The person below me

[Thecatman]

So true. When I was in my early 20s it was. Damn glad those days are behind me.


TPBM broke a resolution already

[Savannah]

I haven't made any yet! I figure it's like writing thank you notes after a wedding; Emily Post says I can get my house in order first.

The person below will share one of their resolutions with us.

[shroom]

I'm going to finish a list of goals i've been working on for a while.
TPBM has a new years day traditional meal of some sort.

[southern crone]

Yes, my mom cooks pork ribs or ham , turnips, black eyed peas and cornbread.

TPBM has a great hangover cure to share.

[Eric]

Don't drink alcohol.


tpbm has an unusual flavor of favorite ice cream

[ranger magnum]

Rite Aid (formerly Thriftys) has great ice cream. My favorite is Medieval Madness. It's Three Musketeers flavored ice cream.
Absolutely awesome!

Tpbm needs to spend less time on eplaya

[theCryptofishist]

You don't think I got this post count by not spending time on ePlaya!

TPBM was stunned to see Eric's advice.

[Thecatman]

He's right though!


TPBM has something that has been recalled: Keurig coffee maker, GM/Toyota vehicle etc

[shroom]

my camaro,still need to take it in for the ignition to be replaced.

TPBM is fond of pretzels.

[theCryptofishist]

I have this weird obsession with the Snyder of Hangover (or Hanover, as they call themselves in stealth mode) thick pretzels. They have this weird sourdough taste. I go through a box in two sittings. So I can't buy them. Most other pretzels don't do it for me. Whatever "it" is.

(aside: I didn't say that he was wrong, Eric's always right. I just was stunned to see it coming from him.)

(Someone out there, if not tpbm, is sort of bemused that I have two hangover items in a row here.)

TPBM knows that pretzels are really just another kind of cracker. And that crackers are another kind of bread.

[shroom]

I do but they are still more delicious somehow.

TPBM has at least one annoying neighbor

[ranger magnum]

Ugh....more than one im afraid. We are up to 4 now. And that's just the people directly adjacent to me. This is the problem with having a decent size lot in suburbia.... Too many neighbors.

And then there are the neighbors on bordering streets. They tend to make my business their business...

Tpbm lives in a neighborhood that still has ice cream trucks driving through it

[lucky420]

Yes I do!

Tpbm had a lemonade stand when they were a kid

[Thecatman]

Not near as prosperous as that little girl on the tv commercials a few years back, but hey, when I was growing up and found a pop bottle that I'd take to the store and get 3 cents for,
I felt like a Rockefeller.


TPBM sucks the juice from a snow cone and throws the ice away

[southern crone]

No, I like eating ice. I like to take shaved ice, squeeze a lemon over it and sprinkle with red pepper.

TPBM has broken a tooth while eating ice or popcorn.

[gaminwench]

Nope. Never broken a tooth.

TPBM hopes for shaved ice in the neighboborhood ...

[Ratty]

I really love shave ice. The respada man used to come around the neighborhood at home. I like mine red with milk. (The mexican way.)

TPBM ate way too much in the fat holiday season.

[Eric]

Not so bad on fat, utterly horrible on the carbs. I shall be paying for this for a while.



tpbm has a food or beverage that they love, but can't get where they live (at least not "as good" as they want)

[goathead]

Tequila, habanero, ice cream, on a nice fresh strawberry.

tpbm is actually intrigued by this possible flavor mix.

[BAS]

Tequila is associated with the worst hangover of my life (in the summer of 1985) and I still avoid it. (Unless it really was a hangover I had New Year's Day-- I only had a couple shots, so I think it was something else. Stress release and/or migraine. It had some delirium along with the vomiting, sh***ing, headache, aching joints and muscles, etc. Probably another migraine.)


TPBM is only just now recovering from New Year's.

[Eric]

"on the road to recovery" would be more accurate



tpbm has their groceries delivered

[BeeWeeDee]

If you consider popping a deer from my front porch - then yes I have groceries delivered.

TPBM is happy to see the sun starting to rise earlier each day (Jan 7 where I live).

[MFOB]

It is nice to walk outside when going to work and it not being pitch black.

TPBM has something going on with a co-worker

[ranger magnum]

No, but I did "dip my pen in company ink" years ago. We were in our 20's....she worked at a local material supply house. During that companys holiday party, we discovered we were hot for one another.

While technically not a Co worker, I was at that supply house several times a day getting materials. Once we hooked up, I was there a whole lot! Even managed to "break in" the break room!

Man, I haven't thought about those days in a long time.....

Tpbm is planning to watch every episode of the original Star Trek series in order

[TomServo]

fuck No! Waiting Patiently for the new Star Wars.


TPBM misses Colbert.

[theCryptofishist]

I miss the idea of Colbert, but I don't watch much tv, or even much youtube, so it has little possible effect on me.
tpbm is hoping to be the first poster on the 400th page.

[BeeWeeDee]

Like no satisfaction can be garnered from being 1st on 391. Bah!

tpbm jumps a little when they are about to step on a snake - even an benign one.

[theCryptofishist]

I jump anytime I'm about to step.
Or something.
tpbm is already up to $5.71 in the spare change jar this year.

[MFOB]

I was up to $5.71, but then I moved something on my dresser and found I left 3 rolls of quarters behind when I took the rest to the BM Fund bank. Now I got $35.71, almost enough for a VP.

TPBM has been so broke they used spare change to buy food.

[Eric]

It's not "spare change" if you need it to buy food, and yes I have (luckily we're wizards with ramen)



tpbm is living pay-check to pay-check
