You tell your co-workers that your friends Rick and Marybeth gave you some great recipes this weekend and they have no idea that you have never met these "friends".

You drive in the left lane of a double lane highway to practice up for island driving.

...you check this forum everyday, a few times a day, as if it is a newsfeed with "breaking news from St John lovers".
...you get pissed when there are no trip reports waiting for you on Monday morning.

You check this forum before....
the weather,
school closings,
your own e-mail,
when insomnia hits,
when your sick of your weather outside your house,
when someone else tells you THEY are going to the islands....!!

You have to check it several times a day even at work where you may be risking your job.
You get so frustrated when the internet goes down.
You fight with your kids over the computer.
You feel like you know these people personally and like you have met even when you haven't.
(I go on it when I have insomnia too, Sitter.)

You call your spouse during an important meeting, in a panic, when you lose your internet access.

When you wonder if you should practice snorkeling in the bathtub.
(MaryBeth, I have it bookmarked, but the window is usually opened anyway;))

When your little man walks into the computer room to play Sims or Rollercoaster Tycoon and stomps off frustrated and yells "sister, can I play on your laptop, moms on the freakin boards AGAIN!"

You all crack me up!
I say "ditto" to all of the above and
... when you start every conversion with, "Good morning/afternoon/evening." Even my coworkers are doing it now.

When you unload the dishwasher,
refresh,
help the kids with their homework,
refresh,
do a little laundry,
refresh, . . .
