TPBM dreamed of being a firefighter when they were a child

False, I dreamed of being a Forest Ranger. But I have been a firefighter - Worked for Rural/Metro Fire Department in Pima and Maricopa Counties, Arizona. And I worked as a medic for the Forest Service in the Saguaro Lake Recreation Area, but that doesn't really qualify in my mind as a stint as a "Forest Ranger".

For Eden -- we loved Castle in the Sky and just bought Spirited Away and Kiki's Delivery Service. We may be complete converts now. We'll keep our eyes open from Princess Mononoke.

OT - but YES! Howl is very good, but it is his last film and he was getting tired of the whole business and very ready to retire. Personally I think Princess Mononoke is his best. The animation is breathtaking and the story line is compelling. It is NOT animation for children - its actually quite graphically violent in places (though I can't recall him ever even going near sex.... though there tends to be a boy/girl interest in all the films, all of the relationships in his films are pretty innocent). I definintely put Mononoke in in my top 10 all time movies.
Other Miyazaki films to check out - Castle in the Sky, Spirited Away, Naussica - Valley of the Winds, Porco Rosso My Neighbor Totoro (this one is very much a children's film - its quite sweet)

[evangundy]

True - the second year we had been riding, we left from home, rode out Hwy 30 to Astoria, down the Oregon Coast to Lincoln City then inland on Hwy 18, cut over to Champoeg Park, through Canby and home. We didn't know what we were doing, him on a mountain bike and me on a hybrid. He pulled a BOB trailer loaded to the gills: canvas 7x7 cabin tent with long poles, 2 prs of blue jeans each, I had sneakers and sandals, each had 2 books, way too many clothes. We didn't weigh our bags, but I think I'm glad we didn't. We met people from England, Germany, Wales and other states, had a great week. Second tour was just a weekend, but we packed smarter this time and pedaling was so much easier :-) But we're going to do the same kind of week long trip (with a group of friends) in September but we have much better gear and knowledge now. Should be fun.

And actually, I am supposed to be packing for a weekend bike tour this weekend. I leave in 3 hours and I'm not ready yet :-0

True! I drove about four different routes and finally found one that works (all paved, and hardly any narrow windy busy roads). Got them to let me use a locker at the gym (which I don't normally have since I'm only a seasonal instructor), so I won't have to carry shoes and CDs. I'm almost there.

If it is a 4 cyclinder most definitely! I consider it a skill everyone should know. Of course having one meant many people in college couldn't borrow my car and no awkward saying no. :p I don't have one right now and I miss it so much!

TPBM wears some sort of make up daily.

[chakra]

Its true! I am such a girly girl. . . but not very much, I'm all about the "natural look" (whatever that is. . . mostly I'm aiming for the "not-too-old-and-haggard" look!):rolleyes:

TPBM in contrast, hasn't worn makeup in years.

Chakra

True, I've only worn makeup once in my life...to prom back in 1978. :D

TPBM enjoys art museums and galleries.

[salsabike]

Yeah! A total museum/gallery weenie. We once did a vacation we dubbed "The London Museum Death March" because we exhausted ourselves going to every museum we could fit into ten days. We loved it.

TPBM would rather NOT have to work so she could do as she pleased (although she might be just as busy).

[mimitabby]

TPBM just bought new socks.

[chakra]

Nope. No new socks, but a fancy red handbag for passing my comp exams! Yes, it was a close thing between the handbag and more bike stuff:cool:

So, on that note:

TPBM would go for the bike stuff without a second thought, cos she never carries a handbag.

Chakra

[Eden]

That's me -never had a purse.... the closest I've gotten is a small backpack

TPBM

[sundial]

Nope, just a retired pro cyclist from the 70's. ;)

The person below me likes strong coffee. :eek:

Saw a great sign when visting Northampton in the western part of MA - Northampton, where the coffee is strong and so are the women.

TBPM loves to sing.

TPBM is marveling at the lovely weather.

Ok, I'm new to this!

TPBM has sealed their blacktop driveway on their own.

What me? No way! Although I'm not so bad at plumbing :D DH doesn't have to get his lily-whites soiled with S-bend blockages (which sounds dirty, but not in the way one hopes :p)

TPBM loves baking.

[bmccasland]

True! Just don't enjoy heating up the kitchen during the summer months. I'm starting to go through withdrawals. Will probably bake some scones tomorrow for breakfast.

TPBM can't wait for the seasons to change - tired of summer or winter.

[hermitclub]

Although I do love summer, Autumn is my favorite season.

TPBM is adding to their bicycle stable this weekend.

[SouthernBelle]

TPBM can't wait for the seasons to change - tired of summer or winter.

Sorta true. It's so hot now and I love fall, exept that winter comes after.

TPBM is really trying not to use her credit card, but is failing.

[Blueberry]

TPBM is adding to their bicycle stable this weekend.


TPBM is adding to their bicycle stable this weekend.

I'm really trying not to....but there's a pre-loved Bike Friday (the much faster road model) that is sorely tempting me. Don't know if it would be credit card or cash, though. (and yes - I'm ready for my favorite season - FALL!)

TPBM wants an Xtracycle.

CA

[arielmoon]

I want a cycle period! Trying to justify the expense!

TPBM is randomly checking the weather with hopes of getting a few miles in today.

Yep, trying to find the better temps to take the dogs out for their exercise. :p

TPBM is going to a Birkenstock sale. :)

TPBM is counting the hours and minutes until she get's off work (beside surfing TE forums!);)

[bmccasland]

TPBM is counting the hours and minutes until she get's off work (beside surfing TE forums!);)

Guilty as charged. The report I'm supposed to be editing is sitting on the desk next to me.

And there's a thunderstorm brewing, so no bike ride this afternoon.

TPBM is going fishing this weekend.

[chakra]

Nope, no fishing. Supposed to be getting ingredients together for a BBQ even as we speak. . .

TPBM wants a bakfiets!

False--I have enough cargo to haul as it is. ;)

Yes riding home and being awake for it! No I haven't done a brevet (or want to) and no I don't have green eyes. :p

TPBM likes food that is so bad for you.

[Eden]

Very much! I am so worn out and realized I have a 27 mile bike ride home. Should crawl under my desk!

TPBM has green eyes.

I do! Really its an intermix of blue and brown - the brown is not fully expressed so it appears yellow, and the blue mixes with it to create green. Supposedly it is the most rare color and will likely eventually disappear with all the global gene swapping we do these days. (I was looking this up the other day... I photograph a lot of faces at work and was noticing some people with 2 differently colored eyes - not drastically different, like one blue and one brown which has some well known causes, but one eye a little darker than the other - noticeable, but not drastic. That lead me to some eye genetics sites - fascinating)

TPBM drinks tea.

[Pax]

Yup (and I have green eyes)

TPBM craves salt

[badgercat]

I've never played before, but here goes...


TPBM craves salt

TRUE. ALWAYS. except at those times that I'm craving sugar... though sometimes I crave them both at once. :P

My week was over Friday morning about 8:30am when I finally got off work! Spent the day sleeping :-)

Yay! TGIF!!

Not so! I've never attended one, actually.

Does a 5 shot soy latte count? Probably not. :rolleyes:

TPBM is driving more slowly to try to increase gas mileage.

[crazycanuck]

Umm apparently with a diesel & manual vehicle it's not the same? I will have to get ian to explain this a bit more to me :o

(i'm just trying to drive a manual again after 4yrs!!!)

TPBM is excited that Lance is doing the Tour Down UNder in Adelaide (:rolleyes:)

[Aggie_Ama]

TPBM is excited that Lance is doing the Tour Down UNder in Adelaide (:rolleyes:)

Not really but then again I am not too excited about him at all. I live in his hometown, the Lance-mania never stopped here. It would be cool to see him race but I would rather see him in the Leadville 100 than a road race.

TPBM thinks driving a 5-speed is the best way to drive.

[Blueberry]

TPBM thinks driving a 5-speed is the best way to drive.

Definitely! We refuse to buy an automatic. Even my Element is a 5 speed (though they seem to be getting harder to find).

TPMB loves Fall.

[crazycanuck]

What's a 5 speed? Is that a manual?

I don't mind fall..it's not as hot! That's months away though :p & can't wait for it to be hot soon!!

TPBM is on facebook & doesn't like the new layout

TPBM is on facebook & doesn't like the new layout

Yes it's a manual transmission. But if you don't drive correctly, manual can suck up more gas than an automatic. I have a 6 spd Jeep 4 door and I get better gas mileage than my other Jeep which is smaller and a 5 spd.

TPBM is trying to figure out the menu for the week.

[sundial]

False.

TPBM likes night rides.

False.

TPBM is traveling today.

[kie_fujo]

not unless you count going to the bmv travelling!

tpbm is trying to decide what's for dinner

Not really... just got off work - my 12 hr shift turned into 13...long day, tired and dinner might just be whatever I can snack on :-)

TPBM is going away for the weekend...

Love to watch baseball, but mainly when the Yankees are playing. Haven't played baseball since jr high, nor softball in many years.

Not yet, but I have a few great ideas floating around in my head.

TPBM has lots of leaves to rake this fall (I know I do!)

Yup, six 70ft+ tall maple trees in the yard.

TPBM really doesn't want to go to work today!

[ASammy1]

True! I'm thinking about working from home today!

TPBM has an unusual pet...

[makbike]

How about a chinchilla? Zephyr has been with me for over 10 years now. She loves to tease the cats and Harper. Her favorite treat - raisins.

TPBM has at least one Eva Cassidy CD in their music collection (what a voice).

[bmccasland]

TPBM has at least one Eva Cassidy CD in their music collection (what a voice).

Nope. Who? :confused: Dare I admit I've never even heard of her?

Cute chinchilla by the way!

Sticking to the music theme....
TPBM likes the Zydeco beat. Extra points for being able to do it.

[makbike]

Sadly, Eva Cassidy lost her battle to bone cancer. Fortunately, she recorded a lot of music before she departed our planet. Check her out if you get a chance.

[Aggie_Ama]

Sticking to the music theme....

I do like Zydeco. I just love most music. Not a big fan of rap with the heavy bass but I will even tolerate it.

TPBM had a great weekend outdoors without getting on a bike. :eek:

[Pax]

True, went motorcycling instead!

TPBM is already hungry for lunch. :o

[Aggie_Ama]

TPBM is already hungry for lunch. :o

Oh motorcycling, fun. We did landscaping and went to a Parks & Wildlife expo.

Yes! I start thinking about lunch after breakfast. The day goes quicker once lunch is done. :rolleyes:

TPBM would rather be somewhere else.

[badgercat]

True--the changing leaves and crisp cool air makes autumn my favorite time of year back home in the Midwest--not much of that going on here in Arizona. Makes me wish I was in Wisconsin.

TPBM likes sushi! (I'm trying to talk myself out of spending the money to get some for dinner tonight :p)

Not at all. I just came in from mulching my new plantings and watering them with water from my newly-constructed rainbarrel. Very satisfying. Tomorrow my appliances arrive, and although they will sit in the living room for a few months, at least I'll be able to plug in the fridge (and admire the stove and dishwasher!)

TPBM got some good news today!

[Aggie_Ama]

TPBM got some good news today!

Not yet but the day is still young!

TPBM has found joy in something unexpected recently.

[Aggie_Ama]

TPBM doesn't have more than 3 pairs of normal shoes..

False, I love shoes. Although my habit is no longer monthly, in the past 12 months I got one pair of sneakers (had to forget mine for a trip) and one pair hikers.

TPBM feels good about herself today.

[katluvr]

Yes, I do feel good about myself today.
Last week got a new hair do and have been getting LOTS of compliments.
I DID get my butt out of bed, went to gym and ran today.

TPMB does not have to work tomorrow (Friday) and is doing something fun!

[kie_fujo]

i did have to work today, and tomorrow too!

tpbm want to change careers

Nope! Changed careers a year and a half ago - Marine to Paramedic - and I love my new career!

TPBM will have/had an awesome Saturday morning ride!

[crazycanuck]

I had an aweeeesomeeeee ride in de hills this morning :) It was only 33km but it's all training :)

TPBM is going mtn biking tomorrow

[IFjane]

Nope! But had an awesome road ride this morning.

TPBM will see her DH for the first time in 2 months this week...:D

[sbctwin]

Nope, not me, but I just got home from a 4 day trip to West Yellowstone, where snow and rain erroded the "West Yellowstone to Old Faithfull bike ride and back" for the 2nd year in a row. There is always next year:o I did have a wonderful visit with my sister, so not all was negative...

TPBM is taking Monday off (not because of the holiday) to catch up on their sleep and unpack the the car :)

[Flybye]

Nope. School for me - leave home at 8 and get home at 7.
Will you please quit planning this trip to Yellowstone? Every year you do this we get a freak snowstorm!! We had FIVE inches. F.I.V.E. Stop the madness!
TPBM got new clothes today.

[bmccasland]

TPBM got new clothes today.

That was LAST week, but I am wearing some of my new clothes today. ;)

I wish you'd quit looking up my britches leg like that...

But yes... wool socks, trowsers, double-breasted frock coat, and even the kepi is a jeans/wool blend. This image is from Shiloh National Military Park last April, but we wore the same get-up at Gettysburg and Chickamauga this past summer...

TPBM wields a sword, too, and probably knows how to use it...

Tom

Yes, I did and he made many changes that I'm still adjusting to on my rides.

The person below me is watching the Presidential Debate

[badgercat]

TPBM is voting early this election.

I haven't decided yet, but I'm considering it. Voting on election day is much more of an experience, but voting early is a lot easier. :p

TPBM is hungry right now, but really shouldn't be based on the dinner and snacks she's already had!

[bmccasland]

TPBM is hungry right now, but really shouldn't be based on the dinner and snacks she's already had!

We won't mention what I had for dinner, or the snack that followed.
BUT.... I'm still craving something to follow my two zucchini nut muffins for breakfast. There are some almonds calling my name... Good thing I'm not at home. Must resist going down to the cafeteria and get a buttery biscuit. Must resist.

TPBM is wearing bright colors today (for work/school) not on the bike. I expect bright colors on the bike. :D

[Aggie_Ama]

TPBM is wearing bright colors today (for work/school) not on the bike. I expect bright colors on the bike. :D


Nope. Black and white. First cool snap and my office is cold (the AC is blowing right now), pulled out the lightweight turtleneck. It is wonderful.

TPBM is already Christmas shopping.
