As I've explained many times to my family and friends, I'm NOT addicted to CC. I'm only reading this for a friend and I can quit anytime I want to.
Really.

"burn dinner".....how about not even starting dinner because you're on CC;
"Oh, is it really 7:00 PM already?"

you quickly switch to another screen when someone comes in your office - mine is at home, so it's usually H or DS. Kinda like hiding a vodka bottle...lol.
you starting using terms like H or DS when communicating in emails...or even in conversation...lol!

You find out that a friend posts on CC and, instead of asking his or her screen name, you try to figure it out

You find yourself referencing something you read on CC most every day...

You could recite from memory which schools more than 20 regular posters (or their kids) attend or are applying to.

"When you go to a college visit and talk about CC, and someone else comes up and shouts their screenname at you. You have an instant understanding of one another." -Applicannot.

When you need a new pair of shoes and, instead of looking for them on Zappos, you start a new thread in the cafe, then sit back and click on the links posted in the replies

You fondly remember the meta thread and realize that non-CC friends just wouldn't get it.

You worry that your kids will find out about it and be horrified.

When you look for threads with dozens of pages, because you know they are going to be entertaining.
| Yes, that!
When you can recite some of the CC commandments, like "Love thy safety" and "It's all about the fit."

..... you panic when you haven't been on CC for a couple of days because you know it will take you hours to catch up.
