[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 678424, member: 19522"] My cat is the same, she says "purrrrrr, purrrrr, get off that darn computer and pet ME!" {POST} Arrrgghhh! I am so sorry for your losses, I cannot begin to imagine the pain of it. You have found us here, and I agree with you, this is an amazing group of kind and caring souls. I am glad that your son is making progress. It is wonderful that he is working to pay off his debt to you. I do not care for video games, not one bit. Oh, I used to play Pacman, and Tetrus really, really robbed me once upon a time, I got so into masterfully placing those darn blocks, to get the highest points, the reward, jingly music and a ROCKET. OH BOY! Before I knew it, hours would pass by. Nothing done. It is amazing what our minds focus on and get addicted to. Electronics are very powerful. I watch young people with their phones. DING! It is a TEXT! [I]They have to answer it right away[/I]. PRONTO. It reminds me of the old experiment, Pavlovs dog. It is called conditioning. He would ring a bell, every time he fed his dog, it got to the point that the dog would salivate at the bell, food or not. I think electronics and games condition our minds. I had a student who played some very violent video games. His mom wondered why he was so impulsive and angry. I think the games played a large part in his behaviors. I am glad you saw the problem and took steps to fix it. Good for you. Keep up the good work! You are a great mom! I have to ask you about your name. We raised a few pigs. We are now pigless, too. (we ate them). One may think this is terrible, but pigs just keep growing bigger and bigger, (I confess, they were yummy). (((Hugs))) pigless leafy [/QUOTE]
