I spend lots of time reading the messages here. I found it when I had surgery and couldn't see to sew. Well, I am still here and don't regret it all all. I have made friends here and found out that several of my guild friends are also here! I tell myself it is okay, as it is educational, social, and helpful to me since I can't drive and get out and about now. I do not watch TV, but I do read!! I love this board and will not call it my "addiction", but you may have to call the men in white coats if you take it away from me.
