The Jelly Below Me (TJBM) #52. Are you this jelly?

Asked by Strauss (23835points) January 8th, 2014

It’s time again for the next edition of the ever popular…well, you get the idea…

As copied from TJBM #51:

The game rules are:

Respond to the question/statement from the poster above.
Ex: I might make the statement:
The Jelly below me drinks 10 cups of coffee daily

The response might be:
False! I hate coffee or,
True!

Then they might state:
The Jelly below me has blond hair.

There are no right or wrong answers, so be as creative as your heart desires.

Happily, this is becoming the Never Ending TJBM Game. Tradition now suggests that a jelly re-start the question when we reach about 500 responses. Hopefully almost all the Jellies will join in.

Enjoy!

I don’t know about a date with George Clooney. He’s not really my type (although his mom could really sing!)

DWW25921's avatar

If you only knew…

TJBM eats food from street vendors the world over. (Corollary: TJBM has an iron stomach.)

TJBM has had a pet mouse or rat.

DWW25921's avatar

No but I do have 3 cats. It’s a bit of an irony being an avid dog person. Cats choose their owners and these refuse to run away… Probably because I feed them.

Yes, mover (#2) and shaker (after #100)...

Strauss's avatar

It’s called a grill and a bun.

Naw. I think I got sick eating hot dogs too many times. Then I started reading ingredients and that polished me off as far as tubesteaks go.

TJBM likes to eat vegetables fresh picked, right out in the garden.

Jonesn4burgers's avatar

I just spent a bundle buying seeds online even though I was getting VERY good deals. Of course, I got some seeds to plant milkweed for the monarchs, and some extra sunflowers, lettuce, and mint for the forest grazers.
TJBM had someone hold their hand this week.

geeky_mama's avatar

TJBM has done something super embarrassing on a first date, and will share the experience with us.

snowberry's avatar

I went out with a guy my mom set me up with. He was a mess. Had a knob on his steering wheel so he could steer with one hand (and grope me with the other). I sat mashed against the window. There is a reason he couldn’t get a date by himself.

TJBM will tell us another interesting story of their first date.

Coloma's avatar

Not really a date but when I was about 14 a friend and I ended up at the river one hot summer evening with a couple of goofy kids we picked up at a bowling alley. Said goofy kid #1 proceeded to attack my neck like an octopuss, leaving hickey suction marks. Gah! He was so gross!

A heavy breather with the mouth of an eel. lol

TJBM has to go from one end of the county to the other this afternoon on errands.

reijinni's avatar

nope
TJBM always forgets to buy something from the grocery store.

Jonesn4burgers's avatar

DWW25921's avatar

TJBM does things the hard way just for the challenge of it.

Strauss's avatar

Sometimes. For example, I’d rather slice and prepare fresh veggies than open a can and warm them up.

TJBM likes healthy food.

Jonesn4burgers's avatar

I don’t know. Soil is risky, even toxic. Same with water, and air. Genes are manipulated. Medications, fertilizers, additives, undeclared alterations of all sorts. I’m not sure any healthy foods exist anymore.
TJBM sanitizes EVERYTHING.

DWW25921's avatar

Nope, I’m a pig with no shame, wallowing blissfully in my own putrid filth.

Jonesn4burgers's avatar

Yup.
TJBM wants to get some o’ that sweet gorilla lurve, YEEHAW!

Jonesn4burgers's avatar

The baby didn’t make it.
I LUV raspberry jam, it is so perfect for licking.

rojo's avatar

TJ actually likes butter and banana slices on his peanut butter sandwiches.
TJBM won an award as a youngster that still brings them pleasure when they think about it.

Strauss's avatar

If “youngster” includes young adult. At age 23 I was in a marching band (not a school band) that won the national championship.

TJBM is a “youngster”.

DWW25921's avatar

If youngster means closer to 40 than 30 than sure…

TJBM Doesn’t get that one really complicated thing… you know… With the big words…

Jonesn4burgers's avatar

Uhhhhh, whuh?
TJBM has their very own “I love me” jacket, with their name stenciled in it.

DWW25921's avatar

It’s a shirt.

TJBM understands quantum psychics.

picante's avatar

I can’t even spell kwantum fizzicks.

ibstubro's avatar

I’m semi-retired. Sunday’s the next day I’ll have to ‘come home from work’. Sorry.

snowberry's avatar

Like it? They’re OK, had that stuff before, but I don’t go out of my way to drink it, although I used to.

Absolutely not. I am a die-hard carnivore and I need to have a big steak at least twice a month.

TJBM eats at lease one type of food each day from all categories of the USDA food pyramid.

Coloma's avatar

I try. Dinner was an apple, cheese, pistachio nuts and grapes. lol

DWW25921's avatar

Yeah kinda. I need a dentist. My insurance was cancelled and it included dental.

TJBM Will one fine day, rule the world with an iron fist! Mua ha ha ha ha !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jonesn4burgers's avatar

TJBM is just dieing to tell us he IS planning a takeover of the world, mua hahaha! (only to lose it to invading aliens)

DWW25921's avatar

I would appease the masses with free PEZ dispensers and while they’re filling the dispensers I’d swoop in!

TJBM Probably has a much better idea… (sigh)

Jonesn4burgers's avatar

Nope. I’m totally waiting for my PEZ ration.
TJBM is okay with a ruler who gives us PEZ.

reijinni's avatar

somewhat

DWW25921's avatar

I don’t have one of those around here. I don’t have… Anything… around here.

TJBM Would go nuts in the country.

Coloma's avatar

False, I moved back to city limits last year after decades of rural living. I hate the city, nosey neighbors, traffic, and this is still a small town. I like peace, space and privacy.

TJBM has nosey neighbors

Jonesn4burgers's avatar

Only the squirrels. They sit on branches outide my window and watch tv and wait for me to throw out some food. The other day, after I threw out some pieces of pb sandwich, they ran back up to the branches to watch The Price Is Right while they munched. The guy next door couldn’t give a rat’s patootie what goes on over here.
TJBM would enjoy having a picnic out back with my squirrel friends.

picante's avatar

Yes I would! I love picnics.
TJBM is very happy to see the weekend on the horizon.

TJBM loves Sriracha!

Coloma's avatar

TJBM likes thrills, like standing right on the edge of a cliff, and taking a deep breath or two.

Coloma's avatar

Very true! One of my most exhilarating moments was lying face down over a huge cliff in the snow at Bryce Canyon Park in Utah a few years ago. Fly with the eagles…. :-)

TJBM has been up in a hot air balloon

Strauss's avatar

Not yet, but it that is on my bucket list.

TJBM has a bucket list.

Coloma's avatar

Not really anymore, but I am always open for new experiences.
@Yetanotheruser Ballooning is amazing! A must do! ;-)

TJBM knows somebody named Jorgan

Jonesn4burgers's avatar

Nope.
TJBM is looking at the orange paste on their fingers, and remembering why they haven’t eaten cheese puffs in a while.

Strauss's avatar

No cheese puffs; my snacking today has been on the sweet side—Frosted shredded wheat minis.

TJBM is absent minded today.

rojo's avatar

What? Sorry I missed that.
TJBM is looking forward to bikini season already.

Strauss's avatar

No…I haven’t.

TJBM wonders who was the foo that asked how long TJBM threads can go on?! :)

rojo's avatar

“To Infinity…....And Beyond!”
TJBM color matches their M&Ms before eating them.

Jonesn4burgers's avatar

Tee hee. Sometimes I do. One time I bought about three pounds of peanot M&Ms, saved out all the green ones, put them into one of the bags, and gifted them to my boyfriend. It worked!
TJBM feels like having a couple of green M&Ms tonight.

ibstubro's avatar

Nah. Got some this morning. And yesterday morning. I’m a morning perversi person.

I match my “M’s and M’s” (as Gramma used to say). Segregate, then pair and eat. Never end with Red. Yuck.

TJBM thinks guys look great in hot pink and lavender.

DWW25921's avatar

Maybe in the 80’s… and certain parts of town…

TJBM Hates thinking about boogers.

Coloma's avatar

TJBM bought a purple shirt today

Jonesn4burgers's avatar

No. The purple scarf I ordered last month arrived last week. Looks great with my purple coat.
TJBM has someone peeping in their window, right now.

Bluefreedom's avatar

I hope not but if they are, they’re trespassing on my military installation and I’m going to have to arrest them. Just looked out the window…...false alarm.

TJBM is secretly a wild person in the bedroom but you wouldn’t know it to look at them.

Coloma's avatar

Haha…well, given my entertainer type personality and bold and witty approach I think it would be easy enough to assume I am creative and high energy in the bedroom too.

TJBM thinks foot fetishes are gross stay the hell away from my feet lol

DWW25921's avatar

True. I’ve only rubbed 2 sets of feet in my life. Never again. They were clean too. Just not my thing.

TJBM Has been craving string cheese.

Coloma's avatar

I always have string cheese in the fridge. It is my go to snack with an apple almost every day.

TJBM has had honey walnut shrimp OMG!

ibstubro's avatar

Doesn’t sound the least bit tempting to me, sorry.

TJBM still wears a wristwatch, and has a new one since Dec, 24th, 2013.

Coloma's avatar

False. I hate wristwatches, Does anybody really know what time it is? lol

TJBM can tell time quite accurately by the light of day.

DWW25921's avatar

Sure, I’ll go with that… It’s about half past food and a quarter till nap!

TJBM Likes to eat fresh snow.

ibstubro's avatar

No longer. I know how polluted the air is, and I can’t get it out of my head that those pollutants must be in the snow. If someone made me a fresh batch of Almond Snow Ice Cream, however, I would not turn it down. I have friends/neighbors that get their household water from an above ground spring. Now, that just freaks my gizzard!

TJBM likes using nonsense words and phrases that are still perfectly understandable.

Coloma's avatar

True. I have many little nonsensical phrases and meaning that are only known unto myself, and my animals. lol

TJBM is cleaning house this fine saturday morning and can’t wait to be done and go outside.

Dutchess_III's avatar

Now Coloma has done laid a guilt trip on me!!

ibstubro's avatar

What is this “cleaning the house” of which you speak? My house is brick, I don’t believe it would benefit from much ‘cleaning’.

Vacuum is all about you, you. There’s no such word as vacume.!

TJBM thinks “guilt” is for losers.

Dutchess_III's avatar

No, actually. I think the potential of possible guilt helps us do the right things sometimes.

TJBM is under a Fire Weather advisory until 6 p.m.

Coloma's avatar

Not that I know of but we Californians are in a serious drought situation, it is so dry, bloody nose dry, cat sneezing dry, pushing 80 degrees dry. We are in serious trouble out west yes we are and our fire danger is extreme.

TJBM will do a rain dance for their fluther pal Coloma.

Dutchess_III's avatar

OK. Don’t look.

TJBM is glad he or she ate the bowl of Honey Nut Cheerios because this most recent batch of Experimental Mushrooms didn’t turn out so good.

TJBM also likes shiny things.

geeky_mama's avatar

Some shiny things. I’m kinda picky.

TJBM is a picky eater.

reijinni's avatar

TJBM is willing to show Harper the door.

DWW25921's avatar

That’s right! Whatever it is, it’s gone!

ibstubro's avatar

I don’t let dropping something on the floor stop me from eating it, but I do not recall a time that my lips or tongue actually touched the floor.

TJBM grows weary of shaving something.

Jonesn4burgers's avatar

Nahhhhhhh, I’ve just switched to braiding. LOL
TJBM wants to see proof of that. Too bad.

DWW25921's avatar

The proof, is in the puddin.

Close enough I shoulda been there!

TJBM loves Record Bin Roulette.

Jonesn4burgers's avatar

TJBM is OCD, and wants to fix that top line for me…................REAL BAD.

DWW25921's avatar

Kinda but I’ll refrain…

TJBM Doesn’t let body odor come between them and a good time.

Bluefreedom's avatar

On the contrary, I prefer someone who does believe in bathing regularly and smells good also.

TJBM recognizes the merits of showering with another person and not just to help clean each other.

reijinni's avatar

get me another person and we’ll talk
TJBM would rather chop wood when the weather’s warm.

mattbrowne's avatar

Well, I’d rather buy ready to use wood chopped by machines…
TJBM estimates that the money we spend on prisons would allow us to buy at least ten musical instruments for every kid growing up plus the salary for the teachers.
TJBTJBM is puzzled like I am that our society prefers prisons over buying musical instruments for every kid growing up.

Strauss's avatar

I don’t know, @mattbrowne, but I would guess that you are correct. What is reflected in your statement: world wide? U. S.? Europe?

Since TJAM pretty much co-opted my TJBM statement, I will accede—this time!

“TJBM is puzzled like I am that our society prefers prisons over buying musical instruments for every kid growing up.”

mattbrowne's avatar

Well, @Yetanotheruser, just take a look at this picture to see which country I’m talking about

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_incarceration_rate

No country on Earth has a higher incarceration rate than the US.

In Germany, even small towns have youth music schools in addition to normal schools where students can rent instruments for free, see http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musikschule

There’s no American concept for this. The article

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music_school describes a different concept which is
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Konservatorium in German.

Coloma's avatar

TJBM notices that TJAM got seriously sidetracked.

mattbrowne's avatar

True.
TJBM acknowledges that the TJATJATJAM asked TJATJAM the question: What is reflected in your statement: world wide?

Coloma's avatar

What? Only on my 2nd cup of coffee, brain not fully activated yet, lets keep it simple shall we? lol

TJBM cannot engage in intense discussion within the first hour of being awake

DWW25921's avatar

Not even maybe.

TJBM Enjoys basking in the hilarity of the failures of others.

Bluefreedom's avatar

It’s true that I enjoy mindless buffoonery just as much as the next person, yes.

TJBM believes that magician Criss Angel is overrated when it comes to his popularity and performances.

DWW25921's avatar

So overrated I’ve never heard of her.

TJBM wants a kitten.

geeky_mama's avatar

No thanks, we have two cats already.

TJBM is grateful to have tomorrow off work. (MLK Day, Yay!)

ibstubro's avatar

TJBM would trade 3 waffles and a hand job for a new stroller.

DWW25921's avatar

I do flea markets. I have all the stuff I need, and than some. Want a box of crap?

TJBM wants a box of random flea market crap.

Jonesn4burgers's avatar

Uh, are you the one on ebay with all the mystery boxes?
TJBM likes to cruise the “weird” listings on ebay for toy ideas.

DWW25921's avatar

No, but they sell like crazy at my flea market.

TJBM Sometimes plays with kid toys with wild abandon.

ibstubro's avatar

I recently bought a nubby, clear ball at Goodwill for 19 cents. It was for a friend’s cat. When I got there, I could not stop playing with the ball.

TJBM hates honeycombs.

DWW25921's avatar

No I don’t and yeah… I got a box of those around somewhere…

TJBM Has a box around somewhere… With that stuff… You know…

Coloma's avatar

That stuff? You mean that fragerant green stuff you smoke? Yes, I have a box of that. lol

TJBM eats Craisins

rojo's avatar

Sure! in salads and alone.
TJBM has had it up to here with celebrity gossip that passes for news these days.

Coloma's avatar

I never listen to celebrity gossip, what a waste of air space and brain power.

TJBM slept like a baby last night

ibstubro's avatar

Yup. I have a clear conscious. :)

TJBM remembers how to make spitballs stick to the ceiling.

DWW25921's avatar

I haven’t thought about that in years… Yes, as a matter of fact I do!

TJBM has yelled at kids for sticking stuff on the ceiling.

Strauss's avatar

I was one of the kids that was yelled at!

TJBM is amazed that they can remember something so trivial from so long ago.

rojo's avatar

True, I remember the blow guns we made out of straws with straight pins and bits of paper for tails. I also remember the pain….......
TJBM is looking forward to watching most of the winter Olympics, but not the skating; definitely not the skating

DWW25921's avatar

I probably won’t watch any of it. I don’t watch TV really. I watch shows online.

TJBM thinks cable television is obsolete.

Coloma's avatar

For me, yes. Not a TV watcher either, I do like the PBS documentaries, Nature, and American Experience. PBS is the only quality TV out there IMO. I’m a Netflix junkie though.

TJBM has allergies

geeky_mama's avatar

Yep I sure do. At least I’m not allergic to any foods (yet).. my dad is allergic to shellfish and I’d sure miss being able to eat shrimp & lobster!

TJBM has a recommendation for a new show for @Coloma to watch on Netflix.

Coloma's avatar

TJBM Is a whovian.

AshLeigh's avatar

A Doctor Who fan? No.
Tjbm has a chinchilla.

DWW25921's avatar

No, but I’m open to the idea.

TJBM wishes they had that thing that they’ve been missing…

Strauss's avatar

Whatever that thing is…

THEM tends to binge-watch (a) favorite TV show or shows.

Dutchess_III's avatar

Not a lot. We binge watched The Andy Griffith show whilst lying in a motel bed and drinking rum on Thanksgiving.
Also, when Apollo 13 came out in 95 I bought the VHS tape for my sister for Christmas. Who never got it. Because I watched it. 30 times over Christmas break. My children started running from the room, screaming, whenever it came on, so it was useful in ways other than my own entertainment. It works to this day as a kid-deterrent.

TJBM would like to start their own business.

AshLeigh's avatar

A morgue…
Tjbm is a mortician.

Coloma's avatar

False but my daughter moonlights as a recovery person for a mortuary, picking up corpses from hospitals, nursing homes and private residences.

TJBM is a cream and sugar in their coffee type

ibstubro's avatar

TJBM has never learned that hot cheese equals blistered mouth.

Strauss's avatar

I learned a long time ago.

TJBM Is watching the snow from their window.

Dutchess_III's avatar

No. Just looking at the cold outside, reveling in the heat inside.

TJBM would like to live off the grid, but not in the winter time.

Jonesn4burgers's avatar

I would like to own the grid.
TJBM will open this darn lid for me.

Coloma's avatar

Bang it on the floor, really hard, that should do the trick.

DWW25921's avatar

I guess it doesn’t matter if I’m ready or not… It’s here!

TJBM Understands incredibly nerdy things that others just don’t get…

Coloma's avatar

True, depending on your definition of nerdy. I love theories and concepts and am a rational as well as an abstract thinker. A combo plate that can confuse others. lol

TJBM is a creature of extremes

DWW25921's avatar

I can be.

TJBM is hankering for fried taters and onions.

Strauss's avatar

Oh, I suppose—but they in no way have crippled me; I just need to not create regrets in the future ;-)

I don’t watch much TV at all.

TJBM Takes pictures they never actually look at.

Coloma's avatar

Heh, I still have vacation pictures on my camera from August 2012 that I have never downloaded. lol

TJBM likes taking pictures but hates downloading them.

rojo's avatar

No. I download and keep everything, even the out of focus ones with the hope that one day technology will allow me to refocus them and have a good shot.
TJBM just got up and immediately opened Fluther (once they got their coffee that is).

OpryLeigh's avatar

No, it’s 1.30pm here and this is the first time I have opened Fluther today as it’s the first quite moment I have had at work.

TJBM can hear a dog barking right now.

Dutchess_III's avatar

False, I just watch others do stupid shit.

rojo's avatar

Well, I am set in my ways but I do like variety.
TJBM has streaked before (but it was looooong ago and we don’t talk about it in front of the kids).

Dutchess_III's avatar

No, I never have! Neva neva. I think it’s more of a guy thing anyway. Friend of mine streaked down G hall when I was in HS. Stopped my Biology class dead it it’s tracks!

TJBM knows a song about a streaker.

Coloma's avatar

False, but I could make one up…

TJBM is out of it this morning

Dutchess_III's avatar

I’m not, but YOU are! YOU DO TOO KNOW A SONG ABOUT A STREAKER YOU OLD HIPPIE! :D

The old hippie below me just remembered that she knows a song about a streaker.

rojo's avatar

Well, I’m a he but I do remember one called The Streak by Ray Stevens.
TJBM has started drinking early today.

Not anymore, now it is more of a stroller!

TJBM likes chili cheese fries.

DWW25921's avatar

Oh yes… :)

TJBM Plans out “random activities” with precision.

Jonesn4burgers's avatar

I am forced to carefully plan some of the simplest things, in regards to being out and about. With my mobility impaired, it’s a must. At home, no.
TJBM has ridden some animal other than horse or mule.

DWW25921's avatar

When I was very small my family had a very patient German Shepard.

TJBM Ignores the warnings and does it anyway!

Dutchess_III's avatar

Not usually. My husband does, though. He even ignores his own common sense and does it anyway.

TJBM has a wonderful pet.

reijinni's avatar

What pet?
TJBM has a nasty earworm.

Strauss's avatar

DWW25921's avatar

Yes. Often. Thanks for the reminder… It’s starting again…

TJBM Wants one of those nifty bamboo back scratcher thingeys.

ibstubro's avatar

Not so much. Over clothing, they don’t dig deep enough, bare skin they dig too deep.

TJBM loves buying worthless crap at the Everything’s a Dollar Store.

DWW25921's avatar

Yes I do. I also love reselling it for more at the flea market.

TJBM Carries the banner of “cheapest person on earth” proudly!

Coloma's avatar

False, I love to spend money and have fun. What’s the purpose of making it otherwise, to dress in sack cloth and eat twigs? lol

TJBM knows what a CoyWolf is and thinks it is very cool

Jonesn4burgers's avatar

Sure, I know what they are. I’m more excited about purebred wolves though. I got to meet one once which had been orphaned, and hand raised. This enormous canine put his paws on my shoulders, and had to lean down to lick my face. I was still using crutches at the time, and it was all I could do to keep from falling over. The wolf was sweet as a bunny, but the power he possessed was unmistakeable. It’s the sort of thing which digs into your spirit and leaves a permanent impression.
TJBM can hit a guy in the neck with a rubberband from across a room.

ibstubro's avatar

Once upona time I could, no problem. Now I might have to practice for a bit.

TJBM is a story teller.

Strauss's avatar

I am. Sometimes even when a “yes” or “no” answer will suffice, I will go in to the story of “why”.

TJBM thinks that the art of storytelling is dying.

Dutchess_III's avatar

It is, although my husband is still quite good at it.

TJBM wonders what would happen if the entire earth suddenly went off the grid.

ibstubro's avatar

Not so much. I’m personally confident of being able to take care of me and mine. It would just require a bit more effort for a while until I got into the new swing of things. Why, I sometimes wonder, did humans ever move out of caves? Free climate control.

TJBM wonders how “bull shit’ became synonymous with talking trash. Do bulls eat something that cows do not?

rojo's avatar

Well, I do now. Thanks a lot.

TJBM is looking forward to a “3 Martini lunch”.

Coloma's avatar

Bleh…no! Now a little 420 at cocktail hour and maybe a beer, sure.
I imbibe after the days work is done, I’d be asleep if I had a drink at lunch time. lol

TJBM is a lite drinker

TJBM thinks that MT quote is very true

ibstubro's avatar

“Get your facts first, then you can distort them as you please”, @Coloma.

TJBM knows that “If you tell the truth, you don’t have to remember anything.”

Coloma's avatar

Very true!

TJBM has to go to the bathroom

ibstubro's avatar

Coloma's avatar

I think it’s kind of 50/50.
Tjbm reads/watches too much science fiction.

Strauss's avatar

Sometimes I find the lines blurry…

TJBM has a favorite conspiracy theory.

rojo's avatar

Correct! The Warren Report is bogus and a part of the conspiracy!

TJBM however, disagrees and believes it was all conceived, planned and executed by Oswald alone.

rojo's avatar

No, I don’t and besides the best conspiracy theory NOW is that Bin Ladin is not actually dead and the whole thing was faked from beginning to supposed sea dump in order to justify the Military/Industrial complex and the necessity of Homeland Security.

TJBM however, disagrees and believes it was all conceived, planned and executed by Oswald alone and was probably in on the Bin Ladin conspiracy too since he did not really die either.

dxs's avatar

Uh…huh?
The Jelly below me would rather keep politics out of this thread and maintain the light-hearted small talk.

False. I’m planning a delicious dinner. (Seafood Alfredo lasagna.)

TJBM has met a famous politician.

Coloma's avatar

TJBM thinks Ahnold is a dolt.

ibstubro's avatar

Ahnold is a figure of speech?
unimpressed!

Tropical_Willie's avatar

TJAM missed the TJBM

rojo's avatar

F#@k Yeah! D&mn Straight!

AshLeigh's avatar

That is a nice idea. Except I’m an anarchist.
Tjbm hates it when their phone autocorrects “tjbm” to “them”

Jonesn4burgers's avatar

I don’t Fluther on my phone, but when I text I have it set so my phone can’t guess what I’m saying.
tjbm will go lower case too, so @AshLeigh doesn’t have to feel alone.:)

AshLeigh's avatar

FALSE!

TJBM is tired today

Jonesn4burgers's avatar

I’m tired every day. A good day is when my leg is NOT having spasms.
TJBM keeps noticing an odd scent they can’t track down.

Coloma's avatar

Strauss's avatar

Yeah…The snow-shoveling event in my front yard!

TJBM is ready for a break from the extreme weather we’ve been having.

Strauss's avatar

I’lL tRy…too much trouble!

TJBM has been involved in landlord/tenant dispute as landlord or as tenant.

Coloma's avatar

True. I had a landlord once that never stopped talking about how I was the best tenant he ever had, until I moved and he found a way to gouge me for every penny of my deposit after 7 years of paying my rent early, taking great care of things and leaving him with 2k in antique wrought iron fencing. Yes, he loved my MONEY, not me. lol

TJBM hates to admit that most people are jerks

Dutchess_III's avatar

I’d like to think that most of them aren’t but the ones who are are much more noticeable.

TJBM is eating / drinking tomato soup with out saltine crackers for the first time in his or her life.

Dutchess_III's avatar

Pineapple pizza is exactly WHAT ethnicity?? lol

TJBM thinks pineapple look more like weapons than fruit.

Dutchess_III's avatar

You don’t put an entire, uncored pineapple on a pizza ding a ling!

TJBM thinks an entire, whole pineapple, along with a grilling recipe for pineapple, is a good present to give to someone you want to give a hard time to!

Coloma's avatar

Mmmm….it’s original but since I am not of big fan of pineapple, except in chinese dishes or y pizza too, I wouldn’t really want to get a pineapple for a present. lol

TJBM adores, worships, covets, fondles, craves, avocados.

ibstubro's avatar

Thanks to @Dutchess_III, TJBM now has this In their head.

Coloma's avatar

I don’t know, I haven’y decided if I will look. lol
