You Know You're Addicted to the Case When:

[curiositycat]

The doorbell rings, it's your neighbor, you peek through the windows while holding the dog's mouth shut so he doesn't bark. Always told my neighbors, if I am not home, you won't hear the dog. It worked! My dog didn't like it but I gave him a cookie, thought of having one of his cookies as I missed lunch!

ROFL. I can relate to that when I see a car drive up I get mad as I don't like to be interrupted anymore!:clap:

1) You have burn welts across your thighs from your laptop.

2) You flunked high school chemistry, but you suddenly find that you know the chemical formula for chloroform.

3) The dog brings you a piece pf paper with a 12-Step Group phone number on it.

4) You spew acronyms like that stupid TV phone commercial.

5) 7-8 pm is sacrosanct. You CANNOT miss NG!

6) "LP" no longer refers to those old-style vinyl records.

7) You live in San Diego, but you've memorized much of the Google-mapped topography of Orlando, FL.

You sign up to help with the Presidential campaign, but when they email you on Friday afternoon to go door to door Sat and Sun, you send regrets that something important was planned this weekend.

you know you are addicted to websleuths when:
1) everytime your hubby walks into the room to find you on the computer he says, "did you crack the case yet?"

2) your lower back is so jacked up from sitting in the computer chair that you eat 600 miligrams of motrin with breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

3) you have dorito cheese forever~embedded in between your computer keys.

4) the only thing dusted and windexed in the entire house is the computer and the desk it sits on

5) in between screen refreshes you RUN to the kitchen to start the dishwasher, or pee so fast you could be bionic woman with that funny sound in the background

6) you feel like a radar gun may pulverize you if you even peek at Brian's predictions

Here are some quick recipes from the Southern Culture on the Skids website. If you're pressed for time because there's a webcam that needs to be watched, and you have a hungry family, it offers some ideas.

The NASCARita.

One part Tequila
Two parts Mountain Dew

If ya want a frozen one, hit the 7-11 and get plain slurpee ice first, then mix equal parts slurpee, Dew & tequila.

Also known as the White Trash Margarita.

Taco To-Go, aka "walking taco"

Ingredients:

1/2 cup shredded cheese
1/2 cup shredded lettuce

Without opening the bag, lightly crush the Doritos. Cut a slit longways down the seam of the bag, so that you open it into a "pouch." Add all of the ingredients and stir.

5) in between screen refreshes you RUN to the kitchen to start the dishwasher, or pee so fast you could be bionic woman with that funny sound in the background.

ROFL!!!!
Too dang funny!

Yeah, the NASCARita and the "Drankin' food stuff" crack me up every time I see those.

Go check out the website...the recipes are hilarious. Here's another:

Tangwich

2 slices of Wonder Bread
Marshmallow Fluff as required
powdered Tang drink mix as required
Spread a thick layer of Marshmallow Fluff on a slice of Wonder Bread. Sprinkle enough powdered Tang on that slice so as to completely cover all evidence of Fluff. Then spread a layer of Fluff on the other slice of Wonderbread. Press the two slices of bread together and voila: a delicious Tangwich! The perfect accompaniment to this meal would be rehydrated Tang but Sloe Gin & Coke will always do nicely as well.

Your cell phone bill is significantly larger because you spent the entire time (HOURS!) you were at the local garage getting your car fixed on the mobile web looking up updates and researching info pertinent to the case.

You did not make arrangements for someone to drive you home to wait while your car was fixed because you knew nobody would bug you while you were at the garage.

I am soooo guilty of ALL of the above !!

and if this hasn't been added:

You have an extra web page open that is NOT case related to quickly switch to so you don't appear obsessed. !!!!!

 

[belleyes]

1) when you check WS everytime you wake up from the drug induced stupor of waiting to pass a Kidney Stone.
2) you try to get someone to change the E.R. waiting room channel to FOX ( to get an update)
3)your actually looking forward to Hannah because you can stay inside without guilt.
4) your DH tells you, you must choose between WS and NG but not both. (you actually get angry--who does he think he is,your an adult)

Is anyone dealing with more than one addiction? This case has gotten to me bad. I'm also a political junky. My husband has been a political widower for two weeks (conventions).

It's been difficult trying to multitask my obsessions! :crazy:

 

[Brini]

5) You start dropping NG Southernisms, like. "THAT'S putting perfume on the pig!"

6) You lay out jeans and boots, and set your alarm, so you can get up and join the search. Then, you remember that you live in California.

7) You notice that you've memorized all of KC and her friends email addys.

Me, too! One eye on the CA case, and the other eye on the conventions and political punditry.
