So, today, I got rid of FarmVille and FrontierVille on Facebook. I had been thinking about doing it for awhile. They were getting overwhelming. I don't know how to explain that any further. It just took so much time! I mean, I guess, I chose to give it the time. I would sit down to play one or the other just for a few minutes and then "I'll start that new book, or maybe practice my horn, or maybe finish that afghan I started 15 years ago" and the next thing I knew it was 2 hours later and I'd done nothing! Absolutely nothing! No reading, no practicing, no crocheting. No anything productive. All my free time just poof! all gone. And wasted. It's not like they are particularly useful games. No skills involved or gained. No lessons learned. No wits matched. No social interaction. Don't get me wrong, they are fun. And if other people play them and love them, there is no condemnation from me. Have fun and enjoy! They were just taking over my world. And they are definite time-wasters. So, in the spirit of diligence and sloth-less-ness, they are gone.
I don't think I'll miss them.
