The person below me

[clocksnmirrors]

if i wanted a fireworks show with less than 100 people i'd call my mother and get in another argument with her


tpbm is not ashamed to enjoy the tv show modern family

[theCryptofishist]

I don't really have time for tv. I'm old. I love reading. Every hour spent watching tv is one less hour to do something I love. Not really about shame.
tpbm gave up non-burner travel.

[fernley1]

No, I love to travel when I go camping.

TPBM lives within 3 hours of the playa.

[theCryptofishist]

Nope. And I make it even longer by staying hte night in Reno each way.
tpbm thinks cheese with ginger or dried apricots is an offense to god and man and a sign of too much foodie.

[Eric]

If you're talking about being on a cheese plate together I'm fine with it (depending on the cheese used, of course)
Inside the cheese? Foul, repugnant, and stupid.




tpbm feels the same about bacon being added to everything because: trendy

[shroom]

there aren't many cheeses I don't like, and bacon is yummy but I'll take it plain.
TPBM has been berry picking this summer

[jneilvindy]

So far only strawberries, mulberries and blackberries. Still waiting on grapes to be ripe. (are grapes even a berry??)

tpbm is in full on not ready for burningman mode

[Eric]

other than being on eplaya daily? I never start getting ready until late July/ early Aug. Though I should test my lights soon & get replacements ordered if needed.



tpbm is in work-avoidance mode.

[shroom]

I am. I only work part time now as I have one year of college left. I'm in avoid the chores mode.

TPBM wants to go back to college.

[fernley1]

I would love to go back to college and use my post 9-11GI Bill.

TPBM has got a college degree.

[Eric]

Nope. Dropped out after a semester due to boredom, and have taught myself everything I've wanted to know.



tpbm got a GED instead of finishing high school

[fernley1]

Yes, thats me. I was bored with high school, got a GED, and joined the Air Force, retiring after 26 years.

TPBM teaches at a school.

[shroom]

I have been a substitute teacher going on 9 years now. I teach pre-k to 8th grades and will teach high school band only. (my kid is a fellow band geek) I love teaching and the kids love me, but that's not what I'm going to college for. Too much politics in teaching these days.

TPBM was a 'good kid' in school

[C187]

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

TPBM has never been on probation.

[Thecatman]

Not court ordered anyway. I did one year probation when I started my current job......nine years ago.

TPBM lives out the Reno area and stores an RV and/or other BM related stuff here

[shroom]

nope and nope. I'm way over here in Georgia

TPBM likes Georgia (i do half the time, the other half I want to get out of here!)

[Thecatman]

About 20 years ago we went to Atlanta for a vacation. Went to the Coke "factory" but I really liked Stone Mountain. Columbus is nice too.

TPBM got news recently that they will be getting a pay increase this year

[theCryptofishist]

No. That was a while ago.
tpbm is thrilled to be posting on page 369.



Edited for clarity.

[shroom]

I am now, lol.
TPBM owns a cat.

[Jovankat]

Yep but she lives with my mum these days. I miss her something chronic!

TPBM doesn't work regular hours

[Eric]

That would be an understatement. Goes with my "not normal" job.


tpbm has a cubicle job - and actually enjoys it.

[shroom]

nope, i had one once
TPBM has been a carnival worker.

[GreyCoyote]

Yup. I was the guy who got stuck dispensing goldfish in bags to kids who threw ping pong balls into floating cups.

It looks great on a resume. (Go with it)

The person below me wants to pretend they are a floating cup in an olympic-sized pool.

[shroom]

I'd love to float in a pool!

TPBM is going swimming today.

[Jovankat]

Ooo maybe! It's my days off and there is a pool in my building...

TPBM rides a bike regularly outside of BRC

[Eric]

Nope. Too many damn hills.


tpbm buys a new (to them) bike for the burn every year

[clocksnmirrors]

that was true for one year in a row


tpbm likes a good curry

[Omitimo]

Tim Curry was good in Labyrinth, but he was more good in Clue.

The person below me has never eaten Pho.

[gaminwench]

I don't even know what that is.

TPBM starts a new project tomorrow.

[southern crone]

Yes, I am painting gourds for a fundraiser.

TPBM snores when exhausted.
