There are other things in my head that give rise to great concerns, and earworms are not one of them.

Tpbm has a craving for good, and I mean fucking GOOD bbq.

Not this moment.
TPBM has great sympathy for the loss I feel when I look at the 2 hour and 24 minute gap between my post and the one of tpbm. Why wasn't I seen? and if you're going to plonk me, I have no quarrel. If you're going to plonk me, and be tpbm fucking look at the post and respond to it, not to the one I responded to.

Sorry for your feeling of loss, theCryptofishist. Perhaps tpbm was reading down the list of tpbm's and didn't realize your comment was on the next page.

Tpbm is beginning to plan their health routine in preparation for 2015 Burning Man.

And a big fooking pile of laundry it is, too! Fortunately my machine doesnt need quarters, so I need another excuse.

TPBM is thinking of renaming their cat "Larry". :mrgreen:

Not since NYE 91 or 92. Went to a party in a warehouse where they chainsawed then burned a racoon they found (already dead).
tpbm has another warehouse party story.

last warehouse party I went to was a crazy "rent party" in the early 90s with the freaks of SF. I don't actually remember enough to have stories (and I still don't know how I got out when the cops raided the place)

I have a semi photographic memory. There are glitches. Namely my keys and my phone, it is a neverending struggle to locate where i put them down.

Tpbm remembers phone numbers still in their mind instead of a contact list.

I could, but I don't really ever drink, save for a beer every month or two.

I spent 10 hours standing Saturday. I plan to stay off my feet and be lazy as possible Sunday, with the exception of laundry and painting.

TPBM can think of better things to do while staying off their feet.

I refuse to think about either one. Except I like it that the Packers are owned by the town, not by billionaire, drama-seeking meglomaniacs. I hate them because I had an asshole boyfriend who loved them.
tpbm is glad I didn't get right below southern crone and answer the foot question.

I don't do mandatory presents, so no gifts need to be found. People will get random gifts randomly throughout the year when I find something that makes me think of them, just like I've been doing for the last 15 or so years.


If tpbm could go back to school right now with no financial worries, what would be their dream subject to study?

Dentistry. Especially where I could get good at doing root canals, then open a practice where I could eventually lure a former supervisor into the chair and inject a fake, non-numbing Novocaine into her soft palate with a dull needle and proceed to drill into the nerve slow and methodically.

Yes, made it to the grocery store after work. My share of Christmas dinner is German Chocolate cake, string bean casserole and deviled eggs.

TPBM has a favorite dish they like to share with friends and family.

My cooking is something to be avoided, but my dad did make oyster dressing for Christmas and that is a favorite of mine.
