Welcome, Diane.  Ms. T is right.  This forum is addictive.  However; we will start offering classes to fight that addiction soon.  (I'm just kidding).

Welcome, Diane -

and, Janet, are all addictions bad? Are there ever good addictions?  :D

Janet Harrington

To answer Mom70X7's question...Are all addictions bad?  No.  Addict can mean to devote or surrender.  However; in today's society, what comes to mind when someone says something about addiction?  One thinks of a compulsion or obsession that is harmful to self.

Welcome to you Diane Amberg.

so far today I did go to church and I did ride around looking at the flooding.
Also walked the dog and the rest of the day I have sat here.

I did do a couple of my crossword games and I am going to do a jigsaw in a little bit.
but,can't seem to get off of this site.

I think I am very glad there isn't a chat room..............I would never shut down........LOL.......now don't tell me there (is) a chat room.......
Close enough. Glad you are here Diane..........

OH, is there a spell check on this letter head.........some days I need the help.....when fingers/mouth goes faster than the brain.
Hugs to all and God bless
Judy

Janet Harrington

Yep.  I'm addicted to spelling things right.  Sorry about that.

No spell check, but we won't say very much.  Most of the time things are typo's anyway, Judy.
