Somebody famous dies and your son asks you if anybody has them in the Death Pool.
I *think * I was first on a news story *once * in the last 5 years, and I’m a diehard news junkie. You gotta be gunfighter fast to be first on a major news story around here. I’m talking have a new thread box open in the right forum already kind of fast. It amazes me every single time.
So mostly I just check here for the news.
My *mom * asks me that.
Oh dear. This is going to be me in two weeks. I even know that I’m going to make a post about posting on the go.
I already know I’m a basket case though.
First thing in the morning I open a tab for each of my emails, the Dope, my local paper site, CNN, and BBC. In that order.
-when every time you visit other websites you look for the User CP button to take you straight to the stuff you’re interested in
-when you submit an email and immediately start looking for the edit button because you know you screwed up something and never preview
-when you get work done around the office in between threads, instead of vice versa
Today, I…

Here I am.[/ul]And I added all the tag characters from memory too.[/li]
I need more than a drink.
You start expecting this level of moderation, grammar, and spelling on other internet boards. Sigh.
(I totally do the composing OPs thing in my head. It’s like something isn’t real until I bitch about it in a mini-rant. 
)
I do this all the time.
You know when one of your 1st thoughts upon getting a new kitty/dog/pet/grandchild is how to post a picture (and you note that your idea has already been mentioned.)
Love, Phil
Quick question: how do I post a pic? My husband has a digital camera, but how to I upload the pictures?
(How do you know if the SDMB has taken over your life? Would a sane person ask this question?)
Love, Phil
Honey, I think you’ve already had too much to drink. :eek: You must really like the flavour-aid.
**[Edited to add]**I don’t post on the go, 'cause I can’t. But I’ve done most of the things here, oh yes.
I’m not quite sure how to go from the specific to the general, but I saw a woman with short grey hair at the grocery store today and immediately thought “ohmygosh! Is she one of those dour lesbians? Or is she proof that the stereotype is unfounded?”
If you have a google account, you can use picasaweb.google.com to upload them. There’s a lot of similar services out there.
If you don’t have a google account, go get one posthaste 
After uploading your photos and setting them to “public,” you can link your picasa page like any other webpage.
Which is why when people compose long lists with the third item being “Hi Opal!” they are actually using it incorrectly.
I’ve said “Cite?” out loud too many times to count. :smack:

Which fits right into the spirit of the OP, of course.
I’m guilty of pretty much all of the above.
And another…when you think it would be fun to post to the MMP as you are en route to your vacation destination and even pay for internet access for a ridiculously short period of time in order to accomplish this feat.
When half the funny stories you tell start with, "okay, so there was this thread on the Dope . . . "
Well, at least they nicely balance out the rest of them, that start with…“So, we were really really drunk and…”
When someone famous dies, you run to your computer in hopes of starting the first thread about it.
