You know you've been on SoWal a long time when...

...you see a hurricane coming and you ask SJ to run by your place to see if it's okay

...you get fired from your job and you're happy about it

...you see a person's screen name and you know their real name, too

...your spouse/SO knows who you're talking about when you refer to gttbm or LL or RO

...you know more about what's going on in a SoWaller's family than you do your own

...you're late for your work-out because you're responding to a post

...you've stopped watching TV or reading books because SoWal is your best source of information

...you have a mental image of the regulars even if you actually have no idea what they look like

...you check SoWal.com even when you're in SoWal

...dinner is late, the kids are starving, the house looks like a bomb hit it, and your spouse walks in and says "what did you do today" even though s/he knows the answer...

Any more?

You know you've been on Sowal too long...

When despite their best efforts, instead of trying to talk you out of spending so much time on the board, your family members are now posting and pm'ing with the best of 'em! :floor:

When all you can think about is getting this whole group together somewhere, I mean ALL of us at the same time and having one BIG party!!!! Wondering how on earth we could do this, when all of us live all around the country. We have to do this sometime!!!!!!

Anticipating the next day, and looking forward to communicating with the SoWal family!

I know, I know, Kimmi keeps reminding me what funn that will be, but not this year for me. I need a Plan B...
Though, Kimmi, I think I'll be able to meet you in the Big City in January!

You're packing for a trip, find sand in your bag, bringing tears to your eyes and you run to sowal for comfort... :floor:

:funn: No research needed--been there, seen that! St. Louis has a funny tie to Scores--an executive from our Savvis Communications company and his "little" trip to Scores...? Wowza. 😱

When while mowing your grass, you slow your lawnmower down to half speed so you won't run over any frogs.
