Oh, I just thought of another indicator that you've become a MEMBER........when you're wife knows the names of people you reference just by telling a story about an online thread......."Are you talking about ____________? Isn't he the one you said was going to Daytona?......."
--OR--
When you're wife tells her friends and family that she's a "tractor widow".
I agree with comments above about this forum. I'm loving it. Being a pastor's kid I've lived many places you guys live and my dad's side of the family has lived and lives in even more places that you all live so when I hear about where you all live there's a great chance that within a few degrees of separation we'd probably find someone we know in common.....did I mention my dad is one of SEVEN kids so I almost have the entire continental US covered.
