DAMN you bloggers (too many of you to mention) who wrote about the virtues of Google Reader! What started out as a small folder of Blogs on my Favorites toolbar has now morphed into a L-O-N-G list of subscriptions on Google Reader. Sure, Google Reader has made my blog reading more efficient, but now it's so efficient that I've discovered I can read many, MANY more blogs!
The upside to this is that a whole new world has opened up to me, and being the introvert that I am this is a good thing, but now I'm wondering just how long the list of blogs, and blog searches on specific topics, will get. Will there ever be enough? Will I constantly feel the overwhelming need to find more? Will my legacy be something like the cat lady with 257 felines living in her home, only reference my obsession with blogs?
Anyone know of a 12-step program that can help me??

I have never used Google Reader, but my advice to you is to drink heavily. Cheers!!
I haven't yet tackled the Google Reader, I still have all my blogs saved in my bookmarks on Yahoo!
Jay turned me on to the wonders of Google Reader and I can't imagine life without it! I love my GR! LOL!
"Will I constantly feel the overwhelming need to find more?"
My experience tells me the answer to this is YES. ;-)
I now have 60+ blogs in my GR. GR made it so much easier to read them that I doubled the number I have. And it keeps growing!
Matt-Man, if you ever delve into the world of Google Reader, you'll need to drink heavily (or is that more heavily)?!
Leighann, DON'T DO IT!! You'll turn in to a GR whore in a matter of moments! Stay away!!
RockDog, You and Jay are partially responsible for my addiction. I'll get you back for that one of these days!
Jay, you aren't making me feel any better here - just feeding my addition!
Another thing I probably should learn to use, but then again maybe not????
Sassy, all that I can say is be careful ... be very, VERY careful!
The reader is awesome... but daunting. When I log onto it sometimes my eyes pop out of their sockets looking at all the updated blogs that I now have to read... no mere 5 minutes will do here!
Thanks for the visit. I haven't looked at GR and it's probably better that way from what I'm hearing. So many blogs...so little time.
REH, I find GR not daunting, but addicting. Not that I have the type of personality that would lend itself to that type of behavior or anything.
Jeff B, thanks for stopping by! I really am enjoying your story!!
I don't know what the Hell you're talking about, and have no intention of looking further...
I found you/you found me- don't spoil my fantasies that you used some advanced search engine....
Buffalodickdy, good news! I did find you before finding Google Reader. I'll never spoil any of your fantasies!
