But don't be a snob about it...

I consider myself a foodie. Not a food snob. When I think of food snob I think of people that try to impress you with what you eat, not because they necessarily enjoy it. A foodie knows all the little hole in the wall joints that serve great food.
In my pantry, sea salt, kosher salt, homemade seasoning salt (made with kosher salt, and other spices), and rarely used iodized salt. A few wines, well stocked liquor cabinet, but few beers, if any. I do need to stock up on bitters and my cheese selection would not impress anyone, but I do have a great garlic beef summer sausage that I splurge on.

You forgot "Ewe Only Live Twice" and "10 things I Hate About Ewe", but other than that, classics, every one! 
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

How cruel.
Griff took weeks to recover after the last time someone mentioned the movie that shall not be named.
It's also banned in Wales.

I had a new day resolution I put into effect on January 1st, and it was not to use any computer. (Phones etc. acceptable).
I've been suffering from Information Creep recently, for example rather than just watching Indiana Jones over the xmas period, I find myself reaching for the laptop to go to the IMDB to see if I'm older than he was in the Temple of Doom (alas, I am). I then get distracted by other internet related stuff and lose track of the bloody film completely. (Not that terrible in this particular case). This sort of thing happens too much - the internet is a continual defocusing distraction.
But not on January 1st. Didn't check the news/bank balance/spelling of words/age of actors/codeproject/anything else. It's a bit like giving up smoking because you get the craving but all-in-all it was a good day. I'm intending to carry this on every Saturday from now on.
Worth a go, if you're tough enough.
Regards,
Rob Philpott.

ADD?
Not being funny here, some people who are easily distracted have a "tendency" to have some degree of ADD.

No more so than the next I'd say. This is common, a lot of people I have spoken to have the same tendency. In fact, a lot of people I go to the pub with have a hard time just getting drunk, leering and talking nonsense without getting engaged with their phone for protracted periods. I don't ever do this, so I think I'm better than a lot.
If it is an addiction, or a 'life-style choice', then it may not become apparent that you're hooked until you stop. We don't need to look too far from here to see people who live on the net..
Regards,
Rob Philpott.

Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

Wouldn't have anything to do with Shabbos (Shabbat) would it?

Of course it has - that's the origin. However I've learned over the years that there are other benefits than please God...

Never tried, but if it makes one a better person...

Simple Math on that
Bacon + eat + you = happy you
happy you + other people = more happy people
=> Bacon = more happy people => better you
if(this.signature != "")
{
MessageBox.Show("This is my signature: " + Environment.NewLine + signature);
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show("404-Signature not found");

This is good idea. I have three young kids who demand my attention the whole time and it makes trying to do anything extremely frustrating! Again, it's a hard thing to do but I'm learning the best way to handle it is to not try to do anything and just devote the time to them.
And since pretty much everything I do these days involves a computer, this is a step in that direction, on Saturdays at least.
Regards,
Rob Philpott.

I found that if the phone or the keyboard not at hand it is much easier to pay attention to the kids (I have four) - so the physical separation works best...and the weekday not matters at all...
