Absolutely. It's a rule here, never during a meal.

I have a lotto payout to send (going out today), and a couple open sale items on another forum that I can't leave hanging. so, no new business, and after this business is taken care of, I will make my last post here

I separate myself every weekend almost.

Unless I have to work: I turn off my phone, I don't touch the computer. Work in the yard, avoid the TV at all costs, I don't blog on my own website, I don't touch Facebook,and even try to avoid my landline if at all possible.

Just get tired of hearing the noise, phones ringing and the clicking of keyboards all week. Makes for a nice recharge!
