I been real busy, lots going on and the weather in AZ has been incredible. When I have a spare moment I am poolside, or I get out in the morning and ride my bike. I been looking for fun summer activities like horse back riding and want to join a biking club. Now that my lungs are clear, I am enjoying physical activity again....it's awesome!

I have been away from my comp for a couple of reasons. It's rather sedintary; something I didn't really notice before until my fast comp died and stuck with a mediocre one. This site is hellish slow and I lose my patience just sitting here waiting for pages to load. lol

The second reason I am away is I am putting distance between me and my dependency of the internet after reading this article.

I have been hacked several times, my bank account tapped, and I'm sick of the spyware and all the other crap that has turned this internet into not such a fun, care-free place anymore. Then as if that is not enough the federal government starts walking all over our right to privacy under the guise of national security. This is where I draw the line. I use the internet now only when I have to,  or need to. I sense we are going the way of China where every word we type is being scrutinized in case we say things that offend or feel like a threat to the bots that will be going over every email, blog, and posts we write. This may sound paranoid but it isn't. Just read that article. It's an eye opener. It definitely got my attention. Might be a good idea to go back to snail mail, not that I have anything to hide. That isn't the point....ya know what I mean? : ) It's about our rights. I won't go on and on with this little rant, I'm just sayin' I question just how much I really enjoy it anymore.

I miss being here though, and when I am online, this is where I will be. I love all of you, and each one of you represents a part of my quit. How could I have gotten this far without the support, the laughs, the hugs, the friendships, and the words of wisdom? So, I will always be here, maybe not as often, but I will be here.

Love & hugs!
