Thread: Are we geeks?

  1. #1

    Are we geeks?

    I have just been informed by my 14 year-old son (who, by the way, knows EVERYTHING), that I have turned into a "weird pet-geek" - because I spend so much time on PT.

    At least in my study I can't hear the "MUSIC" he plays - Ally is so much easier to deal with at the moment!

    Thanks Kay for my great sig & avatar!!!

    My husband sometimes teases me about the amount of time I spend on Pettalk (as if he really knows!) In my opinion if he can spend a whole Sunday polishing his motorcycle ....he's no room to tease!

    If I had to be called a geek, I'd much rather be called a pet geek. I don't think there's anything weird about it. What can I say, I'm very addicted to this site and love it here.

    Sara: same with my husband. He's the guy with the 2000 CDs of classical music and he notices every single time I go to the computer

    Thankfully my hubby loves kitties like I do .... but he prefers to spend his time being a PlayStation Geek! He is just happy that I have something to spend my time on....so he can spend his time playing his games without me getting upset!!!!

    they certainly DO know everything don't they?
    to be considered a pet geek, by a 14 year old... oh no, what will you ever do to overcome such horrible fate? I'm sure at that age, to be called a geek is terrible, did you feign shock and heartache when he said that?

    I'm just a geek in general, and I love that about myself. I'd much rather be a geek then an idiot. To show how geeky I am, a few months ago I was at a bar and someone came up to me and told me I look like a Vulcan from Star Trek because I have that weird Spock haircut, I got so excited it made my night.

    Thanks for the great signature Kay!

    I merely reminded him that it was this "GEEK" who installed and configured our home network, which allows him access to the internet via ADSL from his room, as well as enabling him to play games against his friends over the network........he kept VERY quiet after that.
