Title: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: a_r2006 on May 21, 2006, 04:36:05 pm: I saw this on another board - looked like fun

1) You write something like: "The person below me wears Jesus Loves Me skinny briefs."

2) The person below them reads it and replies: either TRUE or FALSE - then makes their own statement for the person below them. They reply either TRUE or FALSE and so on and so on.

I'll start
"The person below me finds Heath Ledger hot !"
Title: Re: "The Person Below me "-Game
Post by: Toast on May 21, 2006, 04:50:23 pm: TRUE: Wow, Yes I find Heath Legger so hot.
Not Ennis, but Heath.
There is a big difference between the two.
Heath is so twitchy, verbal and his eyes are so expressive.
When I saw him on Charlie Rose, I was amazed that he was so different than the promo pics I had seen of Ennis. Such a smart and I think cuddly man.

But he is married, and we have to respect that - for now.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The person below me finds Jake Gyllenhaal so hot.

Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game

THe person below me belongs to the 1,000 posts and/or mile high club.

Post by: JulietteMontague on May 23, 2006, 10:36:05 am: Not yet!

The person below me purchased BBM DVDs for friends or relatives who were too embarrassed to do it themselves. :D
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: ednbarby on May 23, 2006, 10:57:18 am: True! I don't know for sure that they were too embarassed, but for whatever reasons, I'm reasonably sure they'd have never bought it for themselves. One was for my parents (who didn't like it >:() and one for for a good friend (who did - very much).

The person below me has never eaten caviar.
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: moremojo on May 23, 2006, 11:26:14 am: True--never tasted the stuff. Not particularly keen to do so, either, though I'm game if it were ever to be offered me. I've always been a meat-and-potatoes kind of guy when it comes to food (even like the beans, like Ennis!).

Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: serious crayons on May 23, 2006, 02:57:00 pm: A bunch of times. It's beautiful and only about seven people live there. If you ever worry the country's getting overpopulated, it's a comfort to know they still have a lot of room left in Wyoming.

The person below me has spent a lot of time ahorseback.
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: DeeDee on May 23, 2006, 03:34:53 pm: Yup, worked at a racetrack pacing and grooming.

Post by: Lumière on May 23, 2006, 04:27:42 pm: Sadly no! Although I think I have picked up some harmonica-playing tips from Jack.

Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: ednbarby on May 24, 2006, 11:14:48 am: False. When I was a kid, my Mom once had to choose between electricity and food and opted for the latter. My Dad sent her child support and paid the mortgage, but she didn't get any alimony from him and didn't work outside the home (his lawyer raped her, figuratively speaking), and she wasn't the greatest money manager in the world. I often felt like the sky was falling growing up because we were all literally living hand-to-mouth and one check away from the street. Then at 13, I went from that to living with my father in what seemed like the Taj Mahal in comparison - he had done very well with his business and was a millionaire by that time. I feel like I've lived on the opposite ends of the spectrum.

More information than you required? ;)

The person below me knows what a "Wacky Pack" (in the 70s) was.

Post by: moremojo on May 24, 2006, 01:35:35 pm: True--my mother and I attended a kite flying contest many, many years ago, and that evening saw ourselves on the televised evening news. And this isn't counting the increasingly ubiquitous use of surveillance cameras that we all see ourselves on nowadays.

The person below me has pretty much no time for anything besides making a living.
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: ednbarby on May 25, 2006, 01:09:00 pm: False. Though my job has a nasty habit of getting in the way of my personal life.

The favorite swear word of the person below me is "shit."

Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game

Post by: ednbarby on May 28, 2006, 07:10:33 pm: Depends on what your definition of "rude" is. ;)

Seriously, I'm very sorry to say that's false. Maybe if I had some anxiety associated with either one of them, I could manage to get them into my dreams! Have had visits from Jack and Ennis in several about a month ago, but always kind of in the background. Meanwhile, I seem to be dreaming quite a bit about a challenging project at work. :-\

No, thankfully & I hope I never have to.

The person below me thinks it it were real (it is really real though isn't it??) , Ennis would be alive today with plenty of grandkids he loves to bits, no partner, maybe one or two pals & still thinking on Jack every single day & night...
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game

The person below me would love to have an hour in a dark room with Jake / Heath and a tub of chocolate mousse :P
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: Lumière on May 29, 2006, 05:08:44 pm: OMG!! Are you trying to bring on a heart attack here or what? :o

The person below me would rather date Ennis over Jack, assuming he/she had the chance & they were available & they weren't in other relationships at the time (too many clauses sorry!)
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: YaadPyar on June 01, 2006, 03:17:31 pm: False. Not on your life. I would need to be with someone more emotionally expressive. I'd end up getting sick of Ennis real quick-like.

Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: ednbarby on June 01, 2006, 08:50:05 pm: True-ish. I have a pair of DKNY boots I got for $30 marked down from $240 at a liquidation sale I call my "magic boots."

The person below me loves to read.
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: ednbarby on June 02, 2006, 09:07:37 am: False, I'm sorry to say. I was a voracious reader as a child and adolescent - the quintessential "bookworm." I always had my nose in one. They, and music, were my only means of escape. But discovering movies in my teens and then having to read *so* much *all the time* in college ruined it for me. I do still read occasionally, but the only time I have for it is while my son is napping or after he goes to bed. And if I'm not so exhausted that I just fall into bed at those times, myself, I'm either watching a movie or visiting this board.

Maybe when he's older and/or I ever get over this movie...

False. Obsessive?! What do you mean by that anyway? I mean, are you saying it like it's a bad thing? Maybe obsessive is just misunderstood....but no, of course I'm not obsessive! Who told you that? What did they say anyway?

The person below me always has beer in his/her refrigerator. :)
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: ednbarby on June 02, 2006, 02:08:45 pm: True-ish. I don't find them in my dreams, but they come to me while I'm sleeping. I've woken up many times when I had some problem that had been weighing on my mind when I went to sleep, whether work-, school-, or personal life-related, and suddenly knew exactly how to solve it. One time in college, I could not figure out for the life of me where the logic of one area of a computer system I was coding was wrong. I woke up at about 2:00 a.m., sat bolt upright, and exclaimed, "Oh, MY GOD! I've GOT IT!" About scared the bejesus out of my poor roommate. I rushed to the restroom to write it down on a notepad (so as not to turn the light on and mess her up all the more) before I forgot it. I tried it the next morning, and lo and behold, the whole system worked like a good plan.

I dream in color, too. Exclusively. Can't remember ever having a black and white one, but my husband says his all are.

Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: moremojo on June 02, 2006, 06:46:03 pm: Yes! I probably ought to be ashamed to admit it, but I actually "wrang it out" once in the woods in Kerrville one summer evening. This was back in my teenage years; I had been hiking in the woods alone, it was starting to get dark, and I just had the impulse to try out this sudden fantasy of indulging myself in the bosom of Mother Nature. I was nervous as all-get-out, and it didn't help when a curious deer wandered over to me to see what I was up to. I finished safely, though, and made it back to the house, with no one the wiser (until now, perhaps ;))!

The person below me would love to eat a wonderful, old-fashioned home-cooked meal every night - but doesn't want to be the one to do the cooking.
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: ednbarby on June 02, 2006, 09:09:00 pm: *So* true, Celeste. I'd kill for a man who can cook. And enjoys it. Seriously.

I can cook, by the way. I just don't enjoy it. I think it comes from being a short-order cook starting at the age of six. I cooked for my brothers and mother and myself from that age on. Long, sad, already-told story. I'd have one of my brothers start up the gas stove - you had to strike a match and light the "pilot light" - scared the shite outta me - and I would do the rest. When I moved in with my Dad and stepmom at 13, she was a master, especially of Italian dishes (she's Sicilian), but she wanted no part of having anyone in the kitchen with her. Cooking was and still is her therapy. Fine by me - we couldn't stand each other, anyway.

I have a few dishes I like to make that always turn out especially good. No one, and I mean *no one* makes lasagne like I do. Even my stepmother has conceded it's the best she's ever had (hers is crap in comparison). I also make a mean chicken cacciatore - my Mom taught me, not her - Southern style chicken and dumplings, chicken parmesan, and baked salmon. But those are all special occasion type deals. To work all day and then come home and whip something like that up - I'm sorry, but no.

Fortunately, Ed is a big fan of Mexican and Chinese take-out. Those are weekly staples. I cook the other two nights he's home, then take the three he's not off - I just make something nutritious for Will and nibble on what's left over when he's flying.

The person below me is *way* too prolific in her or his responses.

The person below me only aswers the phone when they know who's calling.

Haha, I was wondering if the person will answer true to most of the questions they asked.
Millie, do you own a pair of shoe that costs more than $500? :o
Haha Jenny - I have never spent that much on a pair of shoes - most I have spent is $200. ;) (And that was because I am a shoe freak and I absolutely had to have that pair..) :P

Not really...I love this game! :)

The person below me has used the "its not you, its me speech" when splitting up.. :P
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: JennyC on June 03, 2006, 02:27:45 am: False. Not because I have used other lines, but I have not yet had the opportunity :P. I probably used similar lines to reject some guys, but I have only dated one guy and married him. See, I have told you that I am boring ;). My life experience probably is quite different from the people grew up here, but you do appreciate the diversity, right? ;)

The person below me has promised himself/herself multiple times that he/she would spend less time on BetterMost, but failed in each attempt.

The person below me still loves someone from their past of whom they wish they hadn't let go ...
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: YaadPyar on June 03, 2006, 10:52:34 am: Nah. I don't really stop loving people or let them go. I just try to find ways to be true to love even when the relationship changes. Amazing friends come from that...

Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: ednbarby on June 03, 2006, 07:01:28 pm: False. Vodka is my poison. Svedka is my favorite.

I once got so drunk on Jack Daniels that I threw up all over the top concrete step leading down to my and my parents' house (I was 18 - it was the summer before I went off to college, and my boyfriend and I had gone to a party for a longtime friend who was going off to boot camp the next day - don't worry - he was driving that night). Staggered down to the house and then upstairs again to my bedroom. Was coherent enough to set my alarm for 5:30 so I'd get up before my Dad did and hose it down the next morning. Passed out fully clothed, shoes and all. Woke up at 5:30. Merrily hosed away on the top step for about five minutes until all trace was obliterated and staggered back down to the house. And there was my Dad, sitting at the kitchen table in his bathrobe and slippers, reading the paper he had to have walked right past me to get out of the box across the road. Chuckling. I looked at him, figuring he was gonna let me have it for being so stupid. He goes, "I'm thinkin' that headache you got about now is punishment enough. Why don't you go back up to bed and sleep it off?"

I didn't come back down until about noon. He was still chuckling.

The person below me has said "Never again..." but renegged at least once.

Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: Becky on June 04, 2006, 04:33:44 pm: Kind of, I would really just love to live anywhere but here, preferably in the States or Canada. I am not so keen on the sea thing: Sea= seagulls= no me. I hate birds that fly over my head, especially seaguls and pigeons. Plus the sea air makes my hair go curly and I end up doing my best Cassie impression.

The person below me has an irrational fear of wheelie-bins :laugh: ::)
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: Fran on June 04, 2006, 04:46:23 pm: False. Here in Chicago, they're not called wheelie bins but garbage carts, and the City supplies them for free. I admit that I do avoid walking past them at night because there's a good chance a rat will be lurking nearby. (I do have a "rationa"l fear of rats.)

Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game

The person below me has caught a partner cheating ...
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: ednbarby on June 04, 2006, 08:54:10 pm: SO, true, Celeste. Always loved that Glenn Frey song, "You Belong to the City" - concrete under your feet - it's in your moves, it's in your blood, you're a man of the street.

I've never felt so alive in all my life as I have walking the streets of London and Manhattan. Even doing that in downtown Rochester, NY, as a teenager gave me a buzz like no other.

The person below me would rather get rained on than carry an umbrella.

(BTW, I'm adding this in violation of the rules, and in answer again to a now very old question. I absolutely do dream in color. I was dreaming of the chat room, which worries me on soooooooooo many levels to begin with, and in my dream I could see the dinstinctive color and font and avatar of each user. The way they actually appear in the chat room. So I dream in color. I believe this is the sign of needing to seek professional help).

I love getting drenched in the rain.I love the feel of raindrops on my face.
On the practical side,I am hopeless at remembering to gather umbrellas and have lost countless umbrellas on the bus,cafe and any place you can think of ! So I no longer bother to carry an umbrella !

The person below me often replays conversations in her or his head, making them much more clever and dramatic than they really were.
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: YaadPyar on June 05, 2006, 10:35:57 am: Why no - I am so exceedingly clever and dramatic in real life, that my conversations have no need of embellishment! Ask anyone...really. Go ahead. Ask...

The person below me talks on the phone only out of necessity.
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: nic on June 05, 2006, 11:04:12 am: False - I don't mind talking on the phone. Sometimes a phonecall is better than other means of communication for particular circumstances.

The person below me always sends postcards - the old fashioned snail mail type - to their friends/relatives when they are on holiday.
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game

True bigtime. I've only watched the DVD extras & some of those had me crying just re-awakening the emotions that are never far from the surface. I desparately want to watch it but have to get the right time. Soon, soon...I will if you will OK?

The person below me wonders who they were in their previous life?
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: JennyC on June 05, 2006, 02:06:45 pm: False. I don't believe there is previous life. I do wonder what my life will turn out to be had I made different decisions a few times.

Regarding the Thai food, I am going to break the rule here. Yep, I love Thai food. Nipith is the expert here, but if you ask me, Pad Thai always looks good to me anytime if I don’t know what to order. I actually made Pad Thai for potluck a few times and people loved it. I like Thai Curry, medium spicy please :). Love the combined taste of sweet coconut milk and spicy seasoning.

The person below me gets most of the news via internet.
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: YaadPyar on June 05, 2006, 02:15:25 pm: True. I get most all of my information and entertainment from the Internet. I have no decent television reception these days, so it's the Internet and magazines mostly.

The person below me desperately wants a butler to wait on them.

Post by: Becky on June 05, 2006, 02:29:36 pm: Nah I can wait on myself, plus in my tiny little house he/she would probably get stuck in the corner. But if I had a larger house I may understand why people would need one, but for now I am happy as I am: pottering around taking care of my everywhim and fancy.

Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: ednbarby on June 05, 2006, 02:40:56 pm: I was back when it was first on TV in the early 80s, wasn't it? My Mom and I used to watch it. Actually, the reruns in the summer, because I only visited her on weekends during the school year, and they televised it on Sunday nights at 8:00, right after "60 Minutes," her second favorite TV show.

The person below me is now an avid "Lost" fan.

The person below me has a few reoccurring dreams.
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: YaadPyar on June 05, 2006, 03:01:24 pm: True! I have one where I'm discovering new rooms in my house. And I used to have one where I was driving very fast down a long runway - I actually learned how to drive in that dream. And then one haven't had in a long while, thankfully, where I'm driving and the road becomes so steep that I can't drive over it, and my car falls right off of it. And then sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night to a loud knocking on my door (there is no front door to knock on where I live - just a buzzer from the lobby).

Are you going to tell me what all of it means now?

The person below me hits the snooze button every morning and goes back to sleep at least for a few minutes no matter what.
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: JennyC on June 05, 2006, 03:18:17 pm: True! I always set the alarm clock (my cell in this case) 30 minutes earlier than the time that I have to get off bed. It rings every 9 minutes. If I snooze, after 3 times, I am still 3 minutes ahead of the schedule. ;D

does BetterMost forum count? I haven't really been a journaling type of person, but I do find putting my thoughts down in this forum to help me process my feeling a lot. It's even better than journaling because I get other people's perspectives too.

Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game

Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: Lumière on June 06, 2006, 12:01:53 pm: I love a good sale for sure! But I don't buy everything on sale. Sometimes you gotta just spend the money, sale or not.

Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game

Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: JennyC on June 06, 2006, 03:34:59 pm: Yes, indeed. I don’t know where that comes from. You know people always talk about how women do not have a good sense of direction. Not me.

Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: Becky on June 06, 2006, 06:24:57 pm: Not really. My hair is kind of long it reaches just below my shoulders. Although I am not sure about gorgeous! ;D My hair just does it's own thing, I used to try and tame it but it never worked so I just go with the flow. Although at the moment I am being a Cassie as my hair has decided it wants to be in perfect curls so I'm just letting it be.

The person below me loves to learn, but hates school.
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: JennyC on June 06, 2006, 07:17:08 pm: I don’t know if I should say true or false. I always love to learn. I hated school when I was in school and couldn’t wait to get out. Now I miss the time I was in school terribly. Some of my best times and worst times were when I was in schools. If I can relive part of my life, I would choose to stay longer in school and cherish the time more.

The person below me has cared for someone dying.
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: Toast on June 07, 2006, 12:23:27 am: No I have never cared for a dying person, but I enjoy the chance to visit dying friends. I think it is part of life. Recently my aunt died quickly of cancer. I visited her and was shocked that her eyes wre so piercing, but then I realized her face was paralyzed and all that moved was her eyes. I could see her in there and I talked to her. Other visitors talked around her, but I talked to her. One afternoon I said something funny and a bit brazen to her, and her daughter in law laughed and said would you like to thow this facecloth at him. Her arm pivoted on the elbow, and she raised her hand. and I knew she enjoyed my flippant remark and threw a facecloth at me. She passed the next morinig, and I am sure I am the last one that she communicated with. I think dealing with the visitors can be harder than dealing with the dying person. I miss my aunt, but her time had come.

The person below me took some time today to actually smell a flower.
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game

The person below me sings along to the car stereo and doesn't care if anyone else notices.
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: YaadPyar on June 07, 2006, 08:39:36 am: Oh my, yes!!! I think that's why I miss driving so much (now that I live in the city) - not nearly as much time to drive and listen to music and sing. And I like the music loud enough to drown out my vvoice completely, just as a courtesy to others.

The person below me knows a secret they will never reveal to anyone.

Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: YaadPyar on June 07, 2006, 09:31:21 am: False. I was denied a job once because I flunked a lie detector test. The great irony is that I answered every question totally honestly, which was probably not that good of an idea. I was so glad not to get that job. I would never fit in a place with that level of suspicion anyway.

The person below me puts bumper stickers on their car.
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: southendmd on June 07, 2006, 11:53:22 am: True. I never used to, but started by putting a pride sticker; now it's the HRC (Human Rights Campaign) equality sticker. Happy pride month, y'all.

The person below me has fallen out with some family/friends over their BBM addiction...
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: ednbarby on June 07, 2006, 04:45:27 pm: True. My family members except for my husband and sister-in-law know *not* to talk to me about "that movie," some because they have no intention of ever seeing it and I've chastised them for it, and others because they've seen it and "didn't think it was all that great." My co-workers think I'm more than a little bit nutty because of it (if they didn't already), but all of them who've seen it liked or loved it, so I'll still talk to them. ;) Then there are two online friends who don't talk to me at all anymore. Good riddance - we really didn't see eye to eye on a lot of other important stuff, either.

A thousand times, but more about BM than anything. It is all about me spending to long on the computer and them wanting to stop me...like that has worked so far. As I am having one right at this moment about the computer. God sometime I really just want to punch my sister, calling me sad and that I am waisting my life talking to you guys, so far it is better than getting drunk and having sex with a load of chavy boys which she did at my age...sorry that is too much information but I am still mad with her cause every time I see her it is "Your just so sad!". Infact she has just said that now :laugh: she is so predictable.

Post by: Becky on June 07, 2006, 06:30:17 pm: Ewwwww no! I have always and always will hate Mac and cheese of course I don't mean the one that was in friends that was hilarious. I have never ever liked it out of a can, that is just disgusting but I am rather fond of cheese and pasta, but I like the cheese grated not all gloupy. Also I think the fact that my sister has Mac and cheese with Marmite has put me off it aswel.

Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: YaadPyar on June 08, 2006, 12:29:39 pm: I do like the original, not Miami & New York. But they use so much blue lighting - cold feel, cold sets, cold characters...I like the show, but can't handle too much blue.

The person below me loves to fly.
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game

(I even love hanging out in airports between flights -- I think it must be the freedom from household/childcare responsibilities.) I'm flying somewhere tomorrow, in fact!

The person below me keeps a journal.
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: YaadPyar on June 08, 2006, 01:24:11 pm: Yep. Mostly it's on-line here now, in Daily Thoughts. I've kept journals for years, and periodically get rid of all of them...don't want to leave any evidence behind you know. Sometimes when I leave the house in the morning, I look around with the thought, "Ok. If I don't make it home today, and the police have to investigate, what don't I want them to find." Makes it sound like I've got something to hide, but in actuality it just inspires to me to tidy up a bit. I ain't got a single interesting secret to tell....

I means that someone is pretty skilled with tools, can renovate a house, fix things up, does the most repairs himself and so on.

Back on topic:

To be honest: I haven't talked to DeeDe personally yet. Although I vote true. I appreciate everyone's thoughts on this board. That's one of the the differences betwen BM and IMDB: you don't have to agree with everything said, but you don't have to feel annoyed because there's no rudeness. And you know that you have at least one thing in common with every other person here: the admiration for BBM.

The person below me wears glasses.

And damned if my mood hasn't been noticeably elevated the last couple of weeks because of it. I can feel it elevating, almost, as I feel the sunlight on my face each morning.

The person below me loves to drive.

Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: YaadPyar on June 08, 2006, 08:05:08 pm: Goes without saying. I haven't looked at message boards on IMDb in I don't know how long. This place has become a home for me in many ways, and I can never feel that there.

I like sunshine but not heat, it is 30+ here now and with all the football hooligans about and the heat I have a massive headache. Also because we have no AC in our house(why would we, we live in England) it is absolutely boiling eventhough the fans have been on full speed. Plus I am upstairs at the moment so it is extra hot up here but thank god I don't have to sleep up here and my bedroom is on the ground floor.

Ohh double post!

Well I am going to belguim this summer so I suppose that counts as a little bit south. We usually go to somewhere in Europe in the summer and save our big holidays for the half terms and stuff. Although next year I am going to Alberta for the summer so that is more west than it is south.

Post by: Penthesilea on June 16, 2006, 03:50:06 am: True. Though for me it's not as many months as for most of you (about three months actually).
BBM is still the very first thing on my mind at almost every day. I would think I've gone totally crazy, if I didn't know that it's the same for many other people.

the person below me always has fresh cut flowers in their homes.
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: JennyC on June 16, 2006, 04:24:52 pm: Nope. No fresh cut flowers. Don't have a garden and too lazy to buy flowers, and quite frankly I normally won't buy flowers think it's waste of money.

Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: JennyC on June 16, 2006, 05:01:40 pm: Definitely no racist. I really don’t know about homophobe. I never feel comfortable to discuss anything related to sex or sex-orientation with my parents. I would like to think they are not. I think they won’t discriminate anyone because of sex-orientation. Given their age, culture background and their exposure to homosexuality, it’s safe to assume that they probably will feel uncomfortable and may feel it’s unnatural. But they are not the people who could voice their disgust.

The person below me needs to reserve a big chuck of time when taking on a new task, instead of using the time here and there to chip it away.

Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: Becky on June 16, 2006, 05:21:47 pm: Being a broke teenager with no job isn't the best thing when it comes to xmas, but I do spend everything I have on family and friends. But this year I would have to say my biggest expense was Brokeback with travel and everything I think it comes to about £70/£80 which is alot for me.

No, not me. I didn't even know what that is until you mentioned it. I googled and it looks to be something I might want to join though.

the person below me has lived in more than 5 different cities.
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: ednbarby on June 17, 2006, 10:18:54 am: True. Rochester, Canandaigua, Potsdam (all New York), Dayton, Columbus (Georgia), Boca Raton. OK, the second and third ones are a bit of a stretch, but Canandaigua is officially a city. I think Potsdam (where I went to college) may still be only a town.

Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: cmr107 on June 17, 2006, 01:49:37 pm: Hahaha, well it wasn't exactly political, but in my senior year of high school, the teachers threatened to go on strike to support the janitors who were about to all be replaced by some firm the school had contracted. That would have made the school close, making our graduation much later than it should have been. A lot of the seniors got really organized and protested the strike, getting to school at 6am with signs and stuff for about a week before the decision was made. We were on all the news channels, it was great. (They didn't go on strike.)

The person below me has lost internet access at home for more than one day. Bonus if it happened since you became hooked on BetterMost.
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: Becky on June 17, 2006, 04:09:52 pm: Hardly any surprisingly, seeing how old my giant chunky computer is I am really surprised it hasn't crashed so far with me on it basically 24/7, but I suppose it proves the point "They don't make 'em like they used to!" And it's a good job they don't, that's all I can say. ;D

The person below me always makes plans with friends more complicated than they should be.
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: isabelle on June 17, 2006, 06:30:27 pm: It does happen, and always in an effort to make things easier for said friend(s), ironically!

The person below me has never had to stay in hospital overnight (for themselves).
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: ednbarby on June 17, 2006, 08:35:07 pm: False. Three times - the first when I was 14 and had extensive oral surgery to ready myself for the four years of braces I then got to wear, the second was when I went into pre-term labor with Will at 31 weeks, and the third was when he finally came into this world 6 weeks after that. I'm hoping the third time's the charm.

The person below me is wondering what they're going to do with themselves tonight.
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: Ray on June 17, 2006, 08:38:21 pm: I know what I'm going to do with myself, I just haven't decided how long I'm going to do it for!

The person below me always buys fruit with healthy intensions, and ends up throwing some of it out as it over ripens

The person below me likes a cocktail with dinner. (or lunch or breakfast)
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: serious crayons on June 18, 2006, 12:29:25 am: I've had all three (probably even in one day!) but usually I would have a cocktail with dinner. Not every dinner. But if I'm going to have one, that's when.

The person below me smartened up and went somewhere fun tonight, church social or otherwise.
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: cmr107 on June 18, 2006, 12:39:11 am: I went out to eat and to the mall with friends tonight, but I'm not really one for smartening up (I'm a jeans-and-T-shirt kinda gal).

The person below me keeps their house extremely clean.
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: serious crayons on June 18, 2006, 12:44:18 am: Yeah, right! I did clean today, though (it's a project I undertake every month or so).

The person below me would just as soon spend a quiet evening at home on Saturday night.

The person below me gets/got along well with their parents.
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game

The person below me lived in a country that's not theirs for at least a year.

The person below me actually likes their hair. (I've noticed that not many people like their own hair, no matter how great everyone else says it is.)
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: Becky on June 18, 2006, 04:56:48 pm: I hate my hair most of the time, but I like it when it decides to look nice. I swear my hair was some sort of evil person in it's past life as it never likes me to look good, and when ever I try to do something with it it decides to do the opposite.

The person below me never packs their cases(when going on holiday) until the last minute. (I still haven't and I am leaving tomorrow)

The person below me has a non-negotiable need to be alone sometimes.

Post by: nic on June 18, 2006, 06:17:51 pm: Yes I do actually!

The person below me has the (probably misguided) impression that eco-friendly cleaning products are not as hard-working as the regular kind

I use them but still have this impression somehow :-\
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: YaadPyar on June 18, 2006, 07:17:39 pm: I don't that I have any mis-guided notions about this actually. But I will examine my conscience and see what is luking there filed away in the "mis-guided" notions section.

The person below me loves the sour sweetness of kiwi sorbet.
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game

I enjoy browsing the thrift stores for furniture that I could reupholster or refinish. Not much for second hand clothes though, although I did find a great corduroy jacket that fits like it was specifically tailored for me.

The person below would answer "true" to all their own "person below me" statements.

The person below me went bowling over the weekend.
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: YaadPyar on June 19, 2006, 01:53:12 pm: False. But I like bowling when they put the kiddie-proof inflatable things in the gutters. As long as the balls can't go in the gutters, I'm an amazing bowler. Well - I can at least get over 70. Sometimes. But only with the kiddie-proof thingies.

I suck at bowling.

The person below me likes a very neat work space around their computer.
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: starboardlight on June 19, 2006, 01:57:21 pm: true. but liking and actually getting a neat work space is entirely two different things. my desk is a mess most of the time. it's all the print outs I have to make for each tweaking of designs i do. and then on top of that all the notes that clients make. for each revisions. sigh.

The person below me loves cotton candy. :D
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: YaadPyar on June 19, 2006, 02:16:43 pm: No. Cotton candy is just sugar. Can't fool me.

The person below me's favorite animal in the world is a liger, which is also really hard to draw (shout out to Napoleon Dynamite.)

(http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j125/yaadpyar/liger.jpg)
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: ednbarby on June 19, 2006, 03:13:59 pm: LOL, Celeste. False. My favorite animal in the world is quite specifically my German shepherd, Layla, who I still refer to as Best. Dog. Ever. In general, it is German shepherds. There are quite a few of them living in my neighborhood, and my heart just leaps every time I see one of them out walking his or her human.

The person below me *loves* (and owns) Napoleon Dynamite. (My favorite scene is when they run over the tupperware-like bowl.)
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: YaadPyar on June 19, 2006, 03:18:44 pm: I don't know if I love it, or am just fascinated by the train wreck of a life that it is. I don't own it, but have seen it a number of times.

Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: ednbarby on June 19, 2006, 04:07:11 pm: Oh, dear. You've outed me. I'm an office supplies fetishist from way back. One of Ed's favorite phrases is "And no more pens!" (And no, I don't steal them, I swear. I just keep buyin' 'em.)

The person below me especially loves Sharpies.

Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: starboardlight on June 19, 2006, 06:21:20 pm: True! I hated Peter, a team mate of mine, when I first met him. He was arrogant, brash and confrontational. I later regard him as one of my best friends. By the end of college, I felt like I had learned so much from his being confrontational and brash. He is what I'd call a sand paper. Hurts to be rubbed the wrong way at first, but you end up more polished because of it.

Post by: cmr107 on June 19, 2006, 08:22:21 pm: I can still talk to my best friend from grade school about anything, but I don't really consider her my best friend anymore. She'll always be special to me though, we've been friends since we were two years old.

The person below me was a real chatterbox in class and drove their teachers crazy.
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: ednbarby on June 20, 2006, 09:43:52 am: Drove the other kids crazy, I think, but the teachers liked my chatterboxing. I remember one of my favorite ones wrote in my year book that he loved having me in his class because I was the only one who got his jokes. I can remember so many times he'd say something clever as hell and I'd look at him and smile and he'd wink at me. Don't worry - it was nothing untowards - he was gay and had a longtime partner who was another of my favorite teachers.

The person below me loved English class the most in high school.

Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: starboardlight on June 20, 2006, 10:48:28 am: I would if I had a good teacher. Chem class in high school was a hugh waste of time, because the teacher didn't know how to teach. I ended learning mostly by reading the text book.

the person below me loves to go running in the rain.

The person below me was ever so slightly freaked out by that photo of masses of snow people but thought it was cute too

Post by: YaadPyar on June 20, 2006, 12:46:11 pm: I have Netflix so I don't have to worry about this stuff, and I never get library books for the same reason. I've had the same three DVDs for 5 weeks now, and predict I shall never watch any of them anyway. Pathetic, I know.

The person below me loves having unexpected visitors.
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: YaadPyar on June 20, 2006, 12:53:58 pm: OMG - never. Never. Never. Never. If you're in the neighborhood (say, just dropping in from France) do call in advance. Otherwise you will get the very cold and inquisitive "hello" on the intercom, wondering why you would just drop by unannounced. I'm delighted however to get the unexpected phone call.

The person below me loves to be exposed to new music.

The person below me would love to travel in space.
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: YaadPyar on June 20, 2006, 01:02:53 pm: I feel like I travel through space and time every day. Outer space seems scary to me - too easy for everything to go wrong, and it seems like it would be cold and dark and lonely...enough of that here on this planet for my tastes!

Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: ednbarby on June 20, 2006, 01:12:00 pm: True. Unfortunately, I don't have the talent of one. But I'm a great artistic and poetic supporter.

The person below me hates it when anyone calls before 9:00 a.m. or after 9:00 p.m. (unless they are specifically expecting a call at that time).

The person below me doesn't like it when it's windy outside.
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: YaadPyar on June 20, 2006, 01:50:36 pm: I like the wind. I better - I live in the Windy City. I like fans on inside to. I generally like air to be moving.

Seriously, we have a little tradition of staying in and watching our favorite classic movie, "Holiday." Then we crack open the champagne at midnight, have a little kiss-kiss, and head to the pod. Boring and incredibly dorky, but true. I don't see that changing at least until Will's old enough not to need a sitter.

The person below me often provides way more information than is required.
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: Daniel on June 20, 2006, 03:29:02 pm: True. As a perspective perfectionist, I often provide far more information than anybody wants or asks for. I've tried to become more aware of when I'm doing it and so have changed a little, but the desire to do it crops up far more often than not.

The person below me was once in a deadly situation.

The person below me wouldn't like to have cows for a view from their window
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: starboardlight on June 21, 2006, 01:17:27 pm: i wouldn't mind the views of cows, it's more the smell that they produce that would bug me. beside, it'd awefully funny to see cows in the UPS loading dock. ;D

Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: YaadPyar on June 22, 2006, 10:27:32 am: Well - I hate to admit this (Ugly American syndrome and all), but I don't. I like movies in English. Dubbing is awkward and subtitles are incredibly distracting, and I feel like I miss so much of the nuance of foreign films.

Haha - I guess it is for Nipith!!!

Everything reminds me of BBM. I saw something today actually that reminded me of BetterMost.net, and laughed out loud as I walked down the street. Eric posted this a long while back (http://bettermost.net/forum/index.php?topic=1467.0 (http://bettermost.net/forum/index.php?topic=1467.0)), and for some reason it stuck in my mind:

Gaylights -- an unnatural highlighting of the hair that no straight man would be caught dead with.

Post by: starboardlight on June 27, 2006, 01:11:32 am: I actually don't mind it. being in the creative industry, job interviews are usually not so up tight and formal. especially in LA, wearing suit and tie is overdressing. I go in with my portfolio, and I get feedback on my work at the very least, so I actually enjoy the process.

the person below me bought a new piece of clothing over the weekend.

I lied! My girlfriend when I lived in the UK was HALF American, and half Belgian. But she hardly ever lived in the US, does that count?

And Chrissi, what I meant was, if I went for a German, it has to mean the French (males ;D) are not such a big deal. And that's right, they aren't (ok, except one...)

Regarding hitchhiker, I have offered twice under the circumstance that I am 100% sure the person is not threatening the safety of me or my families. Other times I really want to help, but didn't have that 100% confidence, then I won't risk. The recent one was in Yosemite park where a couple hike down a trail (4 hours hike I think) but missed the bus to go back to their car. Since we only have one spare sit in the car, the wife went with us. It was one hour drive back to Glacier Point (where they left their car). We had a very nice conversation during the drive. Somehow we started to talk about politics and she was furious about the current administration and the war. Needless to say, we enjoyed that conversation, and exchanged phone no. :)

So now turn the table around, the person below me has successfully hitchhiked.

Post by: isabelle on June 29, 2006, 05:35:09 pm: Yes, and that's why I give lifts to hitch-hikers unless they look threatening. (You in the US make it sound very scary and dangerous indeed to take hitchhikers :-\)
Hey Jenny, did you go back for the hubby afterwards, or did the wife take this opportunity to go back to being single? ;D

The person below me loves films by Ernst Lubitsch (yes, like me...)

The husband took shuttle bus back to their campground. I think they were trying to be considerate to let wife come with us since she is female and less threatening by default. But I wouldn't mind to have the husband ride with us either. They all look like decent people.

Certainly not! He was a German Jewish film-maker who had to emigrate to the US like so many others in the 1930's, and he was hilarious! Try watching "To Be Or Not To Be" (especially that one, in which he manages to make you laugh about concentration camps, or at least those who ran them, and to make a total fool out of Hitler, made in 1941 or 42), "Ninotchka" (in which a grim Soviet spy ends up being able to actually laugh...), "The Shop Around The Corner"... Check him up!

Yes, I love one particular perfume called Vetiver (Givenchy makes it). I also like Musk.

Double post, sorry! I'll leave the shooting star to the person below me.
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game

The person below me loves Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and can't decide if they like the original Gene Wilder film or the more recent Johnny Depp remake.

The person below me hates beans
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: isabelle on June 30, 2006, 02:47:48 am: I used to, before I was a student in the UK and as such, very poor, and beans on toast became my staple diet! And you actually get to like them (hey c'mon, that's a BIG effort: I'm French!).

The person below me has just started learning (or decided to learn) a foreign language.
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: saucycobblers on June 30, 2006, 07:47:19 am: I am! I flunked German at school and am having a go at learning it from a great set of Michel Thomas CDs (my present boyfriend is Austrian, so to show willing...). They're great - a very relaxing way to learn.

"Es tut mir leid. Ich cann sie nicht verstehen". I expect that's spelt all wrong, but I figured as long as I knew that phrase I'd be okay :P

Post by: ednbarby on June 30, 2006, 10:39:56 am: Yeah, I like leather. Is there a f***ing problem? ;)

The person below me hates the whole idea of hunting (and yet likes leather and enjoys eating steak).
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: ThePirateBride on June 30, 2006, 10:53:55 am: True. I don't know how someone can kill animals with such innocent faces. I do like leather shoes, handbags and well done steak though. It’s a bit hypocritical, but then I’m not looking into their eyes when they’re killed. :'(

The person below me had champagne last night. :D
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: ednbarby on June 30, 2006, 11:00:57 am: Wish I could say that was true. But I do plan on having some sparkling wine tonight - some old friends are coming over for dinner, and got a very nice one after a wine tasting about a month ago we've been saving.

The person below me really hates hot weather.
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: Penthesilea on June 30, 2006, 12:24:02 pm: False. I love the summer, hot weather, the sun, going to our public bath (we have season cards), lounging in the kiddies pool in the garden, eating in the garden, having no or almost no clothes on, BBQ-ing, sitting outside in the late evening,... Ahhh, the whole world is fine for me as long as it's summer.

I do plan to go with Will to Orlando next weekend to meet up with some friends from Ohio who'll be there with their daughter who's about his age, though.

The person below me likes professionally-done fireworks displays but hates it when neighbors in close proximity set their own off with a passion.
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game

The person below me has a strong opinion on whether people should water and fertilize the lawn to make it pretty. (This is one of those dilemma questions I could swing either way.)
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: ThePirateBride on June 30, 2006, 05:16:50 pm: True. Where I'm summering, there are drought conditions and there are few lawns and I agree with that. If water is available and plentiful, lovely lawns are a must. :)

The person below me has a neatly arranged bulletin board. :D
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: Midnight24 on June 30, 2006, 05:18:51 pm: No, sadly I'm not that organized. Maybe I'll keep track of things on pieces of paper or on a calendar, but I usually go through the day just find without a bulletin board. :laugh:

Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game

The person below me loves living near the city.
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: cmr107 on June 30, 2006, 06:54:04 pm: Yeah, I guess. At home I'm 1/2 hour away from St. Louis, and at school I'm 1/2 hour from Chicago. I love being able to go to the city whenever I want, but I think I'd much rather live right in the city.

The person below me is not traveling for the holiday weekend.

Plus being a broke teenager(why is that always my excuse, maybe cause it's true) I don't have that money, but if I asked nicely I suppose my mum could get me them(that is could, not would). But my best guy friend has more pairs of shoes that me and he absolutely freaked when I showed him my new converse shoes, although he is more of a Vans guy.

If you google it you should understand what they look like. It doesn't judge what type of person you are, it just lets the person know your tastes! Sorry if I confused you, it is just a personal joke thing, I really shouldn't have bought it on to here.

The person below me has paid more than $100 for a pair of sunglasses.
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: YaadPyar on July 02, 2006, 03:09:06 am: Yeah - only because they were my regular glasses until I had laser eye surgery, and then I had wonderful polarized lenses put in them to make them into sunglasses. If you're gonna spend the money, do it on the lenses!

The person below me is currently using Suave ("Smoother," in my case) shampoo.

Post by: YaadPyar on July 02, 2006, 01:17:27 pm: Oh my yes - set things in motion just yesterday, and waiting to see what happens next. Too bad I'm not sleeping well these days. I could probably really, really use the rest!

The person below me likes to talk things through.
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: JennyC on July 02, 2006, 01:30:21 pm: Probably not, I like to run things in my head, rather than talk them through. I want to make sure I know what I am talking before I start talking. :)

The person below me is excited about the new space shuttle launch and will be watching it on July 4th (if it's not further postponed, that is).

p.s. Welcome, Sheyne and Mandy, our new players. Hope you enjoy this game as much as we do. :)

the person below me has been confused about their sexuality
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: YaadPyar on July 02, 2006, 07:34:13 pm: Had been confused in many ways. I finally gave it up, and it seems much less confusing now. Bit of a dramatic choice, but seems like the right one for me.

The person below me downloads music from the Internet.

Post by: Sheyne on July 02, 2006, 07:41:34 pm: Boy, do I ever!! ;D Most of my mp3 library comes from the net (all legal channels of course) :P I would be lost without my iPod, truly lost.

The person below me has been told that their smile is their best feature.. ;D
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game

The person below me spends more time on the internet then they would like to.
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: YaadPyar on July 03, 2006, 11:03:05 am: Well - I spend more time on the Internet than I think I should, but not actually more than I'd like!

The person below me can't believe it's July already!
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: ednbarby on July 03, 2006, 11:41:41 am: True! In fact I just changed my wall calendar to reflect that, shaking my head all the while. Crap. It's just like my Dad said - it goes exponentially faster the older you get.

The person below me is going to see a new movie with friends sometime this week.
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: starboardlight on July 03, 2006, 12:08:12 pm: well, I went and saw The Devil Wears Prada with friends on Saturday. I'm going to go see Superman today (today's still part of the long weekend, right?)

Post by: Penthesilea on July 03, 2006, 01:56:00 pm: False. And neither glasses. But maybe this will change over the next months. I've noticed that almost every sripture at the tv screen is way too little for me to read. I guess I should see an optician or oculist.

The person below me will meet a very dear friend today.
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game

Oh, and true. If Canada counts. I did have one who lived for a long time in London (Islington, actually), but she's back in San Francisco now.

The person below me had to work today.

Yes, Devil Wears Prada was a lot of fun. Streep is deliciously evil. She just purrs her hatefulness. I loved her performance. Anne has some winning moments though when her character is able to get ahead of Streep's. And the fashion was fun to look at too.

Just got back. That's how I'd describe it, too. Great minds. :)

And false - I don't sleep naked. Even if I :ahem: start off that way, I like to have a T-shirt or tank top and undies on when I sleep. Don't know why - just always have.

Thanks to my years of taekwondo and yoga, not to mention good old-fashioned genetic flexibility, I can put both feet behind my head, do the splits etc.

The person below me is mostly warm most of the time.
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: Sheyne on July 04, 2006, 10:23:11 am: Hmm.. i'm guessing this one is open to interpretation? Cause warm could mean personality or temperature. And I think I'm "yes" for both. I live in sunny Australia, which is smack bang in the middle of Winter as I type this, but its a lovely temperature - no snow, just the occasional spot of rain and wind.

And personality... yes, i think I'm a pretty warm person most of the time - I have my moments, like everybody, but generally yeah, I'm a warm sort of creature.

The person below me dreams in colour.
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: starboardlight on July 04, 2006, 11:00:55 am: yes, i do dream in colors. My most vivid one is my flying through a desert canyon that was brilliantly orange (think Valley of Fire) below me with a purple whale swimming next to me.

Oops, doulble post.

Nope, I don't have special BBQ utensils. I like to eat BBQ, but don't BBQ that much at all.

The person below plans to go swimming today.

you do know that you can download NPR programs for to listen on your iPod, yes? You can use iTunes Music Store to find the programs or down load them from you NPR station websites. Even better you can listen to NPR programs from other cities. I love Boston's WGBH's Morning Stories. I also like listening Wait Wait Don't Tell Me, during my workouts.

I didn't know that. Have to try it next time. I like to listen to Forum with Michael Krasny. It's quite long, so most of the time I can only listen to part of the program. It's a local program that covers a wide-ranging of topics. Many interesting perspectives, and in-depth analysis.

I am doing 2 weeks work experience at a veterinary surgery, so I get to do all the fun things like assisting castrations, bitch spays and even today a birth! It is really fun so far and is much better that what my other friends are doing which is mainly office jobs. But yeah, no cows to castrate yet.

Sheyne, what a tricky question! If someone has a real crush, they may not want to admit it here ;). As to me, given most of the members here are either female or gay, and I being a straight female and happily married, we are unavailable to each other on so many levels. So really crush, none, pseudo crush, plenty. ;D

Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game

Depending on exactly HOW old, you can bet that it was hand-made, not factory produced like the stuff we got around today. And when people create things by hand, its very personal and special. I got an antique chest at my place that I occasionally like to just touch with my fingertips. It has a really beautiful energy to it. I probably sound like someone who's only had an hour's sleep, hunh? Well, by a staggering co-incidence... :laugh:

Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: ednbarby on July 05, 2006, 08:06:23 am: False. At least not any animal I've ever seen. Snakes don't bother me unless they're in my pool, which did happen once. It was a garter snake only about a foot long and very skinny - a baby - and the thing came at me like an anaconda when I tried to net it.

Important Safety Tip: Never try to net a snake, no matter how small and "harmless," while you are actually *in* the pool.

Post by: ednbarby on July 05, 2006, 02:24:03 pm: True! In fact I'm one of those freaks who thinks LPs sound better than CDs - much richer - epecially with really awesome speakers or good headphones. (But I have a 300-disk CD changer/player, too - such a hypocrite.)

The person below me listens to his or her iPod at work.

I remember he was horrified to hear I was an atheist, and kept telling me to join a cult/ church, just ANY church, but not to remain faithless! Now, over 20 years on, I wish I could meet him and discuss this in person with him. Still in love with India. Not been there, but to Ireland and Germany, I have.

Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: Becky on July 05, 2006, 05:04:38 pm: False! I still need to find someone to go with. All of my friends were thinking of meeting up after work experience and I was supposed to be organising it, but I think everyone will be too exhausted, and that includes me.

The person below me prefer hot drinks over cold ones.
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: Becky on July 05, 2006, 05:20:22 pm: True, especially on a day like this. On the way home today I got soaked to the skin and was freezing so I was in need of a nice cuppa when I got home. But in the hot weather I much prefer a drink of OJ, to a cup of tea.

The person below me prefers tea to coffee.
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: isabelle on July 05, 2006, 05:47:37 pm: I am slowly beginning to enjoy tea as much as coffee, but I still crave coffee at least twice a day!

(and for the record, there is one sort of soup that's meant to be had cold, and it is lovely: it's called "gaspacho", and it's Spanish, from Andalucia precisely, southern Spain).

The person below me dyed their hair blue (at some point).

The person below me knows multiple card tricks
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: Becky on July 05, 2006, 05:58:32 pm: False, I am really bad at cards, playing and doing tricks, I am just to clumsy.

The person below me is allergic to seafood.
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: ednbarby on July 06, 2006, 10:45:03 am: Yeah, I meant for the whole day, so that counts.

No, I didn't. I thought more of Australia, cause I thought all US people would still be sleeping :)

Sometimes I envy you and all people living in such places. But mostly I'm glad to live in an area with at least a chance for snow at Christmas ;D

Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: Penthesilea on July 06, 2006, 11:46:57 am: True. I can kill any plant, even a cactus, because I don't have a green thumb too. Therefore I gave up having plants in my house years ago.

The person below me has penciled in another (DVD) viewing of BBM for this weekend.
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: Becky on July 06, 2006, 04:58:38 pm: False! I really want to cause I need a good cry, and a reason for a cry! But my evil next-door-neighbour(she is actually really nice, but she is evil for not giving me back my DVD) still has my DVD! It's been about a month and I am really considering doing a mission impossible style kidnapp of my DVD. Right I've got the rope, that cat suit and the net: I'm ready! ;D

The person below me has had a nap today.

The person below me does not follow any recipes when cooking.
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: starboardlight on July 06, 2006, 05:16:24 pm: I usually don't. I'll only follow a recipe when I'm trying something new. After the first time, I can usually get the essence of it and will go freestyle after that. The thing is, as a single man living alone, I can't keep my fridge stocked, or most of it'll go bad before I can even get to them. The market structure is not single person friendly. Even a head of lettuce is more than I can finish in a week. So I don't have all the ingredients to recipes. I will improvise with what I ever I have for the most part.

the person below me prefers to cook at home as oppose to going out.
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: Becky on July 06, 2006, 05:19:02 pm: False, can't cook, wont cook. The only things I cook are pasta, rice and salad! ;D

The person below me has had salad today.

The person below me likes opera. ;)
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game

Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: ednbarby on July 06, 2006, 08:51:15 pm: False. Don't know what that is. Sounds yummy, though. ;)

The person below me really should eat more vegetables.

Most people hate the taste, think it’s very stinky and smelly. But the people who enjoy the taste love it, and can not get enough of it. I guess they don’t call that the King of the Fruit for no reason. As to me, I am not brave enough to try it.

Quote from: ednbarby on July 06, 2006, 08:51:15 pm

True! I don't like salad, so that's the problem.

Actually, i've been on holidays for two weeks and I have worked every single night except THREE on planning for next term (i'm a teacher for those who don't know). And my son has missed out on some quality cuddle time. Whoever said teaching is a 9 - 3 job has never actually been a teacher.

The person below me is petrified of cockroaches.

The person below me has eaten and sipped from a fresh coconut right off the tree. :)
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: starboardlight on July 07, 2006, 11:09:45 am: Yes I have. And I'll will get to do that again in August when I go to Thailand (Woowiee!!)

(A note about Durian, the taste of the meat itself is sweet, it's the scent that turns people off. I lived in Thailand until I was 10, so I get used to it, and really love the fruit. I'm fortunate enough to live in LA where they do import some when it's in season. The scent is reminiscent of cooking gas, if you're curious, but a little stronger. If you get the chance I would recommend you trying a bite. It won't kill you. Plus you'll know and be able to tell people that you had the King of Fruits.)

The person below knows how to ride a horse.
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: ednbarby on July 07, 2006, 11:29:10 am: False. I went riding once as a kid, but it was basically just being led around by a handler on one while inside a paddock (is that even the right word?), so I doubt that qualifies.

The person below me is having pizza for lunch.

Post by: Becky on July 09, 2006, 10:20:03 am: Surprisingly I do now, the Brokeback references do it for me I think!

Isabelle: The first piece is from the exorcist(tubular bells to be exact) and the second piece is from Psycho.(Bernard Herrmann score for the Hitchcock film) So I guess you guys think the film is random, yes? ;D

The person below me has experienced culture shock. (Care to give a few examples?)
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: starboardlight on July 09, 2006, 07:10:27 pm: True. I'm Chinese by ancestry, born and lived until 10 in Thailand and Laos, then lived in Georgia, Washington, and finally SoCal. You bet I've had many culture shocks. My last moment was at Big Foot Lodge, a bar in Silverlake. It's a hunting theme bar, that at present is very popular among the urban hipsters of LA. Having not done much hunting as a family tradition, it was such a whole other world for me. I didn't get why there was saw dust all over the floor. The wooden horn chandelier struck me as odd too. The moment of shock came when I headed for the men's room. I had had several beers and was rather tipsy. I stumbled in to the restroom area and found two doors; one labled "stag" the other "doe". Being drunk and so slow on the uptake, I could not figure out which one was men's and women's. After all I have absolutely no connection with hunting and hunting terms. So here I am in the most straight and macho of places, and all the sudden I experience the "gayest" moment of my life. My head started singing (I might have been singing out loud too, being kinda drunk) along with Julie Andrews, the song from "The Sound of Music". Ah! That's how I was able to tell which door to choose.

the person below me plays Sudoku.

Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: cmr107 on July 09, 2006, 07:38:39 pm: True! I even had two years of Calculus in high school. I had a math class last semester in college though, and it was REALLY hard. It wasn't regular math. But I was good through high school graduation!

The person below me prefers language studies (I almost said English, but realized that wouldn't be fair!) to math or science.
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game

The person below me knows how to gracefully let go of possessions that no longer serve. (Some examples?)
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: Sheyne on July 10, 2006, 08:45:28 am: Yup. Very true. I'm not a "horder". I will gladly chuck out things I don't use. The sole exception is clothes, for some reason I find it hard to let clothes go unless they're very ugly and I'm ashamed of buying them in the first place.

the person below me plays Sudoku.
Regarding Sudoku, I played a few as part of the brain teaser challenge we used to have on my last project. We had a few people enjoy playing brain teaser games, any kind. And we always bought new ones that we collect to work. Everyone’s favorite is the wire puzzles where you have to remove a piece of intertwined wires. Like this one
(http://www.puzzlemaster.ca/puzzles/images/beetle_bug.gif)

We also had a few Japanese puzzle boxes.
(http://www.puzzlemaster.ca/puzzles/images/2_sun_10_step_koyosegi.gif)

As such, my next question is..

The person below me likes to play brain teaser games, any kind. (If so, which type do you like the best?)
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: ThePirateBride on July 10, 2006, 02:19:33 pm: True, I like most brain games, but my favorite is Trivial Pursuit. I always beat my uncle who’s an aeronautical engineer and he keeps coming back for more! Most people won’t play with me anymore. ;)

Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: YaadPyar on July 10, 2006, 02:30:42 pm: Sitting in the back row of what? If it means being less visible and being able to make a quick escpape from somewhere I don't want to be, then yes. If it means poor visibility of something I want to see, then absolutely not.

The person below me loves ice cream with mix-ins (choclate, cookie dough, etc.).

False! I normally have TOO much spare time cause all I have is school and that is hardly exhausting. But now I am at work I never stop, and being a honourary vet nurse is tough work: So now I wish I had more time! Plus I really need to talk to one of my friends about something and our quittin' times clash so I never get to see my friend and I am really missing all of my friends.

I am not sure how he snorts, although I have seen the film but I don't think I was paying attention to those bits cause Johnny Depp wasn't in them. Although I did have a very serious discussion with a friend about how Davy Jones(even if he is a fictional character I can still discuss it as if he was real) is in my blood line and how he should really be Welsh rather than Scottish. ::)

Usually True. I normally do my hair at night and then sleep on it cause that doesn't seem to affect it that much. But when I was in Wales with my school I had to leave it to dry naturally and it looked like I had been dragged through a bush backwards, so yeah, that's the last time I try that! ;D

Although I did have imaginary friends with the names of Disney characters such as peter pan who lived under our dinning table and wanted Pasta for tea every night: I was one messed up kid. So not so much with the Robin Hood, but I did enjoy going to Nottingham when I was little(my mum comes from there) and learning about Robin hood and going to sherwood forest. Of course being bought up on Disney I was surprised that the real Robin Hood wasn't a fox, but I got over it quickly.

Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game

false. my good ideas comes while I'm driving, which is a pain, cause my hands aren't free to write the ideas down.

the person below me makes his/her bed every morning.
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: cmr107 on July 11, 2006, 01:29:44 pm: Nope, never. Don't see the point. In my dorm room last year I would throw the comforter over the bed to make it flat, because it was really thick and looked terrible if it was all bunched up. Plus, it's pretty, so I wanted to be able to see it. Does that count as making the bed?

Sometimes books make the person below me cry.

The person below me learned to drive in their dreams.
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game

Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: Becky on July 11, 2006, 04:45:29 pm: False, my real grandma on my mum's side died even before I was born so I never got to see her. You wanna know how old she was? 40 odd and you wanna know how she died? Heart attack because of all the smoking she did. So if that isn't a warning I don't know what is.

The person below me stood up to someone today.
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: YaadPyar on July 11, 2006, 05:03:04 pm: No - I didn't stand up to anyone today, but I didn't need to either. I don't often find myself in situations requiring me to "stand-up" to anyone.

The person below me wants to re-decorate.
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: cmr107 on July 11, 2006, 05:23:48 pm: Yes, I would love to. My house could use some freshening up. I'll be going back to the same dorm room in August, but with a different roommate, so hopefully we can make that nicer than my room was last year. Can't wait! ;D

The person below me never buys things online, preferring to physically go to the store for purchases (when possible, of course).
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: JennyC on July 11, 2006, 05:29:41 pm: False. I have bought things online. Sometimes you find better bargain online.

The person below me prefers their mattress to be firm.
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: ednbarby on July 11, 2006, 06:19:00 pm: True. Firm but with just a little bit of give.

The person below has recently been to The Happiest Place on Earth (either CA or FL will suffice).
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: YaadPyar on July 11, 2006, 06:42:19 pm: OMG - I've been to Florida & California, and I didn't notice that either one was the happiest place on earth!!!!!

Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game

The person below me loves Christmas
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: Sheyne on July 12, 2006, 05:25:40 am: No, actually I don't. I like Christmas for the joy it brings those close to me but for me its a time of the year I just don't like and not just cause of all the hip-fattening goodies available!

The person below me saw "Star Wars" at the cinema when it first came out in the 70's.
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game

The person below me walks or used to walk to school. :)
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: starboardlight on July 12, 2006, 12:31:49 pm: I did. Ah the fun times we had walking to and from school.

the person below me, at least once a week, made a detour from their walk home from school to get some ice cream.
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: JulietteMontague on July 12, 2006, 12:48:39 pm: True, although it wasn't a big detour. There was a little store on the route and I was the only one the owner trusted to return the glass bottles of soda. Everyone else had to drink them on the premises. I loved those huge nutty buttys in those days! ;)

The person below me still chews Double Bubble bubblegum. ;D
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game

the person below me always carry their business card with them everywhere. (I don't. I don't always remember to, but I'm getting new ones printed and they're really cool, so maybe I'll remember to take these along with me.)
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: cmr107 on July 12, 2006, 02:13:18 pm: I don't have business cards, but if I did, I would probably carry them around. Keep a stack in my bag or something.

The person below me always pushes the snooze button on their alarm clock.
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: JennyC on July 12, 2006, 02:15:58 pm: Sure do. This is why my alarm clock (my cell phone) is always set to 30 minutes ahead of the time I really need to get up.

The person below me can pin point some defining moments of his/her character. (Maybe you want to tell us a story of that defining moment. Sorry if it’s a loaded question.)
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: ThePirateBride on July 12, 2006, 04:05:19 pm: True. I was raised in fairytale land with the perfect family, perfect life, no problems and no worries. I decided to marry the most wonderful man and continue my idyllic life. When my wedding day came along, my fiancé was killed by a drunk driver on the way to church. He was dead when I reached the scene and I knew I would never find another perfect partner in crime. Recently another man entered my realm and although things aren’t working out, I realized I’m going to be just fine on my own. I accept my self-sufficiency, now and always. ;)

The person below me has been on a jury. :)
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: JennyC on July 12, 2006, 06:06:02 pm: ThePirateBride, thanks for sharing your story. Sorry for your loss, but glad that you accept your "self-sufficiency".

Nope, I have not been on a jury. Definitely don't want to be on jury for a case like Peterson's case.

The person below me sometimes feels the urge to say something, but bites their lips instead because it’s probably the best not to say things you may regret later even with the good intentions.
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: YaadPyar on July 12, 2006, 06:21:07 pm: My lips are blissfully free of bite marks. I don't censor myself much. If I think something should be said I try hard to find the right way to say it much more than keeping the words to myself...I try to find the good intention inside of me and speak from there. If I can't find the good intention, then I don't say it.

The person below me knows they have a special gift/talent/purpose in this life, and even knows what it is (and might reveal it to us here!).

The person below me had a lousy day today. (Let’s hope someone say false).
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: cmr107 on July 12, 2006, 06:57:58 pm: Unfortunately, it's kinda true. As some of you know, I still haven't found a summer job. I've been out of school for about 6 weeks now, and I'm sick of it. I'm used to being really busy, so I hate having nothing to do. It doesn't help that about half of my friends are gone for the summer, and the other half have jobs and work a lot. Sorry, enough complaining.

The person below me had a good day today! ;D
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: YaadPyar on July 12, 2006, 07:02:05 pm: I've had a pretty wonderful day actually. Feel like I've got my mojo back some. I hate when it just runs off like that - soooooo inconvenient!

The person below me knows they have a special gift/talent/purpose in this life, and even knows what it is (and might reveal it to us here!). I'm just going to keep asking this until someone answers it the right way!!!!

Post by: henrypie on July 12, 2006, 07:13:46 pm: The person below me knows they have a special gift/talent/purpose in this life, and even knows what it is (and might reveal it to us here!).

I think one of my gifts/talents is twisting words like so many long, skinny balloons, into shapes that delight. I don't know if itreaches the level of purpose or calling, and I hope not because I haven't done a whole hell of a lot with it, but it's certainly a talent. If I may say so. See Celeste... I entrapped myself in self-tooting.

The person below me has walked in on someone masturbating (speaking of self-tooting).
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: starboardlight on July 12, 2006, 07:48:20 pm: ha ha ha. I have. Roommates are just too weird sometimes. He didn't even bother locking the doors.

The person below me loves to stir fry their food. :D
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: YaadPyar on July 13, 2006, 02:34:05 pm: That is true. I am a big fan of this type of cooking. Oil and spices, especially in a way that crisps and browns food without overcooking is wonderful!

I don't like any type of wet cooking - boiling, simmering, poaching, steaming...just don't like it at all. Water seems like a very poor conveyance for flavor. Why am I telling you this? I have no idea!

The person below me is concerned about the long-term health consequences of using non-stick cookware.
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game

Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game

Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game

I hadn't really planned on it, but maybe I will (without the wine).

The person below me has just learned some things about themselves that changes everything moving forward.

I have a ... how shall I put it... fragile attention span, so I don't listen to music while reading/writing.

Lucise I love Max Raabe!

The person below me has type A+ blood (common as dirt, wonderful red dirt).
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: isabelle on July 15, 2006, 03:54:01 am: NO! I have O+. So if any of you need a blood trasfusion, PM me, and I'll come flying ;D. I can give blood to everyone else.

Deedee, not bad: Bastille Day indeed refers to July 14th 1789, when that prison called Bastille was stormed and the prisoners were freed (including political prisoners). The unrest had been going on for a while in France, but apparently that event remained symbolic of the beginning of the French Revolution, which overthrew King Louis 16th (and his wife Marie Antoinette).
Side note: there never was a ruling queen in France, women were not allowed to rule!

The person below me has been inside a prison (visiting or other. Care to describe the experience?)

Oh, isn't it right that O+ is the "universal donor"? I thought so!

Tower of London, Tower of London... I meant a present day prison :laugh:

Petty crime: the worst I ever did was steal a magazine from a Newsagent's when I was 13. The guy looked at me suspiciously, and that was enough to keep me away from that part of town for about 10 years. I was so ashamed of myself I never did anything "wrong" again in my life. :-\

The person below me has visited (or been an inmate in??) a present-day prison.
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: henrypie on July 15, 2006, 11:30:48 am: False: I have never visited a prison, although I have visited a few psychiatric hospitals. There's an odd sort of overlap there....

O-negative is the universal donor -- it has none of the factors (expressed A, B or +) to which one could be allergic.
Anke, are you a blood donor?

The person below me might get desperate and and grab any old thing to read on the way to the toilet -- Bed Bath and Beyond flyer, blender instructions, husband's impossibly boring computer magazine, etc. -- you know, just in case.

Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: henrypie on July 15, 2006, 02:40:36 pm: True! And it's only fitting that cherries, and the orgiastic consumption thereof, should come up on the heels of a discussion of bathroom reading material and one-ply toilet paper. Two-ply please, for the love of God and cherries!

The person below me has been the victim of an inadvertent decaf-for-caf coffee switch which meant getting terrible headaches around noon for a few days, till the mystery had been solved, and the contents of the canisters switched.

The person below me is religious....
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: ThePirateBride on July 15, 2006, 03:18:54 pm: True, to some extent. I have the faith requirement fulfilled, however, presenting myself every Sunday at the same time to hear the same thing and make the same responses is my stumbling block. ;)

The person below me wants to attend church every week. I respect it if you do! :)
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game

The person below me starts every day with meditation/silence/contemplation.
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: isabelle on July 16, 2006, 12:52:21 pm: I haven't got round to doing this on a daily basis yet, but I start the day with a look at my messages, which usually lead to these boards. And to me, it is like meditative silence: there are no voices here to be heard, but plenty to meditate upon, especially if there is a new message to Yaadpyar's very short stories!

The person below me thinks there is some (or a lot of) truth in astrology.

The person below me never buys new cars, only used.
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: henrypie on July 16, 2006, 07:23:23 pm: Growing up with my jalopy-addict dad I thought it was normal only to buy used cars, and considering the astronomical cost of owning a car it's sure one way of keeping it more palatable, but I bought myself a new car 'cause there weren't any used Prii. Now there are but good luck finding one!

While both houses of the Diet are directly elected under a parallel voting system, and formally select the Prime Minister, I don't serve in either house as I'm a US citizen. Wow - what complicated questions you ask Anke!!!!

The person below me has a very unusual name of surname.

;) even in Thailand my name is unique. Here's the back story on my name, so far. My aunt named me. It's a word in the ancient Siamese language. The meaning of the word, she has forgotten, and I don't have the resources to find out. Maybe during my trip, I'll spend a day in a library and try to track it down. So far though, there is a modern Thai word that sounds like it. It's Nimith, which means "new beginning", or "tomorrow's sunrise". It's possible the two words are related. The meaning sounds wonderful and all, but then it begs the question "What was wrong with my older brother?"

The person below me thinks the hot weather we are having has something to do with global warming.

Love the words of songs, and the meanings of them to my life, loves and memories...

I want to start volunteering with Hospice again for certain. A few other things on the horizon, but nothing to tell yet.

The person below me loves Depech Modes "Personal Jesus" but nothing else of theirs.
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: henrypie on July 19, 2006, 03:50:11 pm: FALSE!!

I love much, much else of Depeche Mode's, and "Personal Jesus" is actually not one of my favorites.

Depeche Mode is the band, by the way, some of whose members I have met. Oh Lord, I love them so. But you know Celeste, it is thrilling to hear of another's affection even for a song that's not one of my favorites.

The person below me prefers the Library of Congress cataloging system to the Dewey system.
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: ednbarby on July 19, 2006, 03:56:55 pm: I haven't been to a library in ages, but yes, I'd say I do. I never did understand that whole Dewey Decimal System crap.

The person below me had fried potatoes with lunch! :D
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: Becky on July 19, 2006, 05:44:34 pm: Nope, I infact didn't end up having lunch cause I was having too much fun. There was this giant waterfight after school cause it was a half day. But it was so fun and I of course got soaked to the skin cause all the guys have it in for me for being evil to them for the most of this year, and this was there only chance to get me back. Although I did get my revenge back later! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: Muhahaha ;D

Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: starboardlight on July 19, 2006, 08:32:25 pm: almost true. for the longest time, I refused to get an AC, so i was running fans every summer. this year, I broke down and got an energy star AC and guess what, my electric bill is less than when i was without it, and this year's been hotter than the last two. hrm! all that suffering and I was wasting more energy! The AC is great, it's keeping my loft comfortable, but not entirely cool.

the person below me knows to defrost their freezer every so often to keep it running efficiently.
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game

I'm answering this just 'cause, and the answer is yes. It's an amazing thing. The allergy pharmaceuticals business would be in bad shape if everyone knew about the magic of the neti pot!

The person below me has a past full of indiscretions that are now just the most lovely memories.
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: starboardlight on July 20, 2006, 11:47:41 am: I wish! I mean there were some indiscretions that are now wonderful memories, but my past is not nearly full of them. I was too much a coward in my 20's. I'm trying to catch up now though.

I also found out the hard way that I'm allergic to rabbits (my cousin had a pet rabbit when I was little). Oh, and I'm allergic to dust mites, but I don't love those, so I don't mind that one.

Ther person below me had a HUGE storm yesterday (or sometime recently).
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game

The person below me wears a raincoat in the rain
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: YaadPyar on July 20, 2006, 10:55:39 pm: I can't remember the last time I wore a raincoat. But everyone was soaked coming into work 'cause the rain fell hard and sideways, and umbrellas don't protect against that. So it would have been a good idea to have a raincoat actually!

The person below me is loving life these days. Intoxicated with endless possibility.

Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: henrypie on July 22, 2006, 10:40:28 am: False: I didn't get my license till I was 17, or a year older than is legal. However, I was a pretty good driver by the time I got my license, having had my learner's permit for a long time. In fact, I think it's absolutely nuts that 16-year-olds can drive in this country. There are a few other nutty things about this country....

The person below me has seen Citizen Kane on the big screen.
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: JennyC on July 22, 2006, 11:32:03 am: Nope :( I actually have never seen the movie. (I know I know...) I have seen a movie about making Citizen Kane, but not the actual movie. I know it's No. 1 on the list of the best movies, but is it really worth that title? If so, I will get the DVD.

The person below got their driver's license with only one road test.

The person below me has been put in a very arkward situation lately by a friend/ family member.
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: henrypie on July 22, 2006, 03:10:06 pm: True. My stepmother tried to invite her son along to my small birthday dinner recently. She laments that he and I (and her other children) are "not closer." This is very annoying to me. We're all adults; we were teenagers with independent lives when we became step-siblings; we get along fine; what more does she expect, and how did she think it was okay to do her own inviting to my party? And she thinks I'm a sourpuss-hardass for telling her it would not be okay to invite him. (Fortunately I nipped it in the bud so he never found out.)

Very, very vexing.

Soooooo,
The person below me is right-handed but left-eyed.
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: starboardlight on July 23, 2006, 02:52:39 am: right handed, and right eyed. I guess I never really had to think about which eye I prefer. Thinking back, i think I use my right eye to look through telescopes and such.

the person below me is a fan of the Lord of the Rings series (books, animations, or live action films).
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: isabelle on July 23, 2006, 05:46:37 am: I'm afraid this will be a "no". I have been watching the "Lord of the Rings" films with my 12 year old son this week, and didn't enjoy it at all. Not my kind of movie at all. And so serious!

The person below wonders why they stopped receiving the replies to this thread (I wonder what else I've been missing!)
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: starboardlight on July 23, 2006, 12:17:04 pm: I have no idea what that means. How were you "receiving replies"? Were you getting them emailed to you?

the person below me will explain what I'm not understanding.
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: isabelle on July 23, 2006, 01:14:48 pm: Well yes, don't you? I get an E-mail telling me so and so has posted a new reply to such and such thread (that I've either been reading only, or posting in), and then I must click on the link provided in order to get on the actual thread at the place of the new post. If I only read the reply post on my E-mail without going onto the Bettermost forum, I stop receiving the new replies. Which might be what I did, but I do not think so.

The person below me will tell me whether I am the only one getting E-mails notifying me of the new replies to threads I've read or posted in.
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: starboardlight on July 23, 2006, 01:56:23 pm: I don't really know if you're the only one who get email notifications. I see how it works, now. If I hit the "notify" button, then BetterMost will keep track of that thread and let me know when a new reply is posted. I forgot that this is a feature. It's very useful. I haven't used it. Did you by any chance or accident, turned off the notification?

the person below me sleeps in on Sunday.
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: Becky on July 23, 2006, 05:13:23 pm: Yep! I always sleep in on Sundays, but now I will get to sleep in all days of the week cause I am on school holidays for 6 weeks. Sunday is normally me homework day and it feels so weird not having any.

I kid you not. This is my drink of choice. I don't do alcohol, and don't like mint, so no mojitos for me. I do wonder sometimes what my answers here reveal about me, and how crazy I look....

Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: YaadPyar on July 24, 2006, 02:19:53 pm: I have had manicures done by nail technicians, and always prefer to do my own.

Hey Nipith! It's early! (I consider 7am early.)
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: cmr107 on July 25, 2006, 10:05:00 am: No, I don't function until either I've eaten breakfast or taken a shower. Brushing my teeth comes later.

The person below me has something to look forward to in the next couple weeks.
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: Pipedream on July 25, 2006, 10:09:20 am: Yes, my summer vacations in Italy! 4 weeks to go... :)

The person below me has been up earlier than usual today.
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: Katie77 on July 25, 2006, 06:24:36 pm: nope, 8am....the call of nature usually wakes me about then

the person below me takes some kind of medication
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: henrypie on July 25, 2006, 06:27:42 pm: True.... well.... The Pill. Is that medication for my ovaries? Guess so.

The person below me takes public transport 3 or more times per week.
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: Becky on July 25, 2006, 06:31:37 pm: the person below me takes some kind of medication
False! I am sure I should be taking crazy medication...but I haven't be perscribed any yet, so fingers crossed I do soon. ;D

The person below me takes public transport 3 or more times per week.

Nope, I am a regular walker...I walk everywhere come to think of it.

The person below me has come to a cross roads in one aspect of their life and they cannot decide what to do(...Of course this is not true for me in any shape or form*shifty eyes*)

I was at an emotional cross roads just after seeing the film, or rather BBM jolted me to confront myself and thus puts me at that cross roads. I have decided, however, what to do, and I'm heading toward living the life I've imagined for myself. I'm confronting my fears everyday and I'm getting a little better at it every time.

the person below me will tell us about the last time he/she fell in love.
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: henrypie on July 26, 2006, 09:50:14 am: True!

That would be with Ruediger. I love him because he is affectionate, funny, smart, silly in just the right ways, curious, and did I mention sexy and cute as a button in a masculine, strong-featured way?

But that's not "how I fell in love" with him. I don't know how. We talked at a wedding; I babbled; he listened; he rolled his eyes and made me nervous; I babbled some more and thought "Oh my God, I'm babbling." One of the things that impresses me daily about him is his facility and creativity with English, which is not his native tongue. How can this be? He whips out funny substitute names for things when he can't quite remember the name, for example "crepe myrtle" (the tree) once became "crap maple." And the tv show "Crossing Jordan" became "Chasing Gordon." Oh man, I love him.

The person below me believes dreams are a great way of working out the subconscious tension of monogamy.
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: ednbarby on July 26, 2006, 10:05:12 am: Subconscious tension? What about the conscious tension? I find daydreaming/fantasizing helps relieve that quite a bit, too. I know I'm only serving to self-medicate, but dammit, it's so much fun.

The person below me has an Excedrin headache.
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: cmr107 on July 26, 2006, 11:16:37 am: No, I don't really get headaches, and when I do, they're not too bad.

The person below me is sad and worried about Chris (mod of Chez Tremblay). :'(
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: henrypie on July 26, 2006, 11:17:24 am: Yes, I am very concerned about Chris. C'mon boy!

(btw Barb, have we talked about a possible correlation between sleep distubances, like night-terrors and narcolepsy, with migraine headaches? Do you get migraines?)

The person below me has invented animals in her/his dreams. For example, the Delta Cat.
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: starboardlight on July 26, 2006, 11:40:59 am: I usually never remember my dreams, so I don't know if I have invented animals while dreaming. I did invent a new hotel concept though. If only I could remember all the details.

btw, Sarah, thank you for sharing your story about Ruediger. "Crap maple" lol. He sounds like such a cute and fun guy to be around.

the person below me still keeps a memento of their high school prom (or non-American equivalent).
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: ednbarby on July 26, 2006, 11:46:59 am: True. I still have one prom picture from my high school boyfriend's junior prom and senior ball, as it was called in our school. And he was the only one who really knew me at all. Ah, first love.

Sarah - yes, I do have migraine headaches, but not severe enough to require prescription medication. I get a kinder, gentler version of those. But they do affect my vision - things do take on an "aura" right before I get one. The vision disturbance is more unsettling than the headache itself, usually, so I'm lucky there. And yes, I've read of a correlation between those and night terrors. Makes perfect sense, really. Sadly, Will woke up last night screaming at about 1:00 a.m. and was inconsolable for about a half hour. Man, I hope he hasn't inherited all that from me, but I worry he probably has. :'(

The person below me appreciates his or her relative good health today more than usual in light of what we've learned about our dear Chris.
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: henrypie on July 26, 2006, 01:48:09 pm: Oh my goodness yes, I am grateful every day that I can get up and walk, and especially in light of Chris's dire situation.

(Barb-- my mom is a full-strength narcoleptic and full-strength migraine-haver, and I inherited little innocent baby versions of both -- so there's a good shot for Will, I should think.)

The person below me loves the book Mr. Rabbit and the Lovely Present by Charlotte Zolotow and Maurice Sendak.
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: starboardlight on July 26, 2006, 02:13:28 pm: TRUE!!! Maurice Sendak is one of my heroes. He's is one of the people who inspired me to go into design and illustration. My style is nothing like his, but my imagination is free to go where they may because of his.

the person below me has a favorite Children's book store that they visit every so often. (you have to check out Storyopolis if you ever find yourself in LA)
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: henrypie on July 26, 2006, 03:46:09 pm: No, I don't have a favorite children's bookstore, but I do go every so often to the children's department of the Enoch Pratt Free Library in Baltimore -- the main library downtown. It's a magnificent 1930 building, and the children's department has a marble goldfish pond at one end and a fireplace at the other.

The person below me has recently seen a nest of baby birds.

Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: YaadPyar on July 26, 2006, 04:38:17 pm: Sorry - never heard of it. Going back to the question about children's books, I love, love, love the Phantom Tollbooth. An all-time favorite along with The Giving Tree and The Little Prince.

The person below me knows that:

"If you please--draw me a sheep!"

"What!"

"Draw me a sheep!"

...is an invitation to a story of beauty and depth and tragedy.

The person below me doesn't spend as much time on here as they would like to.

Post by: YaadPyar on July 27, 2006, 05:44:17 pm: I do. Sorry I can't lend you mine. I like glue sticks and white-out tape. A much cleaner and more convenient delivery system for oft-used office supplies that are otherwise quite messy. This is the very strong Virgo in my astro chart speaking.

Post by: cmr107 on July 28, 2006, 01:02:39 am: YES, that drives me crazy! I never make a grocery list, but I'm usually good about remembering everything. But I hate it when I forget something.

btw I've never heard of the word "teetotal". From C's response, I gather it means "not drinking alcohol"?

Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: starboardlight on July 29, 2006, 08:14:17 am: False. I have tried. And while many would call it a gateway drug, my reaction is "It was fun, but not all that interesting." I certainly would not go out of my way to do it again. For me the effect slowed reality down. I felt like I was in slow motion world. The heaviest effect I had; I felt like I was seeing life one frame at a time, which made it hard to follow what people were talking about when I would try to have a conversation. I found that I was not very social when I was high. I preferred to just sit and enjoy music, instead. Yeah, I'm already a recluse by nature. A drug that makes me complete anti-social is not especially good for me.

Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: YaadPyar on July 30, 2006, 07:56:42 pm: No - not a lazy day. But I didn't want one either. I'm enjoying being more and more fully engaged in the world and with people than I ever thought I would/could.

The person below me has a favorite cartoon (if so, it is ____, and why).
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: starboardlight on July 31, 2006, 01:23:25 am: I love the Card Captor Sakura series from Japan. The mythology aspect is great fun, but it's also a sweet tale of a girl coming of age, dealing with love and attraction. There's also a side story of homo-erotic love between her older brother and his best friend. Over all, it's just great fun.

the person below me has had a "What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas" experience.

Post by: Katie77 on July 31, 2006, 08:28:54 am: Las Vegas....to a gambler like me, it would seem like I had gone to heaven....but because I live in Australia, havent had the opportunity....we have casinos here, one in each capitol city....so that makes seven, in the whole country....ive been to a few...but I'm sure none of them would compare to anything in Vegas.....

The person below me is a gambler
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: henrypie on July 31, 2006, 09:15:25 am: Nope, I'm not a gambler. I'm a hoarder. They are incompatible.

The person below me made an excellent find at a thrift store this weekend.
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: ednbarby on July 31, 2006, 09:24:08 am: LOL @ Sarah. Exactly why I'm not a gambler, either.

And Nipith, I have had one of those experiences. Only difference was it was a "What happens in Daytona stays in Daytona" experience. :o
(Thank God.)

No, no thrift store visits this past weekend. But I did find a great toy for Will for 10 bucks at Toys 'R Us, though. A "full" mini-drum set, complete with stool, foot pedal, cymbal and "kid-friendly" drumsticks (i.e., rubberized so not too hatefully loud - parent-friendly, really). Now he has all the elements of a rock band except for the rock stars. Oh, well. You can't have everything.

The person below me got about 10 hours of sleep total this past weekend. (I'm countin' sheep but runnin' out...)

The person below me has slept on/in silk sheets ...sounds sooo romantic :)
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: ednbarby on July 31, 2006, 01:26:14 pm: False. But I do have two sets of 1000-count cotton sheets that are to die for. Nothing like slipping into those at the end of a long day, especially when they're fresh out of the laundry that day and extra, EXTRA soft. They always feel cool - that's one thing I imagine silk sheets wouldn't do for me.

The person below me went out for dinner at least once this past weekend.
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game

The person below me has eaten "Kind" bars. They are so delicious, and they are miraculously connected with an organization that seems dedicated to doing good stuff. I love that kind of serendipity. They are based out of Australia, and I'm so glad they are sold here.

Post by: Katie77 on July 31, 2006, 04:28:24 pm: Havent tried these Kind bars....ive just read thru the details on that link you supplied and the only association i can see with Australia, is that they say one of the bars is made here....but to tell you the truth, i have never heard of them in australia or seen the products...

If the bars are tasty and you feel they are better for you than other snack bars....enjoy them......but I think the "peaceworks" thing, is a sales publicity thing, and not as good as it seems.

the person below me would like a new hair style
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: ednbarby on July 31, 2006, 04:37:14 pm: True. Like the song goes, wanna change my clothes, my hair, my face... It's one of those days. I actually just got my hair trimmed in my current "long layers" style last Wednesday and my stylist went a little overboard on the length (or lack thereof). It'll take a few weeks for it to come into its own again, I think. Then I'll love it for about five days. Then I'll want to get it trimmed again.

The person below me plans to go swimming sometime between now and bedtime.

Okay, I googled it, but still can't figure out what Tim Tam Explosions are. Some kind of candy? Please explain!

Yeah, I know how to be alone. Never understand people who say they get bored when they are alone. I think I could be in solitary confinement and still not be bored. Active mind, I guess.

I broke down and bought an air conditioner yesterday. The person below me is thinking of doing the same.
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: starboardlight on August 01, 2006, 11:13:56 am: I got a taste of Tim Tams when my Aussie cousiin came to visit. It is a sweet snack consisting of two biscuits with a layer of chocolate cream between, than the whole thing is covered in chocolate. See the link below.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Tam
The "Tim Tam Explosion" as she called it (Wiki calls it "Tim Tam Slam") is when you bite one corner off, then bite the opposite corner off. Then use the biscuit like a strawl, you suck up some hot tea or cocoa, so that the hot liquid fills out the Tim Tam. Then you pop the whole thing into your mouth. As you bite down the melting chocolate cream, the melting biscuit and the tea, all explode inside you mouth. It's heavenly!

as for the AC. nope I broke down a while back.

the person below me now wants to try some Tim Tams.

The other day a few of us at work were discussing how we'd like to be interred when we die (don't ask me why - you don't want to know). My next-cube neighbor said she wants to be cremated and have her ashes placed in a lovely urn and left in her house. She *really* loves that house. I said I don't mind if I'm cremated, but please take my ashes ANYWHERE but Florida. I get the feeling I ain't getting out of here alive, so it's my only hope.

I won't go in it. It's beyond being just like bath water - it's like hot tub water now. Even Himself last night goes, "OK, I guess I should take the solar cover off for a while." YA THINK?

I used to go swimming in the lake our house was on as soon as the temp got up to 68F. Back then, I'd have thought 76-82F was like bath water.

To be honest, I don't have a clue. I looked up the German Wikipedia and it says that popcorn is either sugared or caramelized or salted. So sugared is different from caramelized. If people make popcorn at home, they usually just sprinkle sugar on it. I've tried it, but don't like it because the sugar does not adhere to the popcorn and most of it gathers at the bottom of the bowl.
If you buy popcorn it is either sweet or (rarely) salty. But I don't have a clue how popcorn machines manage it to make the whole popcorn taste sweet. Maybe you are right and they caramelizise it.

Sure do. We grew up together, 6 of us. Have known each other for over 25 years or longer. One guy disappeared on us for a quite some years after college and no one knew what was going on with him. He resumed contact with us last year. We picked up where we left off as if he never left us even when we have taken on different directions in our life. In some way, I feel that they are like my family to me.

The person below me is watching Amelie right now (it's on IFC).
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: ednbarby on August 08, 2006, 09:58:30 pm: I wish I were! I *love* Amelie. Absolutely one of my favorite movies. I just adore the character. I love how she survived her awful childhood by creating a rich internal life for herself, and how she just assumes she's the only one who will ever live in that world. But then it turns out there's another, very much like her... LOVE it. And I love how she's always secretly doing things for other people. It's just a delight from start to finish.

Oh... the game...

The person below me was recently pleasantly surprised by a movie they were fairly certain would suck. But didn't. At all.

Billy Sive is the fiction character in "The Front Runner". Highly recommend the book. Since we all love Brokeback Mountain, I think the chance is you will like "The Front Runner".

Nope. On the contratary I have seen Caché, which has received high reviews, but the movie is weird. I thought I figured out the big mystery, but a lot things don't add up to my theory. Maybe I don't get the movie after all. Anyway I had high hope for the movie, but the movie fell flat for me.

The person below me read their friends blogs.

Do you allude to me and Donnie Darko? I sure never would have watched it if it weren't for Jake. But I had not thought it would suck, because I read many positive comments about it before watching it. But it was definately a weird movie. But weird in a good way.

The person below me thinks Katharine Hepburn was drop-dead gorgeous.
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: Katie77 on August 09, 2006, 08:00:13 am: Yes, I do, she was beautiful and such a great actress and she too had a love story, with Spencer Tracy, that was nearly as touching as Ennis and Jack.

The person below me has a secret in their life they have never told anyone about.
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: JennyC on August 09, 2006, 03:07:28 pm: I am not sure if they are necessarily secrets. I have quite a few things and many thoughts that I don’t share with others. Just don’t feel the need to and some things are best to just remain private.

The person below me sometimes falls into sleep while watching TV.
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: ekeby on August 09, 2006, 03:23:39 pm: Never, ever! I can't understand how that's even possible. My ex used to though and it annoyed the hell out of me . . . .

The person below me gets annoyed at the same thing . . . .
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: Katie77 on August 09, 2006, 06:55:50 pm: I dont get annoyed but my husband gets annoyed, because i often fall asleep watching tv...and i also snore......so he has to wake me up and send me to bed so he can hear the tv..........true story.....I am a terrible snorer....in fact if my six year old grandson sleeps over, he wont sleep with me, cause my snoring keeps him awake.....so any ideas from anyone how to cure snoring would be very much appreciated.......

anyway, back to what we are supposed to be doing here.....

I used to, but after some incidents of apnea--which is truly terrifying (you wake up feeling like your drowning)--I trained myself to sleep on my side. That works. I think there's a commercial product (D-snore?) a spray that can be used.

The person below me makes a great pea soup.

The person below me is NOT a summer person.
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: Penthesilea on August 10, 2006, 01:03:46 pm: False, I am a summer person. For a week now we have cold and rainy weather in Germany and I hate it. Had to put a sweater on today, nearly froze my a** off only with a t-shirt.
But since the calender says "summer" I'm stubborn and stick to my flip flops, no matter how cold my feet get.

The person below me is looking forward to dinner today and will tell us the reason (nice company? favourite dish? cool beer? )
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: ednbarby on August 10, 2006, 04:51:19 pm: True. And I'm three for three of your reasons. I bought some very nice filets mignon yesterday and they have been marinating overnight in my favorite citrus marinade. Gonna grill 'em tonight to perfection, as I am The Grillmaster (seriously - I require that everyone who ever has my flame-grilled steaks call me that) and have 'em with some baked sweet potatoes and fresh asparagus drizzled in a lemon/butter mixture and grilled on a skewer. With cold beer. And in the company of my husband and son, who has (thank GOD) been much better-behaved lately and is eating at the table with us regularly like the little gentleman that he is. My son has been behaving much better, too. :)

The person below me cannot begin to say how glad she or he is that tomorrow is Friday.

I had blue eyes until about 15 years ago when they began to change . . . about 15 percent (I think that's the number) of the population have eyes that change color over their lifetime. My dad's went from blue to hazel . . . .

Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: henrypie on August 11, 2006, 10:37:08 am: Nooooo way. I will sleep throroughly tonight. It took me years to realize that my only reliable cold-fighter is eight hours of sleep per night. Not that I don't skimp once in a while, but all-nighters are for true emergencies.

From the answer I'd say to stay up all night without sleep.

Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: Penthesilea on August 15, 2006, 05:55:45 pm: Half true. I love going on vacation, but I was never long enough away from home to enjoy coming back. Vacations are always too short. The exception from the rule: when I go on a trip without my family (approx. once in every 5 years), I love coming home.

The person below me is flying more than two times a year on average.
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: moremojo on August 15, 2006, 06:05:26 pm: False. I haven't flown in over twenty years. Confession time: I have a nearly paralyzing fear of flying, despite the fact that I have done so maybe five times in my life. So I become a bit like Ennis--not much of a traveller.

the person below me can remember the name of their "first love"
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: ednbarby on August 16, 2006, 11:25:59 am: True. I can remember the name of my first crush, even: Teddy. We were four. I can still see his face just the way it was, clear as day. Big, big, dark, dark eyes, eyelashes about a mile long, black, and thick. Thick, black eyebrows. Thick, brown hair. Beautiful face. We would sit on the floor in one of our kitchens, playing in silence for hours. Our mothers later told us they never saw anything like it. I never saw him again after the age of five. The name of the first boy I ever kissed was Frank (if you don't count Kirk, who grabbed me and kissed me while I was tutoring him in spelling in the second grade). I was 13, he was (gasp) 17. The name of my first love is Mark. I was 15, he was 16. Most passionate love: Joe. I was 22, he was 24. Last love (so far): Ed. 23, 29. Now 41, 47.

The person below me can remember the first phone number they ever had.

Post by: cmr107 on August 16, 2006, 07:19:10 pm: You mean like the phone number of the house you lived in when you were born? No, we moved from Arizona (where I was born) to Illinois when I was nine months old. I don't even know the area code for that first house.

But I've been known to put off a task for a spell so as to read through a thread or polish up a message I am typing up for all you lovely people to read.

The person below me would cite taking a trip to the moon as their greatest heart's desire.
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: Scott6373 on August 17, 2006, 11:13:14 am: Indeed the moon would be alovely place to be sometimes. Space and time to explore the things that are intruded upon by life on this planet. But I know my oxygen supply would run out before I was ready to leave.

The person below me states would want this more than enough oxygen to breath.
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: Front-Ranger on August 17, 2006, 11:18:11 am: Let's see, I'll take a stab at this. If I didn't have enough oxygen to breathe, then that would mean I'm either underwater or way up high...on top of a mountain!! But since I live halfway up the side of a mountain anyway, that would be all right with me! And the place I would most like to visit in the world is Tibet, where there is not enough air to breathe, but the people have adapted. The thing I would need more than air is sunlight, you can be pretty miserable if you don't have sunlight on top of a mountain!!

Post by: ednbarby on August 17, 2006, 10:47:39 pm: True. And in the mid 90s, I went through a phase of going to used record sales at flea markets and art shows every chance I got looking for the albums I grew up on and buying them when I found them for 50 cents or a buck a piece. I now have a collection of 70s and 80s era LPs in mint condition, and every now and then when I feel like hearing the music in its truest, richest form (scratches and all), I throw one on.

Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: Penthesilea on August 22, 2006, 11:46:46 am: Hope I understand you right here :)
I have some clothes which I don't wear anymore, but I don't give them away because they mean something to me: I still have a denim jacket my husband gave to me as a birthday gift, maybe 18 (or so) years ago. I don't remember which year it was, but I remember the day very gladly. My husband made this day and this present very special for me. And so I keep the jacket, although I will never again fit in it.

I also keep a jacket with military look I wore as a teenager. I loved it because my parents hated it like hell. They thought it was "not fitting for a girl". I should have worn something more stylish, more nicely - and so I loved this military jacket. Don't know why I still keep it, my father being long dead and my mother having dementia. No need to keep it anymore, my rebellious teenager daughter years long gone. Maybe that's why.

And I keep the sweatshirt my husband wore the night our first child was born. I will always remember how I pulled and tore on this shirt, it's a wonder it wasn't ripped apart :).

Oprah. Ah. Well. Oprah is Oprah. We have a love hate relationship with her. She's fabulous, but she's Oprah. It's hard to explain. There's a line in Adam and Steve that sums it up: "Oprah has made it impossible for me to have a long term relationship with anyone but Oprah."

Yeah, I'll everyonce in a while watch Dynasty when it shows up on the Soap network. And I dip into the telenovellas every once in a while--but I'm not addicted or a regular viewer of any soaps. Unless you count Desperate Housewives.

Thank you for the info on Oprah.....is it what we call in Australia "the tall poppy syndrome", where someone gets so big, that people like to pull them back down?....

And by the way, I would consider Desperate Housewives a soap....but what the hell, if you enjoy it, watch it.....We have been getting adverts of the forthcoming tv novellas on our pay tv (cable), I assume they are short stories made into short movie type shows, are they?

And by the way, dont feel funny about Desperate Housewives or Dynasty....I turn the tv on at 4.30 every afternoon and watch "Bold and the Beautiful"...(for some dramatic, true to life stories... ;) )

Thank you for the info on Oprah.....is it what we call in Australia "the tall poppy syndrome", where someone gets so big, that people like to pull them back down?....

We have been getting adverts of the forthcoming tv novellas on our pay tv (cable), I assume they are short stories made into short movie type shows, are they?

tall poppy syndrome kind of explains it, but really, Oprah is so much in a category by herself (kind of like Bill Gates) it doesn't tell the whole story. Maybe it's impossible to explain to a non-American. Part of it has to do with her do-gooderism, which is completely admirable, but then you have the things like when she gives everyone in the audience a new car. It's VERY American . . . .

A telenovella is a Spanish-language soap opera. Most of us in the US have at least one Spanish-language television station on their cable network. My satellite system offers several. Telenovellas are wonderfully cheesy and WAY over the top . . . (it helps to speak Spanish, of course)

No, haven't met anyone on this board in person; I hope I do some day.

The person after me has made no plans for the week end . . . .

Post by: nic on August 24, 2006, 12:41:14 pm: Well, I have ideas & unless I get a wriggle on tonight they will just stay ideas & not plans. Usually I plan stuff months ahead but since getting Brokeback-ed all planning has gone out the window ::)

The person below me has lived in a country different to where they were born

Katie, didn't want you to lose your place in the sequence, so let me respond here with an emphatic yes. I've had the pleasure of meeting three of my fellow BetterMostians in person, after first having communications with one of them on the board. I've meet sfericsf, ptannen, and ohiomyown, all charming folks who are wonderful assets to BetterMost and the Brokeback community at large.

I will leave nic's next "person below me" question in place...

EDIT: Oops, my bad...sorry I didn't see your reply at first, ekeby. I AM confused today...must be that 100-degree plus temperatures here. Forgive the interruption.

No, but I really want to. I'm a college student who is undecided about everything except the fact that I want to travel. Study abroad for at least a semester would be good, but I'd also like to live in another country after graduation.

The person below me is easily entertained, and happy to be so.
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: moremojo on August 24, 2006, 06:09:06 pm: Yes, and yes! I feel truly blessed to be happy with so many of the simple things in life--beautiful sunsets, a soft spring breeze, the crisp, somehow ancient nip of autumn air. My idea of the perfect date is sitting before a good movie on TV, popcorn bowl on the coffee table, and my date's hand in mine on the soft, cozy sofa. I'm a man of simple tastes, to be sure, but it's all good!

The person below me knows what their heart's desire is, and is determined to acquire it during their lifetime.
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: starboardlight on August 25, 2006, 05:33:12 am: only half true. I know exactly what my heart desires, but I'm not sure it's in reach. I'm still trying to figure out what to do.

the person below me is glad to be home.
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: ednbarby on August 25, 2006, 12:28:00 pm: Not exactly. I spent the first few days of this week at home, sick as a dog with a nasty stomach virus. I wouldn't mind a change of scenery right about now.

The person below me can count on one hand the times in his or her life they've had a nasty stomach virus.
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: Becky on August 25, 2006, 12:43:04 pm: True! Well I have only lived for 15 years so far(soon to be 16 in october ::)) So I don't have that much experience only 1/2 times.

The person below me finds it so frustrating when plans don't come together the way they thought they would.

You bet.

The person below me has used all the Brokeback smileys there are...
:) ;) ;D :D >:( :( :o ??? ::) 8) :P :-X :-\ :-* :'( :laugh: O0
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: Penthesilea on August 25, 2006, 03:26:51 pm: Not yet. I've never used these before :-X O0 and not sure about this one :D

But now a big Yes. I've used them all ;)

The person below me lives in a different country than s/he was born in (yes, Nipith, this question is inspired by your trip :))
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: cmr107 on August 25, 2006, 09:00:44 pm: No, but I want to some time. (I hope this question wasn't intended for Nipith to answer, but we all know his answer I think. ;))

The person below me would rather sit around with a few friends than go to a party or something with lots of people.
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: moremojo on August 25, 2006, 09:03:45 pm: Yes, fortunately or unfortunately, that is me. I'm not a crowds person. I do much better one on one, or in small gatherings. I seem unusually sensitive to sensory overload, and really big parties and other crowded situations tend to overwhelm me.

The person below me wishes they had been born under a different astrological sign than they were.
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: starboardlight on August 25, 2006, 09:14:01 pm: nah, never really paid much attention to astrological signs. They're fun to read but I've never come across anything that seem uniquely predictive.

the person below me found new (to you) music today.
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: Katie77 on August 25, 2006, 09:56:37 pm: Not today, but one night last week, i went thru the thread "Songs that remind you of Brokeback" and wrote down a lot of the songs, then went to Limewire and downloaded them.......some beautiful songs with some beautiful words.......

The person below me has fun dowloading music from the net
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: ekeby on August 25, 2006, 10:08:36 pm: no, don't download from the web. I get the cd's from the library and then import them into iTunes. Convenient and free.

The person after me is going antiquing tomorrow.

ASIDE: In the 70s, when "what sign are you?" was a standard pick up line, I could answer "One of the two signs that you aren't gonna like."

The answer would come back, "Scorpio?"

"No," I'd say.

They'd think a second. "Capricorn?"

"Yep." Then they'd make a face and go "euuuuugh . . . ." Never failed.

I wonder if Chinese astrological signs might not become a new pick up line for the 00s (how do we refer to the first decade of the twenty-first century?). A lot more knowledge of this alternate (or complementary) astrological system has been attained in the West in recent years, and I for one have been pretty impressed with my own profile--it really seems to ring true (I am a Goat, by the way, or Ram, or Sheep, depending on the translation one is using).

As a further aside, Ennis and Jack, if born (as many surmise) in 1943, were Goats as well.

Please pardon my interruption of the thread's normal flow. Please resume normal asking and answering.

Will I go antiquing ?? NO!! I live in a very old house and I have decided to actually get rid of things rather than buy more. I am having my brother make me asome new painted and/or varnished pine pieces. Clean smooth and minimal.

The person below me is considering deep frying a whole turkey. Or is that one totally dead??
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: starboardlight on August 26, 2006, 08:26:41 pm: I should hope it's totally dead before it's deep fried. :P but yeah, i've considered deep frying turkey, still haven't gotten the courage to try it though.

the person below me seems to always lose his/her sunglasses.
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: cmr107 on August 27, 2006, 01:30:47 am: No, I'm one of those cool people who has prescription sunglasses. 8) I know you're all jealous, it's ok. :P

The person below me loves to dance.
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: Becky on August 27, 2006, 01:47:42 pm: True! Whether I can dance is another question! ;D

The person below me can't go on the computer(for pleasure) without listening to music at the same time.
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: Penthesilea on August 27, 2006, 03:01:41 pm: False. I barely ever listen to music while on the computer.

The person below me has seen a movie whose title contains the name Aguirre. (I did, long ago. Had forgotten about this movie and wondered, why the name Aguirre sounded so familiar to me).
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: Katie77 on August 27, 2006, 09:36:58 pm: Not Aguire.....but I've seen a few with "cowboy" or "jack".....does that count......(i'm being a smart arse).......

the person below me knows somebody in real life called "Ennis"....(I dont)
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: henrypie on August 28, 2006, 09:54:54 am: Boringly, I don't know an Ennis personally either.

The person below me has eaten at Tacos Del Mar.
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: Penthesilea on August 28, 2006, 12:35:42 pm: Nope. But if I ever happen to see a Taco Del Mar be sure I will be inside a minute later ;D

The person below me loves the name Ennis Del Mar. Just the name itself (I do, and did even before I saw the movie. Especially Ennis is such a beautiful name. And I like the fact that it means island. So fitting for the character).
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: moremojo on August 28, 2006, 01:53:05 pm: You bet I do! Never encountered the name Ennis before 'Brokeback', but I imagine we'll see a few more Ennises in the world in the forthcoming generations. I heard a beautiful Celtic-inflected instrumental piece yesterday called "Dark Island", and I think that is a wonderful description of our Ennis (Ennis being of Celtic origin, meaning 'island').

The person below me is getting anxious about coming up with new questions for this game!
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: Katie77 on August 28, 2006, 05:36:24 pm: yeah, sometimes I do......usually i follow on from whats just been said, or other times, i just ask a question about something that am doing at the time......

Please, dont be anxious about it, just go with the flow.........

the person below me finds the questions and answers on this thread, very interesting......(as I do)
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: cmr107 on August 28, 2006, 06:42:08 pm: Yep, that's why I play this game.

The person below me keeps a very neat and tidy desk. (I don't - I've only been moved into my dorm for a week and already the desk is getting messy again. Sigh.)
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: Katie77 on August 29, 2006, 12:51:27 am: I do all the bookwork and paperwork for our small pet shop business, from my home office, and it is always a mess......I find when I tidy it up, I cant find a damn thing.........

the person below me prefers energy drinks to fizzy soda drinks....
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: cmr107 on August 29, 2006, 12:54:04 am: Actually I don't drink much of either. I usually think energy drinks taste bad, and I rarely drink soda.

The person below me doesn't get enough sleep.
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: moremojo on August 29, 2006, 09:26:11 am: Definitely not enough during the work-week. I usually get by on about six hours, sometimes less, though I'm more of a nine-hours person in regard to really feeling rested. The problem is I'm a night owl--I feel my best emotionally, mentally, and physically in the evenings, and so don't want to go to bed when that would actually be in my best interests. I tend to catch up on my rest on the weekends (which I practically live for).

The person below me believes they have lived a previous life.
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: starboardlight on August 29, 2006, 12:30:31 pm: no. i'm open to the idea, but I don't have any real reason to believe it.

the person below me always shred unsolicited credit applications.
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: Scott6373 on August 29, 2006, 12:35:51 pm: Yes I do as well as other things.

The person below me has bought the most emabrrasing thing on a credit card.
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: henrypie on August 29, 2006, 01:22:22 pm: What's The Most Embarrassing Thing!?!

Oh please do tell.

I have not bought anything particularly embarrassing on a credit card, although on my statements the address for the Target I frequent always comes up, instead of "Putty Hill Avenue" as "Potty Hill Avenue." I think that's cute. Potty Hill, not far from Flushing Meadow.

The person below me, when traveling via Southwest airline, and has been unprepared or unfortunate enough to be in a boarding group other than "A," nerdily camps out at beginning of group "B" or "C," sitting on the floor doing crossword puzzles until blessed boarding time.
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: ednbarby on August 30, 2006, 09:45:16 am: I have to admit I've done a variation of that many times. When they call out rows on other airlines, and I know mine will probably be included in the next announcement, I try to oh-so-nonchalantly meander towards the general vicinity of the ticket taker so I'll be the very first to board for my row. I have a real need to hurry up and wait, I guess. (And why is it that even when you do that, you get on the plane and people are still blocking your way who are seated several rows ahead of yours???)

The person below me is ravenously hungry right now and (mostly) powerless to do anything about it at the moment.
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: cmr107 on August 30, 2006, 02:45:32 pm: Nope, just ate. But I hate it when that happens, Barb.

The person below me uses one of those things to support your wrist while working on the computer. (I just got one for my mouse and don't know how I made it this far without it!)
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: Katie77 on August 31, 2006, 02:59:32 am: Dont know if those things have reached Australia yet...but I dont have any trouble with my wrist anyway...I seem to type more than I use my mouse.....

The person below me chats frequently on Instant Messenger.....
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: nic on August 31, 2006, 07:50:43 am: No, only rarely. It can be fun though & just as good as talking. I really must learn about that skype internet phone thingy one of these days.

The person below me can kill or maim even the most hardy houseplant ;D
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: ednbarby on August 31, 2006, 08:41:46 am: Absolutely true. I have a black thumb.

The person below me will *not* be watching "Survivor" this year (which is no big sacrifice in my case, since I discovered in its first season that I don't get my jollies watching people be encouraged to be unethical).
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: Katie77 on August 31, 2006, 08:51:25 am: I have never watched a full episode of any Survivor.....I have seen bits and pieces at times when I have been channel searching, or seen the end of a show, while waiting for the next show to come on.....nothing I have seen, has made me want to watch it....but then again I dont watch many reality shows at all....

the person below me, checks in to Bettermost the last thing before going to bed, and the first thing each morning......

Me either . . . I just don't get it . . . the contestants seem mean. Which is one of the reasons I never fully enjoyed Will and Grace. The characters were often just plain mean to each other . . . .

Yeah, I definitely check my four email addresses first thing in the morning (one of which gets Buttermost alerts), and sometimes just before bed as well, but not always . . . .

The person below me is surprised how chilly it is this morning (like it is here in south central Wisconsin) . . . .

Post by: cmr107 on September 03, 2006, 01:37:24 am: I've been surprised at how chilly it's been all the time lately, here in the Chicago area. It seems weird for August/September.

The person below me loves big cities.
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: starboardlight on September 03, 2006, 02:01:50 am: sure do. Big cities are scary and exciting all at once. I love exploring them.

the person below me has had a very bad week. (come on, commiserate with me)
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: fernly on September 03, 2006, 02:06:21 am: Aw, Nipith...
yeah, me too,
but my week finished up ok(see next)

The person below me is learning to do something they've always wanted to do.
(I'm taking riding lessons - cantered on Friday for the first time. Yeehaw!!)
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: ednbarby on September 03, 2006, 09:16:28 am: Ooh, I wish I could say that were true. I did take a few lessons when I was a kid. But that was a long, loooooooooong time ago.

The person below me is starting to feel like an elderly person when he or she gets out of bed in the morning ("Oh, my back!" "Oh, my knees!")
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: cmr107 on September 03, 2006, 11:49:38 am: Hahaha. Sort of. I'm only 19, but I have scoliosis (my spine is curved in ways it shouldn't be). It's not that bad, but I do seem to get sore more than other people.

The person below me loves for things to be colorful and bright.
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: Katie77 on September 03, 2006, 05:18:46 pm: Colour and brightness.....yes yes yes.....as I read today in Lucise's thread, "the sun rays coming down".....makes for a beautiful world......

(and to ednbarby....it used to take my hubby, 10 minutes to get out of bed properly, a few months ago we invested in an expensive cushion topped bed mattress, its like sleeping on a cloud, and we both bounce out of bed now every morning)

the person below me also realizes how important a good mattress is......
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: starboardlight on September 03, 2006, 08:14:27 pm: that's so true. as i get older a good mattress is making such a difference. this week especially with all that's been going on and me still having my jet lag on top of all those things, sleep seems like a unicorn that run off when ever I think I'm getting close to it.

the person below me appreciates a good long run in the summer evening.
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: ednbarby on September 04, 2006, 10:21:06 am: Um, no. Not so much. A good long walk, but not until at least October. It's way too hot in the evenings down here to enjoy one until then. (Hence I do pretty much all my exercising during the summer months in my gym.)

And Katie, we have one of those expensive cushion-topped mattresses. And I still feel my back and knees creaking when I get up in the morning. It's really sad.

The person below me just enjoyed a yummy breakfast.
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: Penthesilea on September 04, 2006, 03:51:18 pm: Three times false. "just" is wrong because it's already 9.45pm here. And "breakfast" is wrong because I don't eat anything for breakfast. Let alone "yummy"

The person below me thinks that Randall is an ugly guy (I was pretty surprised that some people even found him good looking. I though he was not only not good looking, but downright ugly).
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: ekeby on September 04, 2006, 07:39:00 pm: I wouldn't say Randall was ugly, but I sure didn't think he was attractive. He was average-looking, I'd say . . .

The person below me wasn't (or isn't) sure--like I was--exactly who Randall is without looking at the cast list on IMDB . . .
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game

Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: moremojo on September 05, 2006, 01:51:47 pm: You bet...it has kept me alive. I'm using diet in its broadest sense as meaning the food one eats (sorry, I hope you can forgive my facetiousness). But no, I've actually never been on a diet in the weight-losing meaning, unless you can count the grief-induced period immediately post-Brokeback, when, like Ennis, I couldn't stomach many slices of cherry cake, let alone much of anything else. And yes, I lost twenty pounds for it...thank you, Ang and Annie, and all the rest!

The person below me has come to feel they have shifted in sexual orientation during the course of their life.
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: ekeby on September 06, 2006, 10:56:49 am: absolutely NO shifting in my sexual orientation, though there was a point in my life when I went to a shrink to see if I could become "normal." This was after by BBM experience, when my boyfriend got married. I thought maybe I should too. To my shrink's credit, he was supportive, but ever so gently steered me toward acceptance. This was, uh, 40 years ago!

The person below me realized they had same-sex attractions from early childhood . . .
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: moremojo on September 06, 2006, 11:27:28 am: Does the age of nine count? If so, then yes, that would describe me. That was the age when I had my first infatuation on another boy, a fellow classmate of mine in the fourth grade. Even before that, I remember identifying with girls and girl's traditional interests much more strongly than with boys'. I know that that is not a necessary corollary to male homosexuality, but it did seem, in my case, to be a harbinger of things to come.

The person below me loves vanilla better than chocolate.
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: cmr107 on September 06, 2006, 12:35:32 pm: Absolutely YES! Call me crazy (you won't be the first), but I don't like chocolate at all. My friends all make fun of me, but there you have it. I love vanilla.

The person below me eats meals at weird times.
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: Becky on September 06, 2006, 06:00:24 pm: True! Over the past few weeks I have been on a summer break and seeing as most days I didn't get up until 12ish I would have breakfast then, go out and then when I came back in I would have a lunch style snack and then end up having dinner at about 10pm. Very strange, but now I am back at school it is back to waking up at 7:00 again, damn it! ;)

The person below me would have laughed if someone had told them a year ago that they would be on something like BM.
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: cmr107 on September 07, 2006, 12:49:55 am: Yeah probably. A year ago I had a lot on my mind - I was just starting college!

The person below me sometimes tries to do too many things at once, leaving no time for relaxing. :-\
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: starboardlight on September 07, 2006, 09:04:08 pm: yeah, sometimes. but usually it's the opposite for me. I always like to plan for things to take more time than they really do.

the person below me enjoys a caipirinha when it gets warm.

Caipirinha is a Brazilian cocktail, with a simple but distinctly tangy sweet taste. Really good for warm summer evenings.
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: Katie77 on September 08, 2006, 07:13:26 pm: Sounds very nice, but I have never tried it........

the person below me enjoys hearing about different foods and drinks from other countries
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: starboardlight on September 09, 2006, 01:46:46 pm: I definitely do. If anyone listen to podcasts you should check out KCRW's Good Food.
http://www.kcrw.com/show/gf
http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=73331041

Even more than hearing about food and drinks, the person below me enjoys trying them. (lucky me, being in LA, I there's actually a lot of opportunities).

Post by: Katie77 on September 09, 2006, 07:01:18 pm: I dont eat nothin' I havent tried before.......but reminds of a time my hubby had to go to Korea for a working trip, he was taken out to dinner, and treated to a Korean banquet by his Korean colleagues, he told me he had a bottle of coke beside him, and with every mouthful of food, he had to wash it down with a swig of coke...didnt want to offend anyone.....

the person below me gives the house an extra clean, when visitors are expected
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: cmr107 on September 10, 2006, 01:11:15 am: Sometimes. Depends on the visitor. And actually I don't really do that anymore, not that I'm here in a dorm. Visitors can be expected at any given time, and no matter how messy my room is, I know there are always going to be messier rooms.

The person below me is afraid they're going to be sick soon. (It seems like half the people I know are sick right now. I'm fine so far!)

Post by: injest on September 10, 2006, 02:04:07 am: well I have had a sinus headache all day!! LOL...they can turn bad on you in a heartbeat! so yeah, worried about a sinus infection and popping decongestants!!

the person below me is hoping they come out with a deluxe DVD of BBM for Christmas!
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: Katie77 on September 10, 2006, 05:01:57 am: Yes a deluxe edition would be great.....even better would be a remake of the original movie, with many more love scenes, more reunions kisses, and and "lived happily ever after" ending......

The person below me, gets depressed when they think of all the hoo haa about Christmas.....(I find it hard to get around all the fuss and bother for just a 24 hour day)

Post by: saucycobblers on September 10, 2006, 12:17:58 pm: I hate that it starts so early (usually late Sept / early Oct here in th UK ::)). My Mum says that when she was a kid everything was a done in a big rush about 3 days before Christmas and it made it really exciting. Yeah, I hate the ethos of the modern Christmas.

The person below me has phoned someone they love today...
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: Katie77 on September 10, 2006, 06:37:33 pm: Yes, I phoned my wonderful girlfriend who lives 800 miles away....she is upset about a love relationship on the brink of ending, and I have been trying to give her some positive and supportive words of wisdom........

the person below me has a close friend, that you know, needs you, without even contacting you......
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: cmr107 on September 10, 2006, 10:59:26 pm: Yes I do. And we've only been friends for 5 years! She's like my twin.

The person below me has had exciting news recently. Care to share?

You can count yourself blessed then to have such a good friend....I have one like that too, and we love each other unconditionally.....

Something exciting,?....well, it was good, does that count....I rang the airline, to cancel a booking that I had made for my son, the fare was $400....when I rang to cancel, I was told there is no refund on that grade ticket...I thought f***).....then she said," just a minute, apparently it looks like there has been a schedule change to your original departure times, which voids the "no refund" policy, so a full refund will be credited to your credit card"......

Phew!...that was good..someone was looking after me today......

the person below me, uses plane travel a lot.......
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: cmr107 on September 13, 2006, 04:04:25 pm: Well, being a student, time and money are big issues for traveling. I wish I traveled more. I/we usually end up driving when we do travel though. I'm trying to plan on studying abroad soon though! I'm sure I'll take a plane for that!

The person below me is getting sick. :-\

Post by: Penthesilea on September 13, 2006, 05:07:17 pm: Hell NO! No f*ing way. I'm leaving for London (Euro Brokie gathering) in 27 hours ;D

The person below me has been to London (I was once; this will be my second visit)
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: Pipedream on September 13, 2006, 05:21:09 pm: I've been there twice as a student for very brief visits. But that was ten years ago, and I don't know the City very well.
The Euro Brokie Meeting this weekend will be my third trip to London. Yeehawww!

The person below me has been to Bavaria and drunk a "Maß" (= 1 Liter) beer. ;D

Unfortunately ! Would love to try it one day !

The person below me is a teeto taller ! ( Have I spelt that right? )
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: moremojo on September 15, 2006, 05:15:40 pm: You bet I'm a teetotaller! Never been a fan of alcohol--don't find its taste pleasant, and have gotten sick from it. Getting sick from red wine when you're twelve (imbibing it because you think it's "cool") is enough to turn you off from the stuff for a lifetime. I have been buzzed once, and was glad to have the experience, but also found it scary, because I truly thought nothing of the feelings of those around me. I have seen something of the power of alcohol to destroy people's lives. Dangerous stuff, that still gets trivialized in our culture.

Okay...off my soapbox. The person below me has climbed their country's highest mountain.

Edit:A correction of a minor typo. Those things drive me batty if I leave them unmodified.

.

Yeah, same as me...dont like the taste and when I did, it made me sick.......

as far as our highest mountain....well compared to some it would probably amount to a "hill"...but our highest mountain is Mt.Kosiusko......one of the only areas in australia where it snows in the winter.....but I havent climbed it.....

the person below me is a perfectionist, and crosses every "T" and dots every "I"...
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: ednbarby on September 16, 2006, 07:57:16 am: Absolutely true. Many of my posts are edited because I notice typos in them when I read them later, and like Scott, I can't stand the thought of them.

The person below me had an excellent night's sleep last night (in my case, it was the first in a very long time).
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: Katie77 on September 16, 2006, 09:03:13 am: Yes, I sleep like a baby......and I'm just about to go to bed now, seeing as us aussies sleep when you all are awake.......

the person below me finds that cabbage gives you wind...............

(I am on a diet, and have to have three cups of vegies every night, but, I've got to give that cabbage away)
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: a_r2006 on September 17, 2006, 11:09:53 am: ...er...true !

Not only cabbage , but brussel sprouts , peas (!) too ! As if nyone did not know that !

The person below me loves the fresh smell of the earth after it has rained.
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: ednbarby on September 17, 2006, 01:19:29 pm: So true. And I love that metallic smell right before it starts, too. We're in our rainy season down here in South Florida, so I'm enjoying those aromas a lot lately. I also love the way the trees look right after a heavy rain - how the water darkens the trunks and makes them stand out that much more against the battleship grey sky.

The person below me loves thunder storms.
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: cmr107 on September 17, 2006, 04:05:51 pm: True! I love lightening also.

The person below me has had an interesting experience recently.
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: Katie77 on September 17, 2006, 04:49:52 pm: Interesting?....well, we got a new puppy a couple of weeks ago, and the last two weeks have been an absolute joy, watching him, and seeing his habits form...it has been a great delight.....

the person below me has many pets and animals in their life
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: moremojo on September 18, 2006, 11:32:11 am: Quite true! My sister and I (we live together, by the way, and are actually very good friends) have three adorable, if sometimes pesky cats (Zoot, Smooch, and Chelsea, all spayed females--never been mothers), and we sometimes feed an apparently abandoned gray male cat (not neutered) who shows up in our backyard occasionally. We also have a colony of raccoons in our walls (that is really crazy and annoying, and I don't what we are going to have to do to solve that problem), and occasional visits from scrounging opossums in our backyard at night. So we have quite the menagerie at our menage!

The person below me prefers oranges over apples.
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: Penthesilea on September 18, 2006, 02:57:37 pm: True. I don't like apples at all unless they're in a cake or pie :)

The person below me can do the Vulcan salute:

Post by: cmr107 on September 18, 2006, 07:56:22 pm: Sure did!

The person below me has had a fantastic day today! ;D
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: ednbarby on September 20, 2006, 07:49:42 pm: False. But it wasn't terrible, either.

The person below me is looking forward to going to a really fun rock concert with friends near home this weekend.
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: Katie77 on September 20, 2006, 08:10:39 pm: Nope....at 55 i think i'm a little bit too old for rock concerts...but it sounds like you are, so hope you have a ball.....

the person below me looks at the washing that needs doing, and would rather be on here chatting to her friends......
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: Penthesilea on September 21, 2006, 03:59:54 am: That must be some mighty fine binoculars you have (Aguirre would be envious), to make you able to look into my bathroom all the way from Australia to Germany ;D
*sigh* Must be around 9 loads of a full washing machine I have waiting here for me. Plus two loads on the clothesline, one in the tumbler and one in the washing machine, wich are both finished now and waiting for me to go on with my work.

The person below me has finally done something today, wich s/he has procrastinated for a while.
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: cmr107 on September 21, 2006, 01:15:58 pm: Not quite yet, but the day is still young.

The person below me has big decisions to make soon. (I need to pick a major this year, and I'm trying to get plans in motion to study abroad next year. Wish me luck!)
Title: Re: "The Person Below Me" Game
Post by: Katie77 on September 21, 2006, 03:54:21 pm: The biggest decision I got to make today, is what beach we are going to go to....its a lovely morning, and we plan on taking our puppy to the beach.....

the person below me has skin that should not be exposed to too much sun...

Well,may be not so for health reasons-U-V radiation and so forth.But to ogle at naked defined male flesh-delectable biceps,pectorals and six-packs ! Yummy ! Yummy !

Have fun ,Katie !

By the way,does anybody remember the case of the woman who lodged a court case to allow women to roam toplessso they could have equal rights as men?

The judge dismissed the case saying that anyone who thought men'
