  11. Your spouse makes a new rule: "The computer cannot come to bed."
  12. You ask a plumber how much it would cost to replace the chair in front of your computer with a commode.
  13. You start tilting your head sideways to smile. :^)
  14. Your best friend is someone you've never met.
  15. Your spouse says communication is important in a marriage...so you buy another computer so you can chat.
  16. You begin to wonder how on earth your service provider is allowed to call 200 hours per month "unlimited."

  18. So does your goldfish.
