The person below me

[Ratty]

Yes I do, (northern California), and no I don't have a hard time. Water retention gives me high blood pressure so the instant dehydration makes me feel like Superwoman for the whole 2 weeks. Dr. approved remedy.

TPBM needs a nap. NOW!

[lucky420]

Yes! Nap time is the best time.

TPBM is an early to bed early to riser...

[southern crone]

No, most days I work 11a.m. or 12 to 8:30 or 9 p.m. Late to bed and late to rise, with the exception of taking my dog out when he comes to my bedroom door and says, "go".

TPBM works shift work.

[Eric]

Ha! I work in the "nightclub industry" - no shifts and even my not-at-the-club work hours are odd. I do so love going to bed when I want and waking up when my body is bored of sleeping.



tpbm also has a job where they rarely ever have to set an alarm to get up

[Ratty]

That would be me. go to bed at midnight or later. Wake up when I wake up.

TPBM has an appointment they may just whiff on.

[MFOB]

I might just whiff on a Court date I have set for this Thursday and pay the damn fine. I got an important conference call regarding some playa art 1 hour after court. Last name at the end of the line, doubt ill make the call on time, but somehow BM is more important that court.

TPBM has gotten a speeding ticket lately.

[Thecatman]

The last speeding ticket I got WAS in this century so that is recent. It was in 2004, I was driving for a flatbed trucking company in Reno. Was on my way to La Puente CA, in the LA area with a very light load of foam insulation, going S/B on 395 down the long hill into Bishop. Trucks are restricted to 35mph and I was going double nickels. The female smoky let me off at 45. I had one of my cats with me.



TPBM has never received a traffic violation

[BeeWeeDee]

If ever there was a thread killer.... But 40 years driving and I've had two (improper passing) and speeding (85 in a 65).

TPBM buys lottery tickets and has fantasies about what they would do with the money.

[MFOB]

Shit yeah I do. Id re-open Caravancicle for ALL the people!!!

TPBM would like a nice rug for their domicile at the burn.

[Eric]

Why would I bring a nice rug? It'll be just end up as off-white & ruined as a bad rug, it'll just cost more.



tpbm isn't so much about the fancy domicile at BMan

[Elorrum]

True.
tent, shade, less cold stuff.

tpbm might even sleep at ground level.

[fernley1]

Yes, this year down sizing and sleeping in a tent.

TPBM would like a big RV on the playa this year.

[southern crone]

Nope, I would love to be there in my 1985 Vanagon, with a pop up shower tent and camp potty,( my Burning Man fantasy). Of course, I would need a ticket and a way to get my van there without driving it across country.

TPBM flies in and sleeps in their plane.

[ranger magnum]

The trip to and from the Playa is such a part of my vacation, I couldn't imagine not doing it. So while I could fly in, I never would.

Tpbm is getting their groove on

[Eric]

Always


tpbm remembers when this thread used to be really active

[ranger magnum]

I think so. Crypto used to post a lot more....

Tpbm will join me and others to resurrect this thread to its once former glory...

[Thecatman]

Count me in, I've liked this thread since it's inception


TPBM is not interested in the boxing match tonight

[Eric]

What boxing match? Seriously, I have no idea.



tpbm also finds themselves clueless about sporting events

[ranger magnum]

I don't care much about them. Some friends and I used to go to a sports bar for Monday night football a few years ago. Not that we were interested in football, but because it gave us a chance to get together once a week. Since we had a scheduled time at a scheduled place, it made it easy to schedule this time into our busy lives. Plus the food was great and the price was low.

Tpbm has a social ritual

[gaminwench]

Yes. I participate in a drinking and dining group that has a singing problem, every Sunday evening.

TPBM lacks creative outlets ...

[ranger magnum]

Quite the opposite.... I have many. Although they are all automotive related.

Tpbm has been spring cleaning this weekend.

[southern crone]

No, but I plan on starting early tomorrow on my off day. Clean and do laundry, sort winter and summer clothes, cut grass, plant 5 fruit trees and bath dog.

TPBM makes doggie bath time a fun play time.

[Eric]

I have cats. I am not suicidal enough to try to bathe them.


tpbm has an unusual favorite comfort food

[gaminwench]

Brie and Bushmills?

TPBM reads at least two books a week ...

[Thecatman]

I'm not into reading. If I read one book in two years, that's a lot, but I do read two newspapers a day.....The Nevada Appeal and Reno Gazette/Journal


TPBM reads real books donates their used/read books to Goodwill, library etc for others to read

[Eric]

I read real books, but I hold on to anything I liked. Most of mine are non-fiction, and I like having a huge library of information at hand that doesn't rely on electricity. Books I don't like are donated or traded.


tpbm would go crazy if they don't have something to read

[southern crone]

No, I don't read books as much as I would like to. I like to pick a book up and read it from beginning to end in one sitting. I read more how to craft books, news, fitness and weight lifting magazines and cookbooks.

TPBM can have several books started reading at the same time.

[gaminwench]

Yep. Something historical, something music/theater related, and a biography is the usual ...
( I miss having the space for a library at home).

TPBM thinks the little 'free libraries' in neighborhoods are genius.

[tamarakay]

I do! And if we get the new place in town I will be building one!
Also, for the record, I have never had a ticket in my life. I have been pulled over a few times, but never got the ticket. 95 in a 55 didn't result in ticket either! I don't know why.

TPBM has tips on how to start over.

[MFOB]

I don't have any tips per se, But I wish I did. I feel like I'm heading in that direction s well.

TPBM is going camping this coming weekend.
