[FlowerGirl]

You know that your addicted when you get up in the morning and before you go to the bathroom or make a pot of coffee you have to check and see if there has been any new posts on WS!

lol guess he shouldve folded the clothes days ago men are capable of taking care of stuff too .. i dont do all the house stuff for my hubby i work too . so he can do it too rofl

Mr. Fandy was searching for clean underclothes..he folded the laundry be accident. it was a desperate attempt to get me to unglue myself from the puter.

 

[icherish]

when you talk to your hubby about it so much he cringes and rolles his eyes lol

LOL

How many of you have spouses or S/O's who talk with you about the case?

My husband watches NG with me and we do discuss some about the case. Note I said "some"...he is interested, not obsessed like me. :crazy:

I wish my husband was interested in the case. I have to explain to him every day who the key players are. I have a sneaking suspicion he tunes me out when I start talking about it. We've been married 19 years so he has gotten the "un-huhs, and hmms" down pat. I know when he starts saying that he isn't really listening.

you know you're addicted when your cats unplug your pc so you'll feed them and pay attention to them.

You know you're addicted when....
1. You change your daily wake up time from 6:30am to 5am just so you can log on to WS and check all the news sites before getting your husband up for work and your son up for school.
2. Your son knows more about the case than most adults we interact with...He is 9 and he is my sleuthing buddy. He even watches NG with me.
3. You put off going to the emergency room for almost a week because you don't want to get stuck there all day and miss an update...I ended up being rushed there the day she got re-arrested...It turned out that I had pleurisy, a lung infection, bronchitis, fluid on my lungs, and strep throat...I spent all night on IV fluids, having multiple breathing treatments, IV antibiotics, and various other medications...The funny thing is I had 2 docs working on me, and all I could do was try to look around them, because they were blocking the t.v. and NG was on...They yelled at me for waiting so long...But the next morning when they let me go home, the first thing I did was log on WS to look for any new updates...I probably should have gone to the ER sooner, but I didn't think it was that serious...As a side note, I'm still not completely better, but am getting there...

I just wanted to take a minute and thank everyone here for this thread...The levity is nice....And it's nice to be on a forum with people who care about Caylee as much as I do...People in my day to day life don't always understand why this case and this little girl is so important to me, but I know here on WS I feel like people understand...Thanks you guys.

You guys are so funny and I resemble many of these remarks. . .Now I gotta try me the "White Trash Margarita"--thanks Quick Attack!!!!

 

[cacnotcam]

I agree with so many of these!!!! My big one is just that my husband is asking mewhy I am always on the computer. LOL. DUH!

How about if they jump up and try to push it off your lap?

How does that First Step go? I confess that I have no control.....

Hey, folks! Do people ever look at you funny, when you begin to compulsively talk about the case in, say, grocery lines? Or, as it been too long since you've BEEN in a grocery line to remember.

 

[Brini]

You can hardly WAIT until Thursday, when the tabloids hit Vons.. and you did not used to READ the tabloids.

Just thought of another...

When you suddenly have a burning desire to own and train a cadaver dog. You envision yourself and your highly intelligent canine companion charging onto the scene of missing person cases across the USA. You are best of friends (since you lost most of your other friends). You and your dog are unstoppable. He/she seems to read your mind. You are helping families everywhere and "getting the bad guys" with your incredible skills as a team. Then you look down and notice your cat is giving you dirty looks (which he is doing right now).

OMG I dreampt about this last night!

I went to the grocery store yesterday with my husband and was shocked that they had rearranged the store. When I asked him when they had done that, he said that it had been that way for over a month.

Might be worse than that. Some of us REPRESENT these remarks! :-(

I just hope we don't end up on "Intervention."

Ha. They would have to rent a stadium to hold all of us that are addicted. I can just picture the interventionist saying "now the first step in getting well is to slowly hand over your laptop." Noooooooooo.

Step AWAY from the laptop, and show me your hands.

Anybody ever have a nightmare about Cindy being your nurse?
