    Yes, we are all enablers, but to what end causes us to be? My main interest on the computer is the reading and exchange of constructive ideas, be it crocheting, sewing, quilting or spiritual uplifting. This is my AM project for everyday. Sometimes it lasts an hour or sometimes all morning, depends on what I find interesting or how my emotions are on any particular day. Then the afternoons are filled with cooking and crafts. Sometimes quilting, sometimes crocheting or something that makes me happy that day. I, for one, do not regret being an enabler for crafts, it is a part of the completion of a God given talent and very much worthwhile for our role in life.

    I try to limit my time on here to the time it takes to have my two cups of morning coffee. Sometimes I succeed. Sometimes I don't. Sometimes I find something that inspires me to immediately start a new project.

    Hahahaha "My name is David and I'm a quilt-board-aholic"

    I admit I can waste a lot of time here. But then I figure in the old days people used to travel a distance to get together and work on a single quilt for a few hours and talk, then travel a distance home to tend their chores. I figure the productivity might be much the same after factoring the travel time...

    Well that's my story and I'm sticking to it!

    Oh, that IS funny! If that would really work, why would be calling our stashes "fabricology research centers"? Maybe the Salvation Army could help us. :lol: (or do we even want to be helped?)
