Could probably be counted in the hours. I've never enjoyed the "alone" thing, other than long walks & sitting at my desk working.

Kaczinski, Kaczinski, Kaczinski... You know, I never figured out if he and my father were on the Berkeley Mathematics faculty at the same time. What was really creepy (?) is that my father thought he looked like one of the sketches before we knew that they might have crossed paths.

Sure, I will.

Canexplain! We are playing a game in which just one (1) "Person B" replies either true or false to the "Person A" above them who has just made a statement about the unknown person below them. And then a third person C chimes regarding the brand new statement. Only one person may answer per statement, however. We don't all get to address the statement. It's not a huge deal, however; it's just how the game is played.

Example:

Person A: Yes, I like tomatoes, but only cooked.
The person below me likes carrots, but only raw.


Person B: False. I hate all carrots. Carrots killed my family.
The person below me has a strange pet.


Person C: It's true, I have a Perimeter volunteer on a leash.
The person below me knows I'm lying.


The person below me likes office supply stores.

Not even close. I have an adventurous palate, but I'm a (near) vegan. I am, however, dying for the kim-chee rice the boyfriend is cooking up right now...

It is not sufficient challenge.

The person below me is going to do something particularly fun this weekend (tell us).

Well, it wasn't a bear..but rather a knitted stuffed pig. My aunt got it for me, I gave it to my son...and later learned it was made by a woman, who was one of Heinrich Himmler's secretaries.

TPBM is soo happy, that winter is wrapping up!!

I am! It's a beautiful sunny day! I think I will go for a run down to the water after my breakfast has settled.

I really hate mopping. Hate it! Although I love laundry. Laundry means possibilities. If all my clothes are clean I'm ready to go anywhere.

The person below me would hire a maid absolutely first, if they won the lottery and had the money for a professional staff.

Nope. I used to watch the real houswives of Orange county, New York, and New Jersey. I don't like any of the other ones. OC was my favorite!

tpbm took advantage of the good weather they had today.

Absolutely! It's boating season already down here in FL and we wound up way back in the springs among crystal clear water and manatees swimming. Beautiful day..

TPBM has never seen a manatee in real life..
