I'm pissed.
For some reason, half of my bookmarks have disappeared.

My PC is a few years old, but over the past year or so it's been showing "signs of age".
It takes me about an hour to do fifteen minutes worth of browsing, it gets "pissy" if I open more than three tabs at a time, and to boot my printer has decided it doesn't want to take in any more paper.

I've used a few restore points, ran multiple "fix it programs" but nothing has worked. (and I'm still missing my bookmarks!).

I can remember times before computers, less stressful times.
Sure, there wasn't the ability to pop into the next room and look up some pertinent information for the kids (cheat codes for their favorite video game), but there wasn't this umbilical cord tethering us to checking our email, looking for dates, or getting numerous emails on enlarging our penis'. (or enhancing ones' breasts).

I'm to the point where I don't want to shell out big bucks every few years just to see if "miss hot hot hottie" replied to my message or not. (it's usually not).

Maybe it's a sign for me to get back to "the real world" and make friend the old fashioned way.
(besides, you never know if when meeting someone from the Internet, if you're going to get raped in the butt! thanx ozzy)
