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

[Roy Fokker]

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.

I haven't even been on here all that long and I already find that I'll be telling someone a story and have to stop - "Wait, did that happen to me or did I read that on allnurses.com" :chuckle

192. You use ur sidekick to catch up on the latest post. It doesn't matter where you are or what you are doing your sidekick in in ur hand on allnurses.com and the sad part is that if your friends pick up your phone they know that it will auomatically be on allnurses

when nursing is no longer the subject, but most replies start with me or I

193......the FIRST thing you used to do when you got home from work was SHOWER.....NOW....you have to check your e-mail for replies on allnurses.....first.......the grime can wait.....

194.

you realize that you have nearly 1000 subscribed posts and weed it back to a little over 200

195. You value the opinions from your allnurses associates more than your skin and bones co-workers.

196. When you can't remember the last time you and your significant other when to bed at the same time, because

you're always online responding to threads!

#198: When you come home from work, your son (who likes dark rooms w/no ventilation), turns on the light, turns on the fan, and brings allnurses.com up on the monitor.

If I'm really lucky, he gets me a large tumbler w/ice in it, and a caffeine free diet coke to go w/the ice, or maybe some mint chocolate chip ice cream!!

200. You are in a lecture in class and are not quite getting what the heck she is talking about....and think oh well I will just look it up on allnurses later.....then starting thinking about the gross stories you were reading about last night and can't possibly fathom how someone could have a dead kitten under the folds of their skin fat and not know.........and start shaking your head in disbelief in the middle of lecture!!!!!!!

201. You tell your husband about the gross stories you are reading about just because you know that he has a weak stomach and will get up and leave you alone...so you can finish reading the thread
