Back to NAM.... usually at this point I am here to stay for a while. :-)

Oh, and how about the fact that I won't have my MINI for a week yet I am on my 3rd signature... Or the fact that NAM has kept me up late, and gotten me up early most days recently. I can go on... but I'll save it for my next post. ;-)

I think I am in the same boat as all of you. I used to give hubby a hard time for constantly checking the Ifish board. Everytime I turned around he was on the computer. Now everytime he turns around I am on NAM. He now says, "Are you Nam-ing again???"
I have even been known to check NAM at work during breaks, and before I come home.
I never thought I would car this much about a car, and want to learn all about it, and about other Mini owners.
I LOVE this site!!

You know you're a NAM addict when you try to send office e-mails and are constantly frustrated because you can't include a colorful and strategically placed selection of smilies.

i'm a nam addict. i remember threads like this, search for it, and post... because i sold my mini months ago, and miss it and the people i met with it as well... and the fact i've read every new post on this site in the last few days and i needed somewhere else to post.

i used to be a postwhore, now i'm trying to regain that title again

You Know You're a NAM Addict When....

a) You're the one who gets someone (mielnicki) to create a NAM widget
b) You have "Pulse" in your startup folder
c) You have an email filter and a folder just for NAM notifications
d) all of the above??
