You know your addicted to the water hole, when..!

Submitted by Ms Charlie on Thu, 22/02/2007 - 12:19pm. School Kids

I would love to start a thread here of how all this has effected each of you. It's the humor of all this I am tying to capture. If you would please, could you ask yourselves....you know your addicted to the water hole, when..! and finish the sentence. Have fun... Smiling

You know your addicted to the water hole...When your husbands walks through the door after a long day at work, and finds you still sitting in front of the monitor with your Pj's still on.

Well, there is a bridge here in Oklahoma which reminds me very much of an old railway bridge in the KNP. I look for hippos every single time I cross it.

I'll let you know if I see any Eye-wink

You know your addicted to the water hole....when...you pour yourself a big hot bubble bath, climb in and almost instantly find your self swashing your arm around like the trunk of an Elephant to splash your back. It's even worse when your ears begin to flap like an elephant. Smiling

By all means I didn't put any restrictions on this at all nor would I . heck this is ALL about kids to me. Won't it be a chuckle to hear and see what they have to say. I await.

You know your addicted to the water hole....when! When I go to my Great Aunties house for the weekend and to get into the theme of what we are watching on the water hole, I wear a safari hat, safari outfit and use my new Jungle Jack Hannah Binoculars to watch out for Alligators. No more Barbie dolls for me..

You know you're addicted to Africam when you carry your laptop around with you from room to room, and you won't leave the house for food!

8. You planned 2 trips to South Africa and visited 7 parks africam has had cameras at.
7. You've been on and operated briefly several cameras.
6.You've tuned into africam almost daily since 1999.
5.You tuned in at a New Year's Eve party to show all the guests at a friends place the website.
4. You've fallen asleep on the couch,within view of the computer,hoping some animal would appear when U wake briefly at nite.
3. You met someone through africam that lives one block from you,that U had never met before.
2. You get your boss so addicted to africam,that he comes to tell about the site as though he found it,and is letting you know about it.(Note:this is great as you no longer have to explain why U are so tired at work...he totally understands)
1.When you sit for about 30minutes answering a boma posting about how U can tell U are an africam addict.

You know you're addicted to Africam when you start running a nice bubble bath and:

>>forget the waters on

>>your kids turn off your water

>>your grade school kids tuck each other into bed

>>You start to bed at 4 am and realize you have a tub full of cold water.

Hola, I'm k and I'm an Africam addict!

....when you can sit in front of the cam for over 6 hours with no complaints yet a two hour movie has you squirming and claiming restless leg syndrome.

.....when your eldest child cannot even look upon you anymore without shaking his head in concern and mumbling something about electric shock therapy under his breath.

....when you start looking at the impala via cam and thinking them like the prevalence of backyard squirrels.

You know you're addicted to the water hole when you're riding in the countryside in Kentucky, scanning each pond carefully for signs of animals. And when you do see a couple of cows at the pond, your pulse quickens. And when you happen to see a deer, you immediately think impala.
