No graduation, but I do like opera.

I am not a connoisseur of formatting, so I'll take your word for it.

I'll say that I am committed to experiencing opera as much as possible. I am moved by it often, but sometimes I need a red bull to get through the whole thing. Practice practice. Oh god, that reminded me of the old joke where one guy asks another on a New York street, how to get to Carnegie hall. Check out the simulcasts from the Met in your local theaters.

edit to add: question: yikes. thanks Mary Animal.

Will the person below me will be Maryanimal?

not yet...trying to figure out the actual pattern I should use first...then cutting...then sewing. Sigh and it is not one for me!

It's true, I don't. I've seen it eat people alive.

The person below me thinks it's possible to put on your own oxygen mask before helping the person seated next to you.

Yup. My husband was a first responder--and the rule is make sure you don't become another victim.

TPBM is aware of what I'm skirting with that remark.

Not today. I work alone, usually at home. Sometimes, when I'm really miserable.... (but not really).

"Money can't buy happiness, but it can buy ice cream, which is pretty much the same thing" - Framed poster my boyfriend's mother gave us when I moved in with him. Our relationship is based on ice cream in that our ice cream time is our bonding time; we eat some most days.

TPBM keeps a mental list of people's silly secrets.

When he puts out his lamp, he sends the flower, or the star, to sleep.

I can't even keep a mental list of the stuff I have planned on my day off, so no. Down the memory hole unless its really juicy, in which case it gets shared and is no longer secret.

No...I have a 5-grain oatmeal-like stuff, only better. I put a teaspoon of butter in it, a bit of half and half, and a splash of my liquid coffee creamer. Yummmy!

tpbm needs to grocery shop and isn't looking forward to it.

Yeah, I'm satisfied that foxfur's remark was not some homophobic smear. It's nice to spend time (even board time) with very out bi-guys.
