The person below me game......

[streetmorrisart]

I do enjoy baking, though my taste buds are traveling more toward savory treats as I get older. Stuff like fudge brownies or chocolate chip cookies from scratch—mere minutes to prep, sling in the oven and get on with another task. Making a beautiful Sachertorte though, that’s a bit more of a project!

The person below me also thinks this life is all they’ve got to enjoy and is tired of “I don’t have time” having become of badge of honor, an implication of importance and a resurfacing of this country’s repressed puritanical beginnings.

 

[NYEric]

False, I rather have come to grips with the fact that I have no time because I'm trying to do [enjoy] a large variety of things.
TPBM will start an indoor herb/fragrant plant garden this month.

 

[streetmorrisart]

I’d like to, but it’s doubtful at this point—guarding my bits of space since I can get most of the herbs I cook with inexpensively at an international food store here.

(By the way Eric, that’s a good kind of busy! Not knocking that. It’s the people who look down their noses at you these days for making the time to enjoy things like baking that bother me. If you’re working multiple jobs to keep food in your kid’s mouth, I’ll accept “too busy”, but mostly it’s needlessly self-important people who tend to pull that excuse out for one reason or another.)

The person below me is desperately trying to pare down their pre-order list for an upcoming show.

nope, learned self-control finally after the third round of almost every plant dead around ten years or so ago (insect invasion after a move which led every bug to hop onto every other plant in the boxes) - there is a small itch for certain plants i'd like, but i'd rather have all my loans paid off so I can get a 'smaller' job. many people prefer having their lives filled to over-capacity because when they slow down they realize how meaningless much of it is. others just think everyone else is doing it so maybe i'm supposed to also. I scrape out the time from work to go check out lots of native orchids and take pictures, no matter how much employer would rather have me at work, or resting up from a hot day so that I can go back to work; would rather be out checking out natural beauty. ... by the way, when the heck is spring supposed to get here?! i'd love to find a calypso this spring....

tpbm loooooooooooooooves things like donuts and ice cream and makes homemade ice cream sometimes, but avoids it like the plague so they don't get fat!

 

[rdlsreno]

False I like them but I don't avoid them. I work near a bakery.

TPBM like Chinese dumplings!


Ramon

 

[NYEric]

True, Ha-gow!
Unfortunately, I haven't been free to go to Chinatown in a while.
TPBM has started working out to get in better shape for summer.

 

[eOrchids]

False! Been working out all year long.

TPBM is thankful it's Friday!

 

[heliomum]

True as heck! I can't wait for Fidays.




TPBM often travels cross-country.

 

[likespaphs]

false, but i have a friend who is right now.

tpbm gets to plant plugs (baby plants) today, lots and lots of plugs...

 

[Heather]

Nope, that'd be you, my friend - so sorry. ity:

TPBM has totally been neglecting her plants and needs to give them some love (and fertilizer!) today!

 

[Gcroz]

False, I'm not neglecting as apparently my Milts are suffering from too much TLC. That, of course, my picture can attest to.

TPBM likes to whisper "sweet nothings" to their orchids in hopes that the plants will love them more.

 

[cnycharles]

False! Mine get more 'tough love' than anything, so if they can make it on my shelf(ves), then they could probably be cast on 'survivor'. (as long as they don't make them eat that garbage stuff)

TPBM lives where it will soon be Fall

 

[likespaphs]

false. if it's like previous years, soon will be spring...

tpbm still has several thousands plugs to plant.

 

[Heather]

False - that's still you. ity:


True, if spring means 2mos. from now. sigh....
MA sucks, RI is another story...

TPBM has to make a sign today that says "no eating the kingianum" (damn cat!) and "no jumping on the puzzle!"

let's revise: TPBM needs to teach her cat to read! :sob:
OR find a new home for her cat? any takers? She's cute - don't let that fool ya...

 

[Park Bear]

false..no cat anymore....Heather a parrot is much easier,tey'll stay on your shoulder and not bother the plants.

tpbm is on spring break with the family like I am (I'm at the Smokey mtns now...and later going to Panama City,FL)

 

[Heather]

False.

TPBM hates Park Bear for being on vacation right now....sorry dude, but it's true.

 

[cnycharles]

well, not hate, but as I had to work both days this weekend running around sprinkling wilting plants, some real time off sounds sort of nice...

tpbm is debt-free except for the house

ah, plant-chomping and puzzle-jumping; sure signs of feline jealiosity for not paying attention to 'then one who must be attended to'!

one former apartment mate had a springer spaniel that would eat anything left up on the counter; she would jump up and drag it down. I decided to 'fix things' one time by leaving a bunch of chopped up onion there and figured the dog would take a bite and change it's mind and maybe learn a lesson.
....nope, the dog ate the whole onion. I almost felt sorry for it until it ate my next loaf of bread

Semi-true, I have no debts at all.:clap::clap::rollhappy::rollhappy:


TPBM likes Baklava.

 

[NYEric]

True, but the only place around to get it at a good price is in Astoria, such a train ride away!
TPBM has eaten marshmallows for dinner!
