Last year he asked me to<br />quit. Two days later my blog won an award, which meant prizes. He liked<br />that. Next time he wanted me to quit, I blogged about a Game Stop contest<br />and won over $2000 worth of merchandise. He's on board now, just doesn't<br />want to hear about it all the time. Hey, that sounds like your husband!<br />lolTonya @ Live the Adventurehttp://thetravelingpraters.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4560147757426354807.post-68610374297538134262011-05-11T20:56:43.448-05:002011-05-11T20:56:43.448-05:00My husband is the same way!

He used to make fun of me but like any other hobby we each have, we are still supportive of each other...he just doesn't want to hear about it all the time! :-) Recently, he has started to see the benefits that it has for our family now that I am working at trying to turn it into a business and do a little bit more with it. He totally still makes fun of me when I open up twitter even though he has met some of my "imaginary friends" as he calls them!Jenhttp://twitter.com/twokidsandamapnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4560147757426354807.post-48789230420856277052011-05-11T16:04:37.986-05:002011-05-11T16:04:37.986-05:00Gah, I meant to say their blogs are vastly differe...Gah, I meant to say their blogs are vastly different... :) And I guess you are right, while many of us wouldn't want to compete, someone would probably not play so nice.<br /><br />Glad to hear you guys are back to fairly normal. We have friends in Madison who just recently got their power back. Thankfully we weren't really put out at all, but then that also makes you feel guilty. We've donated money to the food banks of the affected areas and I'm trying to work with my Girl Scout troop to work on some volunteering.Tiffany Manleynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4560147757426354807.post-91474326988840054872011-05-11T15:59:30.504-05:002011-05-11T15:59:30.504-05:00Tiffany, Our side of town is pretty much back to n...Tiffany, Our side of town is pretty much back to normal. Our water has been<br />a bit gross- not sure what's up with that because we never lost our water.<br />We aren't drinking it now though. :( Our power was only out for 5 days- I've<br />heard it rumored that some here still don't have power because they need to<br />rebuild so many of the power lines, etc. How about you?<br /><br />The blogging group I'm in is also vastly different but the nice thing about<br />that is that there really isn't any competition. I imagine if all the blogs<br />were similar, that ugly monster would raise it's head. I hope you check out<br />this new network- I'm there as well. :) Not that you need to sign up just<br />because I'm there. lolTonya @ Live the Adventurehttp://thetravelingpraters.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4560147757426354807.post-39483957540724011732011-05-11T15:46:05.010-05:002011-05-11T15:46:05.010-05:00I just began participating in a group similar to t...I just began participating in a group similar to this run by Tonya at Blogelina. I enjoy the group, my only complaint would be that the women are vastly different, which makes for great interaction, but sometimes on the blogging end it's a bit hard. For instance, one woman's blog is completely devoted to her beginning home sales jewelry type business. Aside for general design and things like that, it's hard to really get involved you know?<br /><br />Anyway, I think I might look into joining this group; heading over to read about it right now.<br /><br />I'm sure I missed it, but are you guys getting back to normal now?Tiffany Manleynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4560147757426354807.post-16488360201520924162011-05-11T13:48:54.146-05:002011-05-11T13:48:54.146-05:00I did check it out Tonya, I thought about trying t...I did check it out Tonya, I thought about trying to be one of the 40 for free membership, I had to stop and think the long haul after the one year then membership fees kick in. I wouldn't want to get involved then feel I might have to pull away due to membership fees. My husband totally would not understand any fees.Debbiehttp://whisperswhispering.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4560147757426354807.post-29171352081163644602011-05-11T13:45:33.988-05:002011-05-11T13:45:33.988-05:00Great, Lisa!

He does enjoy my<br />Facebook page though because we both keep up with people that way. Twitter?<br />He's clueless! lol Did you take a peek at the Connections Network?

I have had a great little ring of blogging friends this past year, but I want more. I in vision my blog being more, if that makes sense.Debbiehttp://whisperswhispering.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
