, but the year
after I graduated, computers were installed in every department
of the school... go figure:) After graduating, I accepted a
position with a company, and learned how program tele-marketing
computers. Yep, the ones with the automated voice, that
interrupt your suppertime activities.
I actually purchased my first computer about 15 years ago, and
loved it. I have a creative streak in my personality, and a
deep, passion driven desire to learn, as well as teach. So, I
taught myself how to use the computer. I've also taught myself
HTML, and although I've got a lot more to learn, I do okay.
I drive my husband (Jerry) of 17 years (in October), crazy
because I am so "into" computers. I am the designated
"computer geek" of the family. I have passed on my love
of computers to all three of my sons (LJ - 25 on Sunday 8/13;
Elliott - 16, and Austin - 12).
I have published my own ezine in the past, but experienced
a number of personal setbacks, and am currently not
publishing. I hope to do so again. I really miss it.
I found AdlandPro in 2001, and started utilizing the
classified ads for promotion. Then in 2004, I joined the
wonderful Adland community. Gosh, I love this community.
I have met so many outstanding people here.
Anyone who knows me can tell you that I love to help people.
I suppose my favorite way of helping is to educate folks
about the thousands of Scams that have invaded our lives.
I even offer a Scam Alert forum that reports email scams
I receive. I'd like to personally invite you to peruse
the forum, and you can do that at:
http://community.adlandpro.com/forums/3259/ShowForum.aspx
In addition to the Scam forum, I also have two other
forums I'd like to share. The first one is
http://community.adlandpro.com/forums/5909/ShowForum.aspx
And the second:

Okay, I'll stop typing now. Thank you for reading, and
thank you Lee for allowing me this awesome honor.
Toodles,
