You Know youre Addicted to the Internet when?

- You kiss your girlfriend's home page.

- Your bookmarks list takes 15 minutes to scroll from top to bottom.

- You find yourself brainstorming for new subjects to Google.

- You refuse to go to a vacation spot with no electricity and no phone
lines.

- You spend half of the plane trip with your laptop on your lap.... and
your kid in the overhead compartment.

- Your dreams are in HTML.

- You refer to going to the bathroom as ?downloading.?

- You start introducing yourself as "Jim at I-I-Net dot net dot au"

- You turn up the volume real loud when leaving the room so you can
hear if anyone IM's you.

- All of your friends have @ in their names.

- Your dog has its own webpage.

- You check your mail. It says "no new messages." So you check it
again.

- You name your children Google, Friendster and Blogger

- You wake up at 3 a.m. to go to the bathroom and stop and check your
e-mail on the way back. (OK ? We all have done this one)

- Your sweetie says communication is important in a marriage...so you
buy another computer and network them together so that you can IM each
other anytime.

- You have withdrawals if you are away from the computer for more than
a few hours.

- You take a speed reading course to keep up with the scrolling.

- You rank your friends by the amount of bandwith they have.

- You order pizza online - because you can't be bothered to call.

- You double click your TV remote.

ROTFLMAO! OK, I'm guilty of just about all of the above! ;

Me too! the 3 AM email checking is my worst habit.
Skritches,

And how about:

- You plan your driving trips so that your stops will be in areas where
you know you get good wireless internet connections

"KittyLady" had some very interesting
things to say about OT- How you know you are addicted to the internet:

- You refer to going to the bathroom as ?downloading.?

Errr, we (DH and I) do this, when we don't refer to "using the
litterbox" (by the two-leggeds).

- You wake up at 3 a.m. to go to the bathroom and stop and check your
e-mail on the way back. (OK ? We all have done this one)

I've done that a time or two.

- Your sweetie says communication is important in a marriage...so you
buy another computer and network them together so that you can IM each
other anytime.

Errr, DH insisted on networking us (we entered the marriage with his &
hers computers, having met online).

- You take a speed reading course to keep up with the scrolling.

I was already a fast reader, but chat does seem to have considerably
improved my typing speed. :-)

- You order pizza online - because you can't be bothered to call.

Where can you do that? I have a hard time getting DH to drop carrier
so I can make voice calls.

- You double click your TV remote.

I don't think I've done that, but ISTR trying to double-click with my
PDA stylus.
