I've been in my own boat sitting out in this water looking at this view. Awesome!-Sandee. This is a Tip of The Hat to Sandee, my Co-Author and blog wizard.

The Blogger's Prayer

Lord help me to learn to spell without spellcheck, manage to visit all that visit me, and post regularly - all in 5 minutes a day, so that I can clean house and take care of my family. Help me to not look at every occurrence in my life as a blog post, and to quit taking pictures of weird things to share as well. Please Lord, help me to stop talking about my blog friends as though they are next door neighbors or someone I have known all of my life. And help me dear Lord, to think of something witty and wise to post tomorrow.

On Addictions.

Folks I have come to the conclusion that I am a computer addict. I'm addicted to blogging and got addicted to things like Entre card and Twitter. Well to correct said addiction I have quite twitter.and will be leaving Entre card when the last advert is run. So there for i will just be content to reading blogs and writing my blog(s)

  1. Yep it all can be very addictive. Sometimes you have to watch your time or you will be sucked into it for hours. :)

  9. oh man i know so well about being a computer addict! I to am one, and i ended up cutting back on line a lot because it was ruling my days! I to had to leave groups, i left all but blogger for awhile. I now started up with sparkspeople, which is a place to help people live healthier lives, and has a wonderful support system in place. I still try to limit my time even there and on my blog as you have seen.

    Hugs my friend.

  10. well, I can certainly understand the addicting nature of some of these things. I have a friend who warned me about how blogging can become an addiction, so I am trying not to obsess about it too much.

    I still am not sure how I feel about the entrecard stuff. On the one hand, I like the number of visitors it brings me, but you only get a handful of those folks who actually read and comment. I will keep with the entrecard for a while. I used to try to drop cards on everyone who dropped on me that day, but now I only drop if I have the time to do it.

  11. Wish you very well on your wish to stop computer addiction. it can indeed be very frustrating sometimes, when you want to stop, but you can't and keep on reading, blogging, reading, etc. i do that sometimes too, I have to really remind myself to stop.

    Thanks a lot for the Entrecard credits. You are so generous.

  12. I don't Twitter - cannot for the love of me see the use for it. As for entrecard, I read the blogs I have bookmarked, I click on SOME of the entrecard thingies but not all, entrecard has helped me find other folks and folks have found me, I say keep it just don't feel compelled to do x-number of drops or even advertise everywhere. I'm very selective about were I advertise, who I drop on and who's ads I accept. I use it mostly as a search tool for blogs.

  13. wow,take a day off and man do the comments add up.thank you all for stopping by. Mira,Blanne,Grandy,Dori,Tink,Dickster1961,Betchi,and Broadway Matron.I'm taking the steps I taken so the this box in front of me does not control my life as much as it has.Than again this is not as bad as some of the adictions that I have had in the past,such as drinking and smoking.these two can cause some life threatening problems.

  18. I too am a computer addict but I gave up smoking already and I'm not quite ready to give up the computer. I am spending less time on the computer though and spending more time reading books (no reading is not reading, not in my eyes that is).
    I'm sorry you are experiencing issues with your health that make this decision for you but know that I will still drop by and know that you will be very missed in this EC community.
    My deepest heartfelt friendship goes to you Mike.
