My 2 cents, spend it wisely.

I know the online phenomonon is a whole new world to explore and become anything you desire, if you desire to change your identity, however, I also know the computer can ruin lives. I have witnessed it, I have case studies involving online splits. Couples who's partners feel they can no longer compete with a machine. Children who feel unimportant and move on to things they might not have gotten involved with, had they had their absentee parent to guide them. If you have no children and you are single, or you share the online experience with your DH, so be it. But always remember to make time for the important things in life; you and your family. A computer can provide only a limited amount of comfort and then that fades as well, especially when you meet abusive onliners. Time management is important. Try writing a schedule; make time for yourself, your hubby, your children, your home, and then your computer. Enjoy the finer things in life. Take a walk, ride a bike, visit a park, try something new. LIFE is wonderful...live it. ;-)
