It’s a(n amazing) time suck for me. I really do need to spend less time here but, like all the comments above, I find CC a great outlet for whatever’s on my mind and many things that aren’t but, perhaps, should be. There is a community here that feels safe and more than virtual to me. Every time I try to leave, I feel I’m walking away from friends.
So, how do I use CC? I leave it up on my iPad and check in throughout the day to see what the chatter is. I’m mostly in the cafe now, but I still read the prep forum, and I check the service academy sub forums daily to see if anyone has posted as those areas don’t get of a lot of traction, and I might be able to contribute based on our recent experience with our son’s journey.
