Information on OED

There are many easily identifiable symptoms of OED. Having any or all of the known symptoms is cause for concern. Generally, if you suffer from more than three of the symptoms listed below, you are suffering from this disorder and should seek help. These are just some of the known symptoms of OED. There are many more, some of which have yet to be identified. Further symptoms will be added to the list as they are discovered.
You suffer from OED if you:

• Would never dream of leaving the house without wearing embroidery
• Named your embroidery machine(s)
• Have actually read all or part of your machine manual(s)
• Think two embroidery machines is still not enough
• Have more embroidery designs than recipes
• Cooking has become foreign to you
• Belong to more than three online embroidery groups

I ran across this from another site. I thought I would post it here so all of us could feel better about.......OED. It's not my fault.
