I am happier as a SAHM because I have blogs to read. It makes me feel less isolated and confined. So if we need to be in a twelve-step program, we can do it through our blogs.

Could this be affecting our gross national product? <BR/><BR/>I probably have about two dozen blogs that I skim regularly. I consider it part of a day's "work," but like you I feel vaguely guilty when I spend too much time in the blogosphere (or when I get up an hour early to write my blog because I know I'll be busy later in the morning). Perhaps it's a generational thing. We (and I think I can speak for both of us) are from a time when sitting and looking at a screen did not equate with time well spent.John Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15518490709206494331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29186394.post-9690478286841962592008-02-13T22:32:00.000-05:002008-02-13T22:32:00.000-05:00Nine.

Ugh, I'm not too bad though; I just started blogging last October and only have around 7 blogs that I check regularly. Yes, your one of them because we have so much in common. I do try to blog when the kids are re-charging (sleeping), because if I tried when they were awake the house would be repainted or burned down.

I used to comment on every single one every single day because I raised southern and Catholic and, according to the Code of Politeness, you aren't supposed to show up to anybody's house empty handed.

I generally have about five new blogs bookmarked that I'm checking out, I usually read for a month before I decide if I will add them to my blogroll. Sometimes I will get bored of a blog and will remove it from my blogroll as I add new ones. So I probably check about 30 blogs each day.Memarie Lanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03289584923725420572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29186394.post-88018023444621413882008-02-13T15:14:00.000-05:002008-02-13T15:14:00.000-05:00Wow.
