You Know You're Addicted to the Case When:

[DawnTCB]

You spend hours and hours poring over aerial footage to find pictures of a house 14 hours away that you might have seen in a 15 second segment in a motion-sickness inducing, over-exposed video that might OR MIGHT NOT have anything relevant to do with the case anyway. But at least you are helping, right?

This thread is hilarious! Why have I not visited before now?

I'm not really addicted to the case, but this morning I told my husband that I had a telephone appointment with Amy H. instead of the similar sounding name of the person calling. He said "are you sure it's not Zani"? He watches NG and keeps up with the case, but my daughter demanded that we change channels when she visited the other night. She can't understand why NG has to talk about that all the time.

okay, might as well finish this off in Letterman style...

so,

Number 9: When you get to work in the morning, the first thing you look for is the Current News Updates of the Day forum on WS (even though you looked at it for at least 30 minutes before you left the house).

and

DRUM ROLL

Number 10: Restarting your computer feels like it takes 20x longer than it ever has, and never mind any files that may be lost, what forum was I in?

Your supposed to restart your computer???

Ok I have one more... I am not a huge astrology fan but I do read my HS from time to time, today mine said:

It's hard to know if you have gone deep enough, for the more you dig, the more you learn. At some point, however, you must finish your research and actually put what you've learned to practical use. Once you accept that your investigation has uncovered a bottomless pit, you'll be more likely to stop spinning your intellectual wheels and get to work, applying your wealth of knowledge.

and I knew right away that clearly this about my time spent on this case lately. I used to mostly lurk and have had some slow work days recently and now... clearly, a bottomless pit.

When you should have gone to the doctors office for your sinus infection but cancelled because there where too many more houses to check out to see if they could be the mystery house on the PI tape to loose a 1/2 day away from the computer

The second you get your laptop hooked up to your bigscreen TV to watch netflix movies, you realize you can rewatch Cindy's interview with the FBI and really check out the body language. When you say this out loud, your husband says he will divorce you, and you call dibs on the bigscreen and the laptop.

When you notice that one of your favorite adversarial voices on the WS message board has been sent to time out and you'll be saddened until they return.
