You don't care if you feed the family and if you do it's the fire alarm that lets you know it's ready.

1. You log onto Rootschat at the end of a hard day at work, before doing
     much else.
2. At the village church annual booksale you make a bee-line for the
    history section, followed by a rummage through the "religious section"
    where you find a bible, named and dated 1915, and you buy it, hoping
    that your research will find the owner's family.
3. You actively search out old photos, books, memorabilia at boot fairs in 
    order to satisfy the same need as No.2.
4. You buy a Mother's Day card a little in advance of the day, in which the 
    words read: "sharing special times, sharing magical moments...sharing
    family memories.."  because that's exactly what you've been spending a
    lot of time with your Mum on recently.   :D :D :D

You buy frozen dinners that you can quickly whip out of the freezer when the real dinner (and pans) are burnt while doing a 'quick search" for your great uncle George.

When you turn on your computer to check your e-mails and log into Rootschat to have a "quick" look at your relevant boards and you're still there 5 hours later and its midnight.  No housework done or dishes washed. Again!  :o

And you have to have a final look at Roots before you go to bed.  It's 32 minutes past midnight now. ::)
