Movers are coming tomorrow. That was first available. And we're still not really ready for them. I have too much stuff.

You know you are a Geek, when you lose a filling and you go to the Dollar store and buy temporary filling and fill the tooth yourself!

LOL! Only a fellow geek would help out educate another geek.

The things a person can learn here is mind boggling. wink

Thank you, LGS.

I had my tooth rootcanaled last Thurs. The temp filling fell out on Sat so that was a quick fix.

You know you are a geek when your life is chuck full of stuff and you MAKE time for fellow geeks. Even if it kills you. (making time that is) smile

YOu know you are a geek, when you clean out the garage and you grab one of the tool boxes to be MY toolbox and you put what you want in it and keep it locked in your car. And, you bite off the arm of anyone who messes with your tools!

You know you are a Geek when you excitedly type out a text to a fellow Coach about the basketball strategy you used and how you broke down their defense and then send that to the wrong person. And, you get back, WTF? lol

You know you are a Geek when you discuss the home remodeling projects to people who can barely walk and chew gum! And, who don't know how to use power tools and give you a blank stare! lol

Seriously, my SIL was up yesterday. And, I have never met someone who chooses to be so incapable. We were chatting about my home and I was talking about some painting projects and she was like "I have never painted". Um, really? Wow. I had DD up on ladder doing taping, edging and painting. She is 13 and she could now do an entire room. I am teaching her how to use the drill. I don't think my SIL has ever used a screwdriver or hammered a nail.

You know you are a Geek when you are frustrated by board games that aren't "deluxe" enough. Seriously, I HATE cheap ass board games. I would rather pay MORE and get a good quality board. I freaking hate cheap plastic pawns. I got a nice version of Clue and it has plastic figurines of all the characters. I hate when it is just some crappy colored pawn or some cardboard think you put into a cheap plastic piece to stand up. I hate boards that fold into 4 instead of simply folding in half. Geez!

I've never painted a room...

You are in luck - Target has the "retro" games right now with the original metal pieces.

I have and I hate doing it. Actually, hate all the prep work but it is the most important steps of painting.

I must be an amazing Geek. biggrin

I taught my DGS how to strip wallpaper, calk, use spackling, tape and paint last summer. He was 12.

I taught him to strip an antique table, sand, condition, stain and varnish this summer.

Also taught him to redo a deck.

Free labor is great!! smile

He has skills that will last him a lifetime.

I don't like ladders..

I had never painted a room until I was in college. Now, a drill? I've been using one of those for a long time. My dad taught me how to use all kinds of power tools and how to build stuff. But we just don't do our own painting. Haven't for as long as I can remember.

I'm not so good on the grilling. Last time I tried I almost burnt the house down.

Riding · Guru

once I grilled a whole chicken on the rotisserie and forgot to tie his wings up and the dang bird caught fire and made a big scene in my back yard...or wait was that ME screeching and looking for the hose, rake anything all the while the dogs are barking and chasing me certain it was a game, I got the hose and turned it on and dang dog tripped me, as I crashed to the now wet soggy grass, all four dogs leap on me for kisses and hugs and I am waving that dang hose all over and yet all the water was managing to pour back ON me.... I peeled dogs off and crawled to my feet clutching the hose and as I reach the grill my DS is standing there and looking at me like I lost my mind! I looked and he had turned grill off, and kept lid closed and flames went out, but I had a truly black version of a blackened chicken~

I have never attempted it since...and there was the time I tried to fry a turkey ....

or when I lit the chiminea and ummm sparks burned holes in the deck....We now have nice granite hearths our son built for the chimineas and DH replaced boards, but my kids have the memories of an elephant and it always comes up at family dinners etc.

But a sure way to shut them down is to say something like OH yes no more romantic moments on the back deck for dad and I now, I might burn his bare butt with a spark! well that usually changes the subject fast love it~

Parenting adults you have fun with is just another perk I love!
