Forums & Wikipedia are probably two of the biggest distractors from school work, yet I probably have learned more from them than all of my college education thus-far.
Absolutely have to agree with you on that one! I got rid of facebook which seems to be helping, but now i'm on s2ki twice as much, haha!

While I may leave Facebook up on a tab while I do other browsing, I don't find myself spending that much time actually "on" it. The communication abilities far outweigh the time-wasting factor for me, at least.

Facebook is ok by me. Check it 1-2 times a day and that's it. I don't have 8,943,276,501 "friends" so I'm not bogged down by looking at every status update made every thirty seconds.

Tried to start the S over the weekend to circulate the fluids and the damn thing wouldn't turn over. It would crank, crank, crank, then lots of tapping noises like the noise I get turning on my gas range.

I ended up buying a battery tender from Wal Mart and after an hour of charging, the car started up with no problem at all. Felt great to take it for a spin after a 2 month hiatus.

Find ANY post from those apps, and hover over it. A button will appear in the upper right corner of the "block." It will say "Hide." Click on it and you can hide every post related to that app.

I haven't paid attention to my "requests" page, short of friend requests and events hosted by people I know, in eons.

I thought that hid posts by that particular individual. I'll have to try that, because MW, and all that other junk pisses me off.
