Ok, what kind of freak would you have to be to score really high on that quiz Horsegirl???

You are a great theripist, I am totally fine. I only score a 50. And I was even being a little hard on myself.

That means it must be fine to stay up and chat until 2am

I thought you might feel better that was my conclusion for myself as wel!

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawwww, wassa matter Haley bug? Everyone wuvs ya. I know I am not as dashing or funny as the Chapster is, and I can't imagine anyone would have you on ignore, especially him. You are the sugar and spice of the maelstrom board.

I am needing an intervention, Haley. Got any advice for me?

Haley, I could never ignore you -- you're a force of nature. Aristotle rules! Sorry, couldn't help myself on that one.

I've got one word for you ... EVDO! (and go with Verizon.. the Sprint service is a little different and slower!) There is *no* reason to ever be without the internet!

DH has Verizon EVDO for his Audiovox cell phone that runs a version of windows.. EVDO works with blackberry too. That got us hooked.. now I've got a seperate EVDO PCMCIA card for my laptop... anywhere there is EVDO or cell service we have high speed internet connectivity . Most of the time it's as fast as DSL/Cable Modem, even at 60+ mph on the highway

We got stuck at a non-wifi airport for 6 hours last month.. and were able to go online.. it was a life saver. We have an hour+ commute to work, and I often go online while DH drives, to catch up on news and friends blogs. We order groceries online, pay our bills online.. and I'm getting to the point where I wish I could schedule all my apointments online, like doctor, hair dresser, oil change, etc. We're another laptop happy family.. we aim each other while we are watching tv, 5 feet apart from each other. One of our favorite things is to sit in bed with our laptops.. together

We work on the internet all day, for an internet backbone provider.. we sort of build and support the infrastructure of the internet. For us, it's not an addiction.. it's a lifestyle.. and our livelyhood... and we love it!

Case in point haley. I try to comfort you and cover his busy derriere and what happens, he skips right over it and does what? IGNORES ME! Clearly this is a man whose wit is NOT surpassed by his ability to multitask. Okay, Chappie, now you are on ignore and I am now getting EVDO and keeping you on ignore permanently. Men, Geeesh. Lou will get my attention as he reciprocates and is mighty witty too as are Master G and Zzub....so there, phooey.

OK, I feel so much better now. You are clearly more addicted than me

... I wonder if DH can get work to pay for that.
