You know you're addicted to the Eagles when....
Something that I posted in another thread made me think of this. I think it's safe to say that all of us Borderers are HUGE fans of the Eagles. We've got the albums, photos, posters, have seen or will see the guys numerous times in concert either together or solo. But sometimes you finally realize this and can say that you're completely addicted to the Eagles.
You know you're addicted to the Eagles when....
You lose track of time while being on an Eagles message board that you are late to your own birthday party.

Re: You know you're addicted to the Eagles when....
LOL Peek!
You're know you're addicted to the Eagles when you hunger to see the exact same show multiple times, even though it costs $200 a pop!

Re: You know you're addicted to the Eagles when....
You Know You're addicted to The Eagles when you name your stuffed animals Don Glenn Tim and Joe :lol:

Re: You know you're addicted to the Eagles when....
I posted this awhile back in the topic "Going through PEW!" I think it should also go here...
Re: Going through PEW! Please HELP!! I might as well fess up also.
~It's pretty bad when your daughter comes out of your bedroom and says "Mom's Eagles shrine seems to be getting bigger" to her father. :eyebrow:
~You have an Eagles picture as a bookmark in your cheap trashy romance novel.
~When you have your ipod (that holds 1500 songs) on shuffle and it plays an Eagles songs (or one of their solo works) at least every 3rd or 4th song.
~When you pull up your email and 90% of the emails are informing you that someone has posted a reply on The Border to a topic you posted to.
~When you have more pictures downloaded on your computer of The Eagles than anything else, including family pics.
Need I go on?:headshake:

Re: You know you're addicted to the Eagles when....
.....Almost everything anyone says reminds you of a lyric from an Eagles song, OR you talk in Eagles song lyrics
......You have more Eagles photos on your computer than family photos

Re: You know you're addicted to the Eagles when....
OMG...that's me..........

Re: You know you're addicted to the Eagles when....
You know you're addicted to the Eagles when...
~Your young kids know all their names and expect them for family gatherings.
~When they ask "Is that Joe?" when you answer the phone.
~When you resent the fact that there's a football team called The Eagles.

Lol Ticky! I actually have Joe Walsh listed in my phone's address book! Of course the number is made up, but it looks really cool to see him there!
How about this one -
You know you're addicted to the Eagles when...
even though you've reached your destination you stay in your car because an Eagles song is playing!

Which one of us here HASN"T done that? :hilarious:
-
Re: You know you're addicted to the Eagles when....
Lol. I remember Soda telling a story on here somewhere about having someone with her and she wouldn't let them leave the car until the song was over.
-
Re: You know you're addicted to the Eagles when....
Oh good grief - am I in trouble? I can relate to almost every one of these. I also figure that I'm addicted since anytime any of my good friends or family members hears or sees anything about the band, they call me to let me know. Of course, I usually always already know whatever they're calling about, but it's the sentiment that counts. :help:
-
Re: You know you're addicted to the Eagles when....
The one about photos is true for me. That's all I have in my Photobucket account. As for the iPod, I used to get Eagles/solo songs more frequently but as I fill it up, that happens less often. But what is really sad about me is that on Glenn's solo songs and now I'm working on the Eagles songs he sings, I have replaced the majority of the album artwork with my avatars. When a song comes up it is always nice to see which avatar it has for its artwork. :confused:

You know you are addicted to the Eagles when......
They are the wallpaper on your laptop.......
Your best friend has a look at your new phone and comments '....Most people have a picture of their kids as on their phone, not a band......you have it bad!!
When you take out your credit card in the shop and your daughter says 'Take it to the limit Mammy'..........
You spend so long at a chat party that the sun is rising by the time you get to bed......
You plan to call your next child 'Glenn, Timothy, Joseph, Don' if a boy, or Eden if a girl.....
You have floored your savings on ILAA Tickets and signed memorabilia.....
Phrases such as 'I was Busy being Fabulous' belong to everyday speech.......
PGW and PEW are defined conditions in your medical book!!
.....as well as everything else mentioned above!!

Love this one! :laugh:

Re: You know you're addicted to the Eagles when....
When you can't see the sign that says "Glenn St." without smiling, even though it's right up the hill and you pass it at least twice a week.
-
Re: You know you're addicted to the Eagles when....
Hell - what's even worse, Soda - if I lived anywhere near Glenn Street, I'd probably have purchase real estate on it by now! :wink:
-
Re: You know you're addicted to the Eagles when....
These are all really good ones everybody!!! How about....
When you check websites every single day for the best seats and best prices on Eagles tickets to an upcoming show.
When you hear an Eagles or solo song on the radio while driving and you make everybody in the car with you be quiet so you can listen to it.
-
Re: You know you're addicted to the Eagles when....
...When you have had no one but Don Henley and/or the rest of the Eagles as your computer wallpaper for over FOUR years. :heart:
-
Re: You know you're addicted to the Eagles when....
Ditto, DF. I am exactly the same as you. I did make one change to my User Account photo this week (we have Windows XP). I used the Obama Hope poster. It's only one week....

Who me? Couldn't be! ;)

Re: You know you're addicted to the Eagles when....
.....You have a handbag with Glenn :heart:'s picture on it and have a fuschia wallet in the bag!!
-
Re: You know you're addicted to the Eagles when....
What about all my postcards and fridge magnets? I justify this by saying that I am a rabid collector of the things anyway so why should I not have postcards and magnets of the Eagles?
-
Re: You know you're addicted to the Eagles when....
A while back I was talking to my aunt Sarah and every time I go up to visit, I force her to listen to the Eagles and their solo work. Anyways we were talking a while back and she couldn't remember if Get Over It was a solo song by Don or an Eagles song so I had to remind her that it was with the Eagles. Oh and my aunt Ellen gave me her HFO tour tshirt.

Re: You know you're addicted to the Eagles when....
When your 4 year old niece sees a picture of the Eagles as the wallpaper on your cell phone and says "You really love the Eagles, don't you Auntie?"
-
Re: You know you're addicted to the Eagles when....
You know you're addicted when you can sing the words to every Eagles song
-
Re: You know you're addicted to the Eagles when....
When your niece asks you if every song you listen to is the Eagles.
Btw, my niece was standing by me when i was on here earlier today and saw the pic that Dreamer has as her av and was asking me what happened to his shirt and why he was naked. Then when we were in my car and she heard the music playing she asked if it was the Eagles (of course it was) and then she said "that guy with no shirt is in the Eagles isn't he Auntie?" She had me laughing so hard.
-
Re: You know you're addicted to the Eagles when....
LOL!!!!!!!! That's great!
-
Re: You know you're addicted to the Eagles when....
Oh crap, PB! Don't tell me my AV is having a bad influence on our youth! :blush: I guess I'll just have to change it now. :lie: :wink:
-
Re: You know you're addicted to the Eagles when....
Yes Dreamer!! I can just see you changing that av!! :rofl:
But PaB, thats a great story! Eagles with no shirts on! Mmmmmm!!
-
Re: You know you're addicted to the Eagles when....
First things first DREAMER DO NOT CHANGE THAT AVATAR!!!!!!
:bye: Hands up from everyone on here that thinks that 99% of every post in this thread could have been written by them! :thumbsup:
-
Re: You know you're addicted to the Eagles when....
:wave:
I posted this in the Little things that remind you of the Eagles thread, but it fits here, too.
I was looking at a new catalog that came in the mail yesterday and noticed this caption:
THE HENLEY YOU LOVE.
Of course, I thought of Don and not clothes!
-
Re: You know you're addicted to the Eagles when....
:bye: :bye: :bye:
And TBF - Not to worry - there's no way I can change my avatar. Too many people have threatened to 'steal' it if I do. We'll just have to try to come up with an explanation for the small children as to why the Eagle is naked! :twisted:

That is hilarious, PM. It literally made me laugh out loud when I read it. I think you've found the perfect solution to our problem! :rofl:
-
Re: You know you're addicted to the Eagles when....
Here's one that should be called "you know you're addicted to the Eagles AND the Border"...
When you see a picture of the Eagles and you think of it in terms of which Borderer has that picture as their avatar.
-
Re: You know you're addicted to the Eagles when....
You know you're addicted to the Eagles (and probably need serious help) when....
You go on a long road trip by yourself, take a picture of your favorite Eagle with you AND point out all the sights to him, uhh it.. the picture *G* (In all fairness it was just the Country club and golf course because I knew he'd be interested in it... ok, and the ocean, the sea gulls out side our windows etc..)
