Sometimes I go by someone's blog and I either a) don't have anything to add; b) don't have the time to actually post, but just trying to check in.<BR/><BR/>I can figure out most of the people from their locations, but others go through some sort of filter thing and doesn't give details. It's interesting to see which blogs they come from - hitting links. I can sometimes figure out who it is when they "blogroll". I'm not trying to see who's coming by or not, but I love to put up the world map and see the clusters. I have a LOT of clusters around the New England area of the states (Northeast for those unfamiliar), which means I have a lot of New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvanis, Massachusetts, etc. - I know who they are. *waving*<BR/><BR/>Don't let the wall get to you. Sometimes if you leave it alone, time will work on the wall and it will crumble all on it's own. So go off and do something different. You'll be surprised at what happens when you go back.<BR/><BR/>Okay, enough with my procrastinating. I have one load of laundry done, one about to go in the dryer, and tons of other things that have to be done - that's part of my wall and I won't get around that part until I hit at this stuff. Like taking Christmas down?

The wall I experienced after 33,000 words won my last battle. I'm now supposed to be working on a brand new wip, but I'm scared to start - I couldn't bear to get another wall...<BR/><BR/>Best wishes on extricating the splinter and not letting the wall win.<BR/><BR/>Ooh, have you seen me lurking? Sometimes I don't have time to comment which I guess makes me a lurker?! At least your new gadget lets you know people are still there even when you can't 'see' them.<BR/><BR/>Sue :-)Susan Rixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14886401948164523860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23142127.post-1169384736571439812007-01-21T07:05:00.000-06:002007-01-21T07:05:00.000-06:00Bailey!

It's on the ball (I think that's what it's called) of the palm, so I'd have to soak the entire hand. I'll probably do it tonight. I've just got to let it fester because I can't dig it out.
