Here is the quiz from Carlos Fiesta's web site:
BAJA ADDICTION QUIZ
Do your friends think you spend too much time in Baja? Frankly, we at Baja Expo don't think this is possible! But in case you (or someone you know)
thinks you have a problem spending too much time in Baja, we have developed some guidelines to help you determine if you are 'addicted' to Baja. Watch
for these key warning signs when you are in your home environment to see if you are spending too much time in Baja.
When you are not in Baja do you...
...regularly drink beer with breakfast?
...answer your home telephone "Hola?"
...continually strike up conversations with people you don't even know?
...bring recent copies of Baja Life to work with you?
...ask the kid behind the counter at Burger King if they take dollars?
...drop a piece of food on the ground and pick it up and eat it anyway?
...check your shoes in the morning for scorpions?
...multiply the prices of items in the store by 10 to see what it really costs?
...ask the waiter in the restaurant "donde esta los banos?"
...slow down to watch for cows when you drive around blind corners?
...think showering and brushing your teeth every day is excessive?
...walk into restaurants without wearing a shirt or shoes?
...continually fill up your car's gas tank 'just in case'?
...pull over on the side of the road to relieve yourself?
...expect the waiter to bring a lime with your beer?
...bring your mask and snorkel when you visit a friend's pool or Jacuzzi?
...try to pass a slow vehicle because his left blinker is on?
...not expect the hot water to work in your hotel shower?
...gravitate towards cheap Mexican restaurants with non-English signs in the window?
...leave a bigger tip for the waiter than the bill was?
...get to the airport 3 hours early when you are flying somewhere domestic?
...continually keep a cooler and ice in the back seat of your car?
...act confused when you are asked to stop dancing on the table at the local sports bar?
...expect people to actually show up on time?
...start shopping one way ticket prices to Baja?
...spend more time surfing Baja Expo than the porn sites?
If you answered "yes" to 5 or more of these questions then you could have a problem. The anecdote? Head south, amigo!

Oh geez... I answered yes to almost everything (well everything except going into restaurants without a shirt or shoes and the cruising porn sites
ones)... guess it's time to get my Baja "fix"!

OK....I did that and nothing changed. I'm OK with it since it only seems to happen with bajaexpo related sites. I can live without it.
Thanks for the help.
Come to think of it, this may be a Norton thing.

On No! I've answered yes to so many of these questions that I'm obviously addicted. I didn't realize that I was addicted..I mean I get up every
morning and still make it to work. I don't think this is ruining any of my relationships. Do you think I need a 12 step program? Is there a cure for
this addiction? Well, I certainly hope not! 
Whenever I hear that rainy, chill wind blow. I think it may be time to head for Mexico. Tengo que obedecer mi corazon!

I've found the cure! Marry a Baja doctor and submit.

Your getting smart in your old age... one hell of a lot better than looking at "ball joints".
