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?

When one of the "regulars" on the board haven't posted in a while, and you are worried something bad has happened to them.

...when planning a hurricane evac, you go online to see with whom you will be staying for a few days, or months, depending on where it hits. :funn:

Yes, I have to say you're giving ole Miss Kitty a run for the money. We need to give her a camera and some computer lessons so she can catch up. 😀

You're right, you need a camera. Perhaps we could issue guests cameras for SoWal visitors to use and post photos.

We will all be there with you in spirit. Are you getting her micro-chiped? My babies got fixed and chiped at the same time.
