501 ways to know you've been on allnurses.com too long!

Published

all right.

i confess! i'm a proper addict! this is a fantastic website - filled with goodies and great people.

and i know that i'm not alone :)

so... i challenge forum members to describe 501 ways to know you've been posting on allnurses.com too much. here's some to start off...

remember to put the numbers

1. you're still stuck in threads from 2002, trying to catch up.

2. during conversations in 'actual reality', you keep looking for the emoticon buttons whenever you are being sarcastic/trying to be funny/etc.

3. when arguing with your so, you quickly get your point in because you think the debate will get locked.

4. you try to find a pm function on the phone, so much easier than dialing.

5. when your family starts getting on your nerves, you want to pm a moderator to get them banned.

:D

Instead of studying conversions for your LPN class, you are busy looking at the website anxiously waiting to see if you've gotten a reply. LOL! I'm doing just that right now! :lol2::lol2::lol2:

I agree with # 174! I do this ALL the time. People just don't know what they are missing. This forum is incredibly hilarious and the other forums and awsome too! Some forums are even educational. I swear, I'm learning more from the website than I have in my LPN class... LOL!

I ALSO FIND i LEARN ALOT FROM ALLNURSES, OFTEN ON THE HUMOURUS SITES. THE MAIN THING I LOVE ABOUT ALLNURSES IS THE FEELING OF SUPPORT. READING THAT OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING SIMILAR FEELINGS AND EXPERIECNES MAKES ME FEEL LIKE ITS ALL OK.
