Been using the computer TOO much! - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Reese · 11-20-2003, 06:21 AM

The other day I noticed a callus one of the joints of my mouse clicking finger. I didn't even know this was possible! So as of today I'm going on computer vacation for a few weeks(except work related use). When I do return, computer time will be severely reduced.

However I don't think I spend that much time at the computer. I think it's because I changed my mouse from a good form mouse to a generic mouse. Whatever the reason I'm still taking a break.

Adios Amigos!

Sometimes we all need a break.

A little pumice stone will take care of that callous though

Enjoy the time off. We'll all welcome you back.

You are going to have to change your name to "naturemike" or "travellermike". Your name is forcing you to use the computer

sub zero · 11-20-2003, 04:46 PM

er, ok

ickma · 11-21-2003, 12:55 PM

Not to be pessimistic or anything but your not going to do it. If you are on the computer enough to get a callous then it's gonna be really tough to stop for even a few days let alone a few weeks. If you can manage it then all power to you.

WarWagon · 11-23-2003, 03:22 PM

I have callus on my fingers, but its mostly from doing pullups on the top of door jamb in our dorm

I have been spending nearly all of my free time on the computer though because I'm usually too tired from homework/studying/practice to do anything else. Well, computer, and playing Mario Kart with the other guys in the suite.

How exactly does this happen? And how exactly do you notice it?

yellowgowild · 11-24-2003, 08:50 AM

I know how you feel. The real world seems like a video game to me since I've been playing BF1942 so much.

I've just started playing MOHAA and I see snipers in my sleep...

water_boy1999 · 11-24-2003, 01:28 PM

You sure it's from the mouse and not from your snake?

Minx · 11-24-2003, 01:35 PM

txlovely · 11-24-2003, 02:01 PM

Maybe easier to quit smoking than bust away from cyberland.
