Did you know, Christa he was hosting SNL last week? That episode wasn't bad. It wasn't great but..."

Oh no I didn't! Too bad, I wouldn't be able to watch it anyways since we don't have TV.

Stephanie wrote: "Nope. The meal was delicious though.

TPBM is still full from dinner/lunch."

Stuffed!

TPBM had ham as well as turkey?

I didn't have friends in high school.

TPBM is watching their brothers try and put in a new dryer?

Nope. Only male child (known, anyway) of my parents.


TPBM had more fun this Thanksgiving than s/he had anticipated.

Re-started, actually. World Orders, Old and New by Noam Chomsky.

Just finished reading a citation from John Dewey criticizing big business as being anti-democratic and highly exploitative of people.

TPBM does not participate in mass buying frenzies.

No I do not.


TPBM likes the color orange?

Yes, I do like the color orange! Not my favorite, but I do enjoy orange.

TPBM finds GarageBand and iMovie to be very helpful Mac programs...

I do!

TPBM found The Watchman movie to be fascinating revisioning of American history and highly entertaining.

Nope, I'm afraid to watch it.

TPBM is very upset at the moment?

Nope.

TPBM just reached 50K but their still isn't finished (as planned).

Nope and yup. I haven't reached 50k, and I haven't finished what I'd planned.

TPBM is about to dip homemade chocolate chip cookies into milk and wolf them down.

Mmmmmmm. Sounds yummy.

TPBM is drinking a smoothie for breakfast.

Nope, eggs :D

TPBM slept in this morning?

Yup, which for me means I got up @ 8am.

TPBM enjoys meat loaf, but only once and a while, for supper.

Too true.

TPBM doesn't work on Sundays?

Hmm...not really, I've been to tired to dream.


TPBM wants a chocolate milkshake?

Actually I am, My two favorite subjects are tomorrow.

TPBM watches Law and Order?

No. I found it too pedantic and boring.

TPBM watches Homeland.

Actually, I am not. It was so good intentioned that the heavy hand of morality made it stultifying and dull. I far preferred the law as told by David Kelly in his various shows.

TPBM did not watch Ally McBeal.

I have. Well, about 2.5 episodes, but only because Evangeline Lilly was a local. Well, she went to the University here. But it was too contrived for me and it never caught my interest.

TPBM would find the book Living Your Dreams: Using Sleep To Solve Problems And Enrich Your Life by Gayle Delaney useful at this time in his or her life.

I did think of that. However, Delaney's book has a deceptive simplicity about it. It is very powerful. It also talks about dreams that warn of awake-world interpersonal danger, and how dreams can be a kind of early warning system.

I am almost always procrastinating. Although I prefer to think of it as simply a re-adjustment of my priorities.

TPBM was recently surprised at how easily a task thought to be hard got done.

Well it's only 9 where I am so no.

TPBM has seen Highlander?

Movies and series. Enjoyed them all, actually. Highlander series was filmed locally, and added interest to the show.

TPBM has been enjoying the surprising sophistication of Once Upon a Time.

I love Once Upon a Time. Great show.

TPBM had their blood drawn today.

Nope, I have a fear of needles.

TPBM contributes to the political world?

LoL! Al I have no idea how I can. Fortunately I do not limit myself to being rational or consistent!

Christa, that depends on how one defines 'contributes to the political world'. If you mean that I write anti-economic tracts and teach its fallacies that justify and create poverty, then yes. If you mean that I goose step to political ideology, then no: I do not belong to any political party because all are beholden to their masters, and they exclude the working stiffs

TPBM would rather Guy kept his answers short and a-political.

Yes! It’s the story of the rest of my life.

TPBM is running low on spray starch but is usually disinclined to go to the supermarket.

Hahaha, Guy keep your answers just like you have em, And I meant "Contribute" in any way whatsoever, good-bad and anything in-between.

We don't use spray starch, or any starch in fact if you are talking about starching cloths.

TPBM has a wood stove?

To cook on? No. My grandmother was the last to have one of those. I’m not sure why, but I have the feeling she wasn’t devastated when it came time for her to get a gas range.

TPBM has dishes to wash.

No, I already did the dishes.

TPBM is currently freaking out about whether or not they turned their project in on time, given their teacher's sketchy due dates.

Yes! I cannot believe their is another.

TPBM is writing a paper now?

No, thank goodness. I have enough work to tackle as it is.

TPBM is ecstatic about winning their debate today in Public Speaking!!!

No. But I'm assuming you are, so well done!

TPBM likes maths.

In everyday yes, in math books......kill me.


TPBM wishes they had a maid?

No, then I would have one more person to clean up after.

TPBM would rather iron clothes with the old wood stove heated hand irons than today's lightweight steamy things.

Well, depends if I am in a time crunch or not. It would be nice, but running late Sunday mornings the lightweight ones heat faster :D

TPBM has a long day ahead tomorrow?

That is true. But I am supposedly awake enough to write an important letter to my boss about proposed changes at work. No, I won't suggest that we are a confederacy of dunces running around like headless chickens hoping that the sky falling is just a delusion.

TPBM will be surprised at the voice and lyrics and music of Canadian indie performer Al. Al Spx in the group Cold Specks.

I’m laughing at Guy’s #2239. He’d have to clean up after the maid.

I might be.

TPBM is eating freshly baked cookies?

No. I’m having to settle for Newtons Blueberry Fruit Thins.

TPBM does a lot of cooking.

Define a lot. Yes I do cook, and do most of it in our home, but I'm not sure that that still qualifies as a lot.

TPBM doesn't do as much cooking as they would like to do.

A ton. If only butter was not so spendy I would never stop.

TPBM has been to an art museum?

Yes.

TPBM prefers real butter to margarine.

I liked to go for a first time, after that then I may wish to go again :D

TPBM answers questions not addressed to them?

All the time. It's my signature move to attract attention, which is hard to come by under normal conditions.

TPBM loves Penguins and wants to be one to dance on the ice!

Yes. But that's because I haven't eaten breakfast yet.

TPBM IS FREAKING OUT BECAUSE PAGE 17 OF THE HAIKU THREAD IS GONE AND THEY COULDN'T RESCUE THAT PAGE!

Yes.

TPBM is freaking out because the Popcorn Served thread is gone.

YES.

TPBM is trying to figure out who would do this to us.


Could it be.....i dont even want to say this. but could it be Avery?

Yes.

TPBM is editing the Haiku thread she copy/pasted so she can make a new one.

Avery, she was part of the group for a long time, but then her account got deleted.
