I need this soooo badly. Constantly worried about when my stupid Farmville crops will need to be harvested. Was it 1 hour or 50 minutes until my tika masala kababs were ready on Cafe World? Facebook has taken over my life, and I'm taking it back!! I deleted ALL my games this morning. I've tried to take breaks from Farmville before, and didn't have the strength :) But this time is different! After giving up cable (and living to talk about it), I don't miss it at all. I do watch the odd show through our digital conversion box every so often, like "Biggest Loser" and "Who Do You Think You Are?", but that's about it.
But it's not enough.
I love the concept of Shabbat. At sundown on Friday the Sabbath starts and is ritually observed until sundown the following day. Peace, family, tradition--very appealing concept. In our faith, the Sabbath is observed on Sunday, so I'm unplugging Saturday evening at sundown.
Anyone with me?

Maybe, if I lived alone. My family consists of too many adults and they pretty much do whatever they want. TV comes on when Dad wakes up and stays on (muted) until he goes to sleep and I turn it off (there are three tv's). The computer is on and in use most of the day (we have 4 in our house). Maybe, I should spend the Sabbath at your house. :)
Funny you should write this because I was thinking this same thing recently. Facebook is great but it's also an evil waste of time! I'm going to try this. I can't guarantee the t.v. will be unplugged but the computer will be! Small steps... :)
