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 !"
-
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.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

False.
The person below me peels potatoes only with a paring knife.

False. That's why potato peelers were invented.

The person below me purchased BBM DVDs for friends or relatives who were too embarrassed to do it themselves. :D
-
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.
-
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!).
The person below me has never set foot on Antarctica.
-
True. The farthest south I've been is Curaçao.
The person below me has eaten beans right out of the can.

The person below me has smoked grass and maybe something a little stronger during a camping trip.
-

The person below me loves to spend saturday nights at church socials.
-
False, no fire-and-brimstone crowd for me.
The person below me has actually been to Wyoming.
-
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.
-
Yup, worked at a racetrack pacing and grooming.

-
Hell no! I'm not a crazy movie fan, am I?? :P I saw it only four times...
The person below me doesn't know what it's like being broke all the time.
-
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.

And thanks for aging me ;)
The person below me been on TV for any reason.

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 hasn't changed their haircut in years - just can't figure out a better look...

-
Perhaps not asked. More waved said foot under poor person's nose and hinted heavily :D
The person below me spends many end-of-evenings sat on their back doorstep with a cup of something hot, looking up at the stars and contemplating the meaning of life...

I don't know why, and I have no idea how I can possibly to do this without getting sick of it, but do it I do. I know the sound so well that I hardly hear it in some ways, so it's doesn't move me to tears. But I somehow am comforted by it nonetheless.

-
False - I was Ennis so very much. Now I'm learning more about Jack & realise I've been a teeny bit Jack too, but mainly Ennis.
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!)
-
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.

True, and add Palm Pilot and other gadgets that suppose to help you organize your life to the list. :)

-
True! My oldest and dearest friend bought it for me about 15 years ago and it's got 'Film Buff' written on it!

-
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." I love them so much, I wear them year-round in Florida. And they're knee-high. But other than them, I couldn't care less about shoes.

The person below me loves to read.
-
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...
The person below me is well reknowned in her or his circle for being obsessive.
-
Jake wears a black leather ensemble? Hmmmm - memory problem here...

-
Thanks, David - guess I never noticed that was black leather.
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?
;D
The person below me gets crumbs in the butter.
-
False. Way too obsessive for that.

No, I wish I could wear my face au natural though! 8)
The person below me has eaten at a place named "Knife & Fork." :laugh:

Ther person below me loves trouts.
-
Ugh, no. The only fish I like is cod. :)

ANYway...
The person below me suddenly feels the urge to smoke a cigarette.

False. Never smoke a cigarette in my life, never smoke anything as a matter of fact. I know, I know, I am boring :).
The person below me usually dreams in color. (Some people's dreams are mostly black and white).

The person below me finds solutions to problems in their dreams.
-
Not really. But I often woke up glad that the problems I dreamed of didn't exist in reality...
The person below me always has beer in his/her refrigerator. :)
-
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.
Whoops - Pipedream - you beat me to it.
True - I always have beer in my refrigerator. Coors Light for Ed and Honey Brown for me (and guests who don't like light beer).
The person below me sometimes has a 'nervous talking' thing.
-
False, but I like listening to those who do! :D

The person below me has spent over $500 on a pair of shoes ... :)
-
OMG - no, no, no. Totally not into shoes beyond necessity. :laugh:
The person below me has a favorite "guilty pleasure" movie or tv show.
-
Guess so ::), though it changes from time to time. :)
Celeste beat me to the shoe question. Anyway here is my answer:
Over $500 on a pair of shoes ??!!! I would kill myself for that. I can think of a lot of better uses for that $500. :)
The person below me likes to talk to himself/herself when he/she is driving alone.
-
Does swearing at other drivers count?
The person below me has "fooled around" outdoors.
-
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 has visited the Arctic Circle.
-
Never been that far north...
The person below me is worred about growing older.
-
Nope. My friends who are 30+ claim that I don't care about getting older because I am not 30 yet.. ;D

-
6? OMG! I don't even get along with the one ! LOL

Yep - a couple. Both times I was rear-ended. Last one was pretty severe. I watch the rear view mirror a LOT since then.
The person below me makes the same wish every year when they blow out their birthday candles.
-
True. It changed when my son was born, but has been the same wish every year since.
The person below me is feeling restless tonight for some reason.
-
haha - I have 7! It was fun growing up with so many brothers and sisters.
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
"The person below me is feeling restless tonight for some reason."
False. It's still afternoon on the west coast ;D. So far, I am doing ok. I will let you know if I feel restless tonight.
The person below me loves science fiction when they grew up.
-
False. Science fiction has mostly just been uninteresting to me...too much to learn to understand the stories.
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.
-
*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.
-
TRUE. TRUE. TRUE. TRUE. TRUE. TRUE. Why do I enjoy this little game? Could not begin to tell you even, and I never play games. But I'm not sure if "way" too prolific is right, or just the right amount of prolific...
The person below me only aswers the phone when they know who's calling.
-
False. I answer even if I know from caller ID that it's a telemarketer. I am brusque with them, though.
The person below me keeps wishing they could answer, respond to, argue about, or elaborate on other "person below me" posts that they miss the chance to reply to.
-
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
----------
The person below me keeps wishing they could answer, respond to, argue about, or elaborate on other "person below me" posts that they miss the chance to reply to.
Not really...I love this game! :)
The person below me has used the "its not you, its me speech" when splitting up.. :P
-
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.
-
Semi-false. I used to think that way, but I don't even bother to try anymore. I know I will be here as much as humanly possible.

The person below me still loves someone from their past of whom they wish they hadn't let go ...
-
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...
The person below me still wonders about 'the one that got away'.
-
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...
The person below me still wonders about 'the one that got away'.

The person below me enjoys whiskey.
-
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.

Probably because my best male friend is gay. :)
The person below me shed a tear over Will's departure announcement. :'(
-

The person below me has/dreams of having a house by the sea.
-
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: ::)
-
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.)
The person below me will be watching the season finale of The Sopranos tonight.

The person below me considers himself/herself a news junkie.

Very true. No matter what I'm doing, CNN is on my TV.

-
I love the city, but I sometimes crave going off to a quiet place in nature to sit and relax, away from TV, internet etc.
The person below me has caught a partner cheating ...
-
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.

(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).
-
True !
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 !

False. I'm a city dweller. No garden of any kind - no soil to till, except for the soot and grime of city air, which isn't all that good for veggies.
The person below me keeps wanting to watch the BBM DVD, but hesitates for some reason.

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.

-
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.
-

The person below me is an avid "Murder She Wrote" (TV Series) fan.. :)
-
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 eats the apple and the core both.
-
LOL, no I cut it out, or leave that part when I eat the apple.
The person below me has a few reoccurring dreams.
-
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.
-
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
Are you going to tell me what all of it means now?
Unfortunately I am no Freud. Maybe we can ask Dr. Melfi. :) I just find dreams fascinating, as I am trying to figure out some of my dreams.

I do think there is a special enjoyment in seeing a movie by yourself though. you see what you want, no worries or judgement about how you'll react to the film. no pressure to give intelligent response to why you enjoyed Kill Bill.
the person below me knows how to surf.
-
No, not at all. :)
The person below me has been both the "dumper" and the "dumpee" in former relationships. ;)

The person below me has a favorite pen and journal for writing.
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.

The person below me loves movie theater popcorn, but hates the high cost so rarely buys it.

No. Buy beer and gummi bears (no popcorn!) at the kiosk! That's my rule.

Oh, no doubt I do! :)

The person below me has a weird habit that does not make sense to others, but totally logical to themselves.
-
MOI ?
A weird habit ? no way
I am totally logical. - oops
The person below me knows what a bouquet garni is.
-
Oui. But I don't usually cook French food - never in fact, so don't often use one. I prefer spices to herbs in cooking.
The person below me has a good sense of direction.
-
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. I like to picture map in my mind when I go to a new place. As long as I have a map, I am not afraid to go anywhere.
The person below me wears glasses or contact lenses.

False. Used to. Had LASIK eye surgery years ago though, so only sunglasses now.

The person below me has gorgeous long hair which they pamper excessively !
-
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 has a Disney film in their top 10 favourite films.

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.

The person below votes in the every election since he/she became eligible.
-
I vote sporadically. Sometimes I care, sometimes not.
The person below me has cared for someone dying.
-
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.

The person below me sings along to the car stereo and doesn't care if anyone else notices.
-
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.
-
True. Hell. I got shit I ain't even told myself yet. ;)
The person below me has been denied security clearance when applying for a job at an intelligence agency.
(And, ahem, that's completely hypothetical. I wouldn't know... ::))
-
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.
-
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.

-

I was only four at that time ! I had a rather strict upbringing and my mother would have thrown a fit if I had done that !
The person below me lost their virginity at the age of 16 !
-
I really shouldn't be answering all of these seeing as I am not at that age yet, but it is funny to do so. But I am 16 at the end of this year and I don't plan on lossing it anytime soon...I mean do I want to loose anything else? I have already lost my marbles and that is enough for now. ;D
The person below me has taken my recent quizas(if not you should damn it, I have already given an extention on it!) ::)

The person below me wants to upgrade their computer technology so BetterMost.net is available at even higher speeds.
-
Nope, my computer is just fine. :)
The person below me has fallen out with some family/friends over their BBM addiction...
-
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.

-
pff! False, of course.
The person below me own electric carving knife. ;D
-
The person below me has fallen out with some family/friends over their BBM addiction...
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.
The person below me own electric carving knife. ;D
Oh double question ummm we did but we never used it so I think my mum gave it to some random charity shop, but if we still had it now I would use it all the time on sandwiches and all kinds of things it wasn't supposed to be used for.

-
No, I like to have 'em if I can. I live far from family, so any chance to get together is good..
The person below me absolutely loves Macaroni and cheese (home-made of course) :)
-
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.

Yes and no. Sitting in the actual airplane, especially during takeoffs and landings, makes me kind of sick, but I love going places on planes.

The person below me keeps a journal.
-
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.

Oops - double post. True to Celeste's (loved finally talking to you the other night, by the way), too.
The person below me misses snow.
-
(I loved talking to you too - let's do more of it....).

At the peak of my BBM madness, I met someone named Jack (he was trying to invite me to a movie),

The person below me just needs silence once in a while.

A lot more than every once in a while. I can't be with people if I can't be alone.

-
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 would really love to take a nap.

False. I only nap on weekends. :)
The person below me has paid all of their bills for the month. :D

the person below me always has fresh cut flowers in their homes.
-
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. I only buy flowers on special occasions or when been told to (give flowers to teachers at my daughter's school). ;P
The person below me will go extra miles to delivery what they have promised, and will feel very guilty if they can not carry out their promise.
-
Very true. I pride myself on the old mantra of "When I say I'm gonna do something, dammit, I DO it." Sometimes that can be more of a liability than an asset, though.
The person below me is listening to Brokeback Mountain Radio. :)
-
Not this minute, no. ;)
The person below me has homophobes or racists in their family ... :-\
-
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.

That's me.

-
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.

Ooops, too late, Isebelle beat me to it.

the person below me has lived in more than 5 different cities.
-
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.
The person below me doesn't know better than to start political discussions in mixed company.
-
I plead guilty, I'm afraid!
The person below me has been on strike/marched to support (political) causes.
-
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.
-
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 knows more than 10 people with a Birthday in June.
-
Yap, myself included! :)

The person below me has never had to stay in hospital overnight (for themselves).
-
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.
-
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 smartened up and went somewhere fun tonight, church social or otherwise.

-
Not yet, but I'm planning on it. I'm young, plenty of time! ;D
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.)
-
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)

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.
-
I've never had it, but I don't really like sour, so chances are I probably wouldn't like it. :P

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

I suck at bowling.
The person below me likes a very neat work space around their computer.
-
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.

-
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.)
-

-
False. HA!
The person below me is about to join the ranks of the 1000+ posts club. ;D

Nope - been there done that, but congrats to you Barb. I find this to be the most dubious sort of distinction, and am completely ambivalent about what it says...
The person below me LOOOOOOOOOOVES office supplies.
-
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.

The person below me has hated someone with all their might (even if they're sorry they ever did, now).
-
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.

Very soon ... :-\
The person below me sometimes takes sleeping pills..
-
No, never have and don't intend to.

Nope, I'm a college student. Sleeping is what I'm best at. ;D
Oops, double post. Yes, I've read it several times.
The person below me has spent over $100 on BBM movie tickets.
-
NO!! And anyway I use EURO ;)
The person below me hardly ever goes to bed as early as they should.
-
True that, my sista! I always intend to go to bed by 10pm, but it's more like midnight that I finally crawl under the sheets.
the person below is going to wake up before 7 am, tomorrow morning.
-
No I won't, even though I should.
The person below me never ever wrings it out.
(I am thinking wet clothes folks ... ::) )
-
I get someone else to do it ;)
The person below me was a real chatterbox in class and drove their teachers crazy.
-
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.
-
You, Barb, a chatterbox?! Gosh, I find that hard to believe! ;) :-*
Yes, I loved English best. Art a close second.
The person below me hated phy ed class (or gym class, if that's what you call it).
-
False; I still like participating in sports. :)
The person below me loved chemistry class. :D
-
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.
-
True! It's so good for one's skin and hair! 8)
The person below me can maintain a flourishing garden. :)
-
No, but trying to. It's just a yard really & I've been trying to plant up borders but now we've got a drought so with that, cats that like to dig, my gardening skills (lack of) plus slugs = not a flourishing garden >:(
The person below me was ever so slightly freaked out by that photo of masses of snow people but thought it was cute too
-
False, when they melt they'll create much needed moisture! :laugh:
The person below me stopped at Starbucks this morning. :)
-
No, even though I'm not from Texas, I don't drink coffee. :P
The person below me always return movies and library books on time.
-
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 has favorite foods that they eat meal after meal until they're sick of them, and move onto another favorite food for a while.
-
No - Generally speaking, I do not get addicted to anything easily. English, and BBM, excepted.
The person below me loves having unexpected visitors.
-
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.
-
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.
Nay bother, I will call in advance :laugh:
Anyhow, you all, I don't particularly like unexpected visits either! Now you're warned.
I *like* being exposed to new music.
The person below me would love to travel in space.
-
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!
The person below me has the soul of an artist and a poet.
-
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).
-
That's right, I don't like unexpected phone calls outside of these hours.
The person below me can't stand having the TV on when no one's watching any specific program.
-
Sometimes I like having the TV on just for the noise. But not always.
The person below me doesn't like it when it's windy outside.
-
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.
The person below me gets tired of having to decide what to eat for every meal.
-
Oh so true. Gets boring after a while.
The person below me never goes out New Years eve.
-
True. It's part two of my "Always drink heavily within crawling distance of your bed" rule.
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.
-
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.
-
Just the one time I ate my husbands cooking.
The person below me loves roller coasters.
-
I was always afraid of them, but my brother worked at Disney World last year and when I visited him, he forced me to go on Rockin' Roller Coaster (and we got to skip the line and go through the back door ;D). It was actually really fun! I haven't been on one since that though.
The person below me would love to try skydiving or bungee jumping.

The person below me has saved on their car insurance by switching to Geico. :D
-
Funny - I have, but I'm selling my car, and predict I'll be saving even more money!
The person below me loves hot, fresh corn on the cob dripping with butter and a touch of salt.
-
That would be me. One big benefit of living in the Corn Belt.
The person below me carries dental floss with them at all times, in case of an encounter with corn on the cob.
-
I'm going to shock you here, but dental floss is virtually unheard of in France (I have some cos I lived in the UK, where I discovered that strange thing!), and we're none too big on corn on the cob, though I love it!
The person below me watches all the soccer matches of this World Cup.
-
No, but I keep track of the teams and scores... :)
The person below me owns a pair of cleats ... :)

The person below me lives their lives as though they could die tomorrow - or in a few minutes...
-
unfortunately no, i don't. i wish I had the courage to do that, but I'm working on it.
the person below me has a great view outside their window.
-
If that includes cows grazing, yes ;D! But then there's the fields - cow-free most of the time - and a great view of the sky...
The person below me wouldn't like to have cows for a view from their window
-
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
the person below me has watched Wizard of Oz accompanied with the Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon.
-
False, but a possiblity now! :laugh:

The person below me has plenty of gay friends ...
-
A few, and I love them (I really think I must have been a gay man in a previous life :))
The person below me has gay-friendly parents.
-
I don't really know how to answer that. I think my mom is somewhat indifferent, and think for my long-dead father, everyone/everything was just a joke waiting to be told.
The person below me loves BBM, but isn't really all that interested in actually going to the mountains of Wyoming.
-
False. One of my aunts lived in Sheridan and we visited often. :)

The person below me loves to hear birdsong. :)

Yes, I love birdsongs, especially when I can find the bird.

Congrats on more than 1000 Posts,
The person below me has been fog-bound somewhere, while travelling.
-
You bet I have: I lived in Scotland ;D (mind you, central Brittany's pretty foggy too).
The person below me knows how to change a flat tyre (yes, with a tire iron, since THAT is what it's meant for!).
-
I do. I had to change one on the way to a Christmas party once... on the side of the M5 jacking up the car in a cocktail dress and heels!
The person below me owns a blue heeler...
-
I think a dog like that owns you. I did have an Australian sheepdog mix, and she was the most intelligent animal you can imagine. Loved her 'till her last breath, but wouldn't have a dog again.
The person below me has to fight their cat for room at the computer.
-
Hahaha, no, but the person above me does. :P

the person below me knows how to sew on a sewing machine.
-
Yes, but knowing how and being good at it are very different things.

Not really. I have no capacity for retaining long stories. I have read and forgotten more books than I can remember! Pathetic!
The person below me has multiple e-mail accounts.
-
Actually, I do. 3 to be exact.
The person below me moved more than twice.
-
Oh I have moved quite a few times! :)
The persob below me has seen the Da Vinci code ..
-
Most of it. I missed a big chunk of the first hour because I discovered I had locked my husband out of the house and had to leave the theater, go let him in, and then go back. Consequently, I didn't like it much, but I can't totally blame the movie.
The person below me has seen several good movies since Brokeback Mountain.
-
Well, several movies ar home, but like 2 at the theatre since BBM ...
The person below me has an extensive movie collection at home...
-
Most of it. I missed a big chunk of the first hour because I discovered I had locked my husband out of the house and had to leave the theater, go let him in, and then go back.

Lucise, yes I would say so.
The person below me prefers to watch movies in their original versions rather than dubbed, whatever the original language.
-
True, and I'd rather watch a movie with subtitles than dubs, so I can hear the actor's voice and actual words. Also, my husband is learning Italian so we've been watching Fellini movies together.
The person below me likes movies from a different country than where you live.
-
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.
The person below me has a big cozy fireplace for cold winter nights.
-
True, it's necessary where I live! 8)
The person below me contributes to non-profit institutions. :)
-

I will be giving a presentation of all the award winners, and then present an award to the CEO who we have named the best communicator in the state!

-
False, I'm always on time, even early! 8)
The person below me likes onions in their fried potatos. :D
-
hrm, don't know if I've had what you're describing but it sounds yummy. I think of french fries, when you say "fried potatoes" but I suspect you would have written "french fries" if that's what you meant.
the person below me likes grilled onions on their burgers.
-
True, onions on anything, cooked, raw, batter dipped, love 'em! :laugh:
The person below me asks for extra pickles with their burgers. :)
-
I like extra pickles on my cheese sandwhiches...quit asking so many meat-based questions, folks!
;D
The person below me looks adorable in their avatar photo - warm and friendly and smiley.

Is this question reserved for Nipith? :D
No, I don't have my picture as my avatar. Heath/Ennis is my man :). But I like to think of myself as warm, friendly and smiley ;).
The person below me saw something today reminds them of BBM. (I did, saw an Ennis today on horseback after I saw one cowboy that looked like Jack about 3 month ago. Yehaaaw! My day suddenly seems much brighter.)
-
Is this question reserved for Nipith? :D
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.
So, I saw a guy walking down the street with the brassiest blond hair, and all I could think was "Gaylights"!
The person below me loves the smell of suntan lotion.

The person below me loves to play the Jumble puzzle in the newspaper.
False, I used to love playing the crossword puzzle for UCLA's Daily Bruin, but I'm not patient nor well rounded enough for the LATimes' let alone the NYTimes.

The person below me listens to NPR or Europe's equivalent to public radio.

Ther person below me thinks morning television shows are a total waste of space!
-
I used to like them as it was sort of a treat to watch them if I was out of school cos I was sick, but these days they just make my brain implode as they're so vacuous & just recycle the same old material.
( Below is related to what happened to me at lunchtime - it wasn't the best lunch! :( )
The person below me would carry on eating a sandwich they'd made even if they noticed tiny bits of mould on the bread, picking the mould off first of course

And ain't it yummy ... ;D
No, I happen to have slept more or less enough for once!

The person below me regularly stays up past midnight (possibly even here at BetterMost).
-
False, I need every minute of beauty sleep I can get! :laugh:
The person below me pressed the snooze button repeatedly this morning. :D

True. Though not very far, I'm afraid. I have plans to go to Orlando for three days next month to take Master Will to Epcot and maybe Animal Kingdom up there with some friends from Ohio. A lot of vacation time for this year got chewed up by Will being sick and having to stay home from school while my husband was out of town. Companies have that pesky habit of lumping your sick time in with your vacation time these days...

The person below me hates net meetings, would rather have discussion face to face.

And I can't wait until our little Euro meeting goes ahead in September. But yes this week I have realised how much I love having discussions with people, about everything and playing of them to create an atmoshpere. Plus cause we were in Wales there are alot of quiet places to sit and have private talks, me and my friend Joanna had a lot of these about certain things and shared alot of secrets, but we both agreed that "What is said on the mountain stays on the mountain" I don't know where I got this idea from. ::)

It's wonderful.

The person below me has had a tooth knocked out. :)
-
Not out, but loose enough that I had to have it capped when I was in my early twenties. It's my left top front one, and it got knocked loose when a girl friend and I were having a happy tussle (we were seven) one summer evening. Actually, we were attempting to imitate the World Wrestling Championships. I ended up bloodying her nose and she ended up damn near knocking my tooth out. So that was the first and last time we ever did that.

The person below has offered a ride to a hitchhiker.
-
Never. Never would, either.
The person below me gives money to the homeless.
-
True. If they are close and asking for money.
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.
-
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 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.
The person below me loves to wear a particular scent/fragrance.
Is the person above me going to think less of me if I don't wear any scent/fragrance?

The person below me makes a wish when they see a shooting star.
-
Is the person above me going to think less of me since I have no idea who that is?
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.

The person below me has just started learning (or decided to learn) a foreign language.
-
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
The person below me likes leather... :P
-
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).
-
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
-
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.
-
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 am! I flunked German at school and am having a go at learning it from a great set of Michel Thomas "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
Hey, saucy. Almost perfect! ("kann" is written with "k", not "c"). So you can help me with the translation for my friend at our Euro Brokie Brunch :)
The person below me commutes more than four two hours a day for work.
-
I have been all year for a course / work. NEVER EVER again!
Hey, saucy. Almost perfect! ("kann" is written with "k", not "c"). So you can help me with the translation for my friend at our Euro Brokie Brunch :)
Yikes! I'll have a go. but can't guarantee the accuracy... especially after a few drinks! :P
The person below me loves to salsa...
-
True, I can't follow too well, but I love the Latino beats! :D
The person below me can make good salsa dip from scratch. :)
-
The person below you likes to eat salsa, but as for dancing? Well - I'll leave that to Jack and LaShawn.
Oooops - double post. So I will leave my answer and say that I'd like to make a salsa from scratch, but haven't yet.
The person below me has vibrant colors running through their chakras, which then only just found out about!!!
-
I have to google to see what is a chakras, so no.
The person below me has planned a little trip for the long weekend.
-
False. Having friends over tonight, and having some neighbors over tomorrow for some barbeque and what-not. 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.
-
True. There are drought conditions here right now so I'm sure the police will be busy this weekend with individual's illegal displays. ::)
The person below me recycles everything possible. :)
-
Sadly, no. I would if I put more time and thought into it, but as of now, no. :-\
The person below me cannot swim.
-
I can too!
The person below me likes to listen to the radio because that way they hear new music all the time.
-
I like to listen to the radio during my daily commute, but I normally listen to NPR, not new music.
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.)
-
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
-
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:
The person below me hates to have pictures taken of them.
-
False! I love to laugh and I have dimples, so in this age of digital cameras, one always has to be prepared! :laugh:
The person below me loves pink lemonade. :D
-
hrm, lemonade by itself is just what ever to me. but a really good summer cocktail is crushed ice, with half lemonade, half beer. mmmm.
the person below me is enjoying the summer evening breeze.
-
Uh... we only have transparent lemonade round my end :D
OOps, double post... Well I enjoyed the summer evening heat, but no breeze tonight!
The person below me does not enjoy gardening in any form.
-
I like gardening sometimes, maybe planting food and stuff to eat. :laugh:
The person below me loves living near the city.
-
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.
-
Tru dat! The person below you is working on re-balancing her chi this weekend!
The person below me is busy putting on a play.
-
No, but I wish I was :(
Tru dat!
Woa there Celeste (goodness, I hope I've used the right name!), I had a bit of deja-vu there! There used to be a 'friendly' troll called fish_turd on IMdb who used that phrase!
The person below me has a favourite smell (please specify)...
-
Fresh cut grass.. may sound corny, but true.
The person below lives near an ocean.
-
Nope, I'm in the good ol' midwest.
The person below me hates having nothing to do for long periods of time.
-
Nope, I'm in the good ol' midwest.
The person below me hates having nothing to do for long periods of time.
No way......I never have nothing to do.....here i am here today, supposed to be packing up boxes because we are moving house in 10 days times......and im sitting here reading and writing posts on this board, like i have been doing every day....

Oh well....let me see what else is new on the board.... :-\ ::) ??? ???
-
Oh shit.....i forgot something (from previous post).......
I need to put something else down here for the person below me......
The person below me, loves moving house
-
The only moving I've done since I've been old enough to talk is moving into my dorm roon, which was NOT fun.
The person below me is going away for a week, probably with no computer access. :'(
-
not yet, I'm not. In Auguest I'll be on a trip to Thailand, but until then, I'll still be in LA, internet access and all.
the person below me loves Shakespeare.
-
If he was referring to Ennis and Jack when he said "To be or not to be, that is the question"............
..........then he is ok........
Just thought, maybe that could be a new thread, to quote Shakespeare where it is relevant to Brokeback Mountain....
The person below me, would like a thread like i just mentioned above
-
True, new things are always enchanting! :)
The person below me was changing diapers last night. :D
-
True, I did babysit for two hours last night. :D
The person below me owns turquoise jewelry. :)
-
True! Bought these earrings in Scotland when I lived there, 16 years ago, unique model, and still pristine...
The person below me loves wearing plenty of jewellery.
-
True, not quite as gaudy as Lureen's, but things that sparkle grandly are my weakness. 8)
The person below me adored their kindergarten teacher. ;)
-
I cannot remember any of my teachers before primary :-\
The person below me wishes they were still at school.
-
True! Always appreciate the things more when you can't have them. Is this human nature?
When driving in summer, the person prefers to have the windows down if it's not on highway than turn on the AC.
-
Just thought, maybe that could be a new thread, to quote Shakespeare where it is relevant to Brokeback Mountain....
or go scene by scene and replace the dialogue with Shakespearian lines! that would be so much fun. You should start it katie.
When driving in summer, the person prefers to have the windows down if it's not on highway than turn on the AC.
not during the day. it's scorching in LA during the day. but starting around 6pm, the climate here is heaven. I love driving with open windows during summer evenings.
The person below me keeps his/her refrigerator fully stocked at all times.
-
Nope, sometimes I'll forget to go to the grocery store and end up with an empty fridge.
The person below me owns a reptile.
-
Nope, just a dog and a cat.
The person below me hates being stuck behind slow drivers.
-
True, but my vehicle is intimidating and they move out of the way quickly! :laugh:
The person below me went to the car wash today. :)
-
I would but sadly it's raining over here, so no need to.
The person below me has red hair.
-
True, and it's natural! 8)
The person below me uses prescription sunglasses. 8)
-
False, but I'll look into that! :D
The person below me loves to play Scrabble. :)
-
True, but it has to be the board game. The hand held game cheats while scoring! :laugh:
The person below me likes to play Monopoly. :)
-
oh god! it's been so long since I've played, but yes I loved playing monopoly. now i don't know anyone that does.
the person below me has paid over $250 (or equivalent) for a pair of shoes. (and was it worth it?)
-
Not yet but I am shoe crazy. 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.
The person below is more of a converse person than a Vans person.(I am sure you know what they are, but just smile and nod if you don't)
-
:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: .......
Smiling and nodding endlessly. Please explain.
The person below me knows what it means to be more of a converse person than a Vans person and will explain it to me.
-
Converse and Vans are both types of shoes. My friend Jonny likes Vans more than converse and I like converse more than Vans shoes. 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.
Vans:

Converse:

(I have much prettier ones than these, I just can't find a picture of them!)
The person below me is going to miss alot of people this week!
-
Very true, Becky!
I'm on school holidays this week and being a teacher, I am very attached to my little ones. I'm actually very glad to have run into a few of them over the break and gotten my fix of little cuddles!
The person below me has paid more than $100 for a pair of sunglasses.
-
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 learning more about themselves that they knew they ever could, and it's scary and wonderful all at the same time.
-
Yes, true. Scary? Yes. Wonderful? It will be, in time. I have to hold onto that.
I'm new to this game and haven't read through all 88 pages of it, so forgive me if this has been said:
The person below me said "I love you" to someone today.
-
Welcome to the game Mandy!
I was going to, and didn't. Not the right time. I was wrong, but it's not too late ;)
The person below me sleeps till after 12 noon on their days off.
-
False. The only time I've slept 'til noon (and then it wasn't really sleeping but rolling around in agony) was that time I drank *way* too much white wine at a friend's Christmas party the night before.
The person below me woke up to the sound of thunder and rain (and loved it) this morning.
-
I wish! Wanna know what sound I woke up to this morning? Make sure you ain't eatin': to the sound of my daughter howling 'cos she'd stepped into cat pooh in the living room. Her father had forgotten to either put the cat outside, or take its "cat toilet" inside >:(
The person below me has 3 kids or more.
-
False. Just one. And for a variety of reasons I won't go into here, one is the right number for us. (Thank goodness he seems to have no interest whatsoever in having a little brother or sister - that would tear me up.)
The person below me has wind-surfed.
-
Nope.. I reckon I would throw up if I did something like that... Might get the stomach to try it one day but not today! ;D
The person below me thinks the guy in the new Superman film is stunningly gorgeous... *sigh* :-*
-
False. He's handsome, no doubt. But a little too flawless, if that makes any sense - it's like there's no soul behind that face plate. Haven't seen the movie yet - maybe I'd change my mind if I did.
The person below me can't drink coffee black.
-
I can too. I can drink it black or most any way that it gets served. But if I drink it black I liked it diluted with a bit of cool water to cut the bitterness and make it less hot.
The person below me spends too much money at Starbucks on...coffee, tea, whatever else.
-
nah. I actually don't go to Starbucks nor Coffee Beans all that often. I like them just fine, but I usually will buy from local mom-n-pops if I can. I believe in entrepreneurship and will encourage it with my bucks.
the person below me owns more than 5 pairs of sunglasses.
-
Oh, easily. I seem to collect those. Along with (cheap) hand bags, belts, and shampoo.
The person below me is currently using Suave ("Smoother," in my case) shampoo.
-
False. I just use regular Dove shampoo at the moment.
The person below me is having chicken for supper tonight.
-
No, vegetarian here!
The person below me has met fellow Bettermostians in person.
-
False. Not yet, but soon! ;)
*grumbles about living so far away*
The person below me is about to make a huge change in their life.
-
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.
-
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. :)
-
no, not excited but i doon't live in america so i don't know mcuh about it :-\ i love these cowboy heads :)
the person below me has been confused about their sexuality
-
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.
-
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
-
I've been told that, once, but usually people say that about my upperface (eyes, eyelashes, eyebrows haha)
The person below me spends more time on the internet then they would like to.
-
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!
-
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.
-
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?)
the person below me wears contact lenses.
(btw - Welcome to the board dannyboy.)
-
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.
-
Likely only on-line....
The person below me has friends around the world.
-
well, I went and saw The Devil Wears Prada with friends on Saturday.
Did ya like it? That's what I'm gonna go see tonight. :)
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.
-
True, and I also have to work tomorrow! :(
The person below me likes BBQ potato chips. :D
-
Did ya like it? That's what I'm gonna go see tonight. :)
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.
The person below me likes BBQ potato chips. :D
I like most kinds of chips. I tried Hawaiian style BBQ chips the other day though, it was a bit too sweet.
the person below me sleeps naked.
-
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.
-
(btw - Welcome to the board dannyboy.)
thanks starboardlight (although i think i've read your real name is Nipith?? am i right? :-\ )
i don't sleep naked. can't do it. always boxers or something and it sometimes gets so hot here that i dont' always wear a shirt either
the person below me can put their feet behind their head
-
Actually yes I can! ;D *preen*
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 prefers big cities to small towns.
-
There's NO doubt about that!
The person below me has visited a volcano area (still active).
-
nope..
haven't been anywhere really :( but i hope to some day, especially after seeing the incredibles.. :P
the person below me loves waterslides
-
They terrify me... but, yes!
The person below me wishes someone in power in their country would shut the hell up...
-
I think I actually wish instead they would hve something worht saying.
The person below me is mostly warm most of the time.
-
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.
-
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.
and Shayne, from what I know about you, I imagine that you are warm most of the time. I bet you'd make a great cuddle buddy. ;)
thanks starboardlight (although i think i've read your real name is Nipith?? am i right? :-\ )
yes, dannyboy, folks here call me Nipith.
the person below me owns an iPod (any model, any generation).
-
True, but I always forget to lug it along! :laugh:
The person below me has special BBQ cooking utensils that will be put to use today. :)
-
Yes, I love my iPod. Only problem, listening songs on my iPod is interfering with listening to NPR on my daily commute. :)
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.
-
False. I don't swim, besides, I'm at work today. :(
The person below me loves potato salad. :)
-
True, but it has to be the mayo variety, not the mustard type! 8)
The person below me likes seasoned french fries. :D
-
I do (I'm as French as the fries), but it's my German boyfriend who got me to try them seasoned!
The person below me now calls those fries "freedom fries" :P
-
False. That type of sweeping generalization makes me crazy! :D
The person below me has ridden the new version of "Pirates of the Caribbean" at a Disney resort. ;D
-
Yes, I love my iPod. Only problem, listening songs on my iPod is interfering with listening to NPR on my daily commute. :)
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.
The person below me has ridden the new version of "Pirates of the Caribbean" at a Disney resort. ;D
False. I haven't been to a Disney Resort in years.
The person below me loves eating tacos at a catering truck.
-
and Shayne, from what I know about you, I imagine that you are warm most of the time. I bet you'd make a great cuddle buddy
I LOVE cuddles!! ;D Bring them ON I say! :D
And false to the tacos.. I only braved them once in my life and that was at the mercy of a friend who had the misfortune to cook meat that was slightly past its use-by date and promptly put me off for LIFE... :-X
The person below me can explain why its 3:47am here in Brisbane and I'm STILL on this board?!?!?!?!?
-
For the same reason I was on it until 3.30 this morning! It's a sickness Sheyne... and there ain't no cure!
The person below me is planning to watch BBM tonight...
-
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.
The person below me can explain why its 3:47am here in Brisbane and I'm STILL on this board?!?!?!?!?
Because we are too damn special, and you just can't quit us. ;D And I guess it's also because that you are on break so you don't have to get up early in the morning.
Ok, I am late again.
The person below me is planning to watch BBM tonight...
Nope, not tonight. Just saw it again a few days ago. Tonight will be Glory Road.
The person below me doesn't quite get all the significance of launching the space shuttle this year , but is very excited nonetheless.
-
False. My uncle interned at NASA and still keeps in touch with several colleagues there and the consensus is that it's a frightening thought that something else could go wrong. ???
The person below me has led a parade. :D
-
Nope, never led a parade, just been in one ... ;)
I'll ask again, the person below me has 'wrang it out' today ... (laundry counts too ;D )
-
Laundry, yes. Other than that... I couldn't possibly comment! :laugh:
The person below me should be doing something else right now (please specify)...
-
True, since I'm at work today, however, without mail or banking services available, I'm playing! :laugh:
The person below me is wearing something red, white and blue! 8)
-
True! I have shoes and socks for every occasion! :laugh:
The person below me hosted a holiday luncheon today. :)
-
Nope, we don't celebrate it here, obviously, but I would have loved to, if I wasn't at work.
The person below me is willing to humour me and ask me the Question:"What do you do, Becky?" ;D
-
What do you do Becky?
the person below me is going tell me what Becky does.
-
I don't know what Becky does other than go to school....
The person below me does know what Becky does.
-
False. I thought our darling Becky was too young to be employed! :D
The person below me may hazard a guess about Becky's job! :)
-
Sorry I went in the shower and missed my que!
"Well earlier today I was castratin' cats!"
Sorry I have been waiting to say that to someone who would get it all day! 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.
The person below me wanted to be a vet when they were younger.
-
True. I wanted to be a vet, and then I realized I would have to do things like give shots, perform surgeries, and put animals down. I knew I couldn't do any of that. So I just love my kitty a lot.
The person below me walks fast.
-
Yup, I sure do. I got long legs as well so I get around the place... 'Cept when I'm nearly permanently planted in front of this computer.. :-\
The person below me has a real crush on somebody else on this board.
-
The person below me has a real crush on somebody else on this board.
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
The person below me is going to meet a fellow Brokie in person soon.
p.s. You are all welcome to answer Sheyne’s question again. I am just trying to save everyone the embarrassment here. ;D
-
False. I have met Eleven BetterMost-ians already!!! ;D
Meryl
Newyearsday-Jenny
Pipedream-Anke

The person below me wants to go skydiving!
-
Not even if the plane was on fire.
The person below me has an interesting job.
-
I do consider my job interesting. I'm a freelance graphic designer, which isn't all that unique. I do find that it challenges me often.
the person below me loves crossword puzzles.
-
No, I'm not much of a crossword puzzle lover. I used to like them but not much anymore sadly :-\
The person below me has a fondness for antiques.
-
Depends really on antique what? Antique cars? No. Antique furniture? Yes. I think there is a beauty and a "vibe" about old furniture. 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:
The person below me has cried over something wonderful in the last 5 days.
-
Well, I watched BBM for the first time in 6 weeks (gasp!) last night. I was okay until Jack says the "Sometimes I miss you so much..." line and the floodgates opened. Needless to say my eyes are now puffy slits... plus I was watching it in bed with my laptop next to me, so somehow it seemed even more intimate with the boys :'( (I know that's not the kinda thing you meant, but...)
The person below me is having / going to a party this weekend...
-
False. No party this weekend. But it'll be the first weekend in 4 or 5 weeks that is not fully booked. And I will enjoy this fact very much, don't need no party right now.
The person below me is frightened of at least one animal.
-
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.
The person below me is fighting a cold today.

-
Nope. 11. I did hate it, though. I liked the kid, but not how he kissed. Thought he knew what he was doing because he was a little bit "older" (13 - ha). He didn't.
Oops - double post. No, I don't grind 'em myself unless it's a special occasion - too lazy. I buy the pre-ground stuff.

-
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.
-
Nope, mostly in my car. I keep forgetting to bring the headset with me. Sometimes I do need to shut the noise out, like when there are dogs running around in the office. ::)
The person below me has a pen pal when he/she was in grade school that he/she has never met in person.
-
Yes I did, several actually: one in Germany, one in Ireland... and one in India; a lovely boy I wish I'd kept in touch with! 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!

The person below me prefers tea to coffee.
-
I am slowly beginning to enjoy tea as much as coffee, but I still crave coffee at least twice a day!

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

And then I'm flying to Tasmania in December to see some of my own country and show my son some of the most beautiful parts of this amazing country I live in. And tour the chocolate factory while I'm there. ;D ;D

-
you knew I'd be answering did you? LA is warm most of the year. no snow. however, during the winter the temperature can dip into the 30's and 40's, which no one would call warm. SoCal is part of the deserts after all.

The person below me has a phobia.
-
True. I'm allergic to shrimps. And I used to love them so much :( My das made the best prawn cocktail ever, hmmm.
you knew I'd be answering did you?
No, I didn't. I thought more of Australia, cause I thought all US people would still be sleeping :)
But maybe it was still Wednesday evening for you?
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

-
nope. zoos are really my thing.
the person below me has been a docent at a museum.

The only spectator sport the person below me likes is people watching.
-
False ... soccer first!
The person below me will steal a pair of Heath's underwear if they had a chance ... :laugh:

Ok, if you say so ::). Actually as much as I adore Heath, I am not an underwear person. I would much prefer his shirt.
The person below me has seen more than 5 of Ang Lee’s films.
-
False, I've only seen three of them! :o

The person below me has penciled in another (DVD) viewing of BBM for this weekend.
-
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.
-
Nope, no nap unless it's weekend, then maybe.
The person below me does not follow any recipes when cooking.
-
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.
-
False, can't cook, wont cook. The only things I cook are pasta, rice and salad! ;D

False; we had Mexican for lunch. It's Chinese for dinner tonight! :D
The person below me has ridden the trolley in San Francisco. ;)

The person below me drinks is very good and drinks 2 litres of water a day...
-
Sorry! Double post! No never been to San Fran, but I'd love to :D
So does the person below drink 2 litres?
-
The person below me has ridden the trolley in San Francisco. ;)
True and cable car too!
So does the person below drink 2 litres?
No I don't. I know I should drink more water, but I don't. :-\
The person below me has tasted Durian (the King of Fruits) and likes the taste. :P

False. Don't know what that is. Sounds yummy, though. ;)
The person below me really should eat more vegetables.

(http://www.ecst.csuchico.edu/~durian/img/durian.jpg)
(http://www.nksd.wednet.edu/schools/poulsboelem/library/images/durian.jpg)
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.
The person below me really should eat more vegetables.
True! I don't like salad, so that's the problem.
The person below me sometimes works at home when they should be enjoy the time with their family.
-
Oh hell yes. BetterMost is work, isn't it? :D
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.
-
Yes, roaches are one of my least favorite things ever. They just freak me out.
The person below me's singing voice gets lower late at night. (Does that happen to anyone else?)
-
False. I can't quite hit the high Queen of the Night note, but my voice gets higher in the evening. ;)
The person below me loves figs. :D
-
True, I love anything tropical! :D
The person below me has eaten and sipped from a fresh coconut right off the tree. :)
-
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.
-
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.
-
No ma'am. Not pizza

The person below me uses a backpack instead of a handbag/himbag. :D
-
False; I'm still catching up on lost sleep from late nights! ;)
The person below me uses a backpack instead of a handbag/himbag. :D
false, no bags of any kind, unless I'm going to the gym. I got a duffle back that I sling across the left shoulder. It hangs on my back like a backpack though.

-
Sorry - no tatts.
The person below me is addicted to FanFic.

I'm really not a big fan of pie in general, but I guess a good, buttery flaky pie crust would be good.
The person below me loves to eat out.
-
True. Do it too much.
The person below me has clothes on..
-
Of course I have cloth on, it's only 9:30pm here. What were you thinking ;)

True, but gosh that was a long time ago when I was still in high school with my Sony walkman.

No, I wouldn't say so. I've had my fair share of bad days, but i consider my self lucky on the whole, and have decided never to consider a bad day just "bad". Just a day I can learn from.
The person below me is a movie buff.
-
Not so much, I LOVE films and people who know me would probably describe me as one, but don't really see it. Although I will always pic the film catagory in general knowledge quizes: Does that make me a film buff? ??? ;D
The person below me wants to see my acting debut! Hahahaha
(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xdT9hPOT8P0 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xdT9hPOT8P0) It's not bad for a aload of my friends messing about and a couple of hours on a Sunday!)

Becky, I've been trying to find out the name of that piece of music in your little film (the second one). Can you give me the reference (composer and title)? THANKS :)
The person below me likes the sound of harmonica (now. Even flattened).
-
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

Yes I was, but not as sad as you are, Isabelle. I was really sad for Zidane. :(
The person below me has experienced culture shock. (Care to give a few examples?)
-
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.
-
Nice story, star!
No, I have the least mathematical mind on earth, I think!
The person below me was/is good at maths in school.

No, but this week I made our first cherry pie with my mom and sister from our cherry tree in the backyard. We all picked the cherries, my sister pitted then, my mom made the filling, and I did the lattice top. It was sour as heck! But we gamely ate it. :)
The person below me knows how to gracefully let go of possessions that no longer serve. (Some examples?)
-
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 felt an intense urge to sit down and watch Brokeback today, even if they didn't end up doing it.
-
True! I'm going to purchase another DVD for lunch and watch it on my laptop at this conference. I'm assigned to the back row anyway! ;)
The person below me loves the Pink Panther. :D
-
I have seen the cartoons in years. I did love it when i was a child though. I also loved the Pink Panther movies with Seller. The latest with Martin just didn't do it for me.

-
not too much desert, just too much food in general. my brother took me to an Indian buffet. too much chicken korma, too much vindalu, too much naan, and way way too much samosas. but they were yummy. I did manage to get a little jaamun for desert but not much since I was so stuffed.
the person below me still owns a pair of roller skates.
-
False, I don’t know how to roller skates.
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.

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?)

The person below me likes sitting in the back row. :laugh:
-
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 knows someone that snorts like Davey Jones in Dead Man's Chest. :laugh:
-
The person below me wishes they had more to do. (I'm probably alone on that one at the moment, until school starts again.)
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.
The person below me knows someone that snorts like Davey Jones in Dead Man's Chest. :laugh:
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. ::)
The person below me isn't feeling very well today. :(

The person below me never leaves the house with wet hair.
-
True! Lord, ice cream got me. Got me in the kitchen, got me in the living room. Bad bad! And cake got me at a friend's house, and a lemon bar got me today at work. (You like me innocent-victim mentality?)
BTW I broke my finger on a kid named Sebastian's head, while I was diving into the deep end playing "sharks and minnows." Couldn't swim on the team for the rest of the summer.
The person below me considers orange a favorite color.
-
The person below me never leaves the house with wet hair.
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
The person below me considers orange a favorite color.
False, I am more of a blue,yellow, pink, cream and pastel colour person.
The person below me cries at the Lion King(Also give details to any other disney fims you cry at).
-
I don't usually really cry at movies, but I often get teary. I haven't seen Lion King in years, but I'm sure there were a few tears. I just saw Monsters Inc. again the other day, and there were tears. I'm pretty much a big sap and get tears at everything. :'( ;D
(I orange a favorite color!)
The person below me is a big sap like me! ;D
-
Hell yes, and at most Disney films too! Well, at least that was true when my kids were very young. Especially Robin Hood. Now I can take it!
Think I'll be ok next month when I take them to Euro Disneyland? ::)
Ok, sorry about the double post but... What on earth is a sap, please?
The hero of the person below me as a child was Robin Hood (mine was :))
-
The person below me is a big sap like me! ;D
Ok, I think I get it, and yes I am!
-
Nope, not that I remember. 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.
The person below me is listening to one of their favourite songs as you type(please elaborate)
-
Nope, not at the moment. :)
The person below me diligently followed the World Cup!

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.
-
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.

True.
The person below me has seen the new Pirates of the Caribbean..

-
True, just like our beloved Capt. Jack! :laugh:
The person below me still has all their grandparents. :)
-
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.
-
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.
-
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).

-
True, and it's always interesting and informative! ;)

False. Definately not my cup of tea. Not much interest and zero talent.

-
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.
-
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

NE-VER. Not even single bubble gum!
The person below me went to the beach today.

i wish. it's such a beautiful day, and i have to work.
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.)
-
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.
-
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.)
-
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. :)
-
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.
-
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!).

False, sorry to spoil your good question Celeste with a bad answer but I am useless, I know it and I am not afraid to tell anyone who asks. So to conclued I am useless and have no purpose, god I feel great! ;D
The person below me has found out some quite important news today.(share if you wish)
-
Nope. No important news other than that's already on CNN.
The person below me had a lousy day today. (Let’s hope someone say false).
-
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
-
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!!!!
-
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).
-
ha ha ha. I have. Roommates are just too weird sometimes. He didn't even bother locking the doors.
the person below has had someone walk in on their "self-tooting" session.
-
False, but I was caught in flagrante delicto when kids playing baseball broke a window and we couldn't get off the floor fast enough before they were peering inside. He was mortified, but I find most things funny! :laugh:

The person below me has been snorkeling. :)
-
True, and I also believe medicinal cures will be discovered in the ocean! 8)
The person below me loves to stir fry their food. :D
-
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.
-
yes, true. I am concerned.
the person below me sometimes fantasize about having super hero power (and tell us which power it is, and what's it used for).
-
True, I'd like to push time backward a la Superman. This would give us the opportunity to make different choices, especially with health related issues. :)
The person below me loves baked macaroni and cheese. :P
-
Really not, sorry!
The person below me is a day-dreamer.
-
yes, i admit i daydream. without a boss to keep me focus, I can waste a whole day, dreaming.
the person below me keeps a dream journal.
-
No. I did at one point, but don't now. Maybe I need to start doing that again...

-
That's if they live too far away to meet (along with E-mails)! I usually use the phone to say "hey, when are we eating together?".
The person below me has woken up crying from a dream.
-
Oh yes......only recently, i was dreaming of my sister who died 35yrs ago, aged 22, and she was disappearing and I was trying to reach out to her to grab her....i woke up yelling out to her, and crying.......
the person below me has a close relative they really cant stand
-
Oh yes! But then, who hasn't? ;D

The person below me loves sweet coleslaw. ;D
-
True! I like KFC's version and sometimes stop just for coleslaw and biscuits! 8)
The person below me likes KFCs crispy chicken. :D
-
I never tried it, but since I don't like chicken in general, it's probably false :-\
The person below me has a book/CD/DVD which they would never loan out. BBM items don't count ;D
-
I don't know ... the first thing that came to mind was my DVD of the movie Maurice..so I'll stick with that answer :)
The person below me sent me a PM yesterday or got a PM from me. :P

The person below me knew July 14th was the national French holiday.
-
True! I'm celebrating by making a North-African-inspired curry chicken salad and eating it and grilled vegetables with friends. So... a thin connection to France there. We may eat a baguette as well, but our wine will be from New Zealand.
The person below me has grilled in the morning, in the backyard, in pajamas.
-
Somewhat true. It wasn't my backyard, we were camping and I grilled bacon and eggs ... very complicated *lol* and yes, I was in my PJ's.
The person below is going away for the weekend.
-
I am going away next weekend, but will be here this weekend. I'm liking having my weekends at home.
The person below me has curly, firzzy hair today due to all the humidity.
-
My hair is curly, yes, but not because of the humidity! :P
The person below me has been feeling restless all day and looks forward to a quiet evening with their BBM dvd, a nice glass of wine, and absolutely no interruptions... ;)
(just me? that's ok too..lol)
-
"The person below me has been feeling restless all day and looks forward to a quiet evening with their BBM dvd, a nice glass of wine, and absolutely no interruptions..."
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.
-
Yes, Celeste, as you know...
And Milli, YES to you too! Haven't watched BBM for weeks (can hardly believe how long it's been).

Just turning this computer off and going to sit in front of my darlings... :D
The person below me loves to just watch the stars in the sky at night.

I have just put my daughter to bed (talk of a hectic day), her father's away till tomorrow, and I have a bit of wine left... Just turning this computer off and going to sit in front of my darlings... :D
Amusez-vous ma chère! :)
Yap, I like watching the stars, doesn't happen much though ... :-\

True, it's his birthday, a Bastille baby! His parents were along also, but we had margaritas just the same! ;)
The person below me likes salt on their margarita glasses. :)
-
False; I don't care for extra salt on anything! ;)
The person below me likes watermelon margaritas. :)
-

The person below me has heard of Max Raabe.
-
YES! He is in the "performance" thread and sings a song about mules :D
The person below me can explain what Bastille day is all about (date and names too, please!). 1 or 2 sentences should do the trick.
-
Okay, from what I remember, Bastille was a prison, circa 1700's in France. One day the citizens stormed the prison, where people were sent who diagreed with the King? Queen? I believe it started the French revolution. Am I close?
The person below me loves Global History.
-
True. Much more so than the history of any particular country or creed, though I find those interesting.
The person below me has been cruel to be kind.
-
Yap - sometimes, there is no other way but to tell the absolute truth and spare no feelings whatsoever. :)

Nope, can't keep them alive.
The person below me uses a laptop computer instead of a desktop.
-
Nope, I use a desktop. :)

-
Yes I can, and it is very interesting......its pretty easy here in aussie, cause we only settled here first in 1784........
The person below me plays songs on their computer while reading bettermost threads........
(I do)
-
False.
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).
-
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?)
-
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.
Not to me, Isabelle! 0- here... ;)
The person below me has been inside a prison (visiting or other. Care to describe the experience?)
Well, I've visited a historical prison: the Tower of London. Does that count? :)
The person below me has once commited a petty crime.
-
Not to me, Isabelle! 0- here... ;)
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.
-
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.
-
False. I always have the current issues of People, EW and Time in my guest bathroom. ;)
The person below me dislikes one-ply bathroom tissue. :laugh:
-
True, who doesn't? I always remember my Grampa howling "I hate this one-ply sh*t!" :laugh:
The person below me likes those powders that turn bottled water into lemonade, tea or punch. ;)

The person below me is enjoying fresh cherries now that they're in season. :D
-
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.
-
Nope, I don't really do coffee. :)
The person below me is religious.
-
I don't think so. My life is completely shaped by matters of the soul and G*d, but I can't begin to think of myself as religious. I think of myself as someone with a certain understanding and experience instead of a belief system.
The person below me is religious....
-
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! :)
-
True, although respect this: it's my paycheck. If I weren't an employee, I'd definitely say goodbye for a while.
The person below me was terrorized in childhood by a resentful older sibling.
-
False. Fortunately we get along wonderfully until this day. ;)
The person below me listens to XM satellite radio. :)
-
Nope, sorry.
The person below me brushes their teeth more than twice a day.
-
False! Two is a good day for me.
The person below me likes rollercoasters and waterslides.
-
Love the roller coaster, but the last time I went on one,I was sick...for a week, and realized that i aint a kid anymore......
the person below me likes gravy on their meat...
-
mmm, gravy on meat.
the person below me has had a blast making a fool of him/herself singing karaoke.
-
OMG No, not on your f'in life! . I'm not shy, but I would never ever do this.
Nipith:
Just read on another thread about your holidays. You'll be leaving the exact day when I'll be back, so I want to wish you a good time now: Have a wonderful and exciting trip! Enjoy every minute of it, stay safe and report us when you'll be back.
The person below me has a double swing in their garden/backyard, just like the one Ennis's girls had (we do, and it's squeaking right now, needs some oil).
-
Yes!
The person below me is scared of dogs (the big ones especially)
-
Not scared of dogs. If I love dogs at all, it's the big, tough sort of working-dog dogs. But I do definitely prefer them to be outside.
The person below me starts every day with meditation/silence/contemplation.
-
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.
-
Sometimes. I am quite sinical about the whole thing thought so I haven't quite decided what I think yet.
The person below me has been to a local event today...and enjoyed it!
-
Not yet, but later today. We have free concerts in a park in town, and a bunch of my friends are in that band. Although I might not go if it stays this hot! :P
The person below me never buys new cars, only used.
-
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!
The person below me is a touch-typer. (If that's the term for speedily typing by feel, using home row etc.)
-
Nipith:
Just read on another thread about your holidays. You'll be leaving the exact day when I'll be back, so I want to wish you a good time now: Have a wonderful and exciting trip! Enjoy every minute of it, stay safe and report us when you'll be back.
thank you so much. I definitely will have a great time. I must have missed your post, but where will you be? and when are you leaving?
The person below me is a touch-typer. (If that's the term for speedily typing by feel, using home row etc.)
If I understand you correctly, I am a "touch-typer". I actually had to take typing, my freshman year in highschool, so I learned to type the "proper" way, using "asdfjkl;" as home keys and all that.
the person below me would has dreams of diving the great reef in Australia one day.
-
Well I have been one of the lucky ones, and dived in the great barrier reef of northern Australia......it was more beautiful than pictures depict, and I felt like I was in another world....so peaceful and beautiful...
the person below me would like to fly in a helicopter over niagra falls
-
yes, another one on my list of things to do in this life time.
the person below me struggled to get out of bed this morning. ugh! Monday!
-
TRUE! After working and getting to work at 9 my 7:00 waking this morning came as a giant shock.
The person below me has done some form of crazy dance today. ;D
-
Not exactly, but on good days, when I play my discman as I am leaving the subway, I feel like i could be in some broadway production as I go thru the turnstiles and up the stairs...I feel like breaking into a dance that is! (Not that my job is any dance-inducing joy to do!)
The person below me has dreams where they fly.
-
I used to have them all the time when I was little. They were great! I don't have them any more though, more's the pity :(
The person below me had to bite their tongue with a work colleague / family member today...
-
Nope, I tend to say everything that pops into my head, that is sometimes not the most useful thing because I get called "BLONDE!" for saying things that make no sense but it always lets people know what I am thinking: good or bad ;D
The person below me can't wait for an event that is coming soon(to a theatre near you!)
-
No. I tend to be terribly oblivious to events around me. I live in this wonderful metropolitan city surrounded by great stuff happening everywhere, and never pay any attention to any of it. It's a shame how much is wasted on me...
The person below me has had someone read their astrological chart.
-
No I haven't, but I would like to. I think it would be interesting.
The person below me is hating all this hot weather (if you're having it too, of course).
-
Nope, I am LOVING it!
The person below me would love to try living in Canada for a while, but hesitates because of the brutally cold winters there.
-
HA! I live in Chicago, home of the brutally cold windy and very long winters. Canada don't scare me! But no - I think I'm supposed to be living here. Never thought of moving to Canada, or anywhere else for that matter.
The person below me keeps their nails well manicured.
-
I have awful shaped nails, and they just keep on growing.....i tried to bite them once, but nearly choked on a bit of nail that got caught in my throat....so now i just get the clippers out and clip them.....
the person below me likes seafood
-
Yes! Frutti di Mare! Yum, yum, yum!
The person below me is on a diet. :P
-
If by diet you mean The National Diet of Japan, as in Japan's legislature, which consists of two houses: the House of Representatives and the House of Councillors, then no. 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 always votes in elections.
-
I do now, but I must admit that I boycotted a few when I was younger and... err... an anarchist.
The person below me has thought of being a candidate in local elections.
-
Hahahaha... hell no, I'd be rubbish in politics - not a good enough bullshitter :laugh:
The person below me shops with the heart rather than the head...
-
yes, I know that "impulse purchases" very well. but I love it.
the person below me paints his/her toe nails.
-
Every once in a while, and usually something very pale. I like white nail polish.
The person below me is really going to miss playing with Nipith for the three weeks during which he'll be gone.
:'( :'( :'(
-
Who wouldn't? Have a great time! :)
(Celeste, you've never seen my toenails, but they're always a bright color like blue or green.)
The person below me prefers to go barefoot.
-
I love it indeed!
The person below me loves just skimming through a dictionary of a foreign or their own language, and learning new words :)
-
Yes, Isabelle, that's right. Glad that I'm not the only one. My husband always says I'm nuts for doing so.
As a child I even "read" the telephone book, looking for funny names (and my father said the same: that I'm nuts reading the phone book - but it was fun ::))
The person below me did the same: skimming through the phone book looking for funny names.
-
Yeah, I did that too, and what's wrong with that? :D
The person below me has a very unusual name of surname.
-
The person below me is really going to miss playing with Nipith for the three weeks during which he'll be gone.
;) You're wonderful for saying so. I'll miss you all too.
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 woke up before the sun rose this morning.
-
True. My husband awoke at 4am and couldn't sleep (jetlagged) and accidentally roused me. I practiced German to him/at him for a few minutes and, miraculously (big sarcasm there), he fell asleep. So did I. Happiest ending to insomnia ever!
The person below listens to foreign radio via the web.
-
False. Sounds like a good idea, though.
The person below me flosses regularly.
-
Not really [blush], but I am getting better. It was soooo hard at the beginning. I just couldn't figure out how to put the floss line in between the teeth in the back.
The person below me thinks the hot weather we are having has something to do with global warming.
-
False -- not specifically, anyway. I "believe in" global warming (you know, like God and the Tooth Fairy); however no layperson can sort degrees of heat into causal categories.
The person below me sleeps primarily on her/his right side.
-
True.
by the way, Barb, I LOVE the sig line you're using now, from the Eagles "Already Gone." Their greatest hits CD was one of the first CDs I ever bought!
The person below me would like to try ballroom dancing. (and you should! it's fantastic--get a good and fun teacher and you'll be hooked.)
-
False. You seen Ennis Del Mar dancing with Cassie? Well, I'm not *that* bad, but not much better either :laugh:
The person below me does not own a dish washer and does all the dishes the old-fashioned way.
-
Both true and false! I do have a potscrubber dishwasher, but it's never done a proper job, so I still prescrub by hand! Of course that's only for formal dining, the rest of the time it's paper plates to the trash! ;)
The person below me buys nice paper plates so there will be no dishwashing necessary! ;D
-
I live by meself, so i just wash the one dish I use right after I use it. so no. no paper dishes for me.
the person below me exfoliates every night.
-
False. A splash of cool water, if anything, at night.
[Down with disposables! Think of the landfills. There is only so much space, people.]
The person below me has met members of their favorite band.
-
No, but only because I don't have a favorite band....
The person below me falls in love with songs more than artists.
-
True...oh so true......
Love the words of songs, and the meanings of them to my life, loves and memories...
If I hear a song i like by a new artist, I then look for more of that artist to see if there are any others that put me in the same mood.....For example...when I heard Norah Jones...Come Away With Me....found more of hers that were great...
The person below me looks at men now and wonders if they are gay....
-
he he. I don't wonder any more. My gay-dar is actually pretty accurate. I can usually tell. Beside, I don't bother trying to figure it out either, since it's doesn't matter much.
the person below me has secret wish they could try a career other than the one they're working now. (and tell us what that is)
-
I don't have a secret career wish, but do think my life is moving in interesting new directions, and so think I'll be doing new stuff soon, but not instead of my job. 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 developed gay-dar before they even knew what they were picking-up from others.
-
::) hhmmm... i think that's true. oh wait, no, was it me projecting onto others? At any rate, the person below me would like to be able to fly like Superman.
-
oh yes wouldnt it be wonderful to be able to fly like superman.....i could get over to america and meet all the wonderful friends i have made....
the person below me, when they go fishing, throw them back in ........
(and i mean, real fishin
-
nah, not patient enough to fish.
btw, welcome to the board and to the game, coffeecat.
the person below me watches reality tv.
-
False. I don't watch much TV in general, but when I do, it's just "Lost," "The Daily Show With Jon Stewart," (though lately that's been vaguely pissing me off), and sports. Well, and Noggin (educational TV from Canada) when I'm watching with Will.
The person below me is in kind of a crappy mood today.
-
False. I'm in a hopeful, gently motivated mood today.
(I wish you a hearty bucking-up, Barb!)
The person below me has raspberry bushes out back.
(and that's not metaphorical or anything)
-
All I have out back is an alley-way. And that's not metaphorical or anything!
;D
The person below me loves tortilla chips - the real, authentic Mexican kind where you can taste the corn on the stalk when you bite into them.
-
I'm right smack in East LA, so yes, I get fresh real Mexican tortilla easily. I love em.
the person below considers loves exploring those little mom-n-pop, hole-in-the-wall food places.
-
I love it!
The person below me enjoys being in deep water and letting themselves be carried by the water.
-
False; I love water sports, but being swept out is not relaxing for me. ;)
The person below me loves guacamole (speaking of tortilla chips...) ;D
-
I do! I think I love everything Mexican...

The person below me has wooden floors in their home. ;)
-
True, all 80-year-old hardwood and pine, with fat cats splayed out along the baseboards.
The person below me is a summer-shaver, winter-grower. For the most part.
-
Oh - it's whatever strikes my fancy. Not much of a policy about this stuff.
The person below me loves Depech Modes "Personal Jesus" but nothing else of theirs.
-
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.
-
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 is in a much better mood now than she or he was this morning.
-
True; grand gold margaritas have paved the way this afternoon! ;)
The person below me uses a neti pot. ;D
-
Not sure what a "neti pot" is....but i will take a guess......and no, if I want to go thru the night I get up and go to the toilet......
The person below me watched the BBM DVD in the past 24hours
-
True, it's playing now on my portable player. ;)
BTW a neti pot is that nasal clearing device that works wonders, especially during allergy season! ;)
The person below me had fried potatoes with lunch! :D
-
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
The person below me has felt like striping today because of the heat...or for any other reason! ;)
-
True
How I wish I had fruit and vegetable but it was a sandwitch and crisps,as usual !
The person below me can't bear this opressive heat.
-
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.
-
Huh??? I thought most of the fridges (with freezer) on the market today auto defrost. I think mine does.
The person below me can mimic the sound of bird (any bird). (I can't)
-
A lot of us here in Aussie try to mimic the Kookaburra, which sounds like it is laughing.....goes like this......KOOOOOOOOKKKKKKKOOOOOOOKKKKKKKOOOOOOOO in a laughing tone.......
(not sure if you have to have an aussie accent to do it)
The person below me walks into a $2 discount shop, not intending to buy anything, then walks out spending over $20 on stuff they didnt know they needed.......

the person below me think scented candles are a bit too much.
-
True, I always look for the most subtle smelling variety. :)
The person below me has both everyday flatware and sterling silverware. :D
-
The person below me uses a neti pot. ;D
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 both everyday flatware and sterling silverware. :D
Nope. I just have a wonderful brushed stainless steel set wtih the name of "Now & Zen". It is sensuously curved and very heavy, and I love it.
The person below me has a past full of indiscretions that are now just the most lovely memories.
-
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.
the person below me is a mile high club member.
-
Nope, I stil have a long way to go. Guess I will get there some day. :P

The person below me imbibed with lunch (I know I did!) ;D
-
Nope, just decaf coffee with my grilled-cheese sandwich.
The person below me is allergic to something he/she loves.
-
Sort of true. I love cats, and have had at least one my whole life, but am ever so slightly allergic to them. 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).
-
not a weather storm. as a matter of fact, it's been consistently hot and sunny here in LA.
the person below me plans to do a little redecorating of some part of their home soon.
-
re-decorating....thats an understatment......i moved house completely, and enjoying decorating and organising the new house.
The person below me wears a raincoat in the rain
-
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.
-
Right you are! I just wish there were more hours in a day! ;)
The person below me lost their virginity at 18 ... :P
-
False. I didn't lose my virginity till I was a few days into 23. I was like, ugh, take this thing away from me!
The person below me gets really excited to find yarn for sale in unexpected places, like discount stores or the dollar store.

I often see it, and wish i could knit or crochet....then i could buy it.

The person below me has had poion ivy on his/her fingers.
-
False, I've been lucky to never have touched poison ivy.
the person below me got his/her driver's license as soon as they're legally able to drive.
-
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.
-
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.
-
True! I got my license right on my 16th birthday too!
The person below me has more than 2 cars in their family.
-
False, just the 2 for me. My sister's and my dad's. Hopefully when I drive there will be 3 but for now I will just have to dream.
The person below me has been put in a very arkward situation lately by a friend/ family member.
-
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.
-
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).
-
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!)
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
The person below me's favourite Beatles song is "Day Tripper" ;D (even if it is for the "She's a malteser" line)

The person below me had / will have a big sunday roast for lunch today...

The person below me watches "The L Word"
-
I don't have the channel it's on.
The person below me still likes to swing on a swingset (or do some similar playground activity) every once in a while.
-
oh gosh! it's been such a lone time since I've been on a swing. I love swings! Maybe I'll run out to the park tonight and just have a time of it. ;D
the person below used to always play on the monkey bars during recess.
-
oh gosh! it's been such a lone time since I've been on a swing. I love swings!
Starbie! Get thee to a playground!
Anyway, not always, I liked the other stuff too. But yes, I spent a good bit of recess time on the monkey bars.
The person below me wants to go to their neighborhood playground after reading these last few questions. 8)

The person below me also drinks a glass of water when they imbibe. ;)
-
no. although that's good idea. i'll start to do that.
the person below me think mojitos are the best summer drinks.
-
I'm personally a huge fan of warm water with a pinch of celtic sea salt (so it basically is warm salty mineral water). Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. 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....
The person below me loves the Starz 30 second Bunny Theater (http://www.starz.com/features/bunnyclub/office_space/index.html (http://www.starz.com/features/bunnyclub/office_space/index.html)).
-

The preson below me got sunburned this weekend. :o

the person below me will not answer their cell phone during a lunch/dinner date (with friends or with romantic interest).

The person below me needs a new car :-\
-
Looks like two rivers flowed into one --
True, I will not answer the cellphone unless it's urgent and I've let the person know.
False, I don't need a new car. Mine is still a pup of 30,000 miles, thank goodness. Although I'm on the verge of taking a job in Washington so that might change.....
The person below me has never had a manicure.
-
True - can't afford 'em, and to be honest I'm not bothered enough about the appearance of my nails to pay someone else to do it for me. Plus, there are better things to do on a Saturday...
The person below me DOES have manicures and will tell me why I should rethink my opinion on them...
-
I have had manicures done by nail technicians, and always prefer to do my own. I've got some skill in making sure my mails are well-cared for, and don't really like any part of having someone else do it except for the massage part. Sorry Nicky - can't convince you to re-think your opinoin.
The person below me thinks about spending money in terms of value, not cost.
-
Absolutely, yes.
The person below me had to drink strong coffee today at work to stop themselves from falling asleep...
-
no. got plenty of sleep today. though i skipped my morning work out for it. Not going to get a chance to make up for it this afternoon either. :(

-
Yeah! The cooky monster rules!! ;D
The person below me still has their favourite childhood teddy bear. :)
-
True, it's a panda named Penelope! 8)
The person below me loves the smell of new items, especially toys. ;)
-
True! I love the smell of new books most, especially a new novel where the smell is on every page. Although I hate the smell of new cars. And of course being me the smell of new money is especially appealing. ;D
The person below me can listen to songs over and over again without getting bored.

the person below me has problems with their partner because of all the time they spend on this board....
-
sorry, no partners, yet.
the person below me usually eats ice cream too quickly.
-
No, I eat it too slowly, and when i'm about half way thru, it starts to melt all over the cone and onto my hand, so i then usually ditch it.......
the person below me has a separate brokeback mountain folder on their computer for pics and letters...
-
I was just about to make one when I read this post. Yeah, I'll have a folder for BBM pix.
The person after me saw the movie at a film festival.

Nope, regular old movie theater.
The person below me is about to go to bed. :)
-
Hahaha... Time warp! I have just got OUT of bed, it is 8.30 a.m in France ;)
The person below me is going away on holiday soon (in less than 2 weeks)
-
False: I'm not going on holiday for THREE weeks. But it is pretty soon. I'm going to Seattle.
The person below me has had orthopedic surgery that resulted in having one or more horror-pins -- the kind that stick out of the skin -- inserted into a bone.
-
fortunately false. never had foot injury that bad. yikes. hurts to even think about it.
the person below me has had a broken arm.
-
False. I've had two broken fingers and two broken toes, but knock on wood, haven't broken anything bigger than that.
The person below me has driven or ridden in a car driven by someone without a license.
-
True. I pulled a couple of late-night solo-drives to or from friends' houses when I was a well-practiced but still-unlicensed 16-year-old.
The person below me doesn't function in the morning until her/his teeth are brushed.
Hey Nipith! It's early! (I consider 7am early.)
-
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.
-
Yes, my summer vacations in Italy! 4 weeks to go... :)
The person below me has been up earlier than usual today.
-
nope, 8am....the call of nature usually wakes me about then
the person below me takes some kind of medication
-
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.
-
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*)
-
Hey Nipith! It's early! (I consider 7am early.)
yeah, had to get up and prepare for client meeting. got a few minutes before having to leave so I just popped in and posted. ;D
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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). :'(
-
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.
-
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).
-
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.
-
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.
-
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)
-
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.
-
True! It sounds like spring out here on my lanai! 8)
The person below me has read "The Cheerleader" trilogy. ;)
-
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.
-
Nope. However, since everyone is answering way back questions, I will too! :laugh:
The person below me has read "The Cheerleader" trilogy. ;)
I've read The Cheerleader, Snowy and Henrietta Snow, and love them too!
The person below me follows the rules of this game! ;D

VERY, VERY true. And guess what? There's one raging in Southampton as we speak. A realgood one too!
The person below me thinks about J & E & BBM at least once every hour...
-
True, true and TRUE! Every hour...actually make that every second almost!
VERY, VERY true. And guess what? There's one raging in Southampton as we speak. A real good one too!
There was a really beautiful one here a couple of hours ago: amazing oranges and pinks streaked the sky and clashed with the grey as the lightning danced across the sky and then evetually struck down to earth, but no rain! I knew that rain dance wouldn't work! ;D
The person below me doesn't spend as much time on here as they would like to.
-
True at the moment actually. And that's because my kids are on holiday and so am I, and I have decided to spend time with them ;D, so less on here till September!
The person below me knew the answer to Yaadpyar's question even though they didn't answer because they thought it was too late:
"S'il te plaît, dessine-moi un mouton"
"Quoi!"
"Dessine-moi un mouton"
Le Petit Prince - Antoine de St Exupéry
(Quite easy to guess even if you've never learnt French, so there you have it in its original version :))
-
True! I used to have a "Le Mouton" toy that would baaaaaah when one would turn him upside down! 8)
The person below me is fluent in French. 8)
-
I wouldn't say I'm fluent, but I had 4 years of French in high school (and I'm only about to start my second year of college, so that wasn't too long ago!). Senior year we read Le Petit Prince in French. 8)
The person below me likes little kids.
-
I think little kids are wonderful......so innocent and trusting, I have five grandchildren who love me unconditionally and they bring a great deal of joy to my life.
The person below me has a TV show that they just CANT miss......
-
Yes, and it's on the (only)* intelligent* free tv channel we get in France: Arte (French-German channel), and the programme's called Karambolage; they take a German or French word/expression and tell its history (I love etymology), and also talk about the differences between Germany and France, and there is a lot of humor.
The person below me likes vodka.
-
False. Gin for me!
The person below me owns a devil costume.
-
Not anymore, but I was a devil for Halloween when I was five years old. 8)
The person below me loves cheese fries. ;)
-
Actually I prefer regular fries with a little salt.
The person below me is about to do some painting for something in/on their house (or has done it recently).
-
False, my remodeling job is done! ;)
The person below me still hangs a few pieces of laundry outside. ;D
-
I do this all the time, in my garden... (and can't help thinking of Alma doing the same, every time!). Is it not done any longer in the US?
The person below me loves the heat but gets very tired because of it.
-
I wouldn't say I love the heat, but yes, I get very tired because of it.
the person below me has a summer birthday.
-
Nope - early fall. September 25 to be exact.
The person below me is extremely resourcefu. Maybe not like McGuyver, but pretty darn good anyway.
-
I think I am resourceful, but I won’t say that I am extremely resourceful.
The person below me has glue stick in the place they are now. I can’t find one glue stick or glue of any kind at my office.
-
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.
The person below me is tired and too busy right now, just like me!
-
I am tired, but not busy anymore. got my tasks done for the day. for the week as a matter of fact. Whoo hoo! I can have tomorrow off.
the person below me is about to take a cold shower.
-
I am! Just as soon as I sign off! It's hot and humid here, and I need "refreshing" . . . .
The person after me is going to watch BBM with subtitles tonight . . . .
-
No. I don't watch the movie much. I know it too well. It's etched in my brain, so seems watching it is unnecessary.
The person below me is missing driving down the road listening to music. (sings to herself as she types, "life is a highway and I want to ride it all night long....)
-
I love listening to music when i am driving...and when i am on computer..i have a cd of history of love songs on here at the moment.....and while i pop in here every half hour or so, I am also doing book work for my business......busy...busy..busy....
the person below me hates doing a reconciliation of their bank account.....(like i do)
-
HATES, HATES, HATES IT!
The person below me feels so good when they finish doing something they hate to do.
-
Oh God yes.......but I am only half way thru what i am doing at the moment....I guess if i didnt stop to come into the board I would have finished ages ago.....
The person below me, hates it when they do grocery shopping, only to come home and realize they forgot something....
-
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.
Whenever the person below me hears about a blood drive, he/she donates if he/she can.
-
Yes I have given blood regularly...but my veins are thin, so they only take a half a pint out of me....it takes too long to take a pint....
The person below me has "O" type blood group.....
-
Yes, I do. It's the most common blood type among Asian, but I was told "O" is not very common here in US.
The person below me has run a successfully business by himself/herself. (Hey, a lemonade stand also counts)
-
yep, own and run a small book prepress production firm . . . .and I'm still up and working at 1:15 AM!
the person after me is retiring soon . . . .
-
No bloody chance! I am 40 next month, and I have another 28 years to go officially, but I reckon it will be more like 30+ years!
The person below me is below 40 years old.
-
Yes - but just barely. Not that I mind in any way.
The person below me knows their best years are ahead.
-
Hmm, I don't know know it, but I hope it.
The person below me has considered lying on red cross forms to bypass the changing, confusing rules about travel to Europe and the UK.
-
Hmmmm - I don't know what red cross forms are. I've never filled any out for any travel.
The person below me would love to take a dip in a pool.
-
True, I will later. It's still a bit early here to be in the water. 8)
The person below me has had to give directions to an emergency vehicle lost in their neighborhood. ???
-
Thankfully, no, I've never had to call emergency vehicles.
The person below me wore braces (the kind on your teeth) as a kid.
-
True!
The person below me has missing teeth.
-
False: I am blessed to have all my original teeth.
*Celeste- I wondered if there was anything missing from my red cross thingy -- I meant when donating blood. They have prohibitions on people who have traveled to or lived in some countries, and those who've spent too long in the UK are presumed to have mad cow disease -- GREAT.*
The person below me has a crepe-myrtle tree in bloom outside in the front yard.
-
No yard for me, but I love crepe myrtles.
(I cannot donate blood as I travel yearly to India - I am unclean apparently).
The person below me is HORRIBLE about sending birthday gifts.
-
I guess that's true. It's never really been a tradition in my family to send presents any way.
the person below me is doing a night out on the town tonight.
-
False! Nope staying in tonight. Curling up on the sofa with a phone, a nice cuppa and CHOCOLATE ICE CREAM! I swear Ice cream is the best thing about being depressed.
The person below me has missed the boat on an opportuntity because they were being too Ennis-like.
-
False, I'm not like Ennis in the least! 8)
The person below me is going fishing this weekend. :D
-
I've never been fishing in my life, and have no plans to change that anytime soon. So no, I don't have a fishin' buddy. :P
The person below me does/has done yoga.
-
Yep, been doing yoga for a while now. I like the downward dog, but I find thw back bends difficult cos my hips and lower back are all wonky!
The person below me is teetotal...
-
I don't drink any alchohol, so true.
The person below me can't believe summer will be drawing to a close soon, and that school will be starting again shortly.
-
True, school starts for my kids August 14. (I'm looking forward to it ;D)
The person below me is going to be staying cool behind the computer this weekend.
-
Nope. I'm gonna be outside for the most part. My dad's in town, so we're running errands tomorrow. Then Sunday I promised to help Kirk with his final move in to his place in the LB.
btw I've never heard of the word "teetotal". From C's response, I gather it means "not drinking alcohol"?
the person below me always seems to lose his/her stick of Chapstick/Blistex/lip balm.
-
btw I've never heard of the word "teetotal". From C's response, I gather it means "not drinking alcohol"?
the person below me always seems to lose his/her stick of Chapstick/Blistex/lip balm.
True to both, and I am absolutely addicted to lipbalm - get panicky if I have less than two rattling around :-\
The person below me owns a cowboy hat (please specify colour)...
-
Nope. I am thinking of getting one, not the really cowboy hat, but one for summer times. I have seen some people with really cute cowboy style summer hats.
The person below me masters the practice of counting to 10 before they say or write something when they are upset.
-
nope. that I haven't. and I keep forgetting to count. although, in general I just freeze up when I get upset, so there's really not much danger of me saying or writing things when I'm upset.
the person below me needs to do laundry this weekend.
-
Sure do!
The person below me is artistic in some way.
-
I hope it won't sound big-headed of me if I whisper a little "yes" (writing, and singing).
The person below me has never tried smoking pot.
-
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.
the person below me has traveled to the Middle East.
-
I have never traveled to the middle east.
The person below me dreamt last night that a couple she knows adopted a nine-year-old Russian boy with no legs.
-
How did you know??? :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o
The person below me loves reading crime fiction novels...

Yes. The BBM fan fiction I am reading now definitely have the crime fiction element in it. :)

-
Hee hee, I work in a library. Yes, I'll be there tomorrow.
The person below me has put out a fire (the accidental kind, not the camp or hearth kind), thereby potentially saving lives and property.
-
I work in our campus theatre scene shop at school, so we had to learn to use the fire extinguisher. We all went out in the parking lot and each got to put out a fire. It was kinda fun! But no lives or property were at risk.
The person below me often eats meals at weird times.
-
True! That's because I often work at weird times... :P
The person below me never eats breakfirst.
-
You kiddin'? I don't feel awake till I've had breakfast :P
The person below me could not do without coffee in the morning ;)
-
False. I ain't from Texas, but I still don't drink coffee. :P
The person below me has lived alone at some point in his/her life.
-
I have lived alone a lot in my life. But that is coming shortly to an end, at least for a while, and I'm really looking forward to it actually. Suprising even myself.
The person below me has more than 3 different travel alarm clocks, and they always take at least two on trips.
-
absolutely not! I don't understand why people take travel clocks. There are clocks everywhere you go, why bring one along?
the person below me will read the NY Times tomorrow morning
-
no. i haven't kept up with what's on tv. but let us know how it is.
the person below me think that hands are sexy.
-
I'd have to say no since I'm not even sure what you mean.

-
I cant believe you dont think Jakes hands are sexy.......
and no I am not having pizza for dinner....im having a pork roast at my mums....
the peson below me visits their parents at least once a week.....
-
That's true. My parents, divorced, both live within three miles of my house.
The person below me has come to understand and forgive some bad parenting with the realization that his/her parents are flawed, sometimes hurting, human beings.
-
Absolutely. They are hurting like hell.
The person below me does not understand much at sciences.
-
False! My favourite subjects are Science, Geography and languages. I have a very scientific mind, but I just can't do maths to save my life! ::)
The person below me has had a really lazy day today.
-
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).
-
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.
-
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
-
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.
-
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...)
-
False, I got a little more sleep than that! 8)
The person below me removes all jewelry and makeup before going to bed. ;)
-
True, always, except for body-piercings (too finicky to take out and don't need to be).
The person below me has slept on/in silk sheets ...sounds sooo romantic :)
-
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.
-
Yep, had dinner with friends last night.
The person below me enjoys breaking a sweat.
-
Heh heh. Depends on the circumstances, but generally, yeah. :)
The person below me would really like to lose about 10 pounds (and thus breaking a sweat on a very regular basis might be in order).
-
Make that 20 pounds. :)
The person below me has seen a newly released movie last weekend and will tell us the name.
-
I would tell you the name, but I haven't seen a new release probably since BBM. I do want to see An Inconvenient Truth.
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.
http://www.peaceworks.com/ (http://www.peaceworks.com/)
-
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
-
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.
-
If the bars are tasty and you feel they are better for you than other snack bars....enjoy them
They are, they are - yummy that is, and with just a few ingredients. I buy them 'cause they taste good..
OK back to the game.
I have no access to a pool, so unless I fill the tub with cold water, it's a no-go.
The person below me loves pear juice.
-
\And Nipith, I have ha
care to share the lurid details? ;D
back to topic. While I love pears, I never was particular about pear juice.
the person below me knows about "Tim Tam Explosions".
-
False, but I remember there was a guy on IMDb whose sig line was "He was going for the Tim Tams." I never knew what that was, though.
The person below me knows how to be alone,
-
the person below me knows about "Tim Tam Explosions".
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.
-
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.
-
Actually, I don't like chocolate *runs and hides*. If that were white chocolate, I would definitely want to try one! :P
The person below me loves chocolate.
-
True! My favorite is Ethel M's lemon chocolates! ;)
The person below me loves to walk the strip in Las Vegas. :D
-
no, I absolutely hate it. during the day it's usually too hot. and both day or night, it's too crowded, and usually full of stupid drunk college kids. (not that college kids are stupid, but when they're drunk, they can get that way, especially in Vegas)
the person below me is finally enjoying the slightly less hot outdoors again.
-
No, it's still way too hot for me.
The person below me prefers to be barefoot.
-
False, my feet are very sensitive. ;)
The person below me is comfortable wearing thong undies. :D
-
Hell, no. I prefer to go without more often than not, truth be told. Don't much like that whole bound feeling (well, not under normal circumstances, anyway ;)), and they don't make boxers for women, or at least not the kind I'd want to wear.
The person below me generally provides WAY too much information.
-
Oh yes. Look at the answer I was about to post before you posted, Barb:
Blech, I went through a thong phase but I'm so out of it now. I do not like my underwear up my butt!
*Barb when you allude to your pool you make me crazy with envy.*
The person below me was in three states yesterday. (I mean of America, not solid liquid plasma, although I sure did plasmify in the heat.)
-
Nope. Just one. Same old stupid one I'm in all the time. Solid.
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.
The person below me has a significant other who is *always* cold - even now. (Sarah, if you knew how high he keeps the temperature of our pool, you wouldn't be so jealous.)
-
No, my significant other is usually on the warm side. I'm usually on the cool side. But neither of us is extreme.
(Thanks for telling me about the water temperature, Barb. Right now, the cold water coming out of the shower isn't cold enough for me. And I'm a coldwater swimmer. I have dreams of swimming the English Channel.)
The person below me dreams of swimming the English Channel.
-
False. I like my water for swimming to be refreshing. But not cold. Ideal temps for me range from about 76-82F. Our pool is up to 94F. 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.
The person below me is looking forward to working out HARD this evening and then taking a COOL shower. :)
-
No, I worked out earlier today and then took a regular shower. :)
The person below me sometimes has trouble thinking of new questions for this game. :P
-
sometimes....but I usually think of something that I have questioned myself in the past hour or so.......
the person below me, gets fed up with solving arguments between other people
-
nope, I generally stay the hell out of other people's arguments. the only time I ever got involved was at the mall when a boyfriend looked to be getting violent with his girlfriend. I stepped in to make sure things didn't get physical, and called security.
the person below me has been escorted out by security.
-
Umm, not yet. ;D
The person below me has heard the song "Love's Divine" by SEAL (my fave song of the week) ... :)
-
Nope. I don't know who is SEAL, a band? Sorry! :P
The person below me is going to embark a cross continental trip. If so, we wish you a safe trip and a splendid time. :)
-
flight leave at 1am. arggghhhh!!!! It's surreal in a way. but I'm excited. thank you for the well wish.
the person below me usually makes plans to have a friend come by and water their plants while they're away on a long trip.
-
True, although plants are last on the list of priorities: first are cats, then mail, then fish, then plants.
The person below me is eating mixed nuts RIGHT NOW.
-
Nope, no mixed nuts for snack, no nothing for snack. :(
The person below me is drooling over new Jake pictures. :P
-
No, I am (or was till I popped in) actually doing WORK at work. Hunh?
The person below me loved the Atari game Seaquest.
-
Sorry, No, I have never played any Atari game. :o
the person below me loves Friday
-
True. Friday is the best day of the week because the whole, long weekend lays in front of you :)
The person below me had been told a secret or very private thing today from a friend.
-
Not today, but it's only about 10am here. Who knows what'll happen later. :)
The person below me has a reunion with a friend coming up. ;D
-
False! Just had one!
The person below me will watch Brokeback Mountain this weekend and NOT CRY!
-
False and false. I will see BBM next week and I won't be able to see it without crying. Never.
The person below me has never eaten buttered popcorn (here in Germany popcorn is mostly sugared, rarely salted, but never buttered).
-
Buttered and salted popcorn.....a must for watching a movie.......
the person below me prefers going to the movie theatre than watching a DVD at home
-
(here in Germany popcorn is mostly sugared, rarely salted, but never buttered).
First, I want to know how do you make sugared popcorn? I'm on a low-sodium diet and missing popcorn. Do you just sprinkle sugar on? Or are you talking about what we here call "caramel corn"? (carmelized with sugar).
False, usually. I only go to the theater to see special-effects-type movies where a big screen helps . . .
The person after me will skip dessert this evening . . . .
-
Well I have already had dinner, but I did miss dessert although I don't normally have a set dessert, just anything I can find in the cupboards really.
The person below me hasn't been on here in ages and now they are back it feels like coming home. ;D
-
I haven't had as much time for it lately, but of course it's always a relief to be back! (Welcome home Becky! :D)
The person below me loves to wear flip flops.
-
True, true, true! I barely wear other shoes during summer (except when driving, can't drive with flip flops).
First, I want to know how do you make sugared popcorn? I'm on a low-sodium diet and missing popcorn. Do you just sprinkle sugar on? Or are you talking about what we here call "caramel corn"? (carmelized with sugar).
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.
The person below me has been on a skiing vacation.
-
False. I've never skiied.
The person below me has made a quilt.
-
False. I don't do much sewing.
(Penthesilea, when I have to drive and I'm wearing flip flops, I just slide them off and drive barefoot. 8))
The person below me is good with their hands (using tools, etc.).
-
yes, I am good with my hands. tools or not.
the person below me recently traveled back in time. ;)
-
false . . . I can go forward in time, but not back . . . .
The person below me had eggs today
-
yes i did.....i dont eat many, but this morning i had bacon and eggs......
the person below me has a funny animal for a pet
-
No. Don't have a funny animal as a pet. When I was young I raised silkworm for a few seasons, not sure if that counts as funny animal (probably not).
The person below me only drinks bottled water.
-
Well I usually drink water out of a bottle, but I'd be totally broke if I bought a new bottle every time. I drink a lot of water, so I refill bottles a lot.
The person below me prefers small groups of people to large ones.
-
In general, yes. But it depends on the occasion.
The person below me has more than one computer in his/her household.
-
Oh I wish.......but we only have one......shared between me and my hubby.......and it pisses me, when he wastes time on here just playing solitaire, when i have important stuff to do, like coming onto the message board.
the person below me talks to friends on Instant Messenger Chat
-
False, I don't really use IM.
The person below me has a "crap table." This is a table that's supposed to be a work table but it takes on a mountain shape and has to be cleared before work can commence.
-
OMG, so true! This is my desk. I never write anything at my desk, because there is simply no space. It's not only covered, there's a mountain of unnecessary things on it. I clean it every now and then, but it lasts only a couple of days until it is magically back to it's usual shape :-\
When I have to write something, I use mostly the kitchen table.
The person below me has seen other movies with Heath or Jake after BBM, only because one of them is in it (I saw Donnie Darko two days ago for this reason, but actually liked it a lot).
-
Many a time for Jake! I mean have you seen Lovely and Amazing?! There is only one reason to see that film and that is Jake. I haven't done it with Heath yet though, but I am sure next time a Heath film comes out here I will be on it...Trust me! ;D
The person below me is getting excited about all the meetings that are happening soon.(namely for me the Euro meeting, just can't wait)
-
I'm very happy for all of you who get to go to these meetings and can't wait to hear all about them!
The person below me has a friend that you can not talk to for a long time, but then pick up where you left off.
-
Very true . . . almost in mid-sentence . . .
The person below me might have to skip lunch today . . . .
-
The person below me has a friend that you can not talk to for a long time, but then pick up where you left off.
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 might have to skip lunch today . . . .
Yep, have been doing that for some time.
The person below me knows who is Billy Sive, and has shredded tears for him.
-
Sorry, I've never heard of him.
The person below me can dance a waltz! :)
-
yes i can.....i learnt ball room dancing when i was younger.....
the person below me wears lots of jewellery
-
Nope. Wedding ring and my 3 bracelets, nothing else.
The person below me is afraid of snakes.
-
absolutely terrified. I get paralyzed with fear just at the site. Don't expect to see Snakes on a Plane for that reason.
The person below me is watching Amelie right now (it's on IFC).
-
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.
-
The person below me knows who is Billy Sive, and has shredded tears for him.
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".
The person below me was recently pleasantly surprised by a movie they were fairly certain would suck. But didn't. At
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.
-
False. I don't read any blogs at all. And I don't know anyone who writes one.
The person below me was recently pleasantly surprised by a movie they were fairly certain would suck. But didn't. At all.
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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 . . . .
-
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.....
the person below me is a snorer........
-
so any ideas from anyone how to cure snoring would be very much appreciated.......
the person below me is a snorer........
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.
-
Nope, but I make a great lentil soup.
The person below me has to take a pet to the vet tomorrow.
-
No. Did that last month.
The person below me is NOT a summer person.
-
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? )
-
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.
-
No way. My work days are Friday to Monday..not happy.
The person below me has green eyes.
-
I have green eyes now . . . 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 . . . .
The person below me is thinking about pulling an all-nighter. . . .
-
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.
The person below me sometimes wishes Israel and Lebanon would break off and sink into the Mediterranean. (I hope this is taken in a nonpolitical spirit. Just quit bickering! I can't stand it!)
-
No. I just wish all those idiots who are the forcing power behind this would fall off a cliff into the Mediterranean.
The person below me is thinking about pulling an all-nighter. . . .
What the heck does this mean? "to pull an all-nighter" ???
From the answer I'd say to stay up all night without sleep.
The person below me always banged doors as a kid, never closed them properly (I did, still do sometimes and my nemesis are three kids who bang doors all day - and I hate it ::) )
-
No. I just wish all those idiots who are the forcing power behind this would fall off a cliff into the Mediterranean.
LOL . . . please let it be televised . . . .
What the heck does this mean? "to pull an all-nighter" ???
From the answer I'd say to stay up all night without sleep.
Exactly . . . you must not live in the US . . . .?
I used to bang doors until my hands went through a glass one as I was "banging" it open . . .
The person below me is going to the beach tomorrow . . . .
-
Hmmmm... That's a thought. I haven't been to the beach in ages, and it's a shame, since it's only about five miles away.
The person below me was disappointed in a movie they saw last night.
-
Nope. Didn't see any movie last night. I read fanfiction the whole evening.
But I am disappointed that an announced movie will not come at the scheduled date (yes Barb ;), it's Moonlight Mile, they changed the programme >:()
Exactly . . . you must not live in the US . . . .?
No, Germany here. Have never been to the US. All the travelin' I'm doing is around the coffeepot looking for errr, I mean in Europe.
The person below me has eaten lobster.
-
Oh, yes. Many times. I just had a lovely lobster bisque the other day with a salad for lunch, in fact. And I've eaten a whole lobster before, but it's been a while.
The person below me doesn't want to go to the grocery store but has to.
-
Ironically, just came back. Cubbards were bare.
The person below me likes to drive fast.
-
Yes! I have to drive a lot and I love my lil' red Turbo Diesel! Lol. ;)
The person below is a very careful driver.
-
Yes I am a careful driver.....i live in a large country town where everything and everyone is only five minutes away..so there is no need to rush, or be impatient....
The person below me tries to economise on petrol (gas) now that it is so expensive
-
Try but to no avail. Have to travel.
The person below me dresses up every halloween.
-
Not in a while. I'm not quite creative enough to come up with a good costume.
The person below me likes going on vacation (holiday) but also likes to come back home.
-
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.
-
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 has sang professionally in opera.
-
Not even in the shower.
The person below me likes red wines.
-
YES! ;D
The person below me listens to Billie Holiday and Nat King Cole songs ..
-
I dont have any Billy Halliday, but I do listen to Nat King Cole...I like all the oldies....my favourite is Johnny Mathis.....so smooth.....
(By the way, I have oftened wondered, is Johnny Mathis gay?)
the person below me hears a love song, and now relates it to Jack and Ennis
-
(By the way, I have oftened wondered, is Johnny Mathis gay?)
yes, famously so . . .
No, don't automatically associate a love song with J and E . . . or anyone, really . . . .
the person below me has listended to Morgana King records . . . .
-
I have no idea who Morgana King is.
The person below me has left graffiti on a bathroom wall.
-
yes, i have when i was a teenager, I remember using my lipstick to draw a hear and the intitials of the boy i was "in love" with at the time......
the person below me can remember the name of their "first love"
-
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.
-
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.
The person below me is a very busy bee these days.
-
Always, always....we have our own business, a pet shop, so there is always some bookwork or banking to be done.....(and i would get it done a lot sooner if i didnt spend so much time on this message board)........
(and I do remember old phone numbers and addresses of where i used to live)
the person below me puts off doing things, to spend time on the message board
-
Oh my...yes! I'm lucky to work in a job where there are reasonable, and reasonably frequent, lulls enabling me to check back here on BetterMost, and even post as time allows. 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.
-
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.
-
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!!
The person below me can flare their nostrils like Heath does in the Lightning Flat scene.
-
Not when I try to, but I have been told when I am annoyed I do it.
The person below me has been to the dentists reccently!(I know wildly exciting, hunh?)
-
Yes, I've been some five, six, or seven times since fall of 2005! Lots of work to do after having been absent from a dentist's care for eleven years. I was last there on August 8th, for a follow-up cleaning, and I'm scheduled to go back on August 25th, for a tooth extraction :o!
The person below me has seen either "Surf Party" and/or "Ride the High Country".
-
Nope, neither one.
The person below me still has a turntable.
-
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.
The person below me thinks he or she is a mediocre driver at best.
-
I think I am a good driver.....im very patient and good mannered, and I try never to speed.....
(And I still have a turntable too, and still have my original Beatle and Elvis LP records, plus others)
the person below me is waiting like I am to see the 600th member join Bettermost.
-
I am now! :)
The person below me has a transition of some kind coming up soon.
-
The person below me has a transition of some kind coming up soon.
"Do I have to?" I whine. :) Actually, I pick the transition that will be happening this weekend when Sarah henrypie and her husband come stay with us. Sarah and I were roommates at AnglessFest in Santa Monica.
The person below me read Steve Martin's novella "The Pleasure of My Company," and looks forward to it being made into a movie.
-
No I havent read it, but i like most of Steve Martin's movies, so will look forward to another movie coming out.
the person below me, is wondering why no one is responding to this thread lately.......
-
Yes, I am. Slow all over...
The person below me has noticed a little change in the leaves lately, early announcement of the next season. (And which season is it, which hemisphere do you live in?)
-
Yes indeed. Two days ago my husband mowed our lawn and I noticed how many leaves have already fallen from our cherry tree.
So it's not hard to guess I live in the northern hemisphere and next season will be - surprise, surprise ;) - autumn.
The person below me has trained his pet a special trick/gimmick.
-
Yes we have an Alexandrine Parrot, and we are teaching him to talk and various whistles.....He says various things all ready, like "whatcha doin","are you talkin to me","hello charlie"....and can also wolf whistle, and also copies a lot of the sounds of the native birds.
The person below me loves chocolate, and what flavour?
-
Hell yeah! Choc-a-holic almost as much as a Broke-a-holic! When I was born "Show me Heaven" was number one in the UK and later it was used on a chocolate advert and my mum always says it was meant to be for me to love chocolate! ;D
The person below me loves general knowledge quizes!
-
I wouldn't say I "love" them but I don't mind them. When I was a kid I never understood what general knowledge was & how you learnt it. I thought maybe it was a subject at school!
The person below me has an item of clothing they attach special significance to.
-
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 :).
The person below me is a sucker for sunglasses.
-
Oh yeah. Must have 20 pair.
The person below me secrety (or not so) watches Oprah everyday.
-
I dont secretly watch her, I enjoy her show.....Not keen on the room and people makeover ones, but some of the "in depth" stories I have found very amazing and interesting.......
Is there something going on over there in the U.S. against Oprah?....I thought she was very popular over there.....Can someone tell me what the stigma is about watching Oprah?
the person below me secretly watches soap operas on tv........
-
Is there something going on over there in the U.S. against Oprah?....I thought she was very popular over there.....Can someone tell me what the stigma is about watching Oprah?
the person below me secretly watches soap operas on tv........
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.
The person below me is listening to a thunder storm right now, like I am . . .
-
Oh I wish, we certainly need some rain over here in Australia....but it is the last month of winter here, so hopefully we will be listening to thunderstorms in a few months time too.....
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... ;) )
the person below me loves the smell of the rain when it hits the dust.......

I'm not sure I know what rain hitting dust smells like, but I do love the smell of rain in general.
The person below me likes the room to be a little chilly when they sleep, so they can put on a blanket.
-
Give me a shower any day, and every day......baths take too long to fill up to a depth that is comfortable.......
the person below me has met someone in person, whom they met here on the board.
-
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 . . . .
-
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
-
the person below me has met someone in person, whom they met here on the board.
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.
-
The person below me has lived in a country different to where they were born
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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
-
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 :))
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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
-
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.
The person below me wishes they had been born under a different astrological sign than they were.
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.
:)
Scott (still sheepish)
-
I think I am responding to two messages up
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??
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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).
-
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)
-
Boringly, I don't know an Ennis personally either.
The person below me has eaten at Tacos Del Mar.
-
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).
-
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!
-
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)
-
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.)
-
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....
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Yes I do as well as other things.
The person below me has bought the most emabrrasing thing on a credit card.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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!)
-
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.....
-
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
-
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).
-
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......
-
I have never watched a full episode of any Survivor.....
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) . . . .
-
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.
-
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)
-
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!!)
-
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!")
-
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.
-
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......
-
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.
-
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.
-
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).
-
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 . . .
-
False - I'm pretty good with names.
The person below me loves chick flicks.
-
True, true, true - French Kiss, Four Weddings and a Funeral, Notting Hill, Sleepless in Seattle, Bridget Jones, etc etc etc
The person below me swears by condroitin glucosamine for those creaky, complaining joints.
-
Havent heard of that out here, but I will find out about it....does it work?....
the person below me is has been on a diet, and it has worked......
-
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.
-
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 . . .
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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. :-\
-
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.
-
A WHAT?????
-
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caipirinha
Caipirinha is a Brazilian cocktail, with a simple but distinctly tangy sweet taste. Really good for warm summer evenings.
-
Sounds very nice, but I have never tried it........
the person below me enjoys hearing about different foods and drinks from other countries
-
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).
btw, tell us what regions (other than your own) are some of your favorites, cuisine-wise.
-
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
-
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!)
-
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!
-
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)
-
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...
-
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......
-
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?
-
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.......
-
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. :-\
-
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)
-
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
(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/59/Drink_augustiner_beergarden.jpg/180px-Drink_augustiner_beergarden.jpg)
-
False.
Unfortunately ! Would love to try it one day !
The person below me is a teeto taller ! ( Have I spelt that right? )
-
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.
-
You bet I'm a teetotaller! Never been a fan of alcohol--don't find its taste pleasant, and have gotten sick from it.
.
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"...
-
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).
-
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)
-
...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.
-
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.
-
True! I love lightening also.
The person below me has had an interesting experience recently.
-
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
-
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.
-
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:
(http://www.planetspace.de/startrek/library/images/species/vgruss.jpg)
-
true !
I just tried it and I can ! "V" is an interesting shape !
The person below me thought Meryl Streep and Ann Hathaway were fabulous in Devil Wears Prada.
-
Sure did!
The person below me has had a fantastic day today! ;D
-
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.
-
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......
-
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.
-
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!)
-
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...
-
False !
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's and women's breasts were the same thing is living in another planet !
The person below me has recently seen POTC-DMC and loved it especially Jonny Depp !
-
Yes I've seen it, but back when it first premiered in July or whatever. Yes I liked it, and I love Johnny Depp!
The person below me loves celebrating their birthday.
-
Yes, on my birthday, we go to dinner, with all the family and its good fun.
the person below me loves having visitors for dinner
-
Yes I love to have the hungry visitors for the late meal. We eat and drink and have fun.
The person under me is liking to take photos outdoors. I do.
-
Love taking photos indoors, outdoors, anywhere....since its so easy with a digital, can take as many as I like.......
the person below me keeps their computer files tidy and in order....
-
False. Luckily I have a husband who is a computer scientist and so it's his job.
The person below me has seen/read BBM in a language other than English (who was it with the Malaysian DVD and the funny English subtitles?)
-
False, but I know it was Sheyne who posted the fabulous Malaysian subtitles. One of my favorite threads ever.
The person below finds the Boston, New York, and London Brokie get-togethers inspiring, and wants to go to one at the next opportunity.
-
Definately, very inspiring, and I am definately coming over from Australia next June or July to got to Alberta.
The person below me is coming to Alberta too......
-
False. I'm definately not coming to Alberta. No way :(
False, but I know it was Sheyne who posted the fabulous Malaysian subtitles. One of my favorite threads ever.
The person below finds the Boston, New York, and London Brokie get-togethers inspiring, and wants to go to one at the next opportunity.
Thanks for the info about Sheyne's thread. I bumped it.
I know the question is already answered, but... I do find Brokie gatherings inspiring, I'm so glad I was in London. Meeting fellow Brokies is awesome. And I definately plan to attend another EuroBrokie gathering if possible anyhow. I hope for next year, maybe spring...I've already heard the name of Brussels thrown into the crowd...
The person below me uses more than one alarm clock (errr, I use three ::))
-
Nope, just use one....but it's in the kitchen, so by the time I stagger out of the bedroom and shut it off, I'm committed to waking up.
The person below me talked to a friend or relative this weekend that they hadn't heard from in a while.
-
False, not this weekend. If we were talking about last weekend, then I talked to 20 some college friends. Most of them I have not seen in 10 years. It was a blast!
The person below me have had put their summer cloth away.
-
True, i was at Whole Foods having lunch with my daughter and saw a friend I hadn't talked to in about three years. She joined us for lunch.
The person below me has played at least one part on the Performance Thread.
-
I have, plus various bit parts and audience members ;D. If any of you haven't got involved yet you should give it a go, 'cos it's a great laugh! Can be a bit intimidating at first 'cos it's a bit bonkers, but completely worth the effort!
The person below me has given themselves a paper cut today. Ouch!!
-
Paper, what's that? :) I think I can go a whole day without touching paper in this electronic age. I even read novels on my Palm. But my daughter does a lot of drawing - on paper - so I guess I still do touch paper every day.
BTW, yowee to papercuts. I haven't had one in a long while, but I DO remember them.
The person below me is planning a home improvement project soon. (I'm about to go out and choose some tile for my fireplace hearth.)
-
Not much home improvement to be done here in my dorm! :P But I'm planning a cleaning spree as well as finishing decorating on Saturday, so I guess that'll be an improvement.
The person below me has given themselves a paper cut today. Ouch!!
No paper cuts, but I just got scraped up a little by some plywood at work today (the scene shop of our theatre). That never happens to me! :-\
Anyway, the person below me is procrastinating at this very moment.
-
True. (who isn't?)
The person below me ate too much for dinner.
-
I wish......I am on a diet.....I havent eaten "too much" for the past three weeks...
the person below me wakes up far too early........
-
Nope. I never wake up on time without an alarm. My Mum used to say I could sleep on a telephone wire if I needed to :)
The person below me bruises like a peach ;)
-
Nope, I'm pretty tough. 8)
The person below me is terribly indecisive.
-
Ummmm...ahhhhh...errrrrr...ummmm ;) ::). Nope, I'm very decisive, and mostly I don't dither once I've made a decision. Sometimes on a major decision though it's taken me an age to follow through on it.
The person below me has a particular person on the forum they'd like to meet in...er... person... ;D
-
Yes Yes YES!! I'd love to meet everyone and anyone on our wonderful board, and actually have met three of our lovely members (Eric [sfericsf], Pete [ptannen], and Judy [ohiomyown]), but my oldest friend here, Melinda (Sashca1007), who I first met online in early 2004, is someone I've yet to see face to face! Melinda is coming here in November, and hopes to make it to my town in order for us to enjoy this long-delayed meeting. I'm really looking forward to it! :)
The person below me finds Friday evening to be their favorite part of the week.
Edit: Correction of a minor typo in Pete's username.
-
Actually for me the best time of the week is the Saturday (lørdag) afternoon.
I always get out of town and see the sights of the countryside.
I try to get out of my vehicle and walk for half the time and have the lunch with a friend in the great outdoors.
This time we hope to go for a boat ride too and maybe have a floating picnic.
That is on Lørdag afternoon. Nice day.
The person that is below me likes to have the music when walking outdoors.
-
When outdoors I would rather listen to the bird noises and just the general sounds of the outdoors.....but when i am driving i like to play my favourite cd's.
the person below me enjoys swimming
-
No, not really. I never have.
The person below me got more sleep than usual last night. :)
-
nope, didn't get more sleep than usual, probably less . . . (But I do like to swim--used to swim a mile a day when I lived in NY)
The person below me watched South Pacific on TCM today . . .
-
I hope it was the original South Pacific....a beautiful movie, with some of the greatest songs......
the person below me likes all the old Rogers and Hammerstein movies...Oklahoma, Carousel etc....
-
False. I loved them as a kid. But I have trouble suspending disbelief long enough to imagine a world in which people walk around and suddenly break into song for no apparent reason, and then everyone else around them happens to know the song, too, and sings along. Too jaded, I guess.
The person below me officially started on a diet today. :P
-
I started the first diet i have ever been on, three weeks ago....i lost nearly 9lb in that three weeks......its a low carb diet....no sugar, potoatoes, bread,pasta....
the person below me, thinks they should be on a diet, but doesnt know where to start
-
False. That was me last week.
I'm on a low-carb diet, too. Inspired by The South Beach Diet, I call it the Lo-Carb Barb Diet. Basically what you're doing. I think it's silly to cut out fruits and vegetables like South Beach has you do for the first two weeks, along with anything else that has any carbs in it whatsoever. But I'm cutting out white starches - that means no white bread, pasta (WAH!), potatoes, rice, cereal, and of course sugar (so no candy, cookies or cakes, either, but that's not a hard one for me). But I can have whole wheat bread and pasta (which tastes like a foot, unfortunately), all the dairy I can stand, all the meat and eggs I can eat, and I do like meat and eggs, and all the fruit and veggies I want.
I did this three years ago and lost 15 pounds in a month and kept it off for a year afterwards. My total cholesterol was the lowest it's ever been in my life, and my good cholesterol (HDL?) was the highest it's ever been - 94 - my doctor said it was like an athlete's. HA! And I felt *so* good. Why did I stop doing it? A little thing called Hurricane Frances, which knocked our power out for 2 weeks and rendered eating nothing but meat and dairy and no white carbs virtually impossible. Once I got off the wagon, I could never get back on. I tried a couple of times and my heart just wasn't in it, so I stopped after losing about 5 pounds. Not this time. I'm ready to go all the way again. Bring it on, man.
The person below me likes to do a cold rinse in the shower right before getting out.
-
False. I hate cold water (except for drinking)! I love to shower though, but only when warm water is available.
The person below me is looking forward to Halloween.
-
We dont have Halloween here in Australia...but I have seen pictures of all the crazy pumpkins that get carved over there...
The person below me is looking forward to Christmas
-
Yes and no. I love how everything looks around Christmas, with decorations and everything. And I'm definitely looking forward to the break from school. But I don't like the stress and how crowded stores always are. But mostly I like Christmas.
The person below me just made an exciting purchase recently. (My roommate and I finally bought curtains today! ;D We've been wanting them for a month!)
-
Yep, a different style of riding boots - and they work great - tried them out on a trail ride Friday evening.
The person below me heard some exciting news from a friend or family member recently.
-
False.
The person below me is fighting a cold. :-\
-
False, I am feeling so damn good, it scares me....must be all the fruit and vegetables I am now eating on this damn diet......
the person below me has a flu enjection every year hopefully so they wont get the flu during winter

Nah... not old enough for that yet ;)
The person below me gets hay fever.
-
Yes to both I'm afraid - dratted hay fever and flu jab
The person below me is listening to music right now, and will tell us what they're listening to...
-
Well I was just a second ago before my mum told me to shut up cause she needs to go to sleep(so now I am typing quietly ::)) But I was listening to the Fratellis- Henrietta which I love at the moment for some unknown reason.
The person below me has had a hectic time over the past few weeks and knows it iwll get worse.
-
The person below me is listening to music right now, and will tell us what they're listening to...
A Love That Will Never Grow Old
I have the song on repeat playing on my computer. Another song that I can listen to over and over is One More Time by Laura Pausini, which also reminds me of BBM.
The person below me has had a hectic time over the past few weeks and knows it iwll get worse.
False. Becky, I hope you did not have a hectic time.
The person below me plans to do some apple (or other kind of fruits) picking in Oct.
-
Nope. I'm the sound designer for the musical we have coming up. Performances are the last two weekends in October, so I pretty much have no free time until it's over. So false to Jenny's question and true to Becky's. :P
The person below me has stormy weather right now (like I do!) :)
-
False. It's a beautiful day today. The sun is setting down.
The person below me is reading a new novel. If so, please tell us the name.
-
Yes I am a John Grisham fan...I bought 3 new ones the other day...I'm half way thru "The Broker" and still have "The Summons" and "The Last Juror" to read....
the person below me has a favourite author
-
True, more than one - but if I have to pick just one, I'll pick Barbara Kingsolver. My favorite novel of hers is "Prodigal Summer."
The person below me has lived on at least two different continents.
-
True, more than one - but if I have to pick just one, I'll pick Barbara Kingsolver. My favorite novel of hers is "Prodigal Summer."
The person below me has lived on at least two different continents.
I know we've discussed this before, but she and Joyce Carol Oates are who I'd pick. And my favorite of BK's is "The Poisonwood Bible," which I'd also call my favorite book.
False on that one. I've only visited one other continent and can only wish I lived there.
The person below me has an upcoming meeting or appointment he or she is *not* looking forward to.
-

Which continent is that ednbarby?
False, I have work to look forward to, but no terrible meetings...
The person below me has had an allergy attack while visiting a windmill....
-
Which continent is that ednbarby?
False, I have work to look forward to, but no terrible meetings...
The person below me has had an allergy attack while visiting a windmill....
Europe. The UK, specifically.
I haven't had an allergy attack while visiting a windmill. But then I haven't visited a windmill...
The person below me enjoys green tea.
-
Dont drink much green tea, but I drink a lot of ordianary tea.......
the person below me is never happy with their financial situation
-
False. I usually am content with my finances, but this month I am having to budget myself carefully (no trip to Casper for an Annie sighting for me, I'm afraid :-\). I'm not someone who needs a lot of money, being a man of simple tastes, but ya gotta pay those bills!
The person below me has climbed one of the pyramids at Giza.
-
I wish!
The person below me still gets all choked up when watching BBM
-
You bet! Heck, I get choked up sometimes just seeing stills from the film (such as Mark has been providing on the 'Fantasy Scenes' thread), and listening to the musical score never fails to get me crying--which is one reason I haven't invested in the soundtrack CD. I've only watched the movie all the way through on DVD once, and the emotion was so powerful that I am reluctant to do so again anytime soon.
The person below me has had an exhausting day at work, and is relieved to be done with it.
-
That's how I felt yesterday. Today was a little calmer.
The person below me is really looking forward to watching "Lost" tonight. ;D
-
Sorry I have never watched "Lost".......
the person below me has had a big clean up today
-
Not yet but one is due very soon!
The person below me automatically knows who I am referring to when I say "Mrs. Slocombe from Grace Brothers"! :)
-
Yes, isnt that the grey haired lady from Are You Being Served......
the person below me likes English comedy TV shows
-
Yap I do!!!
The person below me has heard of the TV show called "The Water Rats"! ;)
-
Hey, Milli, thats an Aussie show.....starry Colin Friels....do you like that show...it was one of our favourites too, has been off the air now for a few years...
the person below me is going out to dinner tonight with friends
-
I already had dinner. Well, actually, since it's 2:25am right now for me I guess I could talk about Thursday night dinner. I'm friends with most of the people I work with (in our campus theatre) and we work until 6 on Tuesday and Thursday. We usually go get dinner together afterwords. (I guess that could have been summed up with the word 'true'. :P)
The person below me can't think straight when they are really tired.
-
You bet! Heck, I get choked up sometimes just seeing stills from the film (such as Mark has been providing on the 'Fantasy Scenes' thread), and listening to the musical score never fails to get me crying
OMG Scott, this describes my reaction perfectly too! Except I must be a masochist for I HAVE got the CD and still listen to it a lot.
To reply to the above post:
Being tired really brings out the worst in me, yet not being able to think straight is one of the more benign things tiredness does to me... (dunno that I usually think "straight" anyhow ;))
The person below me suspects they must have been of the opposite sex in a previous life (or sometimes feels closer to members of the opposite sex in this life).
-
Hmmmm, interesting. I do get on well with men, but then my friends are pretty evenly split between the sexes. I definitely do not like working in an office with only women (too bitchy), though I've happily worked in all-male environments in the past as the only female (on building sites). I prefer a mixture really. And I still haven't answered the question ::). I think I mght have been a bloke in a previous life, yes...
The person below me is a 'cuddly' sleeper in bed...
-
Generally no, but I haven't had the chance to be cuddly with anyone for a long time. I do remember the pleasure of waking up with someone special next to me, but generally didn't cuddle while sleeping.
The person below me thinks that the Yahoo Serious film Young Einstein is a neglected, underrated gem of a movie.
-
Hey, Milli, thats an Aussie show.....starry Colin Friels....do you like that show...it was one of our favourites too, has been off the air now for a few years...
Hey Katie .. Yap, its an aussie show! I like it alot! I watch re-runs on TV every Saturday/Sunday afternoon! ;)
To the question at hand:
The person below me thinks that the Yahoo Serious film Young Einstein is a neglected, underrated gem of a movie.
I have never seen the film, so I guess I can't tell if it good or not. 8)
The person below me had a major crush on Clint Eastwood in The Good, the Bad and the Ugly .. or any of his earlier westerns for that matter! :)
-
First off....in reference to Yahoo Serious....that was his real name, and he only made two other movies after Young Einsteen, and they didnt do any good.....
And Yes, I have always liked Clint Eastwood, from his Rowdy Yates days in Rawhide....then the spaghetti westerns, to the Dirty Harry collection....and then in one of my favourite films Bridges of Madison County......
the person below me likes to watch old movies
-
Yes, but what's old? I love Brief Encounter and Una Giornata Particulare and Cinema Paradiso, which to me are quite old...
The person below me likes to walk around in the rain...
-
No. As a dog owner, I have to do it too often to see it as a likeable thing. I hate it, but I love my dog, so...
The person below me has been to Africa (where in Africa?)
-
No I have never been to Africa, but it is a possibility if I do what I am hoping to, taking a gap year before going to study at Uni.
The person below me likes to walk around in the rain...
Yes I am one of the only people I know who love to dance in the rain, but when my friend gets hyper she will join me. I just love the feeling of getting absolutely soaked and not even caring!
The person below me is under alot of pressure and has a lot of work to do.
-
I always have a lot of work to do, but thankfully I don't feel too under pressure right now. You're in school though, right, Becks? I always felt under pressure in high school and college - I always took advanced courses and took on more coursework each semester than I really should have.
My heart goes out to you - I remember that feeling of never being quite finished - like there was always something more I should be doing. I hated that feeling. And it still haunts me in my dreams sometimes. Then I wake up and am so relieved I'm not in school anymore! So you have that to look forward to, at least. ;) Seriously, I'm really thankful for my college education - it has truly made all the best things in my life possible.
The person below me is going to a fund-raiser for a good cause in the near future.
-
No, unless bidding on (and losing :( ) an item in the BBM auction sorta counts....
The person below me is having a little trouble adjusting to the time change.
-
Sure enough. I like this change, however it feels like 4:30 p.m. instead of 3:30 p.m., and I'd really, really, *really* like to head home in a half hour. :P
The person below me is feeling a little under the weather today.
-
Maybe a little. Had a bad case of food poisoning last week, induced by one egg salad sandwich consumed on Monday evening. I got really sick over the course of the week, and am on the mend now, but still feel a little vulnerable and tire easily.
The person below me is dressing up for Halloween tomorrow.
-
Sorry to hear that, Scott.
And no, I'm not dressing up tonight - did that Saturday night and got my fill. I'm just wearing a cute Target t-shirt that's orange and has a black scary tree with a black cat in it and jeans while I take Will trick-or-treating in his Spider-Man (with muscles!) garb. Ed will stay home and man the candy bowl.
Ooh - candy bowl - that gives me an idea for a poll!
The person below me doesn't much like horror movies.
-
True. I prefer love stories and stories about real life. :)
The person below me sometimes feels like he/she just doesn't fit in.
-
if you're talking about dress sizes...then yes, (thats why I'm on my diet)....
Talking about parties, events and such.......yeah, sometimes, but I either leave or take over, then people can fit in with me........
the person below me doesnt need to get drunk to enjoy a party
-
Who would answer this question with false? :)
But it's really true. I barely drink alcohol at all since the one and only time I had so much that I felt horrible (spent half the night in the bathroom). Since then I'm always afraid I might get this horrible, sick feeling again and am extremely cautious with alcohol. Additionally there's nothing better than Coke for me. Simply tastes better than any alcohol drink.
The person below me didn't attend any Halloween events at all this year.
-
Thats right....we dont have Haloween over here in Australia....but I did read yesterday, that it is starting to catch on, and there were a few haloween parties around the cities......
And I am the same as you as far as alcohol is concerned.....i get sick too, so rather than risk that, I stick to soft drink....or water now, that I am on my diet....
the person below me loves all the finger food they have at parties....
-

At her Halloween party every year, my friend serves baked gnarled, bony-jointed"fingers" made out of dough and an almond for the fingernail. They are always a gross-out hit.
The person below me has at least one small, visually-beautiful spot in their home that just feels so good to look at. Describe it. :)
-

the person below me loves all the finger food they have at parties....
When I asked that question, i didnt mean "finger" food like that which you describe, although, I do think for halloween it is a great idea....
Not sure if you call it "finger food" over there, but we use that term to describe, food that you can pick up with your fingers, that we usually have at parties, like crackers with cheese, or dips, or little sausage rolls, etc etc.....
-

Oh I love fingerfood!!!!
The person below me has no clue what kind of finger food Dutch people serve.... ;)
-
TRUE, I don't have a clue! Tell us, tell us!
The person below me would rather have very hot weather than very cold.
-
False. I prefer to be shivering than sticky and sweaty on a hot, humid day.

(Sorry if this was repeated):
The person below me likes to sing in the shower.
-
True. I do some of my best work there!
The person below me wears themed underwear (at least sometimes...)
(http://www.allaboardtoys.com/assets/product_imagesm/FL-184.jpg)

HAHAHAHAHA :laugh: Over my dead body!
The person below me feels comfortable wearing no bra if girl, or no underwear if boy.
-
HAHAHAHAHA :laugh: Over my dead body!

The person below me feels comfortable wearing no bra if girl, or no underwear if boy.
Good Lord, at my age?? :o I'd have someone's eye out if I turned round too fast!
The person below me has professional massages (and will tell me if they're worth the money... :))
-
I never had a professional massage and, at least for me, it would probably not be worth the money as I'm too ticklish...
The person below has no more wisdom teeth (I haven't since yesterday...). :P
-
I still have wisdom teeth .. :)
The person below me has made at least one substantial change in their life recently (changing the kind of cereal you normally have also counts ..) ;)
-
Oh yeah, a BIGGIE. I told my 'Ennis' (Jacob for those who read my blog when I had it running on 'daily thoughts') to stay outa my life, for many many reasons. Don't leave no sign as Aguirre would say. Big sea-change in perspective and a moment of total clarity for the first time in 15 years, and a kind of peace. If ya can't fix it... :'(
The person below me doesn't like marmite / vegemite or any of those icky meaty 'spread' things on their toast...
-
I always thought that the name "marmite" sounded like the toxic result of a chemical reaction gone seriously wrong .. ;D
So I guess the answer to the question is No.
No marmite on my toast, thanks. :)
The person below me has or would consider having a snake for a pet.
-
Only if it was green and purple and soft and fuzzy and has polka dots on it.
The person below me secretly loves Barry Manilow.

Oh yes, at least once a month. I'm seeing 'The Good Shepherd' tomorrow.
The person below me has gotten jiggy in a very unusual place, and will tell us where that was ;D. (Mine's a golf course - long story... ::))
-
The funniest story I ever heard about "jiggy" in unusual places.....
My brother in law and his wife were visiting his parents home, and he took her to the downstairs toilet, he sat on the closed toilet seat and had her sit on his lap for "jiggy"....was going fine, till the plastic toilet seat cover split, pinching his backside.....his yells were heard all over the house, and of course the "jiggy" never happened......
the person below me loves to go to bed and listen to the rain on the roof.....
-
:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
I live in an attic flat and I LOVE the sound of the rain on my roof / bedroom window as I'm going to sleep. We've had more than our fair share of the damn stuff in the UK in the past week! >:(
The person below me has had a loved one sing / play a piece of music just for them...
-
No, never. I just try to picture my husband singing or playing music for me :laugh:. Unthinkable, he would rather undergo dental surgery.
But once I had a BF who wrote poems for me. I dropped him after a short relationship. See? It doesn't pay for guys to be romantic ;).
The person below me plans a big trip this year (more than 3 hours flight or longer than 2 weeks).

The person below me likes to take long walks on the beach
-
I definitely like it, but the last time I did that was 3 years ago .. :-\
The person below me does not believe in soulmates or romantic mumbo jumbo .. :P
-
Yes and no. I do believe in soulmates (who doesn't?), but I don't believe in romantic mumbo-jumbo :P. I prefer a man who changes diapers ten times to a man who brings me roses.
The person below me has nothing BBM related displayed in his/her house (no poster, no postcard, no pics from Brokie meetings, whatsoever).
-
Guilty here. In my house nothing hints to my secret obsession... ;D
The person below me usually wears his/her heart on their sleeve. :)

Hmm..not usually. But I do have my moments! ;)
The person below me loves going fishing.

-
The person below me loves going fishing.

Naw, just went fishing once and I thought it was boring. (But I love seeing J and E in TS2 right above me)
The person below me wishes to meet a special new person.

Quite right I do! And presto, or I'll turn into a desperate (semi) housewife soon!
The person below me has dated 2 (or more) persons at the same time :o
-
Nope .. one at a time so far .. ;)
The person below me has a "Things to be accomplished before I die" list that they refer to every so often. :)
-
True: 1) read all the books I keep buying!; 2) achieve serenity.
Not sure the first will be easier than the second. :-\
The person below me prefers to buy organic food whenever possible.

No, I would like to, but they are expensive and I don't really believe that nowadays anything could be totally chemical and pesticide free. There is too much of that stuff out there.
The person below me gets sad sometimes. (This is supposed to be a fun thread, isn't it, oh well)

We all get sad sometimes, aint that the way it goes ..

Okay..enough rambling ..:)
The person below me has been dumped or has dumped someone over the phone .. 8)
-
Nope. Always been face-to-face for me, either way. Dumping my first long-term boyfriend was the hardest, and I still remember just the way he said as I was leaving his house, after being so hard and cruel at first (he was the one who had cheated, and we both knew it, but I was breaking up with him because I wanted to see another guy exclusively), "Please... Don't do this to us."
Come to think of it, though - all the times I've been dumped (there were three), they just stopped calling, and I pressed to test, so to speak - I kinda forced them to say it to my face.
Good times.
Anyway...

Since I have not yet gotten the chance to ride a high-startle point horse like...(http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i285/Lucise/Animes/55898682.gif),

Now, if you said the choice was between 50 years without clinical depression, or 90 years, 40 of which of those were with it, I'd take the former.

Yes. I don't like the idea of being "underground" and I don't like the idea of people coming by and "looking" at me while I'm lying dead. LOL--I know that I won't know the difference, but I just don't like those ideas while I'm alive. So--I do wish to be cremated and have my ashes scattered.

-
Janice,
I had the same issue with my daughters but not $400, thank God.
Call the phone company and sign up for an unlimited text message package. Then you can ask for it to be retroactive. Sometimes they can do that -- maybe for part of the month, anyway. It won't solve the whole problem, but it might reduce your bill a little and definitely take care of any texting charges she's incurred which will appear on your next phone bill. BTW, adding unlimited texting wasn't that much more.
=========================================
No new car for me, my Honda CR-V's just fine for now.

One time, a few years ago.....I got home from my walk. It was summertime, and I had built up a sweat, big time, so I went to take a shower. Before going upstairs, I happened to notice my neighbors in the house behind us, having a family bbq, their back yard was full of people.
Got to the bathroom, made sure the blinds were shut, and got in the shower. For some unknow to me reason, Celine Dion's "It's All Coming Back To Me Now" started to run through my head, and I started to sing it.....very loudly, and dramatically.
I got out of the shower to discover that while I had pulled the blinds shut, I had left the window open, and serenaded my neighbors.
