Several to be exact but alas, there's always next year.

TPBM is hopelessly addicted to the pictures flooding in from TTITD 2011

I am but mostly due to selfish reasons...I am hoping someone snapped a picture that may show me somewhere in the background of the MnG

TPBM is not sure if they should edit their pictures before adding them to eplaya :shock:

With all the noise and grain from my old ass point and shoot, I'm going to be cleaning the whole 20 or so pictures up. If I post them to eplaya is another story... might need to think about that one. Along with were the heck did she put my camera at in the car..

TPBM left the playa way, way, before I did.
I have a little bit of Savannah with me. Shhh...

2006, so you are correct!

(Still working on getting back there. Took a State Exam for a job with better pay and no restrictions on time off in August.)


TPBM still smells playa dust.

Smell it? I'm living it. I managed to unload the vehicle but apart from gathering and doing the laundry that's about it. With any luck I'll be feeling up to tackling some of the car/gear clean up tomorrow.

TPBM - either left something or left with something of great sentimental value on/from the playa.

So sorry to hear about your wedding band Foxfur!!

And if my drive to San Fran the day after my exodus counts there was a girl peeing against one of the construction barriers on the middle of the road near the toll booths. And she was barefoot too...sad part is she could have just climbed over it and then nobody would have been able to see her "business."

TPBM loves reading exodus stories but hates to hear complaints.

I don't know how I feel about either of those.

Shocking. Saddening. But all in all, it's just a ring. The relationship it signifies is (hopefully) strong enough to survive the impact of a piece of lost jewelery.

TPBM has not decompressed fully due to the shit hitting the fan the second they we're back in Camp Reality.
