You know it's time to turn your computer off and read a book when:
- A friend calls and says "How are you? Your phones have been busy for a year!"
- You forgot how to work the TV remote control.
- You see something funny and scream, "LOL, LOL."
- You meet the mailman at the curb and swear he said "You've Got Mail!"
- You sign off and your screen says you were on for 3 days and 45 minutes.
- You fall asleep, but instead of dreams you get IM's.
- You buy a laptop and a cell phone so you can have AOL in your car.
- Tech support calls YOU for help.
- You beg your friends to get an account so you can "hang out."
- You get a second phone line just to call out for pizza.
- You purchase a vanity car license plate with your screen name on it.
- You say "he he he he" or "heh heh heh" instead of laughing.
- You say "Scroll Up" when someone asks what it was you said.
- You sneak away to your computer when everyone goes to sleep.
- You talk on the phone with the same person you are sending an instant message to.
- You look at an annoying person off line and wish that you had your ignore button handy.
- You start to experience "withdrawal" after not being online for awhile.
- "Where did the time go??"
- You sit on AOL for six hours for that certain special person to sign on.
- You get up in the morning and go online before getting your coffee.
- .....You end your sentences with.....three or more periods.......
- You enter a room and get greeted by 25 people with {{{hugs}}}and **kisses**.
- Being called a "newbie" is a major insult to you.
- You're on the phone and say "BRB."
- Your teacher or boss recommends a drug test for the blood shot eyes.
- Your answering machine/voice mail sounds a little like this...."BRB. Leave your S/N and I'll TTYL ASAP".
- You need to be pried from your computer by the Jaws-of-Life.

Hysterical ! I'm a 73 year old grandmother and I can interpret the above.
I don't consider myself addicted,I consider myself in step with the times.
