Who else is addicted to DU and is just glad we're back up

[Ocelot II]

79. Yes and no.

The down time gave me some perspective - I realized that sometimes reading DU stresses me out, just like watching cable TV does. We end up marinating in all the commotion and controversy and it allows TFG to live rent-free in our heads. I'm tempted to comment and argue when there's really no point in it (yes, it's a message board and an opportunity to vent, but sometimes venting just makes you angrier). I think I will spend more time doing other things for awhile, less time on the internet and cable news/opinion shows. I will take walks and paint and read and sing. I am too old to waste my remaining time stewing in anger and stress. I'll be here, but not as much.
