The Jelly Below Me - Part 45?

TJBM made it here first…

True.
TJBM is prepared for a prosperous, healthy and happy New Year.

Not sure about the entire year but today looks promising.

TJBM has read this heartening editorial. http://www.nytimes.com/2012/12/25/opinion/bruni-these-wretched-vessels.html?ref=frankbruni

Yes, thanks for sharing.

TJBM is getting ready for the weekend.

Kind of, chilling now but maybe will work a bit
TJBM Loves red underwear

Actually I like purple.:-)
Thanks Bill…you’re a good sport!

TJBM has a favorite item of comfort clothing like a sweat jacket or bathrobe

Thanks @DrBill !

I sure do. A black and grey checked sweatshirt that fits me perfectly, and that’s no mean feat cause I’m a small guy. Feels like I was born in it!

TJBM has a favorite pair of shoes that they will describe.

Not really. I can’t find any shoes that fit me well. I spend most of my time barefoot.

TJBM likes an odd food, which they will specify.

I do like odd food and I’ll try anything once, the most unusual so far was bear sausage & seaweed sheets.

TJBM has one relative that drives them batty, they will specify which and why.

My cousin. Probably because she’s 13, but she’s obnoxious, and she texts me all the time. Even if I don’t reply.
Tjbm is going to breakfast with their mother.

I did have brunch with my mother, She is getting up later and later as she ages.

False. I got an ashtray, a Tibetan singing bowl, a set of mugs decorated with Day of the Dead sugar skulls, a pair of new Adidas, toe socks, Pilot rollerball pens, and some liquor truffles. Boosh!

@gailcalled Interesting piece. Couldn’t disagree more; I can’t stand mind-body dualism. Seems like the very subject matter of the movie serves to bely the author’s point, in that what O’Brien wants to do to “surpass” his body is to experience a way of being as a body he hasn’t experienced before, by having sex.

TJBM didn’t get enough sleep last night.

Couldn’t be truer. I never get enough sleep. But that’s ok, plenty of time for sleep when I’m dead.

TJBM has a tattoo that I’ve never seen. And will show me. ^_^

False. No tattoos.

Can’t remember the last time I did that.

TJBM is a registered organ donor

False.
TJBM has eaten a worm.

Many times! Well, maybe not many, but a few. Fourth grade we read the book “How to Eat Fried Worms”. I was the example used to show the squeamish girls that you wouldn’t die if you did it.

TJBM would buy @bob_ ‘s poetic t-shirt

True! My brother is colorblind and loves to wear funny t-shirts about it; that’s perfect for him. Maybe I’ll get it printed up as a late Chanukkah gift. Good call :)

TJBM collects something interesting, and would share what it is with us.

I have five and wouldn’t mind more…

TJBM needs stimulants.

Just poured my 2nd cup of dark roast. Up, up, and awaaay!

TJBM would love to be a radio DJ

TJBM calls this a hoagie.

TJBM wants to steal some of my coconut marshmallows I’m eating

How To Train Your Dragon.
Tjbm knows how to train their dragon.

The Godfather.

TJBM is good at math.

As long as my trusty calculator is nearby. Solar man. lol

TJBM thinks @bob_ s legs are too skinny.

No, I think his body and head are too large.

TJBM sometimes forgets to put in the “TJBM” line in.

Well, I am getting on in age, sometimes things escape me. Or maybe it’s really really late onset of ADD

TJBM is very astute when it comes to picking up others manipulative communication styles
flattery will get you nowhere haha

True, I suppose, which is interesting because I myself am a natural-born-people-pleaser / brown-noser extraordinaire. I’m even more astute at picking up on passive-aggressive comments as it’s a regional style of communication where I live.

TJBM is very direct and doesn’t beat around the bush.

99.5% of the time yes. The remaining .5% isn’t worth the energy expenditure. lol

TJBM has a cuckoo clock from the black forest.

No, but wish I did.

TJBM has a grandfather clock.

I wish! Grandfather clocks are so cool! I wish there was a grandfather clock somewhere in the family that I could inherit. I’d probably be better off inheriting the cuckoo clock that’s been in our house for forty years, anyway… It’d take less space! ;)

TJBM is a pack rat. I try not to be, because it causes so much stress, but stuff just seems to accumulate…

I’m a terrible pack rat, no matter how many times I berate myself for it.

TJBM has a busy week ahead.

Yes, I certainly do and I am pumped up and ready to start!
TJBM Has a wild pash on another jelly, even fantasizing about them, in strange ways!

Yes! I like them slightly sizzled and hot, or plopped into a nice warm drink so they brush against my lips as I sip and drink and try and catch them with my tongue.
TJBM Is shocked by some of the things they read on Fluther

I am and I have now mastered the art of only dealing with Fluther by peeking through my fingers as I hold my hands up to cover my eyes.

TJBM has probably now wondered…but how does he type if he is covering his eyes with his hands??

Not at all, I understand the term ambidickstrous
TJBM Is in awe of themselves

Hahaha…sometimes, but I wouldn’t say it’s a state of being. lol

TJBM had a strange encounter today

Hmm… If you consider my piano teacher’s 5-year-old son who has a sweet little crush on me “strange”... then yes. He and his sister put on a hilarious puppet show for me. It was made up as they went, with wonderful 5-year-old nonsensical things thrown in all over the place, but the 8-year-old made them seem intended. It had a king, a queen, a princess, a knight in shining armor, and a lightning bug the size of the princess.

TJBM has a cute story from their kids (or nieces/nephews, or the kid down the street, or anyone really) that they would like to share with us. <<sits back and eats popcorn, waiting for a fun story>>

I want to tell two, because I’m kind of bursting.

My son is 4 years old. Right after Christmas, one of the hubs’ friends came over for dinner. He asks E, “So, did Santa bring you a lot of presents?”
E gets all pensive-looking and says, “No, I’m pretty sure it was Mama.”

He he he… So proud.

OK, so he played one of those crane machine things at a Beef O’Bradys when he and my husband went out to lunch.

When I came home from work, he gave me what he won: a little necklace with a blue plastic flower pendant. He kissed it and handed it to me, and said “Mama, now you can take kisses to work with you!”

Now he kisses it every night before he goes to bed, and asks me all the time “Did you run out of necklace kisses? Do you need more?”

TJBM wants to share a story, too!

Aww!

nope
TJBM does their shopping at Castner-Knott.

Never heard of them.

@Seek_Kolinahr Awww….precious!

Nope – going to church this evening.

Uhh sort of. Most of them are too reserved in my opinion.
The Jelly below me has illegible handwriting.

All of my forms of handwriting are equally awesome, and most of them are legible. Unless I’m writing in Futhark and you’re unfamiliar with runes. ^_^

TJBM wants a cough drop?

False, I just want my coffee

TJBM is thinking of moving somewhere new

TJBM had heard of One Direction before.

True/

TJBM uses a forward slash instead of a period to end a sentence/

False.

TJBM is sitting outside in the sun

Erg, I wish!! Up here in Minnesota, we have a long, dark winter. I’m getting cabin fever. NOT happy that we have 2 or 3 months of this left. I’m taking up cross-country skiing to make up for it. :)

TJBM actually likes winter. 0.o

False. I’m going to enjpy hanging around the house today and being cozy in this cold weather.

TJBM is a vegetarian.

Never and I wouldn’t mind some of that pie.
TJBM thinks that vegetarianism is a lousy idea.

Nope- I’m a notoriously early riser- always early.

TJBM has a quiet evening at home planned.

The Jelly below me loves looking at the history of things.

Depends on what subject.

TJBM loves history itself.

Sort of… Some eras just need a really good teacher to teach about them. Other eras I just pick up a book and inhale it. :D

I feel like I should remember who created this game because I was around back then. I took a long break and then started over a few months ago.

Hmm… Hoping the place where I usually get Laffy Taffy is open this afternoon, because otherwise I’ll be standing around with nothing to do for an hour, but I don’t know if I really want the Laffy Taffy.

TJBM hates having to take the bus.

I wish there was a bus system worth using in this city. Unfortunately what is a 30 minute drive for me in the AM would be over 2 hours on the bus, and I would still have to walk over a mile to get to my office at the end of it. Sorry, Carbon Footprint.

TJBM is lucky enough to live in the realm of Public Transportation.

True only if you mean a bike or dog sled. Even finding a taxi here is like stumbling on the fountain of youth.

TJBM has neon green moss in their trees

Nope, all the moss here looks like gray public hair hanging from the trees

TJBM wonders why florists sell Spanish Moss as “decoration”, as it looks like crap.

This jelly thinks she knows what Spanish Moss would look like in a flower shop, but she can’t say she has an opinion about whether it looks good or not.

TJBM lives in a region where Spanish Moss grows naturally. I don’t, and I think it’s pretty in pictures…

I have to drive about 45 minutes but there are some people in the town I live in that grow moss in their trees

TJBM noticed that @Tropical_Willie didn’t post anything the jelly below him!!!!

OOPPSIE

TJBM thinks internet provider costs are murderous.

Heh, yeah, in my dreams or when I die. Dying is a great way to save money. lol

TJBM has good credit inspite of their debt

I don’t have a debt atm. :)

I felt absolutely clueless until I got into a conversation with some of my teenage friends. I guess I understand it better than a lot of people my age.

True, true… never too late they say?

TJBM prefers savory snacks to sweet snacks

Mmmm…50/50 I made a decadent pistachio ice cream sundae the other night, it was heavenly.

TJBM wants to go outside for some exercise but it is too damn cold

Nope, it’s too am late 1.30am but secretly I think I would exercise better at this hour
TJBM Has chocolates hidden around the house in odd places

I probably would if I were in a different stage of life, if you know what I mean. :) You know, I bet my mom has some chocolate hidden somewhere around here….
TJBM enjoys receiving snail mail, in stead of impersonal emails.

I love snail mail. My high school friends and I wrote letters back and forth every day, instead of talking on the phone. It was awesome. I would love to have pen pals again.

TJBM has had a pen pal from another country.

Yes, years ago I had a few.

TJBM enjoys watching nature documentaries.

Sometimes.

TJBM is in agreement with me that this thread is slowing down. So sad.
