Although my history includes a lot of incidents of public reversals of that nature, none of the locations could be called landmarks, though some were touristy.
tpbm can't remember the last time they wrote a check in a store for a purchase. I was behind a guy today in the supermarket line, and it was a slight surprise to see him pull out his checkbook.

Not really. The centers are way too sweet. There is a variant called "double-stuff"; I'm waiting for the "half stuff".
tpbm like baking his or her own cookies. (And doesn't have weird flashes of what that might mean on urban dictionary.)

Yep. Usually I don't realize it is half baked until I am executing it. Then I go "uh-oh, now what?"

No, I was accepted to be an apprentice to a famous artist. Backed out and went to a Jr.college instead. Oh the " What ifs".

OMG no. That first drink tonight would lead to a death spiral. I do look forward to a dash of bitters and sparkling soda though.

TPBM can whistle dixie.

Sadly, due to the shape of my tongue I can neither whistle dixie (or anything else) nor roll my "r"s.

My body doesn't process or filter alcohol very well. I have a strong aversion to it. A nurse rubbing a spot to give me a shot can give me the sweats. Makes me the life of the party, not.

TPBM feels they are often on the verge of being in a state of levitation.

It confuses me, and it seems like there's nothing there that ks couldn't take care of. I really get confused when it's used in chinese transliteration. I thought it was supposed to be "ch" but maybe it isn't...
tpbm reads a foreign language. (and while we're at it, what's up with that g in foreign?)

Sadly not. I can understand a little itsy-bitsy tinsy-winsy bit of German, but not enough to read (or communicate, or order food, or hook up with a hot boy)
