When I designed websites, I caught myself doing that too. Not the adult video part, but the breaks that turned into almost all day events. I also have bipolar and when I'm manic, I can't sit down and focus for the life of me. I'm slowly learning how to deal with it though. I know that unless I am in a structured environment I won't get anything done. I guess it's good for me that I no longer work. It does get boring though.
Highway hypnosis! I never knew the term - happened to me recently. Weird. You go through the motions but have no memory.
The internet can be a big black hole. It sucks you in, drags you down. Suddenly an hour, then two, then the entire day has disappeared. Wait! What was I here for?
It's good you're able to get your work done with everything you go through on a daily basis. You must feel exhausted frequently. It's so cool that you work from home. I wish I could. I did for a while and I loved it. I had both my work computer and my personal computer up. When I wasn't doing anything for work, I'd be doing my own thing. It was great. Now I have to be back in the office five days a week. Although there are a few people in the office who interestingly work from home one or two days a week.
I've had "highway hypnosis" more times than I care to admit, lol. I start thinking about things while I'm driving and then I wonder how I arrived at my destination - it's like auto-pilot kicks in.
Well, that was my original answer and I stick by it. I just told Robert Waltz who is a very good blogger and essayist/comedy by-the-way:
Cut up the donuts in pieces and put on a plate. Ask people to take one or two pieces. Pour the coffee in a jug. Place 6 cups and pour each half-full. Place jug and plate on the table and say nothing.
Some will be hungry, some will be thirsty. Smile. It's not your problem anymore.
That's a sad tale. But the swamps always creep me out. We spent some time wandering around the south when on an RV trip of several years. Then in the Everglades, they said you could take a canoe and do a tour on your own in the swamp. No thank you.
We have mountains, forests, gorges, bears... those who choose death-by-bear are usually found. Well... what remains. But the others? Not always. A whole lot of emptiness as QueenNormaJeanGreeneggs&vegham can attest to.
The bogs of Northern Europe have preserved many. The tar pits of California are the graveyards of many extinct (maybe not-so-bright) animals. So it comes to pass.
In Montana, the number of missing young women of native backgounds is both heart-rendering and disturbing.
