[NIGHTWATCH]

you log-out on more than one occasion and erase THR from your favorites list in an attempt to overcome this idolatrous obssession. Only to return within 48 hours, thinking, ah, its all right, I'l keep it on for awhile. In case I need it. ;) :D


They dont need me, but DAMNIT! I have something to say! :D - LOL


You know your addicted when?... :uhoh:

[Leatherneck]

Leatherness e-mails you at work:
"Honey, you've been on THR since 0645; if you don't get back to work, I'm going to call your boss." :o
I'm outta here.

You defend your position in an argument with:

"Well Tamara said......":D

[280PLUS]

you force yourself to log off cause you got a lotta work to do but then find yourself back again just to see if anything new came up...

:rolleyes:

:D

[hawk0484]

...you make it your home page!

[Raistlin]

....you can't wait for the next "what to use on T-Rex" thread... ;)

[Carlos Cabeza]

If you've threatened to quit if they take away your "High Road" privileges. :D ( my home P.C. bought the farm and I can't justify 1000.00 computer when there are guns I want to buy ):p

[cslinger]

Uhh when you are replying to this thread.:D

[Henry Bowman]

Glad I'm not the only one who's addicted. :eek:

[Mike Irwin]

You dream about replies that you've made, or will make.

[Ebbtide]

You are not kidding!

I have to force myself to do work. I used to be worried about getting fired for being logged on so long at work, until my IT guy told me that we are to cheap to buy software that tracks such use (new budget comes out next month and things still look bad, so I think I'll be on THR everyday for at least another year)

Don't tell anyone, but I even joined another non-gun forum hoping I would be able to control myself, but as you see...I'm here.

[Skunkabilly]

www.thehighroad.org is in my muscle memory. When I need to go to www.nextel.com or www.monster.com or whatever and I'm sorta zoning out, I type in highroad :o

When you base your life around SHTF or defense against bears....

[Ninj500]

When your wife, who calls THR "that crazy gun board" creates a login and PM's you because it's the only way she can get your attention.

[Logistar]

... when you are giving your class a test and you are STILL looking at posts on TFL while you are "supposedly" monitoring the test- WHEW! Thought my overhead projector (behind my back) might be on for a second there... no... it was off. (wiping forehead)!

Logistar

[Combat-wombat]

Hawk- It's my home page, too.:D

[cool45auto]

your boss keeps wondering why this "gun forum" is on his computer instead of Fox news where he left it!;)

[Greybeard]

... when you go to in-laws for the weekend, camp out at THEIR computer and get frustrated at not being able to reply ... hmmm, next trip, maybe need to get mother-in-law's computer logged in with user name NotAwayDay ... ;)

[El Tejon]

When your secretary buys you a headset so you can talk on the phone and type on THR simultaneously without injuring your neck.:o

[ed dixon]

You call your wife into the room to watch your status change from "member" to "senior member." (And perhaps were disappointed when she didn't have a small gift or at least a card handy. The eyeroll showed she was proud, right?)

[P95Carry]

After way too long browsing, reading and posting .... you minimize the browser, in order to press on with some important web work... already behind schedule!

Only minutes later, hearing an email notification drop in to the forums folder of the email client and then .....

''I'll just take a peek and see which thread that is .......... '':rolleyes: :D

[TheFrontRange]

You know you're addicted when...

...you spend almost eleven bucks for a nice, bright, custom-made six-inch yellow circular decal with the slogan "Molon Labe!" in big bold black print in the middle of it and slap it on the back of your SUV...and then consider ditching it and forking over another eleven bucks to have the same sticker re-done but with the addition of the website address added below the slogan...

:)

I may have to borrow the in-laws' digital camera and snap a pic of my sticker to post out here! I'm waiting on a local THR'er or other cultured firearms fan to remark on the decal to me...or for someone to just ask, "What the heck does THAT mean?!"

[pax]

... when you get up to pee in the middle of the night and somehow end up logged on to THR and still reading messages an hour later ...

Not that that's ever happened to me. :uhoh: No sir. :uhoh: I can quit anytime I want to. :uhoh: Really.

I just don't seem to want to, very badly ...

O.K. ...so this like A.A., right? Yes, well,ummm...my name is Mark,
and I have a problem....;)





if I don't see you at the range, I'll see you here!

Mark.

[CGofMP]

HI MARK!

They say I am in denial but I know they are WRONG... :scrutiny:

Don't you guys empty out before you go to bed? My 2.4Ghz takes forever to boot up...I gotta reformat the thing again :banghead:

[Brian Williams]

When you see your Daughter on and you read over her shoulder. I should add, that when you convert your children to THRs is also a good indicator........

When you buy a gun just because it has been mentioned on THR
or when you buy a gun just to mention it on THR.


The problem is Tamara probably has had one......

[Skunkabilly]

When you see your Daughter on and you read over her shoulder. I should add, that when you convert your children to THRs is also a good indicator........

Where is she anyway? You trade her computer for the G19?

[Gus Dddysgrl]

grrr you beat me. I was gonna try and get on right after dad, but my lunch took too long in the microwave.


You know you're addicted...

when after you are converted you get upset when others won't let you on.

when you fight for time on thr and not just on the comp.

when you read as much over someones shoulder as you do when signed on as yourself.

... your browsing the board at 1:45 am. ... you get off work at 2:00 am but you're still at your desk at 3:30 because ... Hey, I'm not addicted, I can quit any time I want to. Besides which the above incident only happened once, I'm usually gone by 3:00 and soundly asleep by 4:00. Unless I feel the urge to read some gun related stuff in bed... :rolleyes:

[DontShootMe]

When you give up fark.com (http://www.fark.com) as the first site you visit while surfing.

[Larry Ashcraft]

...When one day you find out you CAN'T get on THR because of some fluke in your firewall, :banghead: and you frantically email Oleg and PM all the THR members at 1911forum to find out what happened until finally...

:confused:

Derek Zeanah emails you and saves you.

:D

[Gewehr98]

And your wife threatens to put a 230gr Black Talon .45 ACP slug into the monitor if you don't come to bed immediately...

(Oops, my first wife did that when I was on TFL, too!) :what:

[sm]

What is this "THR" you people are addicted to?;)

[mussi]

You're addicted when you want to surf THR while in military service with a Sharp Zaurus and a cell phone in data mode (actually happened to me!).

When, while restoring a huge backup because of a SAN failure, you suddenly find yourself surfing THR.

[OEF_VET]

or when you buy a gun just to mention it on THR.

Hey, what's wrong with that? Seriously, when I bought my new shotgun today, I thought "Gee, I wish I had a digital camera so I could show the other THR's what the smith did to this Mossberg 500."

[Standing Wolf]

It's probably a good thing the D.E.A. doesn't know about T.H.R.
