Maryfrei Posted November 11, 2005 #1 Share Posted November 11, 2005 We're doing the one night Spirit Dinner Dance on the 18th. Our third cruise. Of course, I'm spending as much time as possible milking all the wonderful tidbits from the boards. But, I had to wonder if I was over doing when I got this email from my DH... "BTW, I know you're probably on the Norwegian Bulletin Board now, and I'm not going out to dinner with "the Shore Guy"........" PS: Thanks for all the tips Shoreguy:);):) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derf5585 Posted November 11, 2005 #5 Share Posted November 11, 2005 When you hit the refresh key every 10 seconds When you wake up in the middle of the night to check new posts When it is an hour after you said "Just a minute honey" When you say in an argument "Well on CC they said" When you start LOL at work or at home and everyone KNOWS why.

Cosmopolitan Posted November 12, 2005 #10 Share Posted November 12, 2005 When you're up until 3AM doing office work and still have to read the boards before retiring:( Then arise at 7AM to get to the office. No wonder I find these boards so amusing...I must be delirious!

Cinnamon Seahorse Posted November 12, 2005 #16 Share Posted November 12, 2005 When your husband joins the boards as a way of communicating with you.... But I do love the name he picked, "Pamper Her." So long as he's clear in his responsibilities, we get along just fine. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EileenN Posted November 12, 2005 #17 Share Posted November 12, 2005 when... 2. you turn on the computer first and THEN hit the bathroom first thing in the morning. AND NUMBER ONE: you no longer notice the smell of coffee in the morning. You get out of bed and go to the computer first... GOD HELP US ALL !!!

naragonl Posted November 12, 2005 #18 Share Posted November 12, 2005 You wonder what to eat and you think to yourself What would Shoreguy suggest? You can't stop speaking to people in person without refering to them by their CC names? When your kids are misbehaving you say to them to stop or I'll get Host Cecelia to straighten this out. You question your self worth by the number of reads you get on the CC boards. Whoever said the one about checking the boards before getting the coffee is so true.

tony@stanton19.freeserve. Posted November 12, 2005 #23 Share Posted November 12, 2005 ..........When your friends roll their eyes heavenwards when you yet again say, "I was reading on Cruise Critic, you know, that message board that I spend most of my life on"........ when this is about general news items which appear, to the unitiated, to have no relation to cruising. Believe me CC is not everyday news in the UK I too have found myself checking the boards in the morning before doing anything else. I blame it on the time difference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lhugheshome Posted November 12, 2005 #25 Share Posted November 12, 2005 When you take it personally that there are hardly any posters are on your Roll Call. When you post questions you already know the answer to just to see who will answer. When you are tempted to respond to some of the nasty postings that absolutely do not deserve a response. When you want to correct someones spelling mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
