BYB, in another thread in another section, stated:
No one is in danger of losing his/her job, spouse, social standing, or anything else if he or she forgoes the opportunity to respond to every single comment ...
And yes, it's a little out of context and not complete, but this is the bit that struck me, and I've acknowledged the faults with my quote, so flame me not.
I know I have some difficulties over the amount of time I spend on the board sometimes, particularly on wet weekends like the one just past.
Without necessarily going into specifics, what reaction do the rest of you get from those around you over the time you spend here?

I can safely say that, if my boss found out I was posting messages of this nature during core work time it would be less than a pleasant reaction! AWAD is my little secret....

Well, when I was at home, my dad insisted that I was completely wasting my time, even after I explained to him the purpose and content of the board. Whatever. Now that I'm at college, there's nothing he can do, so nyah nyah nyah.

I keep my husband updated on all the AWAD friends, and on any especially interesting exchanges. In some ways, he regards you all as friends of his as well, and is looking forward to meeting many of you at Wordapalooza! And, he is preparing a trivia contest for W!

Pearl, she of the Bichon Frise persuasion, gets a bit miffed when I am slow to feed her or let her out. Otherwise she is content on her pillow next to my desk. The only problem I have is when I am in converstion and someone stops me asking "Is this a person from your Board?" So basically the only problem I have is with complaints from friends that the phone is busy when they call ... "Were you on the Board again?" is the question I get often. Lately I have been embroiled in a couple of projects which require waiting for call-backs so I can't spend fun time on the Net.  Now that the board's so much faster I do get more chances to post. Thank you, Anu!

Flirt, she of the Border Collie persuasion, is pleased to know where I can be found for a game of fetch the ball [or the rope, or the frisbee, or the...]. But she becomes much more alert when she hears from the computer-speakers the logoout sound of "Good-by".

Dear Keiva: I am interested to hear your Border Collie will fetch. Not one of the six we had would, even acting as though the ball was thrown with intent to harm them. Incidentally, a friend sent me an e-mail about duck hunters in Michigan throwing a stick of dynamite intending to create some open water to put decoys in, only to have black Lab retrieve it and blow up their big buck Mercedes. I suspect a hoax.

Saffie, she of the Keeshond persuasion, just comes and sheds over me. Doesn't matter whether I'm on the Board or not. She does, however, give me funny looks when I laugh out loud at a machine. The only machine she finds a laughing matter is the microwave, her television.
