this guy i've been seeing for the past 3 months and i are going away from the city for 4 days this weekend. i guess it's a romantic getaway and he's not telling me where we are staying (=surprise) except he gave me a list of amenities that's available there.
one of them is high-speed internet access...and i'm wondering if it would be rude to bring my laptop with me. i think it'd be useful to search for restaurants and activities around the area, but i have a tendency to start checking emails and worse...log onto NT.
(in fact, not checking email for 4 days give me a chill...which is pathetic.)should i bring my laptop anyway?

bring the laptop, just dont check NT.
- grafholic0
will you slap me if i show up after 3pm on friday until 5pm monday?
- dippy0
bring it.
but if we see you on NT this weekend, we'll know you're obviously bored. ;)
- mrdobolina0
consider yourself slapped.

Don't bring it. If he's making the effort to plan a romantic getaway, give him the respect and courtesy he deserves. It's only 4 days and i'm sure your eyes can use a rest. Get out there and live your life offline for a bit.

i don't think i'll be bored..it's just the urge to check what's going on in the virtual world..which will attack me while he's taking a shower or taking a dump..

yeah i agree with you, mayo..that's the main concern : disrespect.
plus, i need a rehab from the web.

If it were a week or more, I would be for bringing the laptop, but it's 4 days. Have an adventure. We'll still be here in 4 days.

From "A Hard Days Night" (yes, i have most of this movie memorized). just replace "book" with "the interweb."

in particular)
Will you ever look at him, sitting there wid
his hooter scraping away at that book!RINGO
Well ... what's the matter with that?GRANDFATHER
(taking the book from him)
Have you no natural resources of your own? Have
they even robbed you of that?RINGO
(snatching back his book)
You can learn from books.GRANDFATHER
Can you now? Aah ... sheeps' heads! You learn
more by getting out there and living.RINGO
Out where?GRANDFATHER
Any old where ... but not our little Richard
... oh no! When you're not thumping them pagan
skins, you're tormenting your eyes wid that
rubbish!RINGO
(defiantly)
Books are good!GRANDFATHER
(countering)
Parading's better!RINGO
Parading?GRANDFATHER
(marching up and down the canteen)
That's it, parading the streets ... trailing
your coat ... bowling along ... living!RINGO
Well, I am living, aren't I?GRANDFATHER
You're living, are you? When was the last time
you gave a girl a pink-edged daisy? When did
you last embarrass a sheila wid your cool
appraising stare?RINGO
Eh ... you're a bit old for that sort of chat,
aren't you?GRANDFATHER
At least I've a backlog of memories, but all
you've got is that book!

Unplug. The web will still be here when you get back and I doubt you'll miss much.

Dont bring the laptop,
I will give you the rundown of what you will be missing over the 4 days on NT.
mac vs pc thread
crit my site (even though it sucks) thread
is this a boil on my ass thread
some random question about flash (that could be googled)
threadAnd a few more pointless threads that keep people like me coming back.

unless you doing a long trip or business trip, don't.
enjoy some time away from your computer.

HEY! i have an idea! why don't you ASK him if it's ok????
- brandelec0
bring vaseline instead
right leah! right! *nudge nudge
- mayo0
I wouldn't ask him, just the thought that you can't stay away from your computer for a few days might sour his feelings. You always hear girls complain that their man doesn't do sweet or romantic things. Well, here's your man, doing something you probably deserve, don't spoil it.

If you haven't got it there will be no temptation... I love christmas when I'm away from home and no where near a computer... except when the mother in law gets me to install her airport extreme :)
- Gorbie0
you'll probably need to look up directions on mapquest.
you know he's not going to.
