40 Days... Can I Do It?

Tomorrow is Ash Wednesday. I've given up the computer for Lent. I don't intend to type, touch a mouse or look at a CPU until the Monday after Easter. If I pull this off, it'll be the longest I've gone without doing those things in 16 years.

Meanwhile, if you come across something interesting you'd like to share, please feel free to leave a link as a comment on this entry. I'm sure I'll return to the computer like a hungry dog on April 17, and I'll be grateful for fun links to click.

I'll talk to you then.

Ambitious. I know I couldn't do it; my job requires using a compy plus I communicate mostly through e-mail and IM. Also, I don't think I've ever made it through the 40 days without slipping. :/ I guess we'll relay important messages to you through Wendy. Happy Easter!

Almost forgot if you're still checking tonight, I need your Myclofig votes. Wendy will have to tell you if your favorites win Saturday.

Have a great lent; the fast sounds like it should be fulfilling for you.

well, this should clear up a considerable amount of my time for the next 30-days... No SoCon to lurk on :(

Wait, let's kill 2 birds with 1 stone: for Lent, I'll give up reading SoCon.

Best of luck on your "Fast", Darrell. I look forward to your return to the world of blogging.

May God bless you for your sacrifice.

Wow, good luck! I sure couldn't do it...my job requires computer usage...oh, and I don't have the willpower ;-)

I can't believe Darrell didn't make an exception to post a rant about the Oscars...

Perhaps he gave up the Oscars for lent too.

naw, on second thought- you're only supposed to give up enjoyable things.

Just checking in to see how you're getting by without the computer. Are you over the shakes yet? Hang in there ;-)

He's missing the cool "How well do you know Jerry" quiz over at my blog :(

Spamming a temporarily dead blog, J-No? You've been working with marketers for too long. You don't see me plugging my MCF Quiz, or pointing out that you got the link from my site, now, do you?

Tsk tsk, absolutely shameless....;-)

I just looked at the calendar and saw that Easter is the 16th..

ARRRGH!!!

Does that mean you're not back until the 17th? Cuz Darrell certainly isn't going to go online on Easter Sunday.

ARRRGHH!!!!

Okay, getting a grip here.. plodding along..
