let's start a "you know you're addicted to DU when..." thread!

[pres2032]

You know you're addicted to DU when...

you name your kids Matcom and yvr girl.

You know more inside jokes with your DU friends than your real friends, in fact you have more friends on DU than in real life.

you begin to think cats are actually cute.

5. At work you e-mail "I just (insert job function here)! Ask me anything!"

[zbdent]

6. Immediately after posting a message, you hit the "My Posts" page

8. You know more about your DU friends

than your other friends.

[Karenina]

9. it provides you with a closeness

and a distance of your own choosing that you are unable to establish with homo sapiens in your immediate physical sphere.

[matcom]

10. so I have a nephew named Matcom?

:7

[pres2032]

26. yup, cute little bugger

[qanda]

11. It becomes one of your New Year's Resolutions

To stop spending so much time here.

[Not_Giving_Up]

13. You dream all night long about posting

I've done this now for three nights straight, and I'm darn tired of it. I don't feel like I get any sleep because Freepers won't leave me alone. The other night, I dreamed that while on DU I got hacked, and DU turned pink, orange, and green, and wouldn't let me post.

[madinmaryland]

15. You get home and tell your wife

about all the people you talked to today, and then you realize there was no one in the office today!

[yardwork]

17. You begin every conversation with your husband with....

"Today in the DU Lounge somebody posted...."

[GOPBasher]

18. You're a high school teacher and you give kids a worksheet to work on,

so you can sit at the computer and respond to this thread. Yes, I am serious; why do you ask?

Man, I hate when I'm interupted in the middle of writing a post to sign someone's pass.

[yvr girl]

19. People you've never met are naming their kids

after you. (Either that or they were conceived in the Vancouver airport.)

[Scout]

20. you got fired from your job

because you could not stay off DU at work, and had no computer at home to use for DU!

[GOPBasher]

23. I hope I don't get fired for that! I don't have the internet at home.

And I'm a teacher with internet access all day. I can't stay off this thing.

[LynzM]

24. You're worried about getting caught

But can't stop coming here, dammit! It's addicting!

[WritersBlock]

21. Your other half asks if there is a DU Spouse Support Group.

Really happened! :D

[bling bling]

33. LOL.

You're other half could hang out with mine!! Anytime my husband sees me walking toward my office he says "THERE SHE GOOOOOEESSS... OFF TO THE DU."

[tigereye]

40. my husband teases me, too

about being on DU too much. And I find myself laughing about something I heard here and telling him about my buddies here. And then I think, hmmm, maybe I need to tell him more about my "real-time" friends.

[the Princess]

22. You forget to cook dinner

because you're posting stupid threads on DU!!

[kick-ass-bob]

25. when someone says something about underpants

and all you can think of is scrolling underwear with eyes on them...

[CO Liberal]

29. You Start Posting Copycat Messages on Your Company's E-Mail System

:-)

[Longgrain]

31. KEECK!

[bling bling]

32. Kick

This is page 10 in the lounge. The fact that I've just combed through the headlines on 10 pages in the lounge is evidence inofitself of my addiction to DU, I'd say.
