Addicted To The Internet?
YOU MIGHT BE ADDICTED TO THE INTERNET IF:~~~
 Tech Support calls "You" for help... You watch T.V. with the closed captioning turned on... You have called out someone's screen name while making love to your significant other... You keep begging your friends to get an account so "we can hang out".. Three words: Carpal Tunnel Syndrome You want to meet a guy and your first impulse is to turn on your computer... You've ever gotten onto an airplane just to meet some folks face to face... You have to get a second phone line just so you can call Domino's... You have ever joined "Si habla Espanol" (spanish chat room) "just to work on my spanish"... You've ever typed "drinking on-line is better than drinking alone"... You go into labor and you stop to type a special e-mail letting everyone know you are going to be away... You have a vanity car tag with your screen name on it... You no longer type with proper punctuation, capitalization, or complete sentences... You have met over 100 on-liners... You begin to say "LOL" instead of laughing... When someone says "What did you say?" you reply "Scroll up!"... You find yourself sneaking away to the computer in the middle of the night when your spouse is asleep... You turn down the lights and close the blinds so people won't know you are on-line again... You know more about your on-line friends daily routines than you do your own spouse's... You change screen names so much that you have to get your profile to see who you are (identity crisis here)... You open your home to 15 strangers for a week merely because they have computers and cool screen names... Your kids are standing at your side saying "Mommy, please come cook dinner" and you would rather type another "LOL"... You marry your cyber boyfriend/girlfriend and you both sit at your own computers and chat to each other every night from across the room... You type messages to people while you are on the phone with them at the same time... You won't work at a job that doesn't have a modem involved... Your dog leaves you... You have to ask what year it is... You are doing things more and more that you swore you would never, ever do when you first found chat... You write a letter like this..."dear tom, hiyas! how r u doin well i gotta go bbl!"... You name your pets after people you talk to on-line... You smile sideways... You sign on a imediately get 10 messages from people who have you on their buddy list (::cringe:  ... You have a map on the wall with red thumbtacks to mark where people you have met are... You look at an annoying person off-line and wish you had your ignore button handy... You bring a bag lunch and a cooler to the 'puter... LOL
