I love Ayurvedic medicine, it has worked wonders for me.
Yes; short stories need not have continuity (most of the times) and so it probably is easier than editing multiple chapters of the same novel. TPBM has encountered cooking disasters but managed to salvage something from it.
Yes many times in my beginner stages of cooking. But not anymore.TPBM is hot.
I have the fan blowing in front of me, so no.TPBM will agree to speak publicly only if he or she is reading from a script the whole time.
Nope. I'd spend a lot of time preparing a script but when I'm ready to speak I don't use it. I prefer to be spontaneous. Reading from a script can get really boring for the reader and the listener.TPBM is watching the TV.
Nope. I was hearing to it from another room.TPBM likes to buy pens!
Really Guy? what's so fascinating about buying pens?TPBM is about to start dinner.
Nope. Haven't had lunch yet. [And pens have always fascinated me. I have scored around me. And I love calligraphy.]TPBM enjoys growing their own food.
Not much, I just grow peppers.TPBM avoids social media in fear of spoilers to shows they haven't seen the latest episode of.
Nope. Not at all.TPBM is tired from doing nothing.
Lol! Nope. I have been busy and feel energized. (I just finished making Tex-Mex 7 layer dip with homemade guacamole. So good!)TPBM loves to eat avocados in salads.
Yes! To me it adds something more to the salad.TPBM is bored.
Nope. I just finished writing a short letter to friend before I do meditation and after having had fun in the kitchen.TPBM loves simple guacamole, ie without tomatoes or salsa.
Amen to that, Guy! Mmm-mmm-mmm!TPBM has gotten over his or her fear of being honestly critiqued.
Yep. I had to or writing would've been pointless.TPBM is blonde. (this is just totally random)
I used to have blond hair when I was a kid, but now it's chocolate brown. How did that happen?TPBM wishes airplanes were as big as cruise ships so that the passengers could get up and move around instead of sitting still for god knows how long.
Oh, that would be amazing. More so since my infrequent travel plans involve 17 hour long flights. TPBM considers a pack of cookies to be a sort of decent replacement for lunch.
I do not unless they contain nuts and dried fruit and, ideally chocolate of a high cacao percentage.TPBM has made their own chocolates.
No, I haven't, mostly because I don't know how.TPBM once made the horrible mistake of leaving hot sauce on his or her finger and wiping his or her eyes afterwards.
No. But I have done something similar. It used to happen with Cayanne peppers and Onions all the time when I was getting used to cooking. TPBM has eaten Wasabi on a dare.
Not on a dare, but whenever it is near me!TPBM is as comfortable using chopsticks as s/he is using a fork.

No, but I do enjoy it very much.TPBM would like to take proper cooking classes.
If I ever found the time for it, I think it would be very useful.TPBM thinks their bed is never as comfortable as when they come back from a long trip.
Yes, and so since I haven't had a long trip in a long time, I'm finding my bed to be very uncomfortable.TPBM brings their own pillow with them when s/he travels.
I have a neck pillow to take with me during car and airline travel, but that's about it.TPBM enjoys spicy food, but not the spicy feeling in his or her mouth afterwards.
Yes I do. My family uses it as an excuse not to give me spicy food (like jerked chicken) 'cause I complain about it.TPBM is enjoys writing.
I always enjoy writing. TPBM thinks that movie scenes where characters fall off of cliffs are good motivation to be able to do at least one pull up.
My core strength is so horrible that I'd probably just fall to my doom. Hehe!When TPBM clears his or her throat, it sounds more like vomiting.
Lol! Can't say I have. TPBM has seen a movie that could have been good if the script had been better and has begun to re-write it.
I've done that with one movie. It's a pretty bad movie if I could write up a better ending, haha!TPBM is getting hungry reading about cooking and utensils when eating food!
It's making me want some fried chicken tenders, that's for sure. Mmm-mmm-mmm!TPBM can find the humor in the name Manny Quinn.
Only if my name was Bates and had the rank of Master in the Navy.After having spent too much time in front of a computer TPBM has had moments of feeling shack-wacky.
That happens every time I keep clicking links on Wikipedia. It's mentally tiring, but I keep doing it.TPBM actually takes the time to read Chuck Lorre’s closing logo essays.
No. I confess to having only watched at most one season of Roseanne 20 years ago, but otherwise have managed to avoid watching his productions. TPBM has mostly stopped watching TV.
I mostly just watch shows on Netflix now, because it's easier to work around my schedule. TPBM is pleasantly surprised when they find a hair on their head that is a different color from the others.
Nope, I have dark hair and every time I find a blond hair I panic and think it's gray at first.TPBM is either completely uninterested in a fandom/hobby/etc or obsessed with it.
Absolutely. I can get really obsessive about some things. Which leaves little interest for the things I don't like. TPBM loves watching TED talks
Indeed I do!!TPBM detests roller-coasters! :P
I love roller coasters! That beautiful feeling of my stomach in my throat is what I live for. lol.TPBM enjoys extreme sports.

No. I have dark brown eyes. Although everyone tells me it sort of leans towards black. TPBM is/was late to work.

Nope. I just finished a delicious and strange supper.TPBM feels content today in their balance between work and play.
My day has just started, but if it's like yesterday's, then yes, I will be content. TPBM has given cooking appliances to friends as presents before.
Yes. Many times.TPBM likes using their juicer.
I don't think I own a juicer, but if I did, I'd probably make a bunch of smoothies that involved Diet Mountain Dew.TPBM used to watch Two and a Half Men, but quit due to the stale jokes and storylines.
