I did today as a mattered fact. The contractors state license board. The only state agency worse than the DMV.

TPBM is enjoying the Olympics.

Oh, heavens no. I am enjoying Andy Borowitz on the Olympics. I like my quatraannual, over-the-top, cheesily politicized, sports fests snarky.
TPBM thinks that the Olympics are there to keep people from getting too bored when there are no real wars.

Yeah, unless you are reading the op-ed from the guy that thinks folks who liked Yulia Liptniskaya's are Nazis...

TPBM has never been snowboarding.

Snowboarding??? Nope. Nope. Nope.

Had a bad experience skiing as a kid. A rented ski fell off mid lift. Lots of pointing and laughing. Never tried again. If I'm going to slide down a snow covered slope on my ass, it will be by design, not accident.

TPBM has been snowtubing at night.

Once as a kid went "tubing" (used a old car hood) at dusk north of Reno, pretty scary.

TPBM wants to go sking this weekend.

Ah, once again I am answering one of these questions on tpbm...
I don't see it as feasible, might be the best answer.
tpbm wants to go swimming with the sharks--although that might not be possible either.

mum's the word. I don't have a good way, usually I end up in an argument over something dumb.

Actually watering plants or a garden with a hose is a good way to settle down. Anything with water works for me. I like to clean the fountains at work.

tpbm really has a secret way to relieve stress.

Actually type A+
Pretty common and if I ever need a transfusion it would be readily available - I hope.

TPBM likes to use red vines as improvised straws to make a cherry coke.

When I was a kid, yes. Now I rarely ever drink soda, and if I do I'm not wasting it on a Coke (it would be some good vanilla creme, or root beer)


tpbm prefers an obscure brand of soda/pop

I dunno. I'm sure there's evil waxers trying to catch you unawares--doesn't sound relaxing.

I may have, but it was a ski vacation with a very crazy evening... nuf said. If I was to do that, I would like it to be a quiet pool, not a rumbling jacuzzi.
tpbm has not had a very snowy life.

Tis true....I've only been in snow a handful of times. Not that I don't like the idea, but a warm day on the beach is preferable.

Actually, no. I just had quite a long one and ought to be getting to work.
