Default You know you're obsessed when ...
I'm sure there must be an existing thread about this, but I couldn't find it in the search.

For me, it just became very evident. I had to type a press release at work that had the word "how" in it twice. Both times, and repeatedly, all I could type was "Howe". And yes, I had to edit it in the sentence above also. Maybe I need to take a break, or a vacation, or something.

When did it become evident you had an obsession?

I have typed "Ruth" several times in an email instead of rush. Sent the email every time too and didn't catch it.

You know you're obsessed when.....

You wake in a cold sweat from a dream that included a pair of scissors and a baseball card.

I am not speaking of myself...............yet.

You know you are obsessed when you plan your regular activities around an ending time of an auction (if it's not able to be sniped).

You can remember everything about the day a particular card arrived, what the weather was like, what you were doing, who you were with, but you can't remember where you went with your wife yesterday.

I'm sending that Connecticut license plate in to PSA, for a cross-over. Any predictions as to how it will come back?
