Just starting a new thread. TPBM is working on there Master Divers Card.

OK I guess no one wants to admit that they are working on their Master Divers Card..{been there did that!}
lets see.......
TPBM wants to clean up their yard today.

Since "wanting to" and actually doing it are two separate things, I'll bite. I would LOVE to clean up my yard today! lol!

The person below me has been to a concert in the last month.

We took Megan and 5 of her friends to a Brooks and Dunn Concert on Oct. 7th in Denver. While we didn't ACTUALLY go to the concert (Suite only held six) we hung out with the roadies waiting for the concert to be over. I think that counts .... so....

TPBM has had their dive equipment out of the dive bag within the past two weeks...(either just checking/dreaming or actually using the equipment)

Getting ready to USE it... in NOV. YEAH!

TPBM will ALSO be visiting Bonaire between Nov. 7 and 15...?

Yahoo that would be me will be there 9th thru 16th.

TPBM just got some new equipment for diving.

WOOHOO Patrick & Leif - you're almost there

back to the game ---
new diving equipment????
anyone???

I have some new equipment, I just brought a new pair of shears at the local drug store for diving. The old pair gave up the ghost on Bonaire last month.

TPBM has meet someone famous in the last week who did not dive or drive in Canada.

LOL, Cecil...wrong or right side of the road!

Man Cecil what a thread killer you are LOL ;-)

Ok lets get this going again!!!
TPBM has started to Christmas/Holiday Shop!!

Hi Freddie. That would be me. I have only bought six things so far but it's a start.

TPBM is going on vacation to somewhere other than Bonaire within the next two weeks.

That's me.....We're meeting my parents in Mesquite, NV for my dad's 85th birthday.

TPBM is getting/or had rain today. (No clouds in the sky here and 75 degrees!)

That would be me, it has stop now. thank goodness.

TPBM is having a bad hair day!!!!!!!!!!!!

I definitely fall into that category today
Time for a hair cut so it's straight as a board....

TPBM has/wants an alternative fuel automobile

OMG that is so me! We are spending over $600.00 a month on gas and are going broke!!!!!

TPBM has solar power somewhere on their property.

Julia-- Bob has a solar powered battery charger -- would that count?

The only thing solar powered I have in my yard are plants does that count?
Here's my logic:
Solar power + tomato plants = cherry tomatoes!
I picked the ripe cherry tomatoes this morning as the winds from our nor'easter were blowing things about.

mare

OK, we have a solar water heater

TPBM is going to be diving in cold (69F or below) water within in the next 2 weeks

ok that would be me I hope!! as soon as the seas calm and the muck goes away we will do a couple more dives before we put our gear away for the winter.. I have some maintance to do on the cross so I have to get back in the water...


TPBM is going to do some inside remodeling or renovation this year

Now that I've had time to scan a few threads I also found that I can play again! I'm planning to strip wall paper, re-paint and replace draperies/window coverings soon!

Let's see TPBM is going to be sailing soon!

Wooooo HOOOOO!
Seb and I hope to get in one last sail before the boat comes out of the water. It will be coool, breezy (only the jib, please!) and FUN!

BTW, I DO have a solar powered rainbow maker but, since it has rained so much in NYC, I had forgotten all about it!

TPBM makes pancakes from scratch....

mare

I make buttermilk pancakes from scratch. My kids wont even taste buttermilk but love the pancakes.

TPBM has something fun planned for Halloween.

ME!! I am taking my 3 year old godson trick or treating, he's Woody from Toy Story !

The person below me has been to Salem, Mass.

MMMM...buttermilk pancakes! My grandmother used to make the best ones!

We have something fun planned for Halloween. Michael does this "graveyard' thing in our middle yard area with fog, headstones, spiders and bats popping up from the headstones. He's expanding this year, so we will see. The adults taking the kids around enjoy it more then the little kids I think...LOL!

TPBM wants dive gear or accessories for Christmas

LOL Kelly, that's what I get for typing so slow! (actually got a phone call in the middle of my post)

What do you all want to do? No one has posted that they've been to Salem, Mass. yet, but...

...I want new dive gear/accessories for Christmas this year. My reg + computer setup was stolen 2 years ago (as some of you may remember) from the rinse tank at a Bonaire resort. No big deal since I forgot about it until 11 o'clock that night. (I accepted full responsibility.) I also would like one of those Titanium Hyperstretch wetsuits. Those sound really nice!

TPBM is eating up all of their halloween candy!

That would be me. I always buy a bunch and we only get 10 kids....don't want it to go bad.

btw, I also make pancakes from scratch.

tpbm still buys a real Christmas tree.

my turn.....always get a real tree. I love the smell, and for months afterwards, everytime I vacuum....I am reminded of Christmas

TPBM is drinking a cup of coffee.

LaDonna

Got that one, although it's cold and strong.

TPBM is planning on raking leaves soon.

OK that would be me In fact I could have answered the last five or six questions The Salem trip was wild.. especially this time of year..{I learned how to read tarot cards, and did a pretty good job of it, and that was WITHOUT wogga!!}
OK back to the leaves the little buggers!!! Yes it is time to get them into a bag and up to the end of the road for town pick up...we can't burn them here anymore and I miss the smell of the burning in the fall..

TPBM still smokes!! NOT me but I know there are a few of you out there!!

Hmmm....I know 2 smokers who just got back from Bonaire...;-)

Hangs head in shame, got that one. I have to type fast as I'm due to go have a smoke.

TPBM play dominos regularly.

Cecil have you seen that you killed the thread again, what up with that buddy.

Patrick how about you starting it up for the last time here we may have to let this die a natural death after all.....

Well Freddie: I guess we might as well let it die, we just have to make sure Cecil does not play if we want to keep a game going. LOL ;-o

Hey, I did not think it would be that tough. Jeeze, what kind of island people are you that do not play dominos?

Well we played Friday night with a big group.

Sooo, TPBM is getting a new camera.

Thats not me cecil it been cancelled. LOL :-)

Cynde and I are both planning on purchasing new cameras.

The person below me can see snow today.

I'm close on that one, from a mountain in my town you can see the White Mountains which are presently snow covered. Alternately I can walk into the lab and there is massive snow on the liquid nitrogen bottles, but since I'm not allowed to play and it's not real snow....

Yeah - thankfully that is not me! It's 70 degrees here in Chicago land! Where is Lara? Isn't she in the mountains?

I was on the phone with my pay Harvey (it's his birthday) and he told me that it is snowing in Lake Tahoe.
I did not see the snow but at least we talked about it....

No snow anywhere near me. It's 81 and sunny here. "it's a beautiful day in the neighborhood".

CindyR (this is why we live in Florida)

Well, there was snow on the noon news here..it's 80 miles away at Tahoe (yep Mare, still coming down) but I did see it! LOL

TPBM lives in New Hampshire (okay, Cecil, I thought I'd give you a chance to play)
or alternatively, may be taking a trip through the Panama Canal soon (just in case AK Dan wants to play twice??)

(Message edited by babsoleary on November 4, 2005)

OK I got the NH one and my father took a trip through the canal last year and I saw the pictures.

TPBM is being harassed by a critter right now (except for Jennie who has to be harassed by a wolverine).

ME ME ME!!! Purrseus and Fluffy are both trying to convince me to get off the computer and feed them. Daryl and Beaker are "talking" to each other, which means they want me to let them out of their cages. AND...I just got back from feeding the critters where I was harassed by a coyote, bobcat, 6 foxes, 2 raccoons, 1 deer, 4 possums, 7 squirrels, 1 skunk, 1 pine martin, 2 goats, 2 pigs, 1 pony, and one horse (not to mention the barn cats!). I think I am covered!

TPBM is going to see a movie this weekend (and has to tell us what they are going to see).

Did not I say wolverine? Sorry I misspelled your name but my lack of spelling skills is legendary. On the other hand, a martin is pretty close and I'm not sure I could tell them apart (nor would I ever want to try).

No movies for me, but I am going diving.

I thought you were referring to me...but I had to try any way. I just so wanted to play. You are very correct - pine martins can be evil little critters. They are pretty good at chasing away everything, including hunters. LOL! Glad it can pass since I hope to never have to care for a wolverine.

So...movies any one?

No movies for me either, but I'm going diving too:-) Cecil, water temp is 64F...what's yours (probably colder ;-)

Jeanine they were referring to me and my problem with raccoons in the attic

So Patrick perhaps you should rent the movie "Mousetrap" for the evening

Patrick, having raccoons in the attic -- is that preferable to having bats in the belfry?


mare

rather have the bats easier to get rid of. One down two to go

Patrick...you play nicely with those cute little bandits! I don't want to be the killer of the game, so I will accept watching a video/dvd instead of going to the movies. I'm just so excited because we are going to see Saw II tonight!!!! I know...grow up!

So, my amended TPBM is going to watch a movie this weekend.

Uh...we're watching National Lampoon's Vacation right now, does that count?

TPBM is either packing or unpacking dive gear over the next couple of days

Thanks Cyndee that would be ME!!!!!

TPBM is wishing they were going to Bonaire this week.

Patrick, I was kidding about the bats in the belfry. To have bats in the belfry is to be eccentric....

It's bad when on one gets your joke and you have to explain.

And, that would be me, wishing I were going to Bonaire this week.

42 days, 21 hours and 31 minutes.

TPBM is wearing socks with stripes.

mare

Mare, you did not have to explain your joke to me,after having raccoons in my attic. Having bats in my belfry was using your joke as a joke does that make any sense at all? LOL :-o

(Message edited by pat_t on November 5, 2005)

Patrick,
I've stayed in houses with bats in the attic and they are hard to get rid of...especially if one has bats in the belfry.

Hmmm, anyone wearing striped socks?

mare

Been there done that also!!!!! ;-o-:

uh-oh, maybe it's time to let this thread die.

I'll give it one last chance.

THE PERSON BELOW ME IS WELL OVER FIVE FEET TALL.

that should do it.

mare

Is TEN INCHES enough?

TPBM has eaten at least 4 of the following unusual foods:

Squid
Sea Slug
Sea Urchin
Blowfish
Octopus
Jellyfish
Raake Orret
Poke

yummy!

oh... and I have striped socks, too.

OK that would be me!!!!
we BBQ squid in the summer and who doesn't like Calamari??
Sea Urchin is not one of my favorite things it tastes VERY salty and slimey!!!
Blowfish are the best we skin them and then fry up the tails. yummy!!! tastes just like chicken..
and Octopus {pulpo} is a bit chewy for me...

OK TPBM loves to fool with Photoshop or a program like it..{Judy and I are going back to school next week for a course on Photoshop}

HEEHEE that would be me! Now there's an idea....a class! Finding I have a little more time on my hands since my Dad is pretty settled and Alison is driving! Uh, oh, this could be dangerous Freddie!

TPBM is seeing some beautiful Autumn color right now!

YESSSSS!
It is gorgeous outside and the fall colors have begun. We've got reds, oranges, yellows, and still greens.

TPBM is plans to grill a meal outside today.

That would be me Steak and Potatoes on the grill with fresh veggies.

TPBM is sitting down with a glass of wogga

Is there a camera on me??? I JUST sat down with a glass of, you know , BOX WINE!!!! I may becoming way to routine!!!!!!!! OK
TPBM has his/her passport in a place very handy..

Funny you should say that because i was getting mine out of the drawer as i type.

TPBM is waiting on word when they can go back to Bonaire.

UH...that would be ME! I'll have the word after January 1!

TPBM went diving this weekend

Cynde, didn't YOU go diving this weekend? LOL ! You get to play again...

I, too, am waiting for word on when I can go back to Bonaire... maybe as early as Feb...

LOL, Kelly, yes I did...it was FABULOSO! (MUY FRIA) but fabuloso! I'll post some pics a little later:-) I think Cecil said he was going diving this weekend, we can have the "my water was colder" battle...LOL!

Kelly, Oh, I hope you get to go in February. I will be there for three weeks, so we may finally get a chance to meet! No, I didn't go diving this week-end. Refuse to go on the Jersey shore line, vis is just so bad and too cold for me.

Well I went diving this weekend and should have gone golfing. The women folk were away so we had dispensation, the problem was the ocean was totally trashed when we got there, major surf dude. So we piled back in the car and went to the lake which looked a little high but calm and the vis did not look bad. We geared up and climbed in, well there was nobody home and the vis sucked. The only living things we saw were two tiny bass and a slew of mussels. After 15 minutes I typed Bogus on my Magna Doodle and Art nodded in agreement and we headed back. This did mean we could drink earlier.

TPBM is happy to be at work today (unlike the rest of us).

I was happy to be at work yesterday and hope to also be happy at work today:-{)}

The person below me has dove the Dry Tortugas and has a photo or two to share with us;-{)}

whew tom...thanks...I was afraid Cecil might have killed the thread again with that one...LOL!

Yeah, and you think the Dry Tortugas is going to keep it going .

LOL!!!

Double LOL!

Oh my Cecil! I wanted to dive there, just have not had a chance yet. Someone out there has surely done the Dry Tortugas on a trip to the Keys....

Triple LOL!!!! Cecil, can't say I have been there either! How about an easy one???

Uh...It's TOM who TPBM Dry Tortuga'd us...LOL!

Okay, time to save TOM!

I've been diving in Dry Tortugas IN MY DREAMS!

and TPBM has voted already today.

mare

I VOTED already....but it wasn't TODAY...I joined millions of Californians in voting absentee! LOL, just got done watching the news where they reported that over 1/3 of the voters in my county are regularly voting absentee....more than 1/2 in the last election!
Gee, maybe someone will dive the Dry Tortugas soon so we can keep this thread going...
or..... TPBM has already planned their next dive trip....which will not be to Bonaire!

I VOTED TODAY! Though my charming wife refused to come in the booth and help me vote.
The person below me has left the lens cap on their camera when they put it in the uw housing.

I voted today and also worked for the Board of Elections from 4;45am til 12;45am I just got home... and I now hear my bed calling me!! Night all. and yes to the above but lets see if someone else owns up to the lens cap in the housing trick if not then I will take care of TPBM tomorrow when I can think of something to ask for....Night!!

What's a "lens cap?" I don't think my POC camera has one...;-) Hope you got some rest Freddie....

oops thanks for reminding me LooHoo... a lens cap is just that something that protect the camera lens and in some cases it is removable from the camera all together..or sometimes it is built into the camera and just slides open..

OK I left the cap on when I put it in the housing but I did get it out before we dove.. so no harm done...
TPBM ,,,...>>>,,,,<<<<<<?????? has an old dog...

Freddie, I was kidding ;-) I've left it on when I've tried to turn on my land Cannon many times...LOL!

O.K. I do have an old dog. Ginger, my jack russel terrier that can still jump 3 feet high in the air! I really thought as she got older, she would stop her bouncing, but we should have named her Tigger! The person below me has put up their Christmas lights already! Not me, I wait till Thanksgiving week-end, but everyone seems to be rushing the holidays lately, so just curious as who has done it already.

P.S. Sorry, Cecil, it was Tom.

Come on, I know someone has put up their Christmas lights already!

I'm with Debbie...wait till Thanksgiving! However, my neighbor has their lights up and they are TURNED ON already! LOL!!! I'm sure someone will confess Debbie.

O.K. Maybe not! Let's try an easier one.
The person below me watched "Lost" last night! It is my favorite show and one of the few ones I rearrange my work schedule around as I work nights. LOL! BTW, if anyone wants to play on who has put up their X'mas lights, please feel free!

Hi Debbie! I love Lost!!!!! Can't seem to get enough of that show. Were you as surprised as I was regarding the ending?

TPBM: is hosting Thanksgiving Dinner this year.

Jeanine, Yep, I was shocked! Hubby had guessed it, but not me!

You're kidding me! Wes guessed it too! Men!!!

Back to the game...who is hosting Thanksgiving this year?

Okay, First of all...I CONFESS...we have our "winter" lights up and turned on....it's a business thing....brings in more travelers off the street. My HUGE electric bill continues until mid-March.

AND we're hosting approx. 20 people for a Thanksgiving/ Mission to Mississippi feast to thank those that directly helped in my husband's trip in September.

TPBM enjoys Survivor.....

Oh...me me me! I didn't watch the last one because it just seemed like the same old thing, but Guatamala is a good one! I'm not sure how good it is for tourism though! LOL!

Linda, thanks for "fessing up." LOL!

TPBM lurks on BT daily

Cynde, The OLN channel has been showing all the old Survivors on Wednesday nights. (I'm addicted) We have a nephew who tried out and made it ALMOST to the final cast. We haven't heard lately....maybe he's filming the next one. They have to keep it pretty hush...hush. Remember the Amazon? Christy (deaf girl) is from Basalt (between Glenwood and Aspen).

I lurk almost daily but post occasionally , so don't qualify.....so let's "out" a lurker !!!

Game continues.......any lurkers ?

Where the heck is Tanya when you need her.

Who's lurking out there?

mareTanya

There you are. lol

Boy I could have fit into alot of these categories.. We always leave our Christmas lights up outside and I even have a few of them inside that I leave up.{they are my "Window Treatment" LOL} we aren't hosting Thanksgiving this year but I do like Survivor, and these days I am mostly a lurker. {I read every single word that you people write though..On Tuesday there were 185 posts...}
Since Tanya didn't give us our next challenge I will
TBPM just had their rugs cleaned for the holidays..OR TPBM has a three day weekend OFF.

time for a new thread
