I think he had to be up to something to get all the stuff he had......either stealing it or dealing drugs maybe to get the money to afford it.
I just counted and excuse if I have this wrong, but what I can remember he had:
4 laptops
3 phones
3 cameras
blackberry
wii
ps2
Gameboy
I actually think I am missing another game type device.
I know kids are spoilt but this seems to be too many multiples of items.
Also now I understand why someone thought it funny that I described the tech devices as blueberries......haha just noticed it is blackberry. They are not as popular here as they are in America....... I am sure I have called them blueberries in real conversation as well....:blushing:
Hmm. The only thing that actually gives me pause is the
4 laptops. I could see two--one for mom, on for TH.
Three phones--two people live in the house. One might not be activated. Could be old-or the last phone one of them used before replacing it. When we get new phones, only about 25% of the time are they still 'new enough/nice enough' for my hubby to resell it on eBay. The rest, we have kept as 'spares' in case one of our newer phones dies/is broken/is lost before we can get our 'new every two' free phone.
Three cameras....maybe seems like one too many. We have two. Our newest one. And the one it replaced. Which mostly sucks, but is probably not worth selling, but.... (I swear we're not hoarders, but it's hard to make yourself throw away a 'not dead' electronic that may have at one time cost a minimum of $100!) :scared:
Blackberry may be retired/not active and was just one of their old phones. That would be 4 phones for two people. 2 active/two retired.
And as the mother of a 15 year old (and the wife of 40 something man who was the driving force behind WHY exactly our boy needed each new device as they came out
ullhair: ....) I am ashamed to admit we have: a very actively used xBox, a dusty ps2, two long forgotten Gameboys (one boy/one girl), and a Game cube somewhere with cobwebs. I think there's a misguided belief that if we hang onto the Gamecube long enough, it will be a collectors item. :sigh:
You can (and we have!) buy a lot of these systems second hand for a lot cheaper than they are when they first come out.
So, to conclude .... 4 laptops and the 3 cameras for two people are the only items that personally give me pause. And more pause on the laptops than the cameras. :twocents: and MOO!
ETA: Now as to whether all these items belonged to TH exclusively and how he came to own them? IDK. Could be ill gotten gains, but also it appears he did work at times, these items could have been second hand, if he did work, he's likely only got a car payment and maybe insurance, not like he has rent to pay AFAIK. He also could have gotten them over time as gifts from mom.
