I have a few friends who twitter and tried to get me into it so I tried it and lost the will to live.

How are you?" <br />Him: "Fine." <br />and so on, until the monosyllabic responses and lengthy silences get to me and I tell him I have to go now as my other telephone stalker is holding.

I think I spend too long on it, and I only have a weeny house and no children or teens. And Jane, because of your counter thing, and Milla putting up the post in the c. room, I put a counter on my dove blog and since doing so have had 27 'hits'. Ok not many you say, but none of those people have left a comment, and I wonder how and why they came in the first place.
