LMAO! That was a good one!
Thanks Saviola
===================================================
LIFE IN CYBER SPACEYou Know You're Hooked When.....You start introducing yourself as "lord at pacbell dot com".
Your wife drapes a wig over your monitor to remind you of what she looks like.
You check your mail. It says NO NEW MESSAGES. So you check it again.
Your phone bill is delivered in a box.
You name your children Eudora, Mozilla, and Dotcom.
All of your friends have an @ in their names.
You tell the cab driver you live at "http://123.elm.street/house/bluetrim.html"
You get a tattoo that says "This body best viewed with NETSCAPE 3.01 or higher".
You never have to deal with busy signals because you never log off.
You ask a plumber how much it would cost to replace the chair in front of your computer with a toilet.
You start tilting your head sideways whenever you smile :-).
Your spouse says communication is important in a marriage, so you buy another computer and install another phone line so that the two of you can chat.
As your car crashes through the guardrail on a mountain road, your first instinct is to search for the 'back' button.
Your computer goes down, you haven't logged in for two hours.
You start to tremble.
You pick up the phone and dial your Internet access number.
You try to mimic computer noise in order to connect........
And You Succeed!
You Know You're Addicted When....You meet your best friend for lunch.
She says something funny.
You say: "LOL" or "LMAO"
While cleaning the kitchen counter with the dishcloth,
you glance up at the window, see a fly on it,
and think it's the cursor moving with your mouse.
Your dreams and nightmares are somehow...different
...they are...in TEXT!
Even though you finally turned off your computer
in order to pay attention to some grossly neglected housework,
when a neighbor rings your doorbell,
you find yourself wondering who just signed on.
Your children need to wrestle you to the floor
and pry the mouse out of your hand with a crowbar in order to
use the computer for their homework.
Food is splashed at least three places on your keyboard
and/or monitor - you have had almost as many meals with your
buds in chat rooms as you've had with your family at the dinner table.
That much-anticipated party you were invited to....
the one you bought that pricey outfit for?
You don't go - afterall, all your buds are online tonight!
It's time to start to make dinner.
You tell your family you're just going to quickly check your e-mail
.....2 hours later, you find them munching Cheerios in front of the television
and you think they've played a trick on you by setting the clocks ahead
....it only FELT like 15 minutes!
The bookmark in the novel you began to read the
day before subscribing to AOL is still on page 12.
People who call you and actually get through,
think they have the wrong number.
After work, before taking off your coat and
those terribly uncomfortable shoes, you sign-on to check your mail and bud list
......and that's what you used to do with your answering machine!
You can now sell the answering machine
...all your friends and family know that the only way to
communicate with you is through e-mail.
Redecorating to you no longer means shopping for new curtains
or re-painting the bedroom....it means going into the Control Panel
and changing screen colors.
Cleaning also has a new meaning....
it's not when you use a bucket and mop,
a dust cloth or vacuum cleaner...
it's when you purge your "old mail" and personal filing cabinet.
When you are having dinner with friends
and need to use the restroom, you say to them, "BRB".
You begin to go into music stores asking
for "wavs" instead of CDs.
===================================================
Have a good one, everyone
