Agree.

We are still back and forth as we have not sold our house in MS yet. So when we get there full time I would love to meet everyone. Keep posting!! Please

I hope you sell it soon! We lived in Jackson from '84-'91

Welcome home to TV!

I multi-task. So when I'm on the course I have my I phone in one hand and my golf club in the other.

We do a thorough cleaning once a week and so i have a vacuum in one hand and my Ipad in the other.

when we travel I have one hand on my I phone and the other holding back the fly attendant telling me to turn my phone off.

and you wondered why I had so many keyboard mistakes

Actually, the OP may be on to something. I didn't realize how empty my life is... perhaps tomorrow I'll get a ball and spend a few hours walking around knocking it into a hole with a stick. That's certainly a worthwhile endeavor.

Yep.

Exactly. Whatever floats your boat.

I'm always checking things out here, with my ipad or computer. In the morning I read the news on computer, do a puzzle (while drinking my coffee). I've had my 2 grandsons this week, so cooked breakfast, then we all went out on the pontoon boat, came back, did 2 loads of wash, went to Publix, and in between I still check out different sites on the internet. Oh....an hour nap. This is all before 5 pm... LOL

I sit in front of my computer all day long and do nothing but respond to posts on TOTV.

Before moving here on 5/17; my job in KC afforded me the time to be on the internet as much as I wanted to; therefore, I was on TOTV a lot and was able to respond to a lot of posts. Since moving here, time on TOTV mainly been confined to evenings; spending a lot of daytime working in yard, unpacking boxes - all the "need to do stuff" when you first move. Hopefully, most of that "need to do stuff" will be done by the end of next week and I can start enjoying all this "free" time.

Dbussone, we live in Tupelo, I am not working now so I go back and forth. It has only been on the market 3 months. We are in a good area so hopefully it will soon.
