Yes, but "Time is A Fickle Friend" and some days harder to find than others.

TPBM has made the time to unwind tonight, and is taking full advantage.

I haven't yet, unwinding time takes more effort than I care to exhort just now.

TPBM thinks "Unwinding Time" would make a good book title?

hahhaha

Mouse #6: Hey, Phil! Did you hear that? Belly wants a mouse for a pet. (He stands up straight.) Do I have my hair parted right?
Mouse #3: Hold on, there, Malcolm. (He shakes his head.) How could you even think about leaving this ship?
(Malcolm hangs his head in shame.)
Mouse #1: Earl, where are you going in such a hurry?
Mouse #3: To pack. (He glances back.) Belly wants a pet mouse. One of us ought to oblige. (He scampers off. The other two hear him mutter.) I wouldn’t want Malcolm to have to leave his happy home.


How would TPBM like a mouse who knows how to mix drinks?

I don’t dress for roles I don’t believe in.

Please explain."

Yeah, on second thought I really should have given that more thought before posting. Totally sounds wrong.

What I meant was I wash dishes a lot, I work int he garden which requires me washing my hands quite a bit. I am also cooking something all day long and with summer here I swim everyday. My watch always gets wet whenever my hands do, then it gets itchy and leave a rash so I had to stop wearing one.

I am going to edit my other post now.

No, never

TPBM watches Game of Thrones out of morbid curiosity?

I have a few in glass jars in my dungeon, I feed them every now and again.......or did you mean lawn adornments?

TPBM laughs at their own jokes?

Lol, No. My brothers are not online often and we don't live in the same house anymore.

TPBM has thought of doing something to break a routine.

Hmmm. Some routines. I like breathing, so will keep that one up for a while. I like buying books.

Yes. I would rather not do shopping chores Saturday morning.


TPBM enjoys the routine of cooking different foods now and then.

Yes! I have copied a few recipes from the internet and hope to make them soon but at different times.

TPBM is feeling excited today.

I can see how that could be fun.

Not particularly, Ill try harder tomorrow though.

TPBM knows how to solve a rubik's cube and is willing to reveal the secret to the person above them?

If I knew the secret, I’d be happy to share it.

TPBM wears a depth gauge to the lounge so he can leave before he gets too far under.

((LOL)) Yes, actually I do, which given how rarely I lounge is a good thing. Probably.

TPBM is now at work looking at a pile of papers that need filing in this increasingly paperless world.

No. I don't go to work at night :D but yes, I do 'stare' at piles of paper five days a week.

TPBM is fighting the urge to shred the papers in front of him/her.

Yes, as a matter of fact!

TPBM hates waiting in lines.

Yes!

TPBM wants a chocolate malt.

Edited, Sorry M didn't see ya, Yes I always want chocolate, in whatever form :D

Kyra, that's cool. I volunteer at the goodwills book section once a week so I have first dibs on everything that comes in.

Love waterparks, there is a wet n wild 15 minutes from me.

TPBM has a favorite bookmark and flips out when they can't find it

No. I use index cards for that.

TPBM is avoiding a certain chore by playing this game.

I have a favorite bookmark (two actually part of the same set). I think they are awesome and am sad one has been falling apart lately. They each have a little metal coin attached to them and the one whose coin came off didn't surprise me because it was coming undone anyway.

I use index cards too, M!

-----
I am avoiding a "chore" certainly. A chore called life. :D

TPBM might have something big happening this month!

Well, I might. But if so it will be a surprise.

TPBM wondered why M would use losing an index card for flipping out.

Well, I don't mind watching the talk at cricket games, but as to wanting one. I don't think so.

TPBM is puzzled by the ostensible popularity in Jiminy Cricket.

Lol I actually haven't thought about that.

TPBM is not fixated with crickets as much as he/she is with goats. :D

True. Milking crickets has been fraught with much effort and little return.


TPBM finds goats automatically make him/her smile.

TPBM feels older than they are now.

I don't hahaha or I'm in denial stage?

TPBM thinks that age doesn't matter lol

LOL, not even close!!! XD XD XD

TPBM is rolling at the floor, laughing at the idea of themselves being as old and wise as M.

TPBM is getting very, very sleepy ...and is forgetting ever saying anything about M's age, And will wake up only thinking about his virility, and how compatible you are as moderating partners.

but c'mon ...we all know hes not old ...but we can still poke fun at him for being as wise as the ancient Buddhist monk from Ace Ventura , I'm sure he might even take it as a compliment. wise as the wind is old.

AHHahh ahh AHH ahh AHHahhha ahhlllriiighhtttyyythhheennn

I need to get one of those depth gauges M was talking about.
