I've never seen the reason for FB.  I think it's dumb in my opinion.  I too, should look at some of the blogs I read.  I may keep 1 or 2 but chuck the rest.  Good ideas JoyfulMother! 

I am also waiting on an e-mail address & reply from someone before I close down Facebook.

In spite of not being on forums, I can't believe I have already spent 2&1/2 hours reading various blogs this morning!  This last part is going to be the hardest.  I really want a good spiritual reading list and a good books reading list (fiction that is virtuous) that I can begin on.

I am also taking up knitting as a productive hobby that will allow me to make things for others and keep myself occupied.

Continued prayers please as I try to head down this path!  I really need some extra grace and strength to stay off the blogs now that I am off the other forums.

I was never a huge t.v. watcher but...I did enjoy a few shows.  After reading the replies I 've been inspired to give up the t.v. I can take it further & cut back on the internet usage as well.  I do love to read & have a lot of ebooks on my devices so I would continue that of course but no longer idle surfing.  Thanks for the inspiration!!  

Ty for the encouragement!

I agree with Patricia all around! Chin up you poor lady!

Very wise words ty!

Very tough, I can imagine. Your spouse is right. Silence and gentleness in the face of hostility will hopefully have more of an impact on them than arguments will.  I have come across some friends who were hostile Protestants and I gradually found myself distancing myself from them for my own peace of mind. 

Due to the nature of the original topic I posted, I have replaced it with this post instead.  I apologize if this is wrong but it bothered me.  I felt it was in poor taste.  I was feeling frustrated at that time of the posting.
