I'm slipping into a cyber-abyss, according to my husband.  How do all of
you find the time to stay current with all of your Lactnet posts and
Lactnet generated email with your "other" jobs?   'Just curious.

Hi, I'm Deborah Tobin. I've been a Lactnetter now for several weeks. I log on
two or three times a day. I work outside the home part-time, so its doable.
I've made  many files and folders in my computer for many topics discussed
on-line here, complete with who said what when. I can copy and save a piece
of text in no time flat. My daughter comes in to chat, I try to resist the
screen, its difficult. She said "I see you've adopted Lactnet as your new
daughter". Some evenings I don't see my sons for hours. My husband peeks in
to ask questions then quietly, sweetly, re-shuts the door. Guess that makes
him the enabler. Some evenings I avoid the computer  room completely. This
works well unless my husband gets his mail or gets online. "How much longer
you gonna be on?" I say casual-like. I'm trying to stay cool, can't
resist,..... "Get my mail!". My laundry is piled up in the family room, and
right now I'm missing my favorite show "ER", but I feel compelled to read and
learn. Is there a support group or step program for this situation? Let me
know if you find such help!
