I love your twelve steps. I remember becoming addicted, completely addicted, to the point of getting up at two am to check if I had messages from my new friends. It was back in 1994 and AOL was new. I outgrew that adolescent crush with the internet, but you are so right, the addiction showed up again and here I am. The difference is, I am trying to pay attention. You of all people know that "just a little drink" probably isn't really being sober, so I am anything but sober. I still need to read your blog! LOL among some others, but I am paying attention. thanks so much for your thoughts.Sue Malonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00332448503740101970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10886995.post-43007928943510222792012-04-25T19:23:07.125-04:002012-04-25T19:23:07.125-04:00Exactly why I am cutting back on the blogging...Li...Exactly why I am cutting back on the blogging...Life is continually occurring around me, and I don't want to miss a thing!Dennis and Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07320009741335075781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10886995.post-5370083875638518222012-04-25T12:00:23.084-04:002012-04-25T12:00:23.084-04:00I love your photography and look forward to it!

Love to read about the writer's everyday activity, or not so active day, what the temperature was, where they walked to and saw. The old diaries didn't have photos, though. What you and other bloggers are doing are recording 21st century history, don't you think so? What makes today's diaries better are the photos, especially yours. Your thoughts are interesting because it's all about living each day.<br />I started reading your blog for a little while now and throughly enjoy your writing.<br />Thank you for sharing.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13200262178415437593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10886995.post-18387433619038844312012-04-25T11:08:13.389-04:002012-04-25T11:08:13.389-04:00You may not be a professional photographer, but yo...You may not be a professional photographer, but you are a good photographer, with good equipment and a great eye.

I'd be out living the good life if I lived in Oregon, too! Well, that is if my back would allow it. I had a book made of my 2010 trip blog. I sure wish I had known about blogs when my husband was alive and we traveled, together. I kept diaries, of course but it isn't the same. I relive the happy moments all the time, but it would be nice to know what we were doing on a certain date. I wonder all the time. It's not as easy to search through years of diaries though I do read them, often, and try to find the pictures (now in albums) to match up with the days.<br /><br />I'm a night owl so the TV runs in the background as I read. What I didn't expect was to get caught up and emotionally involved with so many people--especially people who are going through trying times. Letting them know that I care is important to me because I do care--they've become friends in some unexpected and curious way. I don't feel as alone, and I hope commenting on their blogs lets them know they are not alone.<br /><br />I blog only when I have something to say--well some might say blogging about my pal, Jack, is questionable, but it makes me remember times he made me laugh. Often times I want to write about how I miss my husband, how life has changed, complain how I didn't get to live our dream, and how I am sad that I couldn't travel west this year. It's more for myself, but I always have to be aware that a few others are reading, and I don't want them to think I'm whining. I have a private diary for my really sad moments, for my ranting moments--and, I'm glad no one reads that stuff.<br /><br />Well, actually, I answered Al's question, here, so I'll copy it and comment on his blog. I added a few sentences.hobopalshttp://travelswithmrnimble.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10886995.post-7826187323133653152012-04-24T22:43:09.815-04:002012-04-24T22:43:09.815-04:00Very much liked the 12 Steps, your pictures and yo...Very much liked the 12 Steps, your pictures and your blog posts...don't ever stop!Kevin and Tracy (a.k.a. kcgaz)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11240341668683950383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10886995.post-72324471323622880072012-04-24T21:57:29.482-04:002012-04-24T21:57:29.482-04:00Love the pictures and the way they may or may not ...Love the pictures and the way they may or may not have anything to do with the blog itself. That black squirrel picture is really terrific and so is the frog. Impasta for sure! Thanks for the laugh.<br /><br />I came to blogging reluctantly having spend too much time in IT during my "career" but now I find that since we are fulltiming these folks have become my friends and I look forward to my early morning and last thing in the evening check in with them. Am I addicted, hmmmmmmmm not sure. I know I'd rather read than post but I also know that I learn a lot from my readers' comments and that's important to me as is having a record of where I was and maybe even what I was thinkin while I was there. Good food for thought the idea of addicted to blogging.

Difference is ours are tiny and reddish brown. Yet they steal bird feed. And they bring the whole feeder down. Molly is completely transfixed with them. I only have to say the word and she shoots out the door, taking position at the shed, where those suckers have taken up residence. Yet I find them cute and would never kill one. They are also part of nature. And nature is important to all of us.Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01197108331214049357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10886995.post-48547726291764672452012-04-24T20:15:49.975-04:002012-04-24T20:15:49.975-04:00Thanks Al

I have to think that when I am cutting other life activities short because I have to go read blogs, make comments, write my own blog, or respond to comments, then perhaps I am a bit too overzealous.
