Rolling over laughing....

Lush, some of us on the other end of the age spectrum have different problems. Try these on for size.

You know you're in trouble when...

1. Your son falls to his knees and begs and pleads for you to get off the computer so he can download his music.

2. Your husband is next in line. He falls to his knees and begs and pleads for you to get off the computer so you can cook the family dinner. (OK, I've got a great husband--but a cook, he's not!)

3. You have more pictures of Frodo and Sam on your bedroom wall than your ten-year old daughter does.

4. You can barely bring yourself to look at your latest credit card bill, since you went a little crazy on e-bay snarfing up older editions of LotR.

5. Your fifteen-year old son has to explain to his friends with some embarassment that his mother was the one who put the Frodo screensaver on the family computer.

6. You regularly go with 1-2 hours less sleep a night in your frantic efforts to keep up with the four new RPGs that you have joined.

7. Your Tolkien reading material has spilled from the kichen table and the bedroom over into the bathroom!

8. Your daughter likes hobbits and Elves so you use her birthday as an excuse to load her down with assorted Middle-earth pictures and paraphernalia.

9. Whenever you meet your friends for lunch, they beg you to tell them the next installment of the life of Cami Goodchild the Hobbit.

10. You still hang on to all your Tolkien "collectibles"--the buttons, bumperstickers, and battered books--that adorned your dorm room way back when you were a freshman, over thirty years ago!
