I don't see anyplace that says modify your avatar and all I could make was this vaguely Asian, mildly creepy person. And now the avatar has totally gone away.

She's back, Jane, trying to get you to focus. I'm going to answer "the person under me" observation Gracie posted and then maybe you'll respond to what I post? Will that be ok or are you still too frazzled?
True, I did live through '78 but I have never lived through a relentlessly pounding, brutal winter like this. Clearly it's addling some people's brains.
Ok here we go:
The person under me has never tried squid, oysters or any other squishy sea creatures.

Oh, I have but not any time lately. I only eat fish very occasionally and usually not the nastier, squishier varieties.
The person under me is starting to go stir-crazy.

False. Possibly because I get out of the house every day.
The person under me uses a blanket which she/he had as a child.

Sort of true. I have an afghan knitted by my grandmother some time before 1950. She and Sister Sylvester would sit in the kitchen, knitting and sipping whisky, every Saturday afternoon. This afghan is mostly an ugly gold with stripes of pale blue and off-white, all the stripes knit in chevrons across the width. The ends have no fringe, because they are knit into chevrons that look like this: > > > Thus, the afghan is very sturdy, only slightly mended over ~65 years. It did shrink some when I threw it in the wash, but not all that much.
The person under me had a tippling grandmother.

Ummmm . . . true, since I am still alive. I don't remember a blizzard in '78. Maybe it didn't hit Idaho. (And nice avatar, Jane!) The person under me had a crab cocktail for dinner.

False! The person under you has not been dining out and carrying on with her long absent husband.
The person under me can wiggle his/her nose.

False. I can't curl my tongue, either.
The person under me has never read a romance novel.

False. I can't curl my tongue, either. The person under me has never read a romance novel. Absolutely False! For obvious reasons . . . The person under is rooting for the SeaHawks to win the Super Bowl.

Post by joew on Jan 31, 2014 1:19:10 GMT -5
False. I'm not rooting for anybody (but it'd be nice if you're happy with the outcome).
The person under me would prefer summer heat to this cold winter.

False. I'm not rooting for anybody (but it'd be nice if you're happy with the outcome). The person under me would prefer summer heat to this cold winter. False. I prefer moderation in all things, including summer heat and winter cold. Fortunately, I live where I usually get just that. The person under me ate dessert for breakfast this morning.

Post by gailkate on Jan 31, 2014 10:09:39 GMT -5
False - but maybe tomorrow. Re. Joe's PUM, I prefer moderate as in 73, occasional stimulating extremes but mostly the Golden Mean. The PUMe refers salty to sweet.

Um, that was supposed to be prefers. Does anyone mind my using PUM? The phrase sounds like a boss/drill sergeant to me.

Post by Gracie on Jan 31, 2014 19:34:51 GMT -5
True! I much prefer salty to sweet (not to say I don't eat sweets, but.....)
The PUM does not like ice in a drink.

I just abbreviate Person Under Me because I think it sounds less superior. Also I'm a lazy typist. If it bothers you, you don't have to use it, but may I?
Gracie's statement was: _____does not like ice in a drink.

Gracie's statement was: _____does not like ice in a drink. Absolutely false. Stuff the glass with ice, and fill up the spaces with water. It MUST be ice water, or I can't choke it down. A necessity on our boat is our ice maker. No worries, gk. I clumsily missed the meaning of PUM. Use any abbreviations you like, and I'll ask when I don't get it. The PUM thinks that GFY means Good For You. (I use that at work. )

False. If I ever heard/read that, I wouldn't think it meant what you said. I am a bad person.
The PUM can play at least one musical instrument at least passably well.

You are not a bad person. I am, and I enjoy it. True! A couple, at least passably well. Working on that some more. The PUM does NOT have a Super Bowl menu planned.

True; and it was true even before the game.
The person under me sometimes takes looong naps.
|
|
|
Post by Gracie on Feb 2, 2014 22:22:53 GMT -5
True true TRUE. The puppy encourages such activity. Or non-activity, as the case may be.
The person under me does not like scary movies.
|

Post by BoatBabe on Feb 3, 2014 9:45:30 GMT -5
Absolutely true! Sheesh.
The person under me enjoyed a nice, quiet afternoon at The Mall instead of watching the Super Bowl.

False - some cleaning, some napping (and yes, I nap every day!) some food prep (Jerry traditionally has egg salad sandwiches on Super Bowl day), and then... Renée! Now that was the way to sing our anthem, with the military chorus and No Wardrobe Malfunctions.
The PUM distinguishes between heart-pounding thrillers and psychopaths/vampires/supernatural evil.

Not sure how to answer that question, GK. The PUM feels rather squished after all this time!

We interrupt this program for a brief exchange....
squished, ~B~? because my question isn't clear or you've been squished by an extraterrestrial giant worm?
Maybe we should get Gracie to define what she means by scary movies.

Ummm, False. There are no distinguishable marks among scary movies, heart-pounding thrillers and psychopaths/vampires/supernatural evil for me. I face them all equally: with my hands over my eyes. The person under me is NOT squished, because I don't weigh that much, but rather is squeamish about raw oysters.

Post by Gracie on Feb 4, 2014 11:05:35 GMT -5
I'm totally with BoatBabe as far as scary movies of ALL sorts and I watch them the same way she does.
TRUE. Raw oysters look like mucus to me.
The person beneath me, like me, has no tattoos.

Post by joew on Feb 4, 2014 12:21:51 GMT -5
True, but I very much enjoy raw oysters: they taste better than when they're cooked.
The person under me is a night owl.

Post by doctork on Feb 4, 2014 13:15:10 GMT -5
Unfortunately true, given my work, but I wouldn't be a night owl if I could help it (aside from the fact that I chose and love my work).
The person under me prefers turkey sandwiches the next day to roast turkey on Thanksgiving Day.
|

Post by BoatBabe on Feb 5, 2014 9:56:54 GMT -5
TRUE! My Dahhlink's Monte Christo sandwiches are better than the original meal.
The person under me will NOT be freezing their patootie off at the SeaHawks Victory Parade today.
