  125. I haven't started blogging yet...for the very reason you mentioned with your first blog.....cyber space eating it.....So much of what I post goes off into lala land. Maybe one day I will 'master' the ability to post without anything 'going missing'. I am glad to know it isn't just me..that it happens to other people too!!!! Our thoughts must be greater than the internet can process, therefore they are eaten by the internet to gain knowledge.....that's my theory and I am sticking to it! :)
