Well, today I got out of my car and headed to the porch.  I saw a box near the mailbox.  I got a little excited!  I began to wonder WHO had been so kind as to send me a gift, and then WHAT was in the package!!!   As I reached the top of the landing, my bubble burst all over the front porch!  The box was an exact replica of the one I had sent Priority Mail to Ophray (couldn't wait for Ophray to read my story . . .  I figured she would take it with her while she was on a flight to somewhere).  Yes, it was an exact replica allright . . .it was MY box.  HARPO does not accept unsolicited mail.  Well, first of all, I realize that Ophray didn't send it back . . . it was her staff.  Second of all,  It was not "mail" in my eyes, it was my LIFE!!!!  It had cost me approximately $5,95 to send my LIFE to Ophray only to find that the Queen of bolstering America's self  esteeem had returned it back to sender--ME.  I have decided not to open up the box.  It will remain that way forever.  Not even when Caught in the Net becomes successful.  As a matter of fact, when I am asked to be a guest on the Ophray Show, I will bring the box with me as a testimony to Never Giving Up!   Delusional?  No, I just know I have a good story . . . one that could  easily be made into a Lifetime Movie and oh . . . good enough to sit next to Ophray and tell her all about the year I got Caught in the Net!

Since I have published my book, I have spent time wondering whatever became of the people I had either met on line just by writing to them or who I had actually met face to face?  I would like to hear from people who had spent time in the Hopelessly Romantic chat room.  Anyone out there?

Well it has been since March that I first posted my Blog for internet addiction and to date, no one has commented.  I guess that means that there are no internet addicts out there.  Come on!  I know you are out there--en force!  The internet is fascinating and captivating . . . otherwise you wouldn't see people using computers at work . . .spending hours "just looking for a good buy on Ebay or Craigs List."  By, the way, just in case you are wondering why there aren't more posts from me . . . the head hancho blogger person . . . I didn't know I was supposed to write often.  I just thought I started it and YOU finished it . . .  but now I know more how this is done . . . so you will hear a lot more about me and my thoughts.
