I totally get what you're saying, Rachel. I get disgruntled when I'm sharing time with one of my adult kids or a friend and they start texting somebody. That's a pet peeve of mine.
But as for spending time here at CC, it's the best social media place I've found in all the years I've been online. My job offered me the benefit of working at home so I'm usually online anyhoo. I'm also a writer and am researching online regularly.
Most of all, there are some awesome people here of whom I've grown accustomed. ♥ I hope I get to meet some of them face to face someday. But for now, it blesses my heart to know they are right here.
