The person below me

[theCryptofishist]

no. others may use them on my behalf.

TPBM doesn't understand half the stuff on this board.

[gaminwench]

Yeah, I don't read russian or Japanese...

TPBM is already over booked with playa activities...

[theCryptofishist]

No, just pre-playa activities.

TPBM can't wait to hit that Reno all-you-can-eat buffet.

[lemur]

you aint kidding.. already bought the stool softener..

speaking of...

TPBM thought a burner was something you left in the porta potty

[Asherbeez]

Only after eating some really spicy Mexican or Indian food Though I've heard eating ice cream for dessert after really spicy food helps to reduce the ring of fire effect.

TPBM questions the validity of that claim

[illy dilly]

I suppose it depends on the person ability to deal with lactose. I'd believe it for most non-lactose intolerant folks.

TPBM is questioning where the first four days of this week went.

[gaminwench]

What?? It's FRIDAY??? how???

TPBM is torn between social pre-burn events and prep...

[theCryptofishist]

Luckily, I'm an introverted (unskilled) nerd, so don't have a social life.

TPBM can't wait to see my ponies, but think it's bad form of me to put it into this thread like that.

[Foxfur]

Indeed, I can hardly wait to see them.
Bad form? From one shameless self promoter to another I must say you've done just fine! Yay you!

[MyDearFriend]

TPAM is totally ignoring me, not an unusual occurrence for a woman my age...

TPBM has much better manners.

[Eric]

I was raised well, I have functional manners even if I get yelled at for using "Ma'am".


TPBM thinks "ma'am" is perfectly polite to use with any age woman

[MyDearFriend]

Personally, sir, I find it quite charming.

TPBM is looking forward to hugging people up close, instead of from a polite distance.

[Rabbette]

I love a good hug and really only know how to accomplish that up close.

TPBM has a baby they would like to trade for a ticket!

[OregonRed]

Nope. Got my ticket. And my "baby" comes to TTITD w/ me.

TPBM is planning to spend their whole weekend finishing projects for TTITD.

[Asherbeez]

That's next weekend. I have Friday off, so I plan to "finish" as much as possible over those three days.

TPBM prefers high-fives over hugs

[illy dilly]

Some times. After you and a friend have finally gotten that last T post out of the ground, its much more fun to High five than hug. That, and I'm often very sweaty during the day, and don't necessarily like to wipe my sweat on people.

TPBM thinks high fives are for little league baseball teams and bowling leagues, not the playa.

[yurtgirl]

nope, i like high 5's

TPBM wants some spam and rice for a playa meal.

[Frostyfire]

FALSE. eeeewwwwwwwwwwww blech spam .. ugh



TPBM: is nervous as hell about performing in the great circle this year



(i know im anxious as all hell)

[theCryptofishist]

No. I don't even go to the big burns. I cannot behave myself.
TPBM is planning two trips next year.

[lemur]

i plan out my trips to the porta pottys well ahead of time and let everyone know about it.. last year it was 3 trips.


TPBM celebrates being "Regular" on playa

[gaminwench]

it's true, I love my daily granola!

TPBM has trouble getting out of camp...

[ygmir]

false: I have trouble staying in camp, working 13 shifts, and, visiting friends.

TPBM wants to play out a secret fetish at Retrofrolic

[Foxfur]

Oh ho ho ho ho.... Ahhh YES. You fuckin betcha! Haven't decided which one yet but I have a couple weeks. Can I get a menu???

TPBM has the secret to long term food preservation using playa dust....

[Trishntek]

It may be preserved, but not necessarily edible,,,

TPBM knows TTITD changes lives in phenomenal ways

[Elorrum]

Yes. and over and over as well.

tpbm is looking at the clean new things, and trying to fix that image in their mind, and then is saying goodbye to the clean new thing look.

[swampdog]

and happily so - I prefer the dusty look.

TPBM better get their ass in gear on the day job so it's around when they get back.

[theCryptofishist]

No. They love me. Or at least like me a lot.

TPBM threw a disgraced project away this week.

[Trishntek]

drumming keyboard with fingers,,,,, ,,,,, ,,,,, ,,,,, no disgrace I can think of at present

TPBM has been transformed by TTITD and just might share a wee bit about it

[Eric]

Transform me? No. Recharge my batteries- absolutely. I am lucky enough to have spent the last (almost) 25 years with an amazing man who lets me, and us, grow & develop over the years. No need to transform when you are who you need to be.

TPBM understands that statement

[Trishntek]

FULLY! I simply wish I was raised in the environment that encouraged me to be me instead of conforming to the status quo. Guess you could call me a late bloomer.

TPBM is also a late bloomer
