5. Repeat Steps 1-4.

Perfect, Jerseyboy!

When the computer is always on and logged onto this forum (of course) so all you have to do is hit refresh multiple times per HOUR......and.....when you live here and you still get upset that there is no new "trip report"

When you are only home for 10 minutes in between the kids' swimming lessons and ortho. appts., and you go straight to the computer to see what you've missed on the forum.

- When your argument with your husband is "but, Fla George, said we needed a soft side rolling cooler"

- When he says "we need a Neet Sheet" (we already had one - got a second just in case)

- When you nearly cause an accident trying to catch up to that car that just past you because it had a STJ oval on the bumper that looks just like yours and you want to know if he/she is a forumite.

- When you get home from work and the question what's new really means what's new on St. John.

- When running out of Cruz Bay grill rub is grounds for divorce.

When the meetings I attend always start: "Hello, my name Bert, and I'm a US Virgin Island Chat Board User..........."

When you feel the need to confess:

While most people around here are preparing for the big nor'easter by stocking up on groceries, I drove across town to the liquor store that carries Cruzan rum, bought some, came home and mixed a batch of painkillers to enjoy while watching the weather. Yup, I'm ready now

And you know they all understand...

When I Tevo "House" so that I can read the new trip report...and I just got back from St. John on Saturday.

[mahobayb]

when you're using toothpicks to hold your eyelids open cuz you just have to read one more thread

[mia]

When I found myself feeling disappointed yesterday because visiting the forum was very lonely. Does this mean that you folks(unlike me)have lives?

[beachluvers]

He He... me too, Mia!

When you find yourself still in your robe, lap top in lap, unable to put it down and take a shower...and yes, I've been here researching old threads for 3 or 4 hours! GEEZ!!!!

[sea-nile]

When you are in Florida and go on the forum more than at home (temp. is in the 50's and windy).

I might actually have the worst tale of all: The other night I actually had a dream and the forum was in it!

I am reading a novel about Venice right now, set in the mid-1500's, and I fell asleep while reading the book. I ended up having a dream that John and I were in Venice during that time, and it was Carnival, and we were going to see the fireworks in full masked regalia, watching from our gondola. Anyway, we pulled up to watch, surrounded by other finely dressed people in their gondolas, and then, it occured to me, as it only can in dreams, that everyone surrounding us, in their masks, were members of the usvi online forum! And, when the fireworks started, I knew that Jorge was the pyrotechnician! What were all of you people doing in Venice?

The lesson from this is either that I am spending too much time on the forum or that I should not check the forum and then fall asleep while reading an intriguing book.

That is a riot....I think your dream may take the prize ...mia
