You Know You're Addicted to the Case When:

[nursebeeme]

WOW! Military? I always love your posts, by the way!

yes....17 years of it (gags lol).. And thanks. I love ws and love all of you! You are all truly friends!

Also, I started a candle thread for Caylee...different than the virtual thread. In mine you light a candle (real one) by your computer.

I'm an elementary teacher and all summer I've had SW pulled up on my laptop. Now that school has started back up... every day has been "shut up and color" day, while I check the updates here. (not really, but sometimes I'd like to...)

2. Two days ago your grown son moves out of your house for the first time in his life (on good terms) and instead of dreaming about what you can now do with his old bedroom, you suddenly realize cable TV is still hooked up in there and you will NEVER EVER have to fight your hubby again for the downstairs TV when NG is on or try to keep your eyes open with toothpicks to catch the midnight showing. You grab a lawn chair from the back porch, since there's no furniture in son's old bedroom and you blissfully have NG/interchanged with Greta and 20/20 all to yourself. You realize there might not be a reason to ever go back downstairs again. Grown son also left you his min-fridge.

standing ovation for suzet! dude you even got the fridge???? That is the utter and complete bomb! I feel like I should send you a congratulations on your new home card!

I find myself asking my sons "What do you mean you need help with your homework? Can't you see mommy is doing important work on the computer?
I think you need to go ask your dad."

They remind me that their dad is at work. lol

You have a desktop folder titled 'CMA' - and it's not about country music.

You are getting (somewhat) less irritated hearing NG mispronounce Caylee' name.

(Thanks for this thread, I think we all needed a bit of a break. :blowkiss

 

[icherish]

dude...nasty! (as nurse swishes and spits into her own coffee cup from two mornings ago)

:waitasec::::::::looks around own desk::::::::

:::::shamefully takes notice of coffee cup with inch of filmy coffee in it; dirty glass; bowl n' spoon melded together by sticky layer of congealed ice cream::::

 

[ThoughtElf]

On a more serious note, when you read in the TES thread that Christine2448 is working on setting up threads/links to resources state-by-state to help with organizing searches and assistance like you all helped with here in the CA case, you really feel proud to be amongst WS'ers.

 

[QuickAttack]

You spend a good portion of your Saturday morning learning about "degloving" on the Body Farm website, and go on to share this information with slightly stunned, fellow parents at your son's football game. Later, you realize, this may have been too much.

HAHAHA!

Probably got the same kind of reaction I got many years ago when I told the "relative humidity" joke to a group of fellow grad students.

You find yourself wondering, Hey, is Geraldo on tonight?

Hi, NB. Is Geraldo on tonight?

I KNOW...I try and I just can't replicate the way she butchers it..."Little Cay-lee"...UGH. Now I try to just focus on the fact that she rarely blinks her eyelids AT aLL once she has asked a question of her panel - until they answer.

I've got like 15 empty Little Debbies wrappers on the end table by the chaise where I sit when I'm on the laptop.

Yum. Ice cream. I think I need to go check the fridge.

I just had some rum raisin myself.

My inventory of desktop: used paper plate, dirty spoon, pair of socks, not clean?, goldfish cracker crumbs! candle for the smell of things. handwritten notes about the case - here, there, everywhere! Vitamins (for sustenance!) a novel (during downtime), glass of wine, highlighter and stapler.
:woohoo:

Thank you. I'm almost giddy. I love my son dearly, but you know. An empty room!!! DD19 wants to move into son's old room now because it has a cool ceiling and then grandson wants to claim DD19's room for his visits. I think maybe I will take an awfully looooooooooong time decorating son's old room. Maybe years, even.

You know you're addicted to the CA case when:

1. You see Patty G's siggy states pre-trial and trial dates for Nov 5 and 17 and you are already in a panic about real life getting in the way. You plot and plan, what can I do now to get it out of the way before November 5th. And is Thanksgiving really that important?

2. Two days ago your grown son moves out of your house for the first time in his life (on good terms) and instead of dreaming about what you can now do with his old bedroom, you suddenly realize cable TV is still hooked up in there and you will NEVER EVER have to fight your hubby again for the downstairs TV when NG is on or try to keep your eyes open with toothpicks to catch the midnight showing. You grab a lawn chair from the back porch, since there's no furniture in son's old bedroom and you blissfully have NG/interchanged with Greta and 20/20 all to yourself.

U GO GIRL!!!!:clap::clap::clap:

After reading through 14 pages of "You Know You're Addicted When..." posts, you snip and post some that are priceless so everyone can read them again...

You find yourself in a two hour long debate about whether something looks like an elbow or a teddy bear and all of a sudden you snap out of it and say "whoa... who am I?"

:doh: I spent hours adjusting the stupid “elbow/stuffed animal” pictures!! :doh:

You flunked high school chemistry, but you suddenly find that you know the chemical formula for chloroform.

Totally!!

Showers?!? You guys take showers? I haven't seen my razor in so long, you could braid the hair on my legs.

The other day my husband came home and I said "GUESS WHAT I took a shower today!!!" Like it was some kind of really great accomplishment!

You periodically yell BOMBSHELL and throw your arms up in the air and your grandkids just roll their eyes up.

When you read this thread outloud to your husband to prove you aren't obsessed.

This is all normal.

OMGosh, I totally did this!!!! :doh: LOL!!!!

You think to yourself, 'Ya, I really should wash this kitchen floor'

So you spit on it and rub your sock over the sticky bits. Then you just throw the socks out, cuz there is no time for laundry.

Seriously on the floor laughing my arse off over here!!!!

Your idea of an intimate moment is going into chat with Tony Padilla

Mmmm hmmmm. :blushing:

:: everybody wave to the addicted guests ::

Bwahahahahaha!!!!!!

 

[bunnyphoenix1]

Nu-uh!!! 8:49 - 8:59.

But I didn't brush toofies. I just grabbed a swish of Listerine on my way out of the bathroom, then just spit it out in an empty coffee cup on my desk.

Empty coffee cups can come in very handy...I have 3 around me at the moment....also empty take out food containers...they are great as mini garbage cans for around computers at times like this!
