True, although I'm not going to predict which year. Actually it's warm and sunny at the moment. Here in the UK we seem to have had all four seasons in one weekend.

TPBM has decided to not watch the weather forecast, just accept what ever is thrown her/his way.

[BOBGRUETTER]

True... I'll watch, but with my 50-50 prediction her in Florida I'm right as much as the forecaster.

TPBM can finally turn off the oil, open the windows, and turn on the fans.


Bob

TPBM has visited every continent.

Bayla

Edit: And True again as I've been to three Canadian provinces many years ago when I was just sixteen!

[Cloud]

Sorry Julie. Thought I'd been quick enough. I'll void the Chicago stop as it was not longer than 2 hours and all of it in the airport. Don't think I even went outside. And I can't beat you are Canadian provinces as I've only been to Toronto and Niagara. So, I'll let someone else pick up the thread and play on.

TPBM wonders how Oprah walks through doors, what with that swelled head and all.

Hey, Steven! I've missed your sardonic wit, as well! I've been working non-stop to keep last minute tax filers (you're not one, are you :mad:?) out of trouble with the IRS!

And, of course, you wouldn't recognize any earthquake below 6.0 on the Richter scale, living in the City of Subdued Excitement! :D

But back to our game.....

TPBM loves to visit the zoo!

[Red Sky]

Kim, I filed in late March, so I'm good. Sometimes.

TPBM has cats on Prozac to curb undesirable behavior?

[Ellen]

False - that sounds useless, do people really use it with cats? I know it's used for dogs.

Kim- False. True friends don't ask friends to help move. Or did you volunteer?

TPBM is getting out of the house today no matter what without either a computer or camera.

Tony

TPBM has a list on their refrigerator of foods they can't stand, like bruised bananas, beets, Lima beans, celery knuckles and the bottom 1/3 of asparagus spears that resemble tree trunks?

[kim2900]

False - Uh.... Steven..... I don't generally need a list of the foods I cannot stand! Do you???

TPBM not only remembers the old Lawrence Welk show but will still watch it in reruns when they come across it.

[Red Sky]

Hey Kim! You just became a Known Member! Feel smarter? Congratulations! You will probably get your certificate in the mail later this week. And my list is there to impress visitors.

True! I love Lawrence and all the cheese associated with it. I think I watch it for different reasons than my parents did though. Sad to admit I know many of the names of the cast too.

TPBM still knows the Flip Wlison signature shake?

[kim2900]

TPBM would rather read a good book than watch all of these mind-numbing reality shows! :rolleyes:

TPBM is now now watering all their plants

[Elle~MN]

False - Monday is plant-watering day!

TPBM is not so sure they like all of the updates made to the PSE forum. (Not complaining - just unsure.)

Kim, you're great but you jump sides. I like that.. I could be a secret pen pal for the world to read.

TPBM hasn't had their first cup of coffee yet.

Bob

[NMarti]

True - woke up and immediately jumped on here to catch more spammers. :twisted:

TPBM has noticed a lot of spam the last 24 hours. (hopefully not - which would mean we're getting them all)

[lsweeney]

False--although the hotel food in Milwaukee TASTED a lot like SPAM. Wait. You meant the other sort of spam? Still, false. The moderators must be working overtime to get rid of it quickly!

True, and I'm not even the UK. Missouri is flooded - most of the state anyway!

TPBM wakes up to music every morning.

[NMarti]

False - wake up to the sound of a dog panting in my ear wanting to go out - and no I'm not calling my husband a dog! :eek::D

TPBM is so sick of rain they could scream! We have had 4 inches in the last 12 hours and it's still pouring!

[swalkr]

TRUE, TRUE, TRUE! Of course, beats the ice we had in Jan. & Feb.

TPBM works on a PSE project every day.

[vawitt]

hmmm....how about, I THINK about working on a project every day, so, I guess it would be false.

TPBM has a fenced-in backyard.

[kim2900]

True - Though I think it's more to keep me in than to keep other things out!

Personal note to Steven/aka Red Sky/aka smarty-pants: Bob and Mike have offered to be my friends, and I didn't even have to set them up on my Pay Pal account! http://bestsmileys.com/signs11/17.gif Thanks, guys!!!!

And Bill, I will be your friend for free if you'll set me up with the plastic surgeon who did your excellent work on the "Where's Kev" thread!

TPBM is considering paying/bargaining to build up their Forum Friends' list! :twisted:

[Red Sky]

False. I don't buy friends. People, who needs them? They're the worse.;)

Personal note to you Kim. I see through the new Homeland Security function of the forum that you have visited my Profile Page. Well, I disabled the Public Comment part of it so if you have anything to say to me, say it here! And by the way, I'm missing my ZZ Top CD and a package of gravy mix. Please return it, no questions asked!

TPBM had a cheap tooth fairy when they were younger?

[Byron Gale]

That's the truth!!! A quarter or half-dallar was the best the TF could muster in our house... the best I ever did was when one of my dad's friends offered to give me $1 to let him pull my loose tooth. Then, I still collected from the TF.

TPBM wasn't allowed to put their baby teeth under their pillow, and had to put 'em in a glass of water on the dresser, instead. (like me... :( )

[Red Sky]

True. It was considered more hygienic, and easier for the TF, to get it from the glass. And we had to leave it in the kitchen. And Byron, you scored! I got at the most a dime. But then again, when I got a home haircut from my dad I was rewarded with a single Necco candy.

TPBM has fond memories of their parent's frugalness, and realize in the long run it was done to impart a lesson that was well learned?

[kim2900]

True - but in my case, frugalness actually translated to "poor!" But I still learned a valuable lesson from it.

"I have enough money to last me the rest of my life.... unless I buy something." Jackie Mason

Note to Steven: I've returned your ZZ Top CD and your gravy mix. They were both past the expiration date anyway! AND someone has offered to be my friend! And I didn't even have to pay them!

TPBM can relate to the that 80's song by Rockwell, "I Always Feel Like Somebody's Watching Me" with the new forum update!

[swalkr]

False, because I guess I'm out of the loop. What does the forum update do :confused:. Maybe like "Big Brother" is watching us? Someone clue me in.

TPBM loves Scrapbooking (how hard is that????)

[kim2900]

False - I enjoy seeing what other's create but I've never been a scrapbooker myself.

Suzanne, I meant that the new Forum Update that's been going on for the last few days allows you to see that other member's have visited your personal profile and even see if someone has left you a public message.

TPBM will be having friends over for dinner this weekend. (Obviously, not forum friends since it's now painfully obvious to everyone that some of us have no forum friends! :()

[NMarti]

True - well family but I guess they count. We are deep-frying a turkey for mother's day.

TPBM wants to try a new dessert this weekend.

[Ric Cisson]

True...if it involves Ice Cream or Apple Pie or both:D

True...usually 2 or 3 times a week.

TPBM...speaking of breakfast...enjoys pizza for breakfast.

[Wendy]

False ... Pizza for breakfast :eek:
TPBM ... still believes in Father Christmas

Wendy :D:D

[mikem12188]

...and the "Easter Bunny", the "tooth fairy" and "the Great Pumpkin" (My apologies for leaving anybody out but there are just too many to mention here.

TPBM is wondering what to make for their next meal.

[lsweeney]

False. I've had today's menu planned for a week. Husband's college roommate is stopping in for a long overdue (33 years since the men have seen one another!) visit.

TPBM is planning a picnic for sometime this weekend.

[swalkr]

False. Too rainy, too cold here in Missouri. Won't it EVER warm up????? TPBM takes photos in the rain, snow, ice or whatever bad weather comes along, because that person is so dedicated! :cool:

[BOBGRUETTER]

I will take photos any time day or night, in any type of weather we may have here in S. Fla. I've even shot during a hurricane and in the middle of the eye. Dedicated, I don't think so. Love of the capture, yes.

TPBM will be documenting Mother's Day.

Bob

[Ric Cisson]

False, I will be making Dinner for my mother and cleaning up afterwards and not complaining one bit.

TPBM...will be spending tomorrow with their mother.

[mikem12188]

False. But my wife is celebrating a milestone birthday next year and I am putting something together for that special day.

TPBM got some great news in the past week.

[baderms]

False, a good friend's father passed away and the funeral is Thursday. The only good thing about is will be seeing my friend again.

TPBM is tired of all this rain.

[vawitt]

Would be tired of rain, but thankfully, we've had two glorious days in a row! (soon to end, if you believe our weatherman...)

TPBM has seen the link Julie posted about Frozen Grand Central station.

~Val in sunny IL

[Bayla]

False, but if it's the one I'm thinking about I saw it on a thread posted in February.
TPBM hasn't produced anything creative in over a month:(

Bayla

[BOBGRUETTER]

True.. what with the hours I have to put in on my J-O-B, and my volunteer stuff, I am lucky if I have time to take and get downloaded and put on disc. Don't have time to even edit .

TPBM is better at using their available time than I.

Bob

[vawitt]

Depends on how much I have to do - the busier I am, the more organized. School just let out and I've been largely goofing off (instead of tackling home "to do" lists) because there's not pressure...hmmmmm

TPBM has searched YouTube for 1980s music videos :o:)

[lisabee]

False.

TPBM does however look up song lyrics (from the 80's or earlier) only to find that they may have mis-heard a line for years.

[NMarti]

True - and sometimes I'm waaaaayyyyy wrong!:D

TPBM is horrified to see clothing and hair styles from the 80's returning!

[Red Sky]

True- I just cut my mullet off the other day. It would be a shame to have to grow it all over again!

TPBM has recently received an actual letter, written on paper and delivered by the mail person, and really enjoyed it?

[kim2900]

False - and now that you mention it, I haven't received anything like that since Oct. 2007! :eek:

Steven/Billy Ray! A mullet? I don't believe I would have ever told that! :p And I hate to burst your bubble but a letter from Ed McMahon stating "you may have already won" does not really qualify as a personal letter! Sorry!

TPBM has a friend with whom they share such a special bond that they speak a language only they understand.

[NMarti]

True - and Sophie swears never to tell our secrets. :D

TPBM really wants to see a photo of Steven in his mullet!

[kim2900]

Oh! I do! I do!!!!! :twisted: Do it, Steven, do it!!!!

TPBM is at work, yet still manages to sneak peaks at the PSE forum because it's an addiction they can't quite overcome!

[vawitt]

False (school's out! Yippee!!)

TPBM hires someone to cut the grass.

~Val in cloudy IL

[mikem12188]

False. That's what 21 year old sons are for.

TPBM is excited that the Stanley Cup Championships will be starting soon!

[vawitt]

False...waiting for football season (but not rushing it!)

TPBM lives in a city that has a hockey team.

[kim2900]

False - we're known for breeding thoroughbreds, not hockey players! :p

TPBM has a layered image that's been "flattened," but desperately wishes that it wasn't!

[Red Sky]

True- I have this flattened image of a hamburger, and I really want to know what is under the lettuce. It looks like relish, but it may be some weird type of condiment. I curse myself for ever doing the "Merge Visible" command!

TPBM wonders what Helen Reddy is doing these days?

[kim2900]

True - She was the artist from the late 70's and early 80's who had hits like "Ain't No Way to Treat a Lady, "Leave Me Alone," "I Can't Hear You No More," and "I Am Woman." (starting to sense a trend here, Steven? :twisted:) She's probably somewhere currently writing a new hit song called, "I Ain't Surly So Put That In Your Pipe and Smoke It!"

TPBM remembers the horrible, horrible song, "They're Coming to Take Me Away - Ha! Ha!" Possibly the most horrendous song ever written! :eek:

[billz]

Horrible? HORRIBLE?? Kim, that's a classic! Napolean XIV took that one to the top! "To the funny farm, where life is beautiful all the time, and I'll be happy to see those nice young men in their clean white coats, and they're coming to take me away, hahahahahahaha." True ... I remember it.

TPBM has at one point been shown as the only active user on the forum ... like I am right now. G'night all.

Bill

[lisabee]

True, it has happened in the morning.

TPBM watches the Eurovision song contest (I don't btw:D)

[kim2900]

False - being that I'm a hillbilly from Kaintuckee, I don't even know what that is! (And sure you don't, Lisa! wink! wink!) :rolleyes:

Note to Bill - I will never forgive you for repeating the horrible, horrible lyrics to that song! :eek:

TPBM had a former President campaigning for his wife in their town yesterday! (We may be hillbillies but we still have voting power) :D

[vawitt]

False....but the OTHER candidate is our senator, so do we get brownie points for that??

TPBM will watch the Preakness Stakes this afternoon.

~Val in sunny IL

[billz]

True - And I boldly predict Big Brown will win it going away. Oh wait, it's over.:D

TPBM believes that Big Brown will complete the Triple Crown sweep at the Belmont Stakes in three weeks.

[vawitt]

Here's hoping (but no "believing"....so false??)

TPBM has fruit trees in the yard.

[kim2900]

False - no fruit trees. Plenty of other trees but nothing producing fruit (which is why I have scurvy!)

TPBM wonders how you can wash an exact number of socks but come up missing one at the end of the drying cycle??? How can this happen? Are the errant socks forming a coup in which to kill me in the middle of the night? :eek:

[Red Sky]

False, at least in the summer months, when I don't wear socks, Kim. They all seem to catch up to the sock drawer by fall!

TPBM has had a delicious meal tonight consisting of raw salmon, raw tuna and barbecued (grilled) eel? Anybody else like sushi? Besides you Bill? (I didn't get our table tonight.:mad:)

[kim2900]

Awww.... how romantic! You and Bill have "a table." :p

False!!! Raw salmon, raw tuna, and eel? Does anybody else like salmonella??? :eek: Gross, Steven!

TPBM had seafood tonight, as well. Cooked seafood! The way God intended! :D

[Red Sky]

Yes Kim. Bill and I shared an "intimate" meal of sushi at a fine establishment. Where did you dine tonight, Long John Silvers? And more people have fallen ill from e coli at fast food joints with uncooked burgers than from raw seafood! (Yes folks, it's the Kim and Steven show tonight!)

False-Seafood, raw!

TPBM likes to think no one is paying attention our public brawls.:D

[kim2900]

True! I'd hate to be kicked out of the Elements Village for not playing nice like I'm sure you were, Steven, all through grade school!

TPBM would liked to have been a fly on the wall when Bill and Steven had their intimate dinner! :twisted: (And with sushi, I'm sure they wouldn't have noticed one more fly!)

[Red Sky]

I admit the school psychologist checked me out on more than one occasion, but that's besides the point!

True- The fly on the wall probably heard all the dish on kim2900! Hopefully that fly got swatted before he could spread the gossip!

TPBM wants this thread returned to earth, so I ask, do you like waffles better than pancakes?

[Ellen]

False, but they seemed fine a few hours before the sushi and were fortified by Green Rivers.
edit- bad timing-
TPBM drinks more coffee than they do wine.

[Red Sky]

True! I'm a coffee junkie. Some people feed my addiction. And Ellen, you would have been part of the "intimate" dinner had you followed us home!

TPBM can read a map.

[vawitt]

true! it's the GPS i struggle with....

(BTW - enjoying the sushi battles...and I'm with Kim...fish of any kind is icky but raw????)

TPBM likes raisins in cereal

[Byron Gale]

EDIT: I took so long typing my post that vawitt slid in ahead of me. I'll leave mine here, but the next reply should rightly be to the one above me!!!

Um... that would be a qualified true. I think I read maps just fine. My wife also believes in her own cartographic interpretive skills. However, if one were to compare the results of each of us reading the same map - one would have a perfect illustration of the old "apples and oranges" dichotomy.

TPBM has trusted a GPS to get them somewhere and found out that their GPS doesn't always know where it's going.

[kim2900]

Val - False - raisins are just grapes with sunburns! ew!

Byron - False - I don't have a GPS but I've heard the navigational voice can get quite testy with you when you don't follow their instructions to turn right here. Turn right here! Now! Oh dear God, you've missed your turn! :p

TPBM is getting confused by this thread so they've decided to put themselves to bed, in hopes that everything will be clearer in the morning!

[billz]

True! I was out drinking coffee this evening and missed a lot! Yes to sushi (especially at 'our' table ... just the three of us). Yes to Green River. Yes to maps. Like Byron, I too lost out to Val's timely response. Then I lost out to Byron's timely response. I've no illusion that by the time I post this I will not have again been aced.

TPBM has been hanging around in part to see what Photo Theme #135 will bring.

[Ellen]

True- and now I'm wondering what to shoot.
TPBM hears more sounds of birds than they do of motor vehicles

[BOBGRUETTER]

TRUE... I live in a limited access neighborhood, so there is no benefit in using our streets.

TPBM can't wait until sunrise.

Bob

[lsweeney]

False. There's a sunrise???

TPBM sees more sunsets than sunrises.

[GaryK]

False..I see 'em both.

My day typically starts at 5 am so I usually get a nice sunrise on the way to the gym.

TPBM has next week off work.:D:D

[vawitt]

True...and the next, and the next....gotta love the education profession! :D

TPBM has seen the movie "Dan in Real Life"

~Val in sunny IL

[NMarti]

False - no time I HAVE TO WORK! :mad:

TPBM is very jealous of all the slackers out there not working. :p:D

[vawitt]

Um......true? False? :o:)

TPBM is VERY impressed at the neatness of Steven's (Red Sky) workbench!!

http://www.elementsvillage.com/forums/showthread.php?t=37430

~Val in cloudy IL

[kim2900]

True! Although..... Freud stated that excessive desire for tidiness could be associated with a personality disorder! Not making a definitive statement here.... I'm just saying......:twisted:

TPBM thinks that Steven posting three great pictures in which to crop this week is:
a) a very creative and clever way of encouraging more people to participate; or
b) another manifestation of a possible personality disorder. Again, I'm just saying.... :p

[GaryK]

A false..... B true.:D

TPBM thinks Kim picks on Steven waaaaay to much.:p

[Bayla]

False. Steven gives as good as he gets!
TPBM sometimes gets confused with all the references to American TV programmes and sporting events!

Bayla

[kim2900]

False regarding the regular programs but true regarding the sporting events. And I live here! (And, thanks, Bayla, for the support!)

Note to Gary: Don't think you fly so far beneath the radar that you're safe, either, mister! :p

TPBM thinks that Gary really, really looks good in a dress (http://www.elementsvillage.com/forums/showthread.php?t=16685&page=3)! :twisted:

[vawitt]

Woo hoo. Go get 'em, Gary!

TPBM has a shortcut to pixentral on the desktop!

~Val, wearing jeans and not a sparkly evening gown

[vawitt]

Hmmmm.....no Pixentral shortcutters?

OK, how about...

TPBM has some 35mm film in the house?

~Val in sunny IL

[Bayla]

False to the Pixentral shortcut....and
False to the film - I thought I had some but I've hunted high and low and can't find it.
TPBM has an undeveloped film still in a camera from pre-digital days.:o

Bayla

[Ellen]

false, I have unused mailers for Shutterfly though.

TPBM, still uses a film camera sometimes.

[kim2900]

False - I don't need to pay for the privilege of seeing that I screwed up 24 shots when I can see it instantly on my digital camera screen! :o

TPBM gets different tan lines in the summer because they have several different styles of swim suits they wear. (I have a male friend who doesn't understand this concept!)

[vawitt]

True - but more for different shorts (hiking vs. biking) and socks (ditto). Funny tanlines - river raft guides!

http://images.travelpod.com/users/cookiechick6969/thumbnail.large.asia.1156517940.tn_dscf6916.jpg

TPBM has been whitewater rafting!

~Val in balmy IL

[kim2900]

Val! That picture is hilarious!

True! I whitewater rafted in West Virginia and absolutely loved it!

TPBM sometimes wishes that the use of emoticons were allowed in real life in order to better understand the true meaning behind a comment which has been made! :confused:

[mikem12188]

False, then people would know when I'm lying.


TPBM is NOT looking forward to a long weekend.

[kim2900]

True! :rolleyes::cool::eek::o OMG, Mike!!!! You are so right! Using emoticons does tell on you when you're lying!!!

Okay, okay.... false! I am looking forward to having a long weekend!

TPBM was very shy growing up!

[NMarti]

True - I used to hide behind the stove when the neighbors came to my great-grandmothers house. (of course I was convinced she was Elivra Gulch because she was the spitting image of her!:eek:)

TPBM knows who Elvira Gulch is.

[robpendragon]

True & I heard she was a witch.

TPBM Has had an exotic animal for dinner.

[kim2900]

False - I tried inviting a Leopard over for dinner once, but my reputation for being a less than stellar cook must have dissuaded him! :( He never showed!

TPBM reads and enjoys "Dilbert," the comic strip.

[Red Sky]

False- I think the appeal of that strip is for office workers, which I am not. I like parodies, with the trials and tribulations of human interactions that mirror real life. I really enjoyed Nancy when it was out.

TPBM can't stand the sound of horse feet clomping on the ground, and for that reason wouldn't watch Westerns on TV when they were younger?

[kim2900]

Steven? Seriously? The sound of clomping horse feet freaked you out??? :eek::p:D

False - I always thought that was one of the coolest sound effects!

TPBM loves to look at old high-school year books and reminisce!

[Bayla]

True.
TPBM can't believe s/he actually sported that hairstyle & wore those clothes in high school.:o

Bayla

[lsweeney]

False. At least on the hair.

TPBM just realized she/he still has the same hairstyle (or lack thereof) from her/his high school yearbooks.

[mikem12188]

True, but then again that was only 30 years ago. Things haven't changed that much since then.

TPBM is one hot looking dude/dudette.

[Red Sky]

True. I'm a totally hot looking dude. I used to be a hot looking dudette too, until I went to Copenhagen in the early 1970's. ;)

TPBM talks in fonts. My normal conversation is Herculanum, but here I often go to Comic Sans. Tomorrow I visit my mother, and I will be speaking Book Antiqua.

[kim2900]

True! I never noticed before but I find myself often talking in Franklin Gothic Medium!!!! *bwaaa-haaa-haaa!* (Great response to the T or F question, by the way!) ;)

TPBM still feels like mommy's little boy (or in Steven's case - little girl!) :p

[Red Sky]

True- No matter what my age is, and the fact I can make more rational decisions, I am put in my place by my mother. Which is usually the corner with the dunce cap.:(

TPBM carries a lot of baggage?

[kim2900]

Ouch! True... very true!

TPBM thinks that laughter is the quickest, easiest, and cheapest way to cure all that is ailing you!!! :D

[Red Sky]

Oh, so true! I need laughter! Especially laughter that ends on the high note "hahahahhee!" Love that!:D Hate the low note laugh though.:mad:

TPBM neglects their health and welfare at times in order to put forth their stoicism?

[kim2900]

False! Although, really, my personal health and well-being isn't important compared to the health and well-being of those around me! I'd much rather look after them! (sigh!) :(

TPBM wonders how this thread often gets hijacked by two fairly twisted people!!! :eek:

[Red Sky]

True! Maybe we should just go get a booth at Monk's and hash all this out!

TPBM would order the Big Salad?

[kim2900]

True!!! Now, that's just creepy! How did you know??? "It's a Big Salad! It's almost too big!"

TPBM knows waaay more about Seinfeld then is healthy for a "normal" person living in the current year 2008!

[Ellen]

False, way too little in fact. But for the best ever on TV...
TPBM has gotten fan mail from a flounder.

[kim2900]

uh..... false?

TPBM (unless it's Ellen) would like to hear the story behind Ellen receiving fan mail from a flounder!

[Red Sky]

I think that's a Bullwinkle reference! So true, lay it on us Ellen!

TPBM thinks Fractured Fairy Tales was the best part of Bullwinkle?

[Ellen]

erm... pass on that so very important judgement call.
TPBM wishes they went to Watts-a -Matter-U

[kim2900]

True - I wish I had. Instead, I chose to attend Psychotic State University!

TPBM worked their way through college doing odd jobs. Sometimes really odd jobs!!!

[mikem12188]

False, only because I couldn't come up with a witty answer.

TPBM grew up thinking Mary Poppins was/is real

[lsweeney]

True. It's the only way I could get through my days as a daycare provider. The kids believed it too.

TPBM imagines he/she has a bit of Indiana Jones lurking within.

[swalkr]

Absolutely untrue. I steer clear of anything that is remotely dangerous.

TPBM loves photography so much that he/she will go out in a thunderstorm just to get that perfect photo.

[kim2900]

False - I love thunderstorms but also lack the Indiana Jones-like craziness to venture out in it to get the shot.

TPBM sometimes thinks it takes a bit of Indiana Jones-like craziness just to venture out in our increasingly weird world everyday! :eek:

[BOBGRUETTER]

True... Just grab your hat, whip and a camera. It'll all be worth it.

TPBM thinks the quest is sometimes worth more than the prize.

Bob

[GaryK]

So true. I almost always find the chase the best part.

TPBM is in the middle of a chase right now.

[kim2900]

Very true!!! The chase/quest has been the highlight of my life, so far!

TPBM wakes up with a song running through their head! (Note to Steven: and before you even say it, I said MUSIC - not VOICES!) :twisted:

[Bayla]

True. I usually go to sleep with tunes running through my head as well.
TPBM is thinking about changing their avatar.

Bayla
