When you click on your 'Favourites' list of web-pages on your computer and find that not only is it twice as long as your weekly shopping receipt from the supermarket but also that probably 90% of the links relate to FH!

And .... you have so many FH links on that Favourites list that it's quicker to just tap the name of the website into Google rather than trawl through your Favourites list looking for it!   :o      Now that IS sad!  ;D

and your husband keeps sneeking looks over your shoulder to see if you're chatting up some bloke you've met on the net.     "whose John Kirwan?" he says

"my g.g.grand father" I say,

"oh yeah" he says, "that's what you say"!

When you wake in the middle of the night from a nice peaceful sleep and realise you are  thinking about the ancestor that has been giving you trouble finding things out about them.

Haha........or even booking a summer holiday to France specifically with the intention of visiting the WW1 war grave site where your great uncle is buried.

... and offered a 'nice weekend away' and you chose the hotel that is 'comfortable, good food, good price, friendly' but don't mention it's bang in the middle of 'their villages' then spend the entire weekend taking 'random' photos of houses, farms, churches etc.  Then when you get home OH says - 'it was so good to get you away from that family history stuff'.   ;D ;D ;D

you have so many FH links on that Favourites list that it's quicker to just tap the name of the website into Google rather than trawl through your Favourites list looking for it!  

when you have a special folder in your favourites called Genealogy
 - - and it's so big that you have to have some sub-folders as well!
