You Know You're Addicted to Cs When...

In summary, you log off to cook dinner, and keep asking the cupboards their opinion about the recipe. Your husband says "Ann who?" and you can't because you just have to see if you are the thread killer. You turn the iron on and it auto-turns itself off because you went back to the CS site. When you try to explain who all your friends are, your internet connection goes down and you drive to the nearest Starbucks with your laptop to satisfy 2 fixes. Your husband says "Get off the computer!" and you can't because you just have to see if you are the thread killer.

You're somewhere with a public computer and you just pop on to see if there's anything new and exciting and you just can't leave!!
 
  • #53
oh and when you think you have to respond to everything...especially the ones that have nothing to do with your business....!

You know you're addicted to CS when . . .You spend Valentine's Day becoming stripper, and it has nothing to do with taking your clothes off.You feel a deep-seated need to view every new post before logging off.You eat your breakfast before church at your computer so you can keep up with CS.

Ha! Almost every morning I have cereal right here, while checking the posts:D You all are my breakfast buddies!

And yes, it is almost abnormal again here:p

I definitely check before work, at work, and of course all night long :) ...and on the weekends when I am at my Mom's! And, instead of having to go to the site all of the time, I just leave it open...and then I can hit "new posts" when I walk up to, or by the computer!

You know you're addicted to CS when . . .You burn your husband's breakfast because you got caught up in the You know you're addicted to CS when . . . thread. http://www.thesmilies.com/smilies/ashamed0001.gif




My very sweet, understanding, furry husband insisted I post this. I really did it. I had the raisins and water started for his morning oatmeal, then got caught up in this thread. The water all boiled away and the raisins began to burn before I remembered I had stuff on the stove. Yes, I did make him a new saucepan of oatmeal with raisins. Now I've just gotta clean out the burned raisins.

Just buy packages of instant - toss him a pack, tell him to throw it in the atom smasher so you can go read about the latest hijackings.
 
  • #67
He doesn't like instant. Since he is the best husband I could ever ask for, I make his oatmeal. It's a small price to pay for a sweet, caring, funny man who puts up with me and encourages my PC and CS habits.

Your spouse wants to go out to eat, and you say, "Just another minute, I'm checking new posts." 30 minutes later you leave. :)

Yep. 1600 is the new magic number.
 
  • #82
Quick - hurry up and get to 2700 to get your pink star before that one changes again, too!
 
  • #83
KG, are you upset a little about the star thing?

Just checking...
 
  • #84
I think I should change my picture...I'm just a little too goofy there!
 
  • #85
I think we should all change our pics to look like we've had one too many, LMAO!!
 
  • #86
I totally DID have too many the night that pic was taken! I know, terrible, but I thought it was a fun pic that showed off my personality!

I would, but then I might be called that bad word. You know what I'm talking about.Actually, I'm a little sad that I won't be able to tell anyone I'm a stripper anymore. I guess I can always tell them I was a stripper for a few weeks. I suppose that's another sign I'm addicted to CS. Huh?

Only a "few" weeks.... I think that qualifies you!!














it's okay! I think it's become a badge of honor of sorts.
 
  • #89
Ann, I guess it's okay, as long as the cupboards don't answer you back! I'm so addicted too! When I talk to my DH, I refer to my friends on here as
"Cheffers". When I say that....he knows who I'm talking about!

Upset? Not really. Even a little? Nah.

Annoyed? That might be a better word - sort of like a mosquito bite. We had an entire thread about this in another forum, where we used some satire and humor to point out the absurdity of a moving target. (The best way to point out aburdity is to be absurd but apparently, not eveyone gets that.)

There are some people who were a little miffed when they got to an old level and didn't get their star and I'm just expressing my empathy for them.

When I got my new drivers license the year I turned 21, I blinked when the pic was taken. I looked like I was on drugs. That was before digital at the DMV (now, they show it to us and we can OK it). I used it at a liquor store at college when I was making a purchase to take to a party. The clerk was giving it the evil eye, so I told her, "I know, out of state license, you want to make sure it's genuine. But honestly, does anyone put a picture THAT bad on a fake?"
 
  • #92
LOL! That is how my passport pic is! They always check me twice for drugs because I look too high in my pic to even realize I have a passport!
