http://www.tehachapinews.com/home/Blog/gube/22159 I just read a post by ablogger on another site that ended with''MY LIFE IS SO SAD''and it got me thinking......... OK I know why I have all the time in the world to blog. I am recovering from several surgeries. I have been off work for 10 months. prior to that I had never Bloged nor did I know what blogging was. Now i'm addicted to blogging. I go back to work soon and well probably suffer with-drawls. Anyway other blogger have made comments to me that I must be a lonely man or that my life must be really sad to post  and argue the stuff I do. Well when I read those statements I always laugh and if my woman is around I'll read her the comment and we both laugh and agree if you only knew how lonely and sad I am you would probably feel sorry for me. God I cant wait to get back to work. It is not good for a man not to work. It makes him kinda whacko, at least it does me. My question is there are several people that post on here all the time. Do you work? do you blog from work? Are you addicted to blogging?Do you feel that you to have a sad life?

Do you work? do you blog from work? Are you addicted to blogging?Do you feel that you to have a sad life? en-us I can relate with you on being unable to work.  I've been going through the immigration process here in the US since June which clearly lets me know I am unable to attain any employment/income while my status is pending. When you are used to working and suddenly no longer are able to you lose so many things. The paycheck of course (or lack there of) but also the social interaction. I think that might actually be harder to deal with than the lack of finances, for me anyways. Since I am unable to work I of course blog from home. I'm not addicted to blogging its merely a way to pass some time inbetween household chores . I don't feel that I have a sad life, not yet anyways LOL http://www.tehachapinews.com/home/Blog/gube/22159/#c_202865 http://www.tehachapinews.com/home/Blog/gube/22159/#c_202865 I can relate with you on being unable to work.  I've been going through the immigration process here in the US since June which clearly lets me know I am unable to attain any employment/income while my status is pending.

Gube there is a group like AA--it's 12 steps-and you have to make a firm commitment.  It is a tough program and many people have relapses.  I'm  one of the relapsers.  One day, when I too have to go back to work, am going to go through withdrawals.  The name of the group is called BA--Bloggers Anonnymous.  Welcome to the group. Yes, I am lonely.  It is hard being married for 22 yrs then be a widow. It's been 3 1/2 yrs and I still haven't dated.  I think blogging is my communication with other adults. http://www.tehachapinews.com/home/Blog/gube/22159/#c_204528 http://www.tehachapinews.com/home/Blog/gube/22159/#c_204528 Gube there is a group like AA--it's 12 steps-and you have to make a firm commitment.  It is a tough program and many people have relapses.  I'm  one of the relapsers.  One day, when I too have to go back to work, am going to go through withdrawals.  The name of the group is called BA--Bloggers Anonnymous.  Welcome to the group.

Me? ...NO..., I sometimes come here to get away from all those who want a piece of me. I pop in here-and-there and comment once in awhile, or sometimes just lurk around when I have a spare moment to myself, I have allot on my plate. No one here cares weather I comment or not anyway so it really doesn't matter because I don't participate enough to make a difference. If this was the last blog I ever comment on it wouldn't even make any difference in my life but if there was someone here who needed any advice I could offer then I would be glad to comment. The blog has changed so much since I started blogging that I find myself less -interested than before, I hate politics and religion, and since that is the only subject that seems to come up anymore most of the posts have become less interesting for me. I liked it when it was more light-hearted and fun, so if it were to get back to the way it use to be I might be more "hooked" to it, but for now ............... http://www.tehachapinews.com/home/Blog/gube/22159/#c_204576 http://www.tehachapinews.com/home/Blog/gube/22159/#c_204576 Lonely?
