The person below me

[OregonRed]

Every day. Isn't that part of it all?

TPBM misses someone.

[Trishntek]

yeah i sure do,,, but I hope she'll come to our potluck tonight

TPBM take themselves way too seriously,,, and knows they need to lighten up

[theCryptofishist]

OH, crud. I do my best.
TPBM loved Crud Awakening--a local piece of the new "Midden Art" school.

[maryanimal]

I've lived an uneducated in the Arts life...*sigh*

tpbm will accept you at face value!

[theCryptofishist]

I'm actually sort of a naif...
TPBM gives new depth to the word "cynic".

[Eric]

Think of me as the happy cynic. I think that's a form of depth...


tpbm see the silver lining and ignores the clouds

[Simon of the Playa]

HELL FUCKING YEAH!

tpbm loves a good, simple burrito.

[theCryptofishist]

The cheese has to be melted. Not very mexican, but then neither s the burritto.
TPBM wonders why I know how to spell either, yet always transpose the first e and the i in "neither".

[Sail Man]

Ummm, isn't it c before I when following e? Or is it I before C when after e? Or is it......damn!

tpbm for the life of them can't spell brekfast iether

[moonrise]

^Don't you have a burn to put on?? lol, git to work SM! let's have Brecky!! Correct?

TPBM loves to make "playa angels"

[theCryptofishist]

That's because I have muesli, and I keep forgetting how to umlaut.
By which I mean, no playa angels, I'm never sure if I can get up.
The person below me wants to join in my emergency PolkaKamp (in case of emergency, unpack camp) planning...

[catinthefunnyhat]

Emergency polka camp! If only that were real... I think it might need to be part of the disaster contingency plan you were talking about!
MREs, secret porta-potty stash, and emergency polka camp! I'll be hoping for a flood (not quite).

TPBM doesn't pray and sometimes feels awkward in situations where the cultural norm is to say "I'm praying for you."

[TomServo]

That is true but I just say "Praise Cthulhu"
TPBM remembers the gas shortage of 1979

[FIGJAM]

And it was still 89 cents a gallon!!!!!!!!

TPBM wonders if the oil price bubble will burst like the housing did.

[catinthefunnyhat]

No, I don't think it will. It's never really seemed a "bubble" to me in the same way.
ETA: I am in no way pretending to be knowledgeable about the issue. Just opinionated.

TPBM always reads the fucking manual.

[theCryptofishist]

No, I'm a plunge in and make a fool of myself sort of fish.
TPBM is a careful planner.

[catinthefunnyhat]

It depends. Sometimes planning is more fun than doing. Sometimes planning is a way to avoid doing. In those cases, yes, I spend a lot of time planning. However, I often throw those plans to the wind once the time comes for action. And any planning that's not fun, fuggedaboudit.

TPBM got locked out of his or her house recently.

[SquirrelHead]

I got locked out about a month ago. A very rare occurrence for me.

tpbm has a long list of things to do today.

[theCryptofishist]

Only if I open the can of worms that is my garage.
TPBM has organized things so that she has a good rest today.

[catinthefunnyhat]

Nope. I've done 3 loads of laundry, taken out 2 loads of recycling, and still have to do dishes, take out garbage, and tidy up all the crap that's lying around -- in the next 2 hours, because I've got plans to go out after that.

TPBM is shocked that someone can get so behind in basic housekeeping.

[lucky420]

No not shocked at all

TPBM used to live with someone who was quite anal about housework and therefor has rebelled against the principle of keeping a squeaky clean house because there is always something more fun to do.

[Trishntek]

Oh Yes! She has a regular schedule for each day and each room so every room was cleaned thoroughly EVERY FUGGUN WEEK!

TPBM isn't dirty,,,, just untidy

[Sail Man]

Wellllll, I wouldn't say untidy. Maybe un-stored is more like it



tpbm also creates lists of what is stored in what tote where, but also can't seem to find THAT DAMN LIST! Argh!

[Eric]

Lord, not even close. It's more of a vague "I think it's in that pile over there"



tpbm suddenly has too much to do in too little time

[SquirrelHead]

I am not sure I would say suddenly but yes, there is always too much to do and not enough time to do it.

tpbm has been able to cross off a few things from the never ending list of things to do.

[catinthefunnyhat]

Yes! I got my spring gardening done yesterday, and I did a bunch of housework today in anticipation of going out to a movie tonight. Then the movie was sold out Of course, since the list is, in fact, neverending, there are plenty of chores I could be doing in lieu of the movie. But I think I'd prefer to sit here and sulk.


TPBM has tied him/herself in knots trying to cheer up a loved one who was sulking, only to eventually figure out that person would rather keep sulking.

[Trishntek]

Actually the best therapy for sulking is tying her up and give her a good spanking

TPBM believes corporal punishment is excessively abusive

[catinthefunnyhat]

Hey, as long as you're all adults, and everyone respects the safe word, I'm not bothered.

TPBM has been inside a safe.

[Eric]

A job I had for 14 years had a huge walk-in safe I was in everyday (and inside that was a safe from the 1890's we kept our cash in! Gorgeous!)


tpbm loves the Victorian/Edwardian flair for making things pretty, not just functional...

[Trishntek]

Yeah, it was an old bank in Rawlins, Wy that was turned into a museum

Sheeesh I love victorian era medical equipment and machinations of that time and spend a lot of time creating furniture which compliments such things

TPBM has actually stopped in Rawlins, WY for a fuel stop or a meal
