You Know You're Addicted to the Case When:

Back in the day, my girlfriends use to refer to that as a P T A bath. anyone else familar with that term? wish I could explain in detail, but I don't want to get banned again!!!!

I know about the PTA bath,Lovejac, but then again, I live near you! May be a local term.

I had to go to the chiropractor, yesterday, for the crick in my neck from being on laptop for 10-12 hours at a time....

 

[Patty G]

I get "did you solve it yet?" at least 5 times a day - with a chuckle, too.

smack him for me ... will ya!

 

[ThoughtElf]

lol...I was going to say that to begin with lol...we still call it that in the hospital (I am an open heart nurse) pits, t$ts and a$$

I love all you guys and your wittiness so much. Smartest, kindest, funniest people around.

I think we all needed this today.

Harleysnana, Poco, Ceeker you are too accurate and too funny. But is it addiction or is it obsession? Hybridobsiction, I suppose.

 

[Patty G]

I don't get it. Please send me the answer, Ms P

Are you setting me up?

 

[ThoughtElf]

That sounds a little dangerous.

Hint...giving up the baths cuts down on intimacy requests. You never have to miss NG.

:woohoo:

I actually told my husband I hadn't showered yet. He backed off real fast.

1. You have one window open for websleuths
2. Another one open for the live web cam
3. Another one open to the guy driving around in his car (forgot this name)
and when your husband comes in the room you tell him your "working"

#1 and 2 but you have to have the mobile truck cam, wesh, and any other orlando tv stations that run live news on the web!:crazy:

Yep, My grammy's favorite. Kept us from hauling all of that water in the house. LOL just kidding

 

[Patty G]

forget it - I got it.

OMG - lmao

I thought you would see Ms Nurse's post.

 

[CeeKer]

Thanks for clarifying that! I would have obsessed for hours trying to figure it out!!!

 

[Jolynna]

No I think the rest of us are just foregoing showers! I definately think you get the prize!

That cuts down on the intimacy requests.

You never have to miss Nancy Grace.

lol...I've told my hubby that several times this week!

 

[QuickAttack]

Ermmmm....nevermind.

 

[Betty Boop]

1. You are self-employed and you call in sick

2. You get suspicious looks from the owner of the Pontiac Sunfire you parked next to in the grocery store parking lot (all I did was inspect it a little for research purposes -- sheesh)

3. You have little stickie notes stuck here and there with notes like "chloroform can be used for huffing or cleaning"

:crazy:

Haven't read thread yet (Gators are playing) but it's funny you asked:

1. To QA: You may not remember, but several weeks ago I thanked you profusely for linking the Two Texas detectives theories. I was glad to hear experienced, reasoned thoughtful opinion of events and felt that I could "get back to normal life". I was good for about 5 days, then lurking again, now. . .
2. I couldn't get comfortable in bed last night with upper back pain. And my muscles that I use to scroll and click and type and refresh are the same muscles needed to load the dishwasher full of the past 3-4 days' dishes which I've been ignoring. OUch!

Plus my mom and 2 sisters are hooked also. Feel like I'm swirling in the vortex of Caseyland.

LOL! At this point he's so desparate, I don't think he cares out the "no shower" stuff anymore. BUT I have an ace in the hole, I just say "I'm turning on Nancy Grace now" and he runs out of the room so fast his feet never touch the floor! (he hates NG and he hasn't caught on that she's not on 24 hours a day)

 

[ThoughtElf]

Your hand just automatically right clicks and hits refresh every 10 seconds - just like the web cam.

 

[SeriouslySearching]

...when I have to tell Blink that she needs to clean her pms. (It tells me she is as "addicted" as I am because she used to laugh at me for that one.)

...when my new dog has to learn a new language to get me up from the computer for "time to go". (He has resorted to telling me that "Timmy is in the well" as near as I can tell before I jump up to take him out.)

...when I resort to watching AMW again.

...when I find myself stopping by the "webcam" thread and stay more than ten minutes to stare at a house.

Oh my god...has that really been several weeks ago? So I've basically done NOTHING for the past three weeks? :blush:
