I was thinking of what you said about erasing the card games from your computer, I'm not sure what you mean by disassociation although I've seen that word cropping up around here more & more, I assume it's a form of escapism or letting your mind slip into auto-pilot while you're focusing on the card games? Somebody correct me if I'm wrong about that.Anyway what I was going to say is, I don't see anything so terrible about that. There's no reason that your mind has to be "on" all the time,
& I would think the cards games would be better than zoning out in front of the TV, because at least in the cards games you're actually participating in an activity. If it helps you relax and "get away" for awhile, what's the big deal? It doesn't seem harmful to be but again, maybe I'm off base here.I remember reading somewhere that if golf is the focus of most of your pleasure in life (as it seems to be with a lot of people who take up golf, although I don't get it myself - but thats beside the point) and you start having serious financial difficulties, the ONE thing that you SHOULDN'T do about your money problems is to sell your golf clubs. It's not worth it! Depriving yourself of one of the few - maybe the only - things you're truly passionate about will only serve to make your life exceedingly grim.
I'm not sure how this relates to you exactly but damn it sounded good in my head, LOL. Take care of yourself, dear, & come back soon.
