TPBM
No. I am jealous of people who can draw in a comic-book style. I just can't do it.TPBM has drawn characters from The Simpsons.
I did but I loved drawing Garfield more.
TPBM never missed an episode of The Simpsons.
TPBM never missed an episode of The Simpsons.
Never? Out of what, 5502 episodes? Never?LoL.
Actually, unlike most of the planet, apparently, I've missed the majority of episodes.
@ CJ - Any dose of Will Ferrell is too much for me; he is pretty much the ipecac of actors in my world.
TPBM enjoys the humour of Warehouse 13.
Lol! I thought I was the only one.
Hmm, I'm not familiar with Warehouse 13. I rarely watch TV, I still miss episodes of those I like watching.
TPBM thinks that going to work on Monday is a bright idea.

TPBM thinks that going to work on Monday is a bright idea.
Haha M. Yes I do think going to work on Mondays is good, but seeing how I never do I guess I can't really judge.TPBM likes goats milk?
Funny you would ask, because I do. A bottle of it is rarely absent from my fridge.TPBM makes their own chocolate milk.
Yes! It is the best.TPBM makes their own yogurt?
Now I do. With bacon.TPBM's tomato plants are yielding more than they can eat.
LOL!No, but that reminds of the joke about the best place for a boat load of accountants.
TPBM has dreamt of M being a psychologist.
How strange! Years ago, I considered going back to school to become a psychologist.TPBM gets tired up updating Windows.
Yes.TPBM has internet problems? (As in getting the internet to work.)
No, my internet has become rock solid in the last few years.@M. Years ago I did go back to school to become a psychologist.
TPBM has resigned themselves to the reality that updates to computers are with us like flatulence and snot: unwanted, display themselves when you don't want them, and have unpredictable results.
Guy, how come you don’t spend your days administering Wechsler tests, diagnosing attention deficit disorders, and so forth? (Maybe you do.)TPBM has found that going to a barber is a good way to get rid of gray hair.
Sounds like a good idea. But I don't have that problem (yet). My hair is huge right now except in the front where it is thinning and I am at a rock and a hard place about whether to trim it or let it be and let nature run its course so to speak. :PTPBM likes to take walks but only when they know where they are going! (feel silly going "anywhere" just for walking's sake).
I like walking or running even if I don't know where I'm heading haha just as long as I'm not alone.
TPBM likes riding a bike.
TPBM likes riding a bike.
Yes, but I go riding only on occasion. Except for the fact that I don’t do much sitting around, I’m a very sedentary person.TPBM will be glad when late evening gets here and it isn’t so hot.
Wow. That sounds really good! Would like to try that one out some time. My "dessert" is most of the time a nice homemade ice coffee!TPBM enjoys a good dessert/drink of choice when it is hot like today.
Yes, a shake or anything very very cold :)
TPBM is not afraid of heights.

I seem to be going through a smoked-almonds phase.TPBM has a favorite season and a favorite time of the day.
I don't have a favorite season, but I have favorite months. Favorite time of the day is morning, when I wake up.
TPBM does not enjoy loud music.
TPBM does not enjoy loud music.
No. I find it (to say the least) annoying.TPBM likes music that’s complex and that keeps the listener hanging rather than resolving quickly.
Or solitarily. Why go to the trouble when you can pour it out of a can?TPBM has a fixation about goats. (We used to have a goat. His name was Angelo. We fed him cigarettes.)
Are there people fixated on me? I didn't know. Thanks for the warning M!TPBM used to have a pet bird named Feathers.
No. I never had a bird for a pet.
TPBM likes wheat bread.
TPBM likes wheat bread.
Is it possible to like wheat bread? It’s the kind of bread I eat, but I think of it as a necessity for making sandwiches or buttered toast, not something that’s good to just pull out of the wrapper and eat.TPBM would rather read history books than other kinds of fiction.
Hmm, you've given me something to consider--wheat breads are eaten out of necessity.
Honestly, I've only read a few history books, just because it was required in school but then, I could trade fiction for any type of books.
I forgot again.
TPBM likes to draw people than objects.

TPBM has the tendency to be forgetful.
That’s me! I have to double check the coffee maker be sure I’ve put the pot in so I won’t have to clean up that mess again.TPBM doesn’t find ownership particularly satisfying.
The quality of life does not depend on how happy you are, but how happy others can be because of you - to remind myself what can give me satisfaction.
TPBM can't stay outside as much as she/he wants to because of the heat.
TPBM can't stay outside as much as she/he wants to because of the heat.
No. I live in Canada. That is rarely a problem. The opposite is more likely true.TPBM misses the joy that making snowmen gives to children.
Still do Belly, still do.TPBM is being forced to stay inside today due to rain.
True, sort of. I haven't a favourite sock, and so feel no need to look for it. Hence, I am unable to find that which I do not seek.TPBM feels that a society that makes only two sizes of socks for the entire human population is ultimately doomed.
Not quite. I will eat everything more or less in rotation, but I take care that my favourite food of the plate is eaten last.TPBM found Margaret Atwood's Oryx and Crake to be a scarily plausible dystopia.
