Ya a bit but the media makes me pissed off about the whole thing.

tpbm like the smell of snuggle fabric softener on fresh laundry.

No! But then I am allergic to fragrances so those things can knock me out with bad headaches.

TPBM is lucky enough to work in a fragrance free environment.

I wish. Not that I often notice such things, so I'm probably okay.
TPBM wants to work in an environment with lots of natural light.

I do!! Right now 4pm to 12:30am then a break and back from 2:00am to 5am.

I like working late at night though. I work from home so just get to hang in my Jammies.

How in the world does one get paid to drink a milkshake!?

Not the current SO but it was occasionally an issue with the last one.

It was combination of Sunday double time rates, technical issues not being considered and a workplace that manages to combine government bureaucracy and clients with a shit-tonne of money. There was nothing for me to do so I went and got a milkshake, sat around for a bit and then was sent home 3 hours early.

TPBM likes strawberry milkshakes best.

No, chocolate malt, or mocha. But always huckleberry, when they're in season in late summer.

I do but I'm off Tuesday. I'd bet a dollar to a dog biscut that half the work force already scheduled the day off with their foreman. I could call off since I'm just shy of 700hrs of sick time. I have a six day weekend during Thanksgiving.

TPBM hopes the weather stays like this til April, like it was in the Reno area today...high 70s :mrgreen:

While I like this nice weather, id love a nice thunder storm. With lots of rain. And hail. And snow levels at 3000' so I can go wheelin locally.

Heck, for most of my life, cheese has been too intense for me. Depending, of course, on the cheese and the other ingredients and the preparation. Crackers are often charmless in other ways.
tpbm also enjoyed the toning down of an over sensitive palate in recent years.

That's what I had for lunch today. Ritz crackers with taco seasoned cream cheese and an Orange Crush soda.

Healthier? Different. Fried chicken, fried okra, butter beans, mashed potatoes, peas and cornbread, blueberry cobbler for dessert, and tea.

TPBM loves to cook home grown veggies.

Veggies and I are wary around each other.
And there's no way I can "also" with myself, barring using the time machine.
tpbm is going to offer up a sweet bribe for use of the time machine.

No because I'm terrified I'd go back to some point in time where women were considered chattel. That wouldn't be so long ago really. I'd probably either be burned as witch, put into an insane asylum or be set up in a brothel somewhere...
