Should I prepare for withdrawal symptons?
I plan on staying away from the internet for a few days soon. Four days of no internet to be precise.
Should I prepare for cold sweats? What's the worse physical symptoms I should expect to endure?
Yeah. I'm scared.

The first 24 hours will be okay, then you start to look around for computers and when you realize that there isnt one, you have nightmares and lots of other unspeakable side effects.
Goodluck!

What? You brave soul! I can't say what the symptoms are because, i've not done that for several years.... Well, I once went two days without it and it was very boring.

Sitting at dinner, only to realize you're pointing and clicking with a dinner roll.
Bring a calculator and pretend it's an iPhone?

Youll get VERY board. the foremost thing you'll miss is the connectivity we have on the net (with people) and various communities. you may wanna find yourself itching to check up on /. for example. or wht. or whatever community you are affiliated with.
we internet people have become kinda an interconnected big living organism here.

I'm assuming this is when you'll be on your honeymoon. I would hope that internet access isn't even going to cross your mind during those 4 days!!

You'll know it's serious withdrawal if:
* you start calling out "ping... ping... ping..." in an increasingly panicky tone.
* you try to think of excuses to visit the public library -- and more excuses for why you returned without any books.
* you begin to look forward to receiving spam. =o.O=
Enjoy! 'Specially if it's a honeymoon, in which case, Conga-Rats!

But can't because I have to make a living.

Is Mouse going on vacation too?
If so, I've got some things I need to post while you're gone -- need to make sure they get some good views before you get back

Sorry to ruin your fun, Nick... the Mouse will be here along with (most) of the rest of the staff.
But go ahead and post so we can get down to business.

I can imagine both of them looking up at the stars after a romantic evening, Lois saying that the night is beautiful, and then Dennis replying, "Yeah... almost as nice as WHT." After that, he gets slapped and banned

Everyone needs to take a vacation.
Don't worry - I'll hold down the fort.

Don't worry, everything will be fine.
You will be disoriented for the first few hours, but then you will start adapt yourself in new environment. - Double click the market door to open
- Pick a shopping cart
- Drag items to shopping cart
- Goto to your SELF:\>Clothes\Trousers\Pockets\Backpocket folder and pull Wallet file.
- Drag and drop the money into the cashier.
- Cut and paste the items from the cart to your car.
- Exit
