Just wanted to thank all the people who communicated with me during the
short time that I was here and let you know why I suddenly disappear.
Tomorrow I finish house-sitting and move back to my off-grid living place
in the bush.
And I also found that I'm quite addicted to information seeking on the internet,
and I have to stop that so I can try to get on top of my mind and perception issues with
meditation, mindfulness and stuff like that. I'm sure that is also going to help with the AS issues
quite a bit.
You are a really interesting bunch of people here and I learned a lot from you, I enjoyed it very much!
Best wishes to all of you

Best wishes in your return to more time for meditation! I've interacted with and enjoyed your posts. I know what you mean, though, it is very addictive to hang around on the internet just starting to information-surf -- I do too much online time myself.

It is very mind-clearing to get away from it or cut down time online. :)
Best wishes in everything.

Thank you BirdInFlight, I enjoyed your posts too :)
I'm cleaning the house today and tonight I sleep in my hut in the bush again.

I've cut down on my Internet time drastically and I've been doing arts & crafts the majority of the time for the past month and a half. I do my two surveys a day on Points2Shop and play a few games on Facebook and than I find stuff to do.

All the best. Enjoy your hut and the bush!

Before you leave, watch this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lLmM1N754vU to wean yourself off the internet :-)

I'm looking forward to a day out on the ocean tomorrow.

Don't be a stranger.

Feel free to drop in once in a while on us here.

But yeah- I get addicted to the net too. Am wresting with that too.
