This Fluther tradition is the next in a series of infinite reincarnations of this thread. The first person makes a statement about TJBM (The Jelly Below Me). Anyone who cares can reply with a “yes” or “no” answer, following up with their own TJBM statement.
Example:
First poster:
TJBM thinks dogs are superior to cats.
Next reply:
_No, I’m the proverbial cat lady. I have 20 cats and 0 dogs. TJBM thinks “cat ladies” contribute to society.
And so on.

I’ll start this show:
TJBM is aware of the legend that says the Devil is a musician.
Well, yeah, and considering he punishes bad people, maybe he’s a good guy?
TJBM loves Science Fiction.
I guess so. I read Asimov’s I, Robot when I was in the eighth grade in 1962. I now have bionic ears.
TJBM has device(s) that were considered sci-fi 50 years ago.
At this point, the majority of people would be burnt at the stake for having a flat screen TV.
TJBM has never known the joy of sharpening their own knives with a whetstone.
I’ve never done it, but I’ve seen it done many times. My husband sharpened them all that way, as did my father. I have yet to give it a try.
TJBM has never known the joy of sharpening their own pencils with a knife.
EDIT: I know I used to use my Barlow jackknife !
TJBM has a different dinner tonight, we’re having escargot.
It’s not yet lunchtime here. I can’t think far enough ahead to dinner.
TJBM has never seen the Pacific Ocean.
Not true. I’ve been to California a bunch of times and it there.
TJBM enjoys the ocean, but from a distance.
Nope, Love the ocean.
TJBM loves big ships.
Yes.
Big pointy ships plowing through soft warm waters…
But The Jelly Below Me just wants to go to Mexico.
Yes, but only to San Miguel Allende!
TJBM likes classic movies…..
You betcha! I just got done watching a 6-hour Mo Howard film festival! ;-D
TJBM notices a change of participants in this thread compared to the previous one.
@Brian1946, could you please link the preceding one?
@Strauss, thanks, but you linked to this page.
No change or confusion for me, so No.
TJBM takes periodic sabbaticals from work or life.
I do.
TJBM has a social evening with friends without spouses every so often.
I have social evenings without spouses always unless my gay friends bring theirs.
TJBM has great plans for the weekend.
Oh, I hope so! Nice weather, I plan to be up to my elbows in garden projects.
TJBM is oh, so tasty to bitey bugs.
@Brian1946, thanks. So we’ve lost track of the numbering? Too bad. I thought it was neat to notice how many generations of TJBM games we had.
I’m not really prone to being bitten but they aggravate me when they fly close to my face and I can hear a buzzy sound.
TJBM has a means to keep their terrace and yard pest-free.
No.
TJBM would pay big bucks for a dog.
Not if I wanted to stay married I wouldn’t.
TJBM prefers cats to dogs.
True.
TJBM likes all animals.
ALL?!
No. How could I? I haven’t met them all.
TJBM sometimes prefers animals to humans.
I prefer giant cookies to both!
TJBM needs to go to bed early tonigh.
Thank you. I will take that as an order and act accordingly.
TJBM really doesn’t care about all the brouhaha.
Brouhaha is lovely, but I think it’s mostly a desert wine.
TJBM is a secret flower child.
True.
<——Here I am pollinating my mom! ;p
TJBM can name the highest hill, mountain, or other prominence in their state, province, or country.
This thing. That place has been a tourist attraction for a long time, but it was mostly a deserted under-maintained hill until recently when a corporation took over. On one hand I appreciate that the recent construction makes the hill more attractive and accessible to the public, but on the other hand they make the hill look the same as their other theme parks. It kind of takes away the uniqueness of the place.
TJBM still remembers a certain story game on the previous TJBM thread.
No, I don’t remember that.
TJBM has gotten rid of a car due to the noise the car made.
Yeah that and it was broke!
TJBM tries to hide their flaws with the clothes they wear.
Hahaha, not even! My wardrobe seems to accentuate them. Good thing I don’t care anymore!
TJBM hates when a device needs to be retired (phone, computer, etc) but ultimately really enjoys the new shiny one! (Had to replace my tablet today)
Yes. Until I get the new one and try not to think about how much I spent.
TJBM Knows about Throughgood Marshall. (Sp?)
Thurgood Marshall – yes I do.
TJBM lives in Europe.
Close. I live in Kansas. But I speak English!
TJBM has marbles on order.
Nope. Sorry, I lost my marbles long ago.

I love great songs….many of them happen to be sad songs though.
TJBM shops at a warehouse club like Costco.
Yup Costco for 6 years and BJ’s for 39 years
TJBM drives a car over 16 years old.
Almost! It’s 15 years old.
TJBM slept late this morning.
Not really. 9:00.
TJBM Loves 60 Minutes.
No; I watch no broadcast network TV other than some sports and about once a week I like to watch the two game shows…Wheel and Jeopardy.
TJBM pain that he or she just cannot imagine the cause.
No, but I do have some occasional pain because of arthritis.
TJBM has swam in either the Pacific, Atlantic, or Indian ocean; or the Mediterranean sea.
I have. In the Atlantic. I spent several years of my childhood in Florida. I’d post pics but I can’t access them now.
I have waded in the Pacific.
I saw the Indian in “Top Gun” :).
TJBM lives close to their family.
I do, for the first time in years. For the first time since I was 20 I live near my sister.
TJBM has lived in a mobile home at some point in life.
Negatory
TJBM swam in the ocean or pool in the past week
Yes. Pool. Went to the newest local city rec center (completely paid for with cannabis taxes, by the way) and swam and spent some time in the hot tub.
TJBM lives somewhere that has benefited from the legalization of marijuana.
No. Kansas is an idiot. But we got ourselves a democratic governor now. She’s working on the disaster Brownback left in his wake.
TJBM has a hard time getting out of bed when it’s raining.
@Strauss I live in Caliphony, so I’m sure we’ve done some major benefiting from legalization. How did you learn about the source of the FUNding of your rec center?
Not so, I am one of those people who can’t stay in bed in the morning. Very annoying, that.
TJBM loves to sail.
No, but I often fail and occasionally flail.
TJBM likes a good peanut butter and ________ sandwich. (fill in the blank)
Mayonnaise
TJBM just thought “EEEEWWWWWWW”
Yeah, Eww. Peanut butter is disgusting.
TJBM knows that fries are best paired with mayonnaise.
True. I love fries and mayo.
TJBM wants to go home already. They’ve just arrived at work, but they really want to go home.
That is a trick question when I work remotely from home.
Yes / No / I am here / Did I click my red heels three times already?
TJBM has locked themselves out of their car or house recently
Not in a long, long time.
TJBM takes a med that works for the purpose intended, but it makes them dizzy.
I don’t get dizzy. But allergy meds make me trip out. Colors are brighter and certain textures pulse like they’re alive.
TJBM is ready for summer.
I could easily wait until 2023 for summer. I think @cookieman‘s sentiments are similar.
TJBM has visited a continent other than the one where they live.
If so, which one(s)?
I don’t live on any continent, but yes, I’ve visited a number of them: Asia, Australia, and Europe besides where I was born, North America.
TJBM can’t even.
I CAN TOO!!!!
TJBM is waiting for the rain to end.
I’m in California and we are always in need of rain.
TJBM is still wondering when they’ll feel like an actual adult.
Nope – I started growing up 11 years ago.
TJBM is hungry for their supper.
I totally am, but I have to finish those pictures today.
TJBM has seen the new Chip and Dale movie.
Not yet, but it’s on my to watch list for the summer.
TJBM has finally ditched cable and will tell us what they did instead.
We switched to YouTube TV and are saving $100/mo.
@Brian1946: Preach brother!
Years ago. I don’t watch TV other than Wheel and Jeopardy which is on free over air broadcast. We have both Netflix and Prime but don’t watch enough to warrant the expense, really, but, for now, that’s our situation.
TJBM is in the mood for a cruise.
A Cruz? In Mexico maybe??
@Brian1946 It was on a ballot measure! This colorful state requires such things.
On the other hand we also have MTG :(!
TJBM is cooking dinner.
Well, it’s my crackpot “cures what ails you” roast
Putting it the fridge soon, to finish cooking tomorrow.
TJBM has a favorite food.
I have a whole list of them.
TJBM is really looking forward to something.
Yes- completing my workout, listening to some Dave Brubeck, and then scarfing.
TJBM wants to be the toughest person at school, work, home, or on their cell block!
I’d love to be the toughest person in my room! So far I have defeated all the bugs here: mosquitos, flies, ants, beetles… My final enemy is the cockroach. I’d love to be able to take down that damn roach so that I can be the queen of my room!
TJBM will give me tips on beating cockroaches so that I can be the toughest person in my room.
I have a lot of skin tags, so I’m the roughest person in my house. ;p
They make roach killer stuff @Mimishu1995. Kil, kill, KILL!
TJBM is drowning.
Drowning in sadness and frustration for the country we live in perhaps.
TJBM realizes the privilege of the life they currently live.
I am truly grateful to be alive. I was just chatting with a friend who is suicidal, and they have decided to not die today. I am greatly relieved.
TJBM is thankful for the weather today.
Yeah cloudy and cool, helps Mrs Squeeky sleep after a graveyard shift..
TJBM had no idea growing old would be this painful.
I have an idea about that but so far I’m fortunate…...well, since I had both knees replaced, cataracts removed, and basal joint surgeries I have little pain. :)
TJBM had some very good news yesterday. (I did too)
I’m sure I did but I can’t remember it.
TJBM is baking bread.
Not today, but tomorrow I plan to start the assembly line bread production for summer use! I bake about ten loaves in a week to freeze to use when it’s too hot to bake!
TJBM is taking potato salad to a Memorial Day event.
No because I don’t like potato salad and I’ve never been invited to a Memorial Day event.
TJBM likes parades.
Really only like Pride Parades.
TJBM is looking forward to the holiday weekend.
Sure. Baked beans here I come!
TJBM will share their memorial day recipes with us.
I have been remembering the fallen all week and will on Monday as well.
TJBM is up early today.
I am always up stupidly early. My idea of sleeping late is going to bed an hour earlier. Ugh.
TJBM will be eating questionable potato salad on somebody’s too hot deck this weekend.
No, I’ll be eating my own potato salad, along with 18-hour mesquite smoked ribs, baked mac and cheese (from scratch, no blue box involved), and a nutritionally-questionable-but-very-traditional Jell-O® salad.
TJBM has plans for this holiday weekend.
We were going to cook out with my sister but her household has a stomach virus they keep sharing with each other. We are going to cook out ribs with the folks next door and make strawberry ice cream.
TJBM just got some sad news.
I did, actually. A family member died (too early, though somewhat expected). And another family member has gone no contact with my mother. I feel like I’m doing a ton of comforting at the moment, but I do have great friends to lean on.
TJBM manages to find joy in difficult times.
Sadly, no. I’m an optimistic person who tries to start each day with a blank slate — but I am not always successful at turning lemons into lemonade.
TJBM will tell us which they prefer:
• lemonade
• pink lemonade
• frozen lemonade
• lemon slush
Pink lemonade. Doles is the BEST.
TJBM is a vegetarian
Just on the days I eat no meat.
TJBM has witnessed an exorcism.

TJBM has pledged their soul to Satan in return for a banana.
No, Bananas are too easily available for me to pledge my sole for one.
TJBM knows what legendary musician sold their soul for rock ‘n’ roll.
How did you do that @Raggy?
Oh gosh. I’ve seen O Brother Where Art Thou, but I can’t think.of the name!
TJBM has read The Odyssey.
It was Robert Johnson at “the crossroads.”
No- I’ve never read The Odyssey.
TJBM is kind of glad the holiday weekend is almost over.
Not really glad or otherwise about it. It’s a day of remembrance and leaves me in a somewhat pensive mood but I feel that my love of country honors the fallen each and every day.
TJBM has watched an old familiar film today. We watched Bull Durham tonight…
Watched “Jungle Book” with grandkids yesterday, but it was the newer live action version. I prefer the older animated film myself. TJBM has a busy week in store.
Actually, no. For the first time since last July, I have a week off with nothing to do. Spent yesterday watching movies and hanging with the doggies. Today, I got a massage and am off to see a movie (Everything, Everywhere, All At Once).
I watched Don’t Look Up yesterday and need something to wash the dire cynicism out of my brain.
TJBM definitely thinks there was room on that door for Jack.
@cookieman I really want to know what you think of Everything Everywhere All at Once.
Yes there was room on that door for Jack!
TJBM will tell us what they thought of the movie “Everything Everywhere All at Once.”
I thought it was a wild crazy ride and not my usual genre but I really loved it and the family relationship plot was ultimately very heartwarming.
TJBM has a headache today.
How did you know!?
TJBM is tired of the divisiveness in politics.
I’m tired of politics in general. Need a quiet getaway with my wife for at least one day. TJBM is working today.
It is a normal work day, of course. The coming monday is a holiday though, so a 3 day weekend. Yay.
TJBM liked Gadget hooking up with Zipper in the new Chip and Dale movie, and having 42 mouse-housefly hybrid children, with more on the way.
@Hawaii_Jake: I really like the absurdist nature of it. Some of that was really inspired (the bagel) and the costumes were almost characters of their own. Some of that was a bit repetitious and ham handed though.
Having recently seen Spider Man: No Way Home and the latest Doctor Strange movies, I’m kind of over multiverse concepts and was briefly annoyed that was the central conceit. I was happy they dispensed with that soon enough. I really like the exploration of what our main character could have become, but I wanted them to slow down and dive a bit deeper into those regrets/missed opportunities.
The family story, as @janbb points out, becomes the focus, but I was really interested in the balance between familial love and all the disappointment and resentment that often comes with that. They certainly cover it, but I frankly was hoping to cry more at this movie, and I did not.
The leads were all great and special mention to Jamie Lee Curtis for full, unbridled commitment. I didn’t think she’d be in the movie as much as she was.
@cookieman I don’t disagree with your assessment. However, certain parts like the rocks (I won’t say more) moved me to tears. And having a best friend who saved her daughter multiple times, led me to recommend it to her and she loved it.
TJBM is enjoying a thunderstorm.
Nope. At work enjoying (fantasizing) about things to call my boss. Not a cloud in the sky. TJBM needs rain badly I’m their area.
We’re pretty much drowning at the moment.
TJBM has been planting flowers.
@cookieman Thank you. I didn’t like it. The chaos overwhelmed me, and when they introduced the villain, I knew precisely how it would end.
TJBM is looking forward to tomorrow.
@janbb: I liked the rocks too.
@Hawaii_Jake: It was definitely sensory overload many times. I agree about the villain.
Yes I am. Going to see the Lumineers in concert with my daughter.
TJBM was about to smother me with a pillow for all the movie talk above.
Violence doesn’t jive with the MJ I knew.
TJBM thinks American society has their priorities screwd up
I said the marijuana of today. It’s not the same stuff of our high school days decades ago.
I imbibe now and then all it does is make me chill. And hungry. TJBM will please excuse my thread breaker upper or derailment or whatever.
Of course! And I’m so glad you are back!
TJBM hasn’t seen someone for a long time.
@Mimishu1995 Thank you so much if that was directed at me. Sorry I didn’t message you and let you know, been at odds with unappreciative boss lately. He is one person I would LIKE to not see for a long time. TJBM is feeling chill and cheery this evening.
It’s not the evening now but I’m feeling chill :D
TJBM has been up to something new.
Not really. Considered setting my model railroading thing at the new place but I don’t want the three year old grandson to destroy it..TJBM enjoys classic movies.
I enjoy classic movies, especially film-noir. Maybe it’s just me, but there is just something about those classic movies that were so pure and on-the-point compared to a lot of movies today.
TJBM needs a day off.
I set my own hours and take a day when I want to.
TJBM has been inside a prison.
I was detained in a city jail for being “in the presence of” weed.
I visited Alcatraz after it was closed.
TJBM has seen our spiral galactic arm in the night sky.
Yes, when I have gone far enough away from cities. Been awhile. :-(
TJBM enjoys farmers markets.
I do.
TJBM has access to farms where you can go and pick your own produce and pay by the pound. This is a fun day.
Mrs Squeeky likes it, me not so much.
TJBM prefers small town,or country living over big city.
I lived in a town with more cows than people. 6,300 cows and 5,500 people, great town and super schools.
TJBM is making chicken enchiladas for dinner tomorrow.
No, it will be caribbean style fish with mango salad.
Tjbm has lost his temper trying to peel an unripe avocado.
True. I was so ballistic, that I took my AR15 to the produce section and made guacamole! ;-o
TJBM has seen either the chicken enchilada or the avocado constellation in the night sky.
No, but one night long ago I saw a muscaria meteor shower.
TJBM is more or less.
Meh – An optimist says half full, a pessimist says half empty, I say add some Scotch and ice and I’m good to go. TJBM must rise early tomorrow.
Never!
TJBM needs to shop for an electronic item that is no longer working properly.
Oh, dear, I’m afraid that’s so. I think the router for our home wifi is going “flaky,” as my late husband used to say. He always took care of stuff like that. I don’t know where to start. Gahh. Pencils and paper, that’s my kind of technology.
TJBM is planning a long-deferred trip.
P.S., @Nomore_Tantrums: I say half full of liquid and half full of air.
No, I’m actually stalling a long deferred trip. Got a FB account going last year and one of my cousins volunteered me to put a family reunion together. Love my family but not up for a trip to Alabama. TJBM is dreading an impending trip as well
No, I got out of mine. :)
TJBM still listens to vinyl.
I bought our 12yo a record player for her birthday last year. Did not anticipate that I’d have to listen to Olivia Rodrigo on chipmunk speed.
TJBM still listens to the radio.
I do. Not just when driving but also streaming, at home; and sometimes on an actual, you know, radio.
TJBM mends things with a needle and thread.
Depends on how attached I am to it.
TJBM still uses a typewriter.
Not since 1983.
TJBM will tell us their favorites museum they ever visited.
The Erik Satie Museum in Honfleur, the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston and the Musee D’Orsay.
TJBM is half-asleep still.
Hunh? Oh! Yeah, fluttering while I’m waiting for the coffee to brew!
TJBM has a busy day ahead.
Oh, yeah, bunches of physically demanding yard work.
TJBM is planning a quiet evening after a busy day.
Heavens! I’m barely awake sipping tea. I had a wild night at a knock-out drag show last night, so perhaps yes, I will take it easy tonight.
TJBM wants to scream HAPPY PRIDE!
Not literally, but I was at a concert the other day that was very pride-riffic, our transgender cousin just came in to stay with family for the summer, and I’m having dinner with my lesbian aunt soon. Does that count?
TJBM has multiple LGBTQ people amongst their immediate family and friends.
@cookieman Yes. All my closest guy friends are gay (sob). And I have some married Lesbian couples as friends.
TJBM is going to a rally for gun control soon.
Doubtful
TJBM has eaten buffalo and/or goat meat.
Both, and puma, alligator, various kinds of snakes, squirrel, bear, etc etc etc. my former BIL hunts and fishes and belongs to clubs that have big dinners with every sort of critter on the menu.
TJBM has bought or sold a house recently.
Only in Animal Crossing. It is a lot easier to pay for a house, when the loan shark tanuki charges no interest, lets you pay the installments whenever you want, his children will buy any random junk from you, and money literally grows on trees.
TJBM has recently replaced the gas cylinder on their office chair.
The Jelly Above Me has looked at Meta recently!!!
TJAY didn’t show up for their 30K nor their 40K parties.
All dressed up and nowhere to go? TJBM thinks that person should be excited. Not an easy goal to achieve.
No, I don’t think anything about that.
TJBM would like to read some of the declassified documents regarding UFOs.
Yeah that would be cool.
TJBM has seen Big Foot.
Not yet. I’m still looking around though. :)
TJBM uses his initials rather than his/her given name.
No but a couple of relatives in the next generation do.
TJBM has next-gen relatives
Yes.
TJBM has had a hernia….somewhere.
Yeah, one time years ago. TJBM has an exemplary health record.
I do and know it’s a blessing. Pure whole foods, that’s the answer…mama said so! ;)
TJBM has lost faith in the science of weather prediction.
Pretty much yeah. “One hundred percent chance of weather today”, that’s all I know. TJBM is having a relaxing night.
Well, not yet, it’s 5:48 PM. I do intent to have one of those tonight though.
TJBM hates the color of his or her car.
I like the color of my car- it’s teal green.
TJBM usually combines more than one errand into a single trip.
Unless it’s a very important errand then of course yes.
TJBM would rather be playing golf.
He’ll no. I played it once and wanted to drown myself in the pond. So boring.
TJBM loves nothing more than whacking some balls around.
hahahaha. Oh yes, I do indeed.
TJBM is slyly snickering at something off color.
Not even remotely “slyly”, I am guffawing at some turtle porn I saw on FB.
TJBM got some good medical news today.
Not today, but I am riding on past good medical news.
TJBM will share their present or past good medical news.
Had brain surgery two years ago, was told by Neurologist he has never seen a guy my age recover so fast from a major surgery. I was released two days afterward. So I guess that counts as good medical news. TJBM is tired of the nightly and local news.
I haven’t watched local news since the last hurricane that hit here. I don’t ever watch broadcast TV.
TJBM has a mole on his or her body that needs to be evaluated.
No, not yet. But I have various cumps, freckles, and tags I didn’t have 10 years ago.
TJBM is ready for a relaxing Sunday.
Already relaxing . . . aahhhh !
TJBM enjoys thick cut loin lamb chops (we had that last night for dinner).
I like lamb chops but not too thick. I don’t eat it often. I particularly like ground lamb in a rice/pine nut/onion mixture to use to stuff squash, cabbage/grape leaves, etc.
TJBM doesn’t use the text feature on his or her phone.
I do when I have to. With grands trying to contact me constantly not much choice. TJBM hates texting, period.
Very true!!
Can’t stand it.
Would rather just talk to the person.
TJB M. Would rather drive a truck than a car.
No. I had to drive a 40-foot, loaded box truck from Lexington, MA to Provincetown once and did not enjoy the experience.
TJBM has been to P-Town.
I was only there once when I drank far too much cola.
TJBM is only pretending to be tough.
I’m a survivor over and over again.
TJBM just bought something exciting.
Cough drops!
TJBM is having a peaceful, rainy day.
Peaceful yes rainy no.
TJBM has found something in their pocket.
Not today.
TJBM only wears clothing that provides a pocket.
Pretty much, yeah, but I make my own deep pocket clothes.
TJBM will be dipping into TOS today for a nostalgic glimpse of Nichelle Nichols.
Done it already. I wonder if Celia Rose Gooding ever met Nichelle.
TJBM wonders if Ethan Peck ever met Leonard Nimoy.
I don’t know why you guys are talking about, so no I never wondered about it.
TJBM thinks schools should continue to reach cursive.
…and English spelling.
TJBM is going to buy some shoes.
@RayaHope Yep! I just noticed.
I have so so many shoes and all I wear are my Birkenstock flip flops…..even to Church. I do not get dressed up at all…..for quite a few years now.
TJBE never gets dressed up.
Only when I am on spellcheck because I’m dyslexic!
TJBM has something burning in the oven.
I hope not, I’m at work and wife wasn’t cooking that I’m aware of. TJBM is going to eat lite this evening.
I really avoid that because of all the glass.
TJBM would like to know more about blackholes.
I, and I’m sure the vast majority of astrophysicists, would like to know more about them.
One topic I’m particularly interested in is wandering black holes: what success have we had tracking them, and what are the chances that one might enter our solar system.
TJBM can name the supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy (or your galaxy, if you’re an extra-galactic bot. ;-o).
Sagittarius A*
TJBM likes PB & J sandwiches
I do indeed. Take them to work when I know I won’t have time to stop on the way in. TJBM likes Jif brand peanut butter and will eat it out of the jar.
Skippy for almost 70 years, prefer that over any other !
TJBM has pest control visiting for three month visit !
Yes because ants were in my Jif, did you send them @Tropical_Willie?
TJBM makes lefthand turns on red without stopping first.
You must be in North Carolina, I’ve three people do that in the last month! !
TJBM is planning a day trip to the ocean or a lake.
That was a setup, you know I LOVE the beach!
TJBM pushes buttons for a living.
Yes. I pushes a lot of buttons. My house is literally filled with buttons. My computer is also filled with buttons. At my workplace I have to know the right buttons to press on our A/C remote control and the TV screen. I really can’t function without pushing buttons.
TJBM plays games for a living.
Nope, but I’ve been playing SimCity for fun (on my iPad) over the Summer.
I loved SimCity 2000 back in the day. Unfortunately, this new version does not have the cool jazz soundtrack of the old PC version.
TJBM wishes someone would take care of them.
In the Mafia sort of way, sure.
TJBM should try Cities Skylines as a modern replacement for Sim City.
Mmmm…perhaps I will young mobster. Perhaps I will.
TJBM would participate in a Fluther Zoom call.
My mom says “No Zoom calls, they will warp your mind” I say it’s too late.
TJBM is afraid of heights.
Nope- I’m more afraid of depths, ever since the time I fell into a sewer.
I wasn’t rescued until after I went through a waste-treatment facility! ;-o
TJBM is not TJAM.
Correct.
TJBM, like me, likes this little game. :)
Of course! This game was what got me to know a lot of people here. And this is one part of Fluther that we goof around and be casual :)
TJBM will describe a cake they want to eat.
Classic gold cake with chocolate frosting. Gluten-free but tastes like it’s full of glorious gluten.
TJBM will tell us about the last delicious thing they ate.
It was a large, ripe, juicy, chilled, golden orange apricot.
TJBM can name the originator of this game.
@Strauss but way before I got here.
TJBM also loves this game and will give me a hug!
Probably when I was born but that is kinda private. TJAM has opened my eyes now I AM WISER.
TJBM loves green eyes
I prefer red eyes. They taste more tomatoey.
TJBM hates having their “your mum” jokes interrupted.
Pass.
TJBM is having a very early first cup today.
Yes, I was up at 5 am and my first cup was to die for!
TJBM hates the taste of tomatoes.
Yes, true. Although, I love a good marinara or Bolognese sauce.
TJBM has successfully grown a garden full of veggies.
Not me, but my mom. We have been eating a lot of home-grown veggies for the last several months. My mom grows so many exotic veggies that I have grown bored of the usual veggies. Apart from saving money, our garden has boosted my taste in food too :)
TJBM hats a certain kind of food, but loves it when it is combined with another food.
I hate ketchup on french fries but add a little mayo and OMG that is delicious!
TJBM loves to wax their car.
You’re one of those guys that likes to shine his machine
You’ll make me take off my shoes before you let me get in
I can’t believe you kiss your car good night
Now c’mon, baby, tell me – you must be joking right?
TJBM has no use for modern music.
I don’t usually view music as something I can use.
I can enjoy music from any period; all I want is a likeable melody.
TJBM has an external drive connected to their PC.
No. I have two external drives connected to my (iMac) PC. Redundant back-ups, baby.
TJBM has enjoyed a fluffanutter.
Since Mrs Strauss developed a peanut butter allergy we’ve moved over to almond butter. Add marshmallow fluff and a chocolate drizzle…yummy!
TJBM likes almond butter.
I like all nut butters, but I make my own peanut butter because it’s very cheap and convenient, so that’s my go-to.
TJBM is suddenly overwhelmed by ripe produce from their garden.
My mom has a ton of tomatoes if you’re interested.
TJBM just spent an hour on a treadmill.
No, I prefer a human hamster wheel.
TJBM has a soft spot in their head for skels & perps. ;)
I don’t know what that means.
TJBM will explain. Thanks in advance.
Nope I don’t know what it means as well.
TJBM. Prefers small towns over big cities.
Oh yes, small towns are much nicer because the people are more friendly.
TJBM used to play with chalk on the sidewalk.
Generations in my family have produced sidewalk art.
TJBM has a family tradition that has been passed down for generations.
Yes, opening presents on Christmas Eve rather than Christmas Day. Go figure. TJBM is NOT looking forward to the Holiday Season.
Not really.
TJBM is not ready to discuss Christmas.
Oh, please let me enjoy the summer for as long as I can!
TJBM likes to color outside of the lines.
When it comes to avatars, I don’t even use lines for the inside,
<——but Fluther won’t let us color outside of the box. :p
TJBM can name the character in @Strauss‘s avatar.
That guy looks really familiar, but I can’t recall where I saw him…
TJBM has an idea who he is.
Not a clue. TJBM is more tired than usual today.
Nah. I woke with a lot of energy today.
TJBM is the meat carver at the dinner table.
I am indeed. And the turkey prepper and turkey chef.
TJBM sings to their thanksgiving turkey (I do).
I think the turkey sings to me after eating it. {belch}
TJBM like to skip rocks.
I do. Always skipping rocks at the river is a lake with the grands. I’m easily amused. TJBM enjoys family outdoor outings.
Oh yes at the beach is best!
TJBM has never did it in a Jacuzzi.
Did what in a Jacuzzi? TJBM will pass on that one.
What, pass up an opportunity to do “it” in a Jacuzzi? Whatever “it” is!
TJBM will say whether they think “it” is better on a beach or in a Jacuzzi
On a beach. Been there done that. On a private isolated stretch of Mustang Island of course. TJBM will change the subject. Please. Lol
Jacuzzis are overrated. The beach is WAY better :)
TJBM KNows what “it” is but would rather throw darts.
Yeah I know what IT is.
And I haven’t thrown darts in years.
TJBM likes martini’s instead of beer.
Nope, 007 I’m not. I’ll take a cold Lone Star over a martini any day and twice on Sunday. TJBM says it’s been getting deep in here. : )
Yeah, it’s getting deep in here. I have to scroll down for quite a while before I can see your post :)
TJBM is an undercover agent.
Naw. That sounds too much like work.
TJBM likes put something unusual in their food.
My mom put oysters in turkey stuffing once and I thought I’d be grossed out until I tried it. not bad :)
TJBM wears glasses.
Only when driving at night. TJBM has perfect vision.
When wearing my nerdy glasses.
TJBM says this thread could wrap around the world.
Five or six times. Fun though. TJBM is having a nice weekend.
OMG, I had the best day ever today! Fun times and lots of HUGS!!
TJBM should have been there.
I’m glad you got the hugs! Excellent! TJBM doesn’t like working OT, but the big checks are getting them greedy. Lol
I am salaried.
TJBM is playing on a brand new device.
Still waiting for that in the mail.
TJBM has had their email hacked.
Not that I’m aware of. TJBM has an annoying pet.
OMG yes, I love my cat to no end but damn he can bug the crap out of me!
TJBM will start a new thread…please :)
Having too much fun with this one. TJBM will initiate the new thread.
