GONE TIL SUNDAY, APRIL 1, 2012 (Taking a Sabbatical From ~ALL~ Social Websites & Competitive Online Games)

Dear Friends & Wee Pups,

The internet is devouring my life again. I am ~DESPERATE~ (thank God!) to accomplish some things in other (needy) areas of my life...so it's breaktime -- a long, and hopefully productive break -- from web-based, social & entertainment activities.

===========================================================================

PLEASE NOTE: I HAVE FIXED MY PROFILE SETTINGS, TO ALERT ME BY PERSONAL EMAIL, AS TO:

#1 - ANY PRIVATE MESSAGES -- FROM INDIVIDUALS

#2 - ANY FRIEND REQUESTS

#3 - ANY ACTIVITY IN MY DUAL-DIAGNOSIS GROUP

So if you aren't currently in possession of my phone or email info, the above is how to reach me, should any of you wish to do so.

===========================================================================

You shall all be in my prayers...and please pray for me, too.

To reiterate, I am taking this time away, in an attempt to move forward in my recovery. As I may have shared a few times here at AA-Meetings.com, there are areas of my life, which severely need some attention, in the form of focused action, and I am ready to begin (once again, thank you God!). (-_-)

"Uh-buh-dee, uh-buh-dee, Uh-That's All, Folks!"

~Porky Pig

See ya' in the funny papers, Dear Ones! =D

Hugz & blessings, =]

P.S. WHAT IN THE WORLD IS THE MATTER WITH THIS BLOG FEATURE, THAT IT WILL NOT PERMIT ME TO MAKE LINE SPACES BETWEEN MY LAST PARAGRAPH, MY THREE CLOSING COMMENTS --- AND THIS POSTSCRIPT?!?!?!?!?!

I'VE TRIED OVER, & OVER & OVER & OVER, TO MAKE IT SO...BUT THE ONLY WAY THE SILLY THING WOULD LET ME DO IT, WAS TO MAKE THE LINES YOU SEE, BETWEEN EACH SENTENCE OR COMMENT. AAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRGH !!! =[

Comment by THE ORIGINAL EARTHMOM on February 6, 2012 at 7:22pm: LOL...try a little patience??? When I'm in the mood to be "grousing" about something, I do NOT want to give it up til I'm ready to do so. =D

Sabbatical is a period of rest & refreshment, by modern orthodox definition. The only thing I'm trying to "rest" from is excessive web & pc use (emphasis on "TRYING"...I'm NOT succeeding very well). I actually intended it to be what I call a "working Sabbatical" (lol a contradiction in terms, I think...but it suits my purposes!).

The work is a focus on recovery efforts in non-physical-sobriety areas of my life, which desperately need it (as stated in the body of my blog...sorry for the redundancy). =P

So it's not a vacation, though I can understand why folks think it is. Probably a poor choice of terms, on my part. Nonetheless (to go a step further in gleeful absurdity) as a wordsmith, I like the actual sound of the word "Sabbatical", lol; it rolls so nicely off the tongue!

That's enuff drivel outta' me for the time being! =P

As for a Sabbath Rest(Sabatical), which one does your 's come under?

Oh, it doesn't mean the same thing, or does it?

May be it's just my poor spelling, I laughed about when you sent me how to spell disease instead of desease.

You can catch my spelling any time you wish,

as it does not offend me.

What does offend me are these sites that don't have spell-check.

Sometimes God puts us into a period of rest,

like when my computer was down for a few months.

Or when He answered my prayers to stop drinking.

He got me into jail.

Yep, I've got a God that loves me.

Have a Blessed vacation.
