I am definitely in the same boat. I joined only a few weeks ago, but find myself spending lots of time here. As well as reading the posts on the board, I've found tons and tons of other links and resources that NEED to be checked out, which invariably lead to more links and more links.
Another project I now have is to go throug all my quilting favorites and get them into my Delicious data so I can have them better organized. And I was worried about being bored when I retired!
I have to say, though, this site and GREAT!
