The person below me

[gaminwench]

No, I think of BIG ART on Treasure Island ...

TPBM is embracing the carols ...

[Eric]

Only if it's spelled "Karol" and Misa is bringing him to me from the Czech Republic.




tpbm hates christmas music, but still has a favorite christmas song.

[shroom]

I hate it when it's played in stores before December. I guess my favorite is O Holy Night.


TPBM stayed away from black friday sales

[theCryptofishist]

As always. I did have to navigate through the crowd between the alley from Mission to Market between 3rd and 4th street and the entrance to San Francisco Centre and I hated it.
tpbm is also a little agoraphobic, either kind.

[FossaFerox]

So long as I'm by myself I've always liked crowds. I'm pretty spry and can weave through a crowd with relative ease, so they offer me a comforting anonymity. It's like walking through a white out; you'll never feel as completely alone as when you're slipping through a pack of strangers. It only becomes a problem if I'm with someone else and worried about being separated or if they're people I might know/have to interact with.

As for open spaces, love 'em. Deep playa is best playa.

TPBM has been to the burn but never seen the trash fence.

[lucky420]

Been there done that

Tpbm has an unsettling feeling of displaced anger right now

[Elorrum]

yeah, I get that. The displacement is collateral damage. It's been a three a.m. wide awake doom adrenaline thing this past week. Something is going to change.

tpbm is going forward on a long term project and feels great about it.

[theCryptofishist]

A bit, yes.
TPBM is reading a fantastic book.

[fernley1]

I am reading "Burning man live, 13 years of piss clear." Fun book to check out.

TPBM is a 49er fan.

[Eric]

Traitors. Santa Clara my ass.



tpbm has plans for the evening that include enlightenment

[Elorrum]

no, I can't plan that reliably. I guess there's a path somewhere. My plans for the mundane: grocery shopping, sorting laundry, and taking the trash out.

tpbm enjoys a mundane task evening that contains no pressure.

[shroom]

sometimes that's just perfect

TPBM is watching the Star Wars marathon like I am.

[fernley1]

Not yet, but that is something I do with the grandkids during christmas break.

TPBM Saw the first Starwars movie when it first came out.

[Ratty]

Yes definitely, and that is the only one I saw.

TPBM's bologne has a first name.

[shroom]

I don't eat it often but wunderbar is the best.

TPBM has a crazy cat

[lucky420]

No I have a socially awkward dog

tpbm has a a favorite oxymoron and will tell us what it is.

mine is military intelligence

[Elorrum]

I've always liked, "guest host"

tpbm is not going to cook tonight.

[ranger magnum]

I love to cook. I like my food better than what i get at most restaraunts.

Tpbm wants to see some snow

[fernley1]

I think that in northern Nevada, we will see lots of snow tomorrow.

TPBM Hates driving in the snow.

[Thecatman]

Tpbm wants to see some snow

The hell I do. I have to be to work at 03:30am because we are forcasted to get 2-6 inches tomorrow starting around 04:00am.
I work for the state highway department which is why I have to be in so early.


TPBM was hoping the weather would stay like it has been the last few weeks until April. Then it could start warming up.

[theCryptofishist]

Okay, I will knit together the divergent questions...

I've never driven in the snow. I want rain, I'm worried about the reservoirs.

The person below me thinks I should just adjust to the coming moisture scarcity that global warming is bringing.

[BeeWeeDee]

Adapt rather than adjust really.

tpbm knows the pain of a staple shot into their thumb while attempting to free a jammed staple with their thumb

[Eric]

Nope.



tpbm has a cure for a pinched nerve that doesn't involve more alcohol

[FossaFerox]

Probably? PM me with the specifics of what you're dealing with if you like.

TPBM is more familiar with nerve pinches from sci-fi than from injury.

[fernley1]

Nerve pinches from sci-fi, only one I can think of is from Star track, when spock would do that Valcan grip thing on the bad guys neck. I have been lucky most of my life, haven't had to many pinched nerves, but a lot of people in the world get on my nerves.

TPBM is preparing for the big snow storm this weekend.

[lucky420]

Yep, getting new tires on the old land cruiser today and bought ingredients to make albondigas tomorrow

Tpbm is going out of town this weekend

[shroom]

nope staying close to home, it's been a busy week here

TPBM still reads a real newspaper (i do)

[Ratty]

Yes. but it's so tiny and sad.

TPBM loves the winter weather.

[theCryptofishist]

Depends. Going out to snow is fun, but living in it wouldn't be. This cold is kinda kicking my ass. I didn't do the full walk last night, although, we saw two (or three as we count) cats last night. One was a previously unknown bonus cat.
tpbm has adopted a previously unknown bonus cat at some point in his/her life.

[Eric]

Well, I guess this current Horde technically counts as that, since we went in only planning on adopting two & walked out with three.



tpbm falls asleep while they're working on you at the dentist
