What's your "thing" at home

Re: What's your "thing" at home

I can't stand when people want to entertain, but then basically ask for a "cover charge" to help with the food. When I get my home, just bring yourself and let's have a good time. I'll take care of everything. I have a cousin in law who pretty much charges us when we come. Needless to say, my wife and I don't go there anymore.

That sucks man. My brother is the same way. A few years ago he announced on facebook that he was going to have a keg party and charge people $5 a cup to drink all they want. A few days before the party he calls me and tells me he doesn't have the money to buy/rent the keg. So i told him i'll cover him for it, as long as i get half of the what he makes. I figured that was fair since it wasn't my party or my place. Well i got hammered that night and forgot all about collecting the money. So when i call him up to let him know he still owes me, he pulls the whole "were family you shouldn't charge the people you love" routine. Turns out he spent the money already, plus was late returning the keg and the barrel, so the late charges go to my card.

He kinda made up for it buy bringing a few cases of beer a few months later, but needless to say i don't go drinking over there anymore.

What is Hookah? I see these lounges all over Dallas and have no clue what they are.

It's a Middle Eastern water pipe. Basically you put tobacco up on top, cover it with foil, put hot coals on it, and there's a water bowl at the bottom to filter. You draw the smoke from a long hose. The tobaccos are flavored. Usually fruits and stuff. Doesn't have any "effects', just an old a social thing. Not particularly good for you but once in a while no big deal.

I know it's the recent trend now and a bunch of places have popped up. They're cash machines. A license to print money. Costs are so cheap and people (esp. college students) are intrigued by it, and its an easy way to kill a few hours. These places charge 10, 15 bucks a person and it's a piece of cake profit.

Computer/gadget/electronics guy.

If my computer's broken, or something with my gadget or entertainment center has issues I'm trying to figure it out and fix it. I get very focused and don't want to be distracted if possible. Can be tough for me to just "let it be" depending on the issue.

I'm the sleep guy. Whenever there is a nap to be taken, I'm on it....

No actually, everyone in my family thinks I'm a computer whiz as well, but all I really know is it gives me a headache. I love mowing the yard, making different patterns like a baseball grounds crew. But I absolutely hate edging, so it only looks so-so.

I think I'm officially taking over dishes and putting them away... and kitchen trash/recycling.

Definitely the computer guy as it's my profession (although I'm not hands on anymore). This is a curse IMO. I have family members call all the time with all of their computer questions. Computers are the last thing I want to deal with when I get home from work.

I'm also the electronic guy. This, I enjoy. I love home theaters and messing around with them.

I absolutely love being outside so I thoroughly enjoy yard work and maintaining my yard. I'll spend 7-8 hours outside a day on the weekend on yard work.

Curse indeed. Sometimes I feel I come home from my IT job to a help desk job at home.
