Having had an awesome first burn this year, I am already formulating my grumpy musings along that very line for next year.

TPBM managed to sign up to Obamacare.

no, checked on the price though, $12,000 is a little to much for me, if I lose my job/coverage right now I will be fucked.

TPBM wonders why women feel the need to always share reproductive problems with everyone, while men only like to share major injuries and or scars?

I'll be sure to show you my colostomy take down scar next time we meet.
TPBM also picked up creepy undertones in goathead's statement.

Nope. Just misogyny.

It means that the sun reflects off the Pacific Ocean and produces more light. Great for photography. (Isn't that why you live there, Eric?) Seriously, the people in Nebraska just don't have as much light as we do.
TPBM can elaborate nicely on what I just wrote.

Nope not at all.
As to the above. Creepy? Misogyny? Whatever, women seem to share medical problem among friends more then men do.
Fuck men don't even like to share our problems with our own doctors.

More like bloated. I had the waffle special, waffle, "two" eggs and two pieces of bacon. That was more like six eggs. Or the eggs are from large geese. Or... a single ostrich egg. I don't know why I didn't leave more on the plate.
tpbm thinks that by ordering only two eggs, I only had to eat the equivalent of the 7 eggs I got.

I'm a firm believer in only eating the amount you're hungry for. If you were hungry for those 19 eggs, by gum eat them! If not, leave what you don't want.



tpbm can only think of the "starving children in India" when they look at the food they can't eat that's still on their plate.

Was told that often enough as a kid. My response was that if i got something I liked they would not have to mail it to Africa.
Of course that did not go over well with my parents.

I do! I'm ambushing my campmates at a costume party to show off a tiny-scale demo of what I want our camp's theme to be next year.

TPBM is starting the weekend early and skipping work/school tomorrow.

Not quite skipping the whole day, but it's 3pm here in the future and this is my last bit of admin before I head out the door.

TPBM will drink a pint of cider on my behalf as I still have another fecking week of Ocsober to go.
