    My Name Is Luckyone & I Am...............


    A Gmail aholic :o

    You see I never sign out of my Gmail account. I simply have the first window open on my Gmail account & open another window to do everything else.

    Like that I look along the top of my computer screen & it comes up with 1 when a new email has come in or 2 if two come in ect

    So I fear I have a huge problem & there should be more research going on in the medical world to find a pill to cure me

    :rotfl:

    P.S it say's 1 email :D

    Fact is you are not a proper comper unless you are completely obsessed with checking your emails, phone for missed calls and stalking your postman!
