I know exactly what you are saying. First o all I was on Facebook for a little while. Didn't like some of the things DH"s DIL's were posting so I took myself off. Nothing seems to be sacred anymore. I have been whining about not having a crafting friend and I stumbled across this board. I love it! I met someone on here that lives about 25 minutes from me and we plan on meeting after the first of the year. I am newly retired and adjusting to that also. I wanted to take a picture of first quilting project ever (this past month) and email it to some friends and family...then decided why? They don't get it. Most days now, I love living in my own "little world". Safe, warm and sane there! ;)
