...Yes, this is definitely an addiction for me. Anyway, I also want to express no hard feelings. It's me who gets too emotionally caught up on here, or sets a circular argument trap for myself and I feel like I am wasting time that could be better spent with people, outdoors, etc. rather than online. I just wanted to let some of you know, who I have kept wondermail contact with recently.

It seems to me you just got here. But you do what's best and right for you. Thanks for saying so. Every bit of info helps. And I like to know why people leave.

Posted on: 07/05/2011 21:58

When you find the cafe being an obsession, then it is definitely time to take a break.

When you think of it, some people are able to take an alcoholic drink, and enjoy it....others find it addictive...and others find it troublesome at certain times.

come back when you are able and keep asking questions...it is good to do so

Kimmio, I am sad that you are

Kimmio, I am sad that you are taking a break from WonderCafe. You have been adding new life to WonderCafe and especially to me, an old codger, rather set in my ways.

On the other hand I know that WonderCafe can be addictive and a wise person has to set limits.

In my case i can afford to spend quite a bit of time on WonderCafe because Namana and I live in a rather isolated area. Our nearest neighbor is 2 miles away. The nearest coffee shop, I drink hot water, is 16 miles away.

On still another other hand Namana and I have been renting a retirement suite in Regina since January 2011. We have been slowly furnishing it, mostly by robbing furniture from our home on the farm, and staying in the suite for short visits in Regina. We look forward to living in Regina and are very happy with the location of the retirement suite -Just a short walk from the YMCA, The Senior's Learning Centre, Public Library and other places offering activities and chances for interaction.

Kimmio ... You should

Posted on: 07/06/2011 09:00

Kimmio ... You should definitely take a break. Then come back later and be really choosey about the discussions you join. Make your comments short when you join in. Don't join conversations that are rehashing old topics ... you know ... the "is the Bible the literal word of God?" sort of threads. Read more and post less. Saves time and energy. That way you get to contribute and don't suffer burnout or the "guilt of addiction".

... and Naman it is nice to see that you and Namana are making some changes that you find agreeable. I've never been to Regina but it sounds like you will have lots to do when you move there.

Kimmio, If you are feeling that the best thing for you is to take a break, then good for you to realize that. I do hope that you will pause, reflect and make your way back here though. I agree with qwerty - perhaps be selective about which threads to join in on and how much to post - take note of how much emotional energy a thread/topic is taking out of you.

Take care.

One can also time one's self, and limit it to 1 hr a day, or whatever is suitable.

It's breaktime again, and I

Posted on: 01/09/2012 03:13

It's breaktime again, and I am serious this time! It has little to do with WC, and a lot to do with me. I need to reduce my time here and increase it in the community I live in. I have read over some of my recent posts and really noticed that I have been"preaching" about doing and not doing enough. Life is too precious to just sit and think about living it. Help is too rare these days to sit here and talk about helping. Love is too important to just sit here and write about loving. I appreciate the thought provoking discussions and friendship on WC...and look forward to more in a few weeks, maybe a month or so..

Peace.

eo, if i could like your post, i would!

kimmio, we all need a break sometimes.

come back when you can..you will be missed, but, kinda like a committee member, sometimes, when you do come back, you are so much better, fresh eyes, fresh attitude.

now, don't take me wrong, i think you have a great attitude, but, you know when you need a break, so i trust your judgement
