Welcome To The Lounge

I was thinking... there are so many serious discussions on here about website creation, promotion and monetization that it's a shame we don't know much about each other.

While I'm not asking you to get too personal (I don't want to know your social security number LOL), it would be nice if there was a place we could come and get to know each other a little better and discuss other fun topics.

The only rule for this forum is...

No website creation discussions allowed!

OK, I lied. That's not the only rule. Of course all the regular forum rules like no spam, degrading other members, etc. still apply. But the point of this forum is to allow WB members to hang out and shoot the breeze.

I'll kick off the forum with a few questions...

1) What are some of your favorite TV shows?

2) What are your hobbies (besides website stuff)

3) What's your favorite vacation spot?

I'll start...

1) What are some of your favorite TV shows?
I'm a reality TV junky! I love Survivor, Big Brother, The Apprentice, America's Next Top Model, Kid Nation, you name it!

2) What are your hobbies (besides website stuff)
I love to bowl. Yes, I'm even in a bowling league on Thursday nights. (I know.. I know... bowling isn't even considered a sport by some people) I also like singing and dancing (I'm no star... but I do OK

)

3) What's your favorite vacation spot?
Hawaii.

OK, your turn!

I like the lounge, this is a good idea!

Lisa... Bowling?!??? - just kidding!

1) What are some of your favorite TV shows?
Well, considering I don't get home from lab/work until late, I usually have to record my tv shows, and watch it later on in the night. I usually record/watch 3 tv shows: Prison Break (I got hooked on it the first season, and now I cannot stop), Grey's Anatomy, and Brothers and Sisters. If I can, sometimes, I watch the new tv show called Big Shots.

2) What are your hobbies (besides website stuff)
Unfortunately, I don't have time to do anything else on a regular basis, except for going to lab, spending time with my girlfriend, and work on internet marketing. If I had the time, I like to do triathlons and play soccer.

3) What's your favorite vacation spot?
The last vacation I had was April 2006, and I went to Cabo... which was probably my most favorite vacation!

Don't have a favourite singer as I listen to a wide range of music from many different bands.

Everyone I know seems to be watching CSI, House and Grey's Anatomy. I really need to buy/rent some of the previous seasons and get up on these shows. I feel left out!

Yes, Sherif...I'm admittedly an avid bowling geek. Our team is in 4th place out of 30+ and my average is 158.

I get it from my mom. She's in the bowler's hall of fame. No lie.

Webdev and ncaditya! You need a vacation!

Techieguy, I can relate to that fresh air thing.

Same here.
