You know you spend too much time on the Ship when ...
... all other online engagements become a debate.

If talking about yourself, yes, Heaven.
If talking about others, possibly Hell!

I know. The moderator somewhere else told me I was "not the fairness police."
OTOH, I come back here and keep looking for the "like," button.

You assume everyone you meet reads it too. It's awkward to talk about Hell in the Ship context to one's pastor.

You know you spend too much time on the Ship...
...when you observe a young child being over-enthusiastic about repeating a parent's admonition to the younger sibling, and the words coming out of your mouth are "stop junior hosting".

Actually, people on the American Diabetes Association website message boards are always saying that. And it seems that someone is daily having to tell others what that means. I know I've spent too much time on The Ship when I always bring a Shipmate up in conversation, in a casual way: "Oh, it was so funny when Comet was dissing Evensong about something Evensong said on the Hell boards". Sorry, Comet, sorry Evensong. You two were just an example. But I talk about things folks have said as if anyone else has a clue what I'm referring to. Then, I have to explain The Ship to the unaware...that always takes more time and people look at me like I've lost my mind. ![[Killing me]](graemlins/killingme.gif)
