I probably shouldn’t spend as much time here as I do. Maybe I’m a little selfish.

There are too many grumpy negative people on here...you are needed to bring the balance :)
Get you wife to join too.

Good for you. Sorry VIJ just had me hanging curtain rods.

I guess about the other question, I probably shouldn’t spend as much time here as I do. Maybe I’m a little selfish.

Not selfish! Unless you consider having fellowship with other believers selfish...when online, this is where I am like, 99% of the time, :eek: Lol.
I felt the same way, feeling like I was not reading the bible enough and on here too much but then I thought, this site has gotten me into SO much
scripture so, what is there to feel guilty about?? ♥

Wow, well done!!
The days are behind me now, when I could have a full day like that!!

I usually have furniture sold before I finish it. They go into the back room and see what I'm working on and buy it before its even finished! Otherwise, I would work much slower, I'm sure! Lol

But its much easier than what I used to do. I did faux finishes and was always two stories up on scaffolding, painting murals and clouds on ceilings, up and down ladders. Painting furniture is easier!

Okay, someone else has to share some pics. Maybe of your dog? Your garden? A collection? A painting? Does anyone draw or paint? Heck, I'd even like to see a pic of a room you decorated in your house! :D

You go through stages where you spend more time in here and you lay off for a bit. At least I do. Had a lot of time recently because a long 3 day weekend with Easter and shop's closed Mon and tues, and I couldn't go anywhere because jaw, neck and whole side of face were swollen and throbbing. Then I just decided to take it easy this mon and tues also to fully recuperate for sure.

Its the most time I spent in here since like...November?

Don't feel guilty. We have seasons of rest and seasons of busy.

I also don't have a spouse to have to please. Got a rotten Cairn Terrier though.

Yeah. I actually read MORE scripture because I want to check out a verse someone references or something and then I look up and realize I just kept reading 5 chapters past the verse!

"Got a rotten Cairn Terrier though." Hahaha!
I read along time ago in a small booklet titles "There Are No Bad Dogs". It listed several good and or bad characteristics of several breeds. The Cairn was the ONLY that had listed as "none" under the "bad" characteristics! Lol...so I take it from your post, your Cairn did not get the memo?:D
Like you I have no spouse but, I do have 3 mini schnauzers who keep me amused :) and Jazzy can be a rotten little rascal! I will try to insert their pics...
