  1. 12 Step Web Addicts Recovery Program

     

    1. I will have a cup of coffee in the morning and read my newspaper like I used to, before the Web.

     

    2. I will eat breakfast with a knife and fork and not with one hand typing.

     

    3. I will get dressed before noon.

     

    4. I will make an attempt to clean the house, wash clothes, and plan dinner before even thinking of the Web.

     

    5. I will sit down and write a letter to those unfortunate few friends and family that are Web-deprived.

     

    6. I will call someone on the phone who I cannot contact via the Web.

     

    7. I will read a book...if I still remember how.

     

    8. I will listen to those around me and their needs and stop telling them to turn the TV down so I can hear the music on the Web.

     

    9. I will not be tempted during TV commercials to check for email.

     

    10. I will try and get out of the house at least once a week, if it is necessary or not.

     

    11. I will remember that my bank is not forgiving if I forget to balance my checkbook because I was too busy on the Web.

     

    12. Last, but not least, I will remember that I must go to bed sometime ... and the Web will always be there tomorrow!


  2. I was just wondering if anyone else thought it was odd that in ENT the mind melds is seen as a perversion and a illness spreading practice, yet only 100 years later, in Spocks time is it well used among all, part of the marriage ritual, used to rejoin Spocks Katra with his body, used at the age of seven to bond a male child to his future wife etc.

    How could the transition so fast? opinions?

    Actually a lot can happen in a hundred years. The episode "Stigma" was actually a message episode about people's attitude today towards AIDs. That was how the writers of Enterprise wanted to handle it. If you wish, I could look up the information.

     

    I believe Spock did mention some of the thngs that could happen to a person who participated in a mind meld.


  3. It depends. I would like to see a mixed cast with a fresh idea for a plot. Also, do not have the movie released at the same time as movie which could steal its viewers. I believe Nemesis did not do as well at the box office as it should because Two Towers opened too close to its release time. Nemesis opened on Dec 13th and I believe Two Towers opened on Dec. 19th.
