    You're more excited to see the new Grizzly catalog than the new Victoria Secret catalog!

    Not that this happens to me!
    AMEN brother!

      You are watching the hit TV medical show House and can identify by brand, make and model which cordless drill they are using to drill someones head open. THEN you contemplate why a fancy hospital on the cutting edge of technology doesn't even have a NiMH battery powered drill instead of Ni-Cad? I mean this is critical surgery. Sure they are not going to be drilling 28 1" holes, but what if they needed to? And how about the battery power LED indicator on the Ni-Cad? Crucial. Then of course this thought process goes into consideration of torque and are those HSS or carbide bits?

          Your 8 yr old daughter suggests that you attend Home Depot Anonymous meetings.

          Boy can I relate to J's "when you sometimes just go stand in the shop and do nothing."

                .. when you can walk into your living, your bathroom, your kitchen from your shop

                when the finest furniture in your house is in your workshop.

                when relatives ask what gifts your kids are interested in for Their birthday/Christmas and you add a tool or two to the list.

                  When your workbench cost more than the entire dining set in the house, looks better than the dining set, has a better finish than the dining set, and you actually eat most meals at the bench, rather than the dining set.

                    ...You have pictures of tools for your desktop backround.

                        Your tablesaw cost more than your car....

                        heck, your custom ground chisel set cost more than your car.

                          when you give your wife a walkie talkie and you take the other into the workshop. she's happy as long as your listening to her.

                            I have that, a wireless intercom from Radio shack. LOML favors the shout at the top of your lungs method though so they are disconected. It is the truth they are sitting on the widowsil of my shop gathering dust.

                                When your two year old recognizes Norm...
                                Whenever ask this old house comes on he could be sleeping and he'll jump up as start dancing and running around like a little maniac.
                                I rewind (tivo) and play the music two or three times and he screams when I stop to actually watch the show.
