The person below me

[MFOB]

Not all the time, but once I did while getting a root canal. Note to self and others, have an Oral Surgeon do root canals, my dentist tried and took him 3 hours before he patched me up enough to sedn me to an OS. Pain in the tooth!

TPBM has a gold crown.

[southern crone]

No, a couple of white ones and a few old lead colored fillings I'm slowly replacing.

TPBM has fallen asleep while driving.

[MFOB]

I almost have. I stop pull over and nap if I have to. Closest I got was coming home on a Sunday night to go to work after a Motely Crue and Alice Cooper concert in Seattle. Driving home to eastern WA and I almost took a digger off the side of the road on Snoqualmie Pass. I pulled over immediately and took a nap at the rest area. Scared the shit out of me.

TPBM likes grilled cheese sammiches in the morning.

[Elorrum]

It's not a common practice, but yes, I would be happy with a morning grilled cheese sandwich.
I am in a habit of nuking 1/3C oatmeal, water to cover, and about a tablespoon or raisins, 2 minutes. every work day morning.
for special variation: add frozen mango, 3 min.

tpbm thinks 10am is a perfect first meal time on days off.

[Eric]

I don't wake up by 10am on work days, there's no way I'm up that early on a day off.




tpbm sleeps past noon fairly regularly

[gaminwench]

yup. night owl.

TPBM is a morning lark.

[MikeGyver]

Currently due to work starting at 7am but I prefer to sleep in and stay up late.

TPBM just doesn't sleep

[goathead]

I do sleep, just not very much. It hurts way to much.

tpbm uses sex, as a sleep aid.

[MFOB]

I'm not sure if it works that way. Staying up all night or until the early morning for a good time means going to bed at unreasonable times. Therefore the sleep after wards is always good but much shorter and I'm even more tired.

TPBM binges Netflix on weekends.

[Elorrum]

oh yes... and other new t.v. on youtube in various qualities. I just watched 5 episodes of Humans a new AMC, and episode 5 I swear was running at about 1.25x speed. Still a good find.
my weekend being M-w.

tpbm doesn't know what OITNB stands for.

[theCryptofishist]

Nope. I'm totally ignorant.
tpbm is sorry I wasn't here for the shoe discussion.

(edited to add: I had 5 pages of catch up in this thread...)

[MFOB]

Only if you had really good ideas on shoes n boots.

TPBM loves OITNB especially Crazy Eyes or the new girl Stella

[Eric]

Never watched it, but I met Laverne Cox through her twin brother back when he (the brother) was a regular performer at a club in SF in the late 90s.



tpbm has a "I met a (semi)famous person before they were famous" story

[gaminwench]

Yep, worked in community theatre with Zac Levi when he was a teenager. He grew up to play Chuck in the show of the same name, then voiced the prince in Tangled, then was *somebody* in Thor, now he has a new series about to begin shooting. Incredibly talented young man, and one of the nicest folks you'll ever meet. Humble, too.

TPBM has never met a famous person.

[Elorrum]

I've never met one that I was already a fan of. I did sit with a man named Harry Wu one day, editing his video for hours, and felt quite honored by the experience.

tpbm is drinking coffee.

[MFOB]

No. Just water. For some reason the taste of Coffee is terrible to me. Most people around me drink it in the AM and iced crap with all that sugar in it in the PMs.

TPBM has some cool new shades. (Sunglasses)

[southern crone]

No, I wear glasses. They do darken in the sun. I too dislike coffee. I hate to bite into a luscious piece of chocolate and taste coffee, (mocha).

TPBM loves Tiramisu.

[BeeWeeDee]

Yep. Most likely I loved it for the alcohol content. In fact any thing doused and saturated with alcohol was a love object. Even better if it could support a pale blue flame. But alas, no more.

TPBM has had "Baked Alaska"

[MFOB]

Never heard of it, but just googled it. Holy shit, I'm on the hunt now. Looks delicious.

TPBM bring Ice Cream cakes to the playa.

[FaeTora]

No. Just water. For some reason the taste of Coffee is terrible to me. Most people around me drink it in the AM and iced crap with all that sugar in it in the PMs.

TPBM has some cool new shades. (Sunglasses)

I love coffee but cant stand sugar.

Even on the playa, I just drink coffee with a little milk to cut the acidity. Though first thing in the AM i usually drink a propel for the electrolytes.

[Eric]

I'll get back to the skipped question:
I don't bring milk products to the playa - lactose intolerance & blue rooms do not mix well.




tpbm has had "ice cream" made with coconut milk


(psst, Faetora - this is a weird thread. You answer the question in the last post, then ask one yourself. You can add comments in it, but answer "The Person Above Me", and leave a question for tpbm [The Person Below Me])

[Savannah]

As a matter of fact, I've just tried coconut milk ice cream at a little local ice cream shop for the first time about a month ago ("Mexican chocolate" coconut milk ice cream) and it was fantastic! It's so creamy and gelato-like. I had NO idea.

The person below me will tell me the most unusual ice cream flavor they've ever enjoyed.

[BoyScoutGirl]

Soba noodle flavored soft ice cream. Too weird to pass up, even for Japan standards. The flavor was spot-on! Also had pumpkin, and black pepper. I was too chicken to try the wasabi soft ice cream.

The person below had briefly forgotten this thread existed...something, something object permanence.

[southern crone]

Briefly

TPBM is starting to realize going to Burning Man is a reality for them this year.

[goathead]

snort, blow coffee through nose
for me there is no escape

tpbm prefers neckties instead of handcuffs

[southern crone]

Pearls

TPBM thinks a big beautiful night sky is very romantic, (brings out the animal instincts).

[goathead]

Nope, after working about 35 years of nights, well just another night at work.
Unless we are burning shit and blowing stuff up


tpbm also has a hard time thinking up questions to ask tpbm

[robbidobbs]

I just post whatever pops into my head. So much easier since i stopped drinking On any kind of regular basis. Thirsty? Oh yes, beer should fix that :/

TPBM is working on getting their hydration up and exercising daily now so they won't fall apart in the desert.

[theCryptofishist]

Nope. Fuck the desert. It's too vicious for me.
tpbm has walked dogs for money.

[Eric]

Nope, though I did babysit a brat once.



tpbm also thinks cooked carrots are an abomination
