Ah, Kula, give yerself a break. I mean, don't knock your head about Avalon. First, it's better than tv. Second, it's interactive, which is better than just sloshing through the net without any other people commenting and connecting. Third, it's Winter. What else is there to do? We have connected, all of us, through our gloom and doom phases, and then on, to our solutions phase. Nothing wrong with finding joy in community. You, across the big water, are now my neighbor, and we're debating together, all of us, just like on the front porches of earlier times. The new front porch is now a forum. What's so kool is that we can talk with our "neighbors" from all over the world. What we are finding out is that we are more similar than we are different. A very big step for the humans. It was time for us to figure all of this out...maybe we will refuse to let our leaders start wars among us once we recognize those similarities.

Avalon isn't an addiction unless the chores aren't getting done...Linda
