howdy! Really have missed the forum... plus my cruise photos
« on: December 05, 2010, 10:46:32 PM »
I received a email from Jerry inquiring if I was okay.. I am touched that it was noticed I was not here.  I have missed being here and all my friends.  I am upset at myself for not taking the time to just explain.  I appologise. 

First I was in FLorida for a month, then on a 10 day Southern carribean cruise, woohooo..... .  But the main reason is I am trying very hard to break my addiction to the PC/internet.  Most of you know I make my living on Ebay so I am the Computter for that but between the ponding, chatting on other avenues, facebook, its been taking over my life so during ponding off season I was gonna try to catch up on some things that I have let go for so long.   Its been very very hard. I have had the chatting addiction for over 20 years.  I do get on facebook briefly now to keep up but have cut my internet use to over half... happy about that but sure miss the interactions I had.  anyway.. Hope all is good with yall and cant wait for a new ponding season.

I hope everyone has a great xmas and some of my cruise photos to chase away the cold/winter blues!

Tink

Many have asked for you. Chit Chat forum I think.  The computer can be addicting.
The cruise looked nice.  We plan one in February.
Looking forward to "seeing" you when you can! o(:-)

You've definitely been missed.  Glad you were able to get away AND enjoy a wonderful cruise!

I feel the same way about being computer dependant.  I have cut my time almost by half too.  Trying to blog only in wait mode, like at the doctors office or waiting in ridiculously long lines, etc.  Doesn't mean I don't miss it.  :P

If you think that your question is dumb, imagine how totally stupid you will look if you don't ask it.

Looks like the cruise was lots of fun.  @O@

I hear ya on the internet time. I've cut way back myself. I've increased on Facebook because my high school reunion is this year and I'm in charge of the reunion committee but otherwise I've cut way back. I am also being paid to sell for someone else on eBay and Amazon and to post on blogs and Facebook for their business and I was spending too much time talking about plants and ponds....

Glad to hear all is well. Looks like you had a good time on your trip, the pics are great. But there is one thing more beautiful than that, your daughters smile. Wow, she has a perfect smile!
