Now I have a better balance. I've never done Facebook, don't twitter, msn etc. I don't even have a mobile phone. <br /><br />I just have my blogs, and that works well for me.LL Cool Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13916666100971008775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5263129748509629442.post-72305871315435663522010-11-13T04:41:25.794+01:002010-11-13T04:41:25.794+01:00No cell phone in our family.

I do try and USE my obsession to make me go forward though. Here's a site I use htpp://www.mytomatoes.com - just check it out if you can.
