The DU Addiction Problem seems to be raging again. In hopes

[Jackpine Radical]

of throwing a lifeline to a few people here who need the help, I reprise--

[font size=6]The 12 Suggested Steps of DUmmies Unanimous[/font]

1. We admitted we were powerless over GD--that our lives had become unmanageable.

2. Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could tombstone us at will.

3. Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of Skinner as we understood Him.

4. Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of those holding or advocating opposing opinions.

5. Admitted to the Magistrate the exact nature of their wrongs.

6. Were entirely ready to have The Admin remove all these defects of character.

7. Humbly asked Them to remove our tombstones and reinstate us.

8. Made a list of all persons whom we had put on Ignore or whose threads we had hijacked, and became willing to fake amends to them all.

9. Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would entail inconveniences on our part.

10. Continued to take inventory of opposing doctrines and their proponents and when they were wrong promptly tried to make them admit it.

11. Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with Admin, as we understood Them, praying only that they would overlook our flamewars and personal attacks.

12. Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to the trolls, Morans and FReepers.

4. My server tells me I have exceeded my "Bandwidth"

and though this computer seems to be running extremely slow, I still sit and read and tell myself I have to get things done in the garden. (Maybe the power will go out and I will no longer be able to connect. I have heard "Cold Turkey" is the best way to quit)

5. Do the program for 3 months and get a whole BAG of chips!

Or Cheetos. Your choice.

[DevonRex]

9. So do I.

And his knowledge.

[Jackpine Radical]

10. I haven't been online much lately. Has something happened?

I know he had a bypass some years ago.

But then I had a bypass 20 years ago.

11. I, too, love his wit.

Hopefully, he is just busy. It is spring, and the Magistrate seems wise enough to turn off the computer and go out and enjoy life.

14. But that was before She invented sobriety.

Everybody knows you need a 12-step program to get sober. 10 just doesn't do the trick any more.
