So, I'm at my wife's uncle's house for dinner tonight, and it's gossip time.

I don't mind the phones calls during dinner, etc.  

Are you full at breakfast/lunch/dinner?

A lot of this you'll begin to understand after watching/listening to podcasts or reading books/blogs/these forums.When you hear something that could lead to a potential deal, follow up on it immediately.My last deal came from a dinner with a few other couples.

Cheap or Fair;Cheap is nice when you have a lot of time to go looking for the cheapest guy in town that's just trying to buy himself a loaf of bread for dinner.. fair is when your willing to use the same vendors over and over at the price that you both view as fair.

We meet monthly at dinner meetings, and host educational seminars and workshops like Landlord 101 and the Ugly House Tour.  

For some reason it reminds me of my roommate in college who would borrow money from me, and then offer to "pay me back" by treating me to an expensive steakhouse dinner, which is something I didn't even want...

Buy them lunch, drinks or dinner if you have to.

I actually heard about the the Dinner with a Mentor meet up through Rod Khleif's podcast. 

I am a fan, just not of the president heheI bet you a dinner at Mancy's that it won't take affect on August 16th?
