reason to believe

Sometimes I'll say to him " do you see a kitty??" And he will perk up and look around toward the window or go to the window to see if another cat is outside. Works with "squirrel" and "moth" too

TPBM same question?

Tech Noir

I'll tell my cats, "Do you want to play with Mr. Wormy [their toy]?" and place the toy near them then pull it back and add, "Well, Mr. Wormy doesn't want to play with you! He told me you were a mean jerk!" Of course, they're not having it, and they ended up kicking poor Mr. Wormy's butt. I play all kinds of crazy tricks on them, and trust me they return the favor.


TPBM's favorite piece of clothing?

reason to believe

My blue London Fog jacket with a grey/black checkered umbrella with matching specks of blue in it so I coordinate well outdoors

TPBM likes to use swear words?

Tech Noir

Swear words only come out when I'm extremely comfortable with a person. I don't want to get in the habit of using them because I'm afraid they might accidentally slip from my lips at my workplace.


TPBM has ever called someone a swear word to their face -who was not a family member?

reason to believe

Not that I recall. The most recent thing I did was call my boss the B word under my breath as I listened to her inside her office behind her closed door, clearly hearing her complain wrong accusations about me to someone on her phone. but you can't do that to her face obviously!
(And I never refer to other women by that word, just her and a friend that betrayed me almost 20 years ago) it's reserved for special cases only!

TPBM has a low or a high tolerance for frustration?

Tech Noir

I guess it's low, but that wasn't always the case, I think.


TPBM does what to relax?

reason to believe

Sit in a recliner chair (which invites my cat to curl up on my lap) and either read something or watch the tv to a favourite show, either that, or just peace and quiet will relax my brain.

TPBM ever been in a television show audience?

Tech Noir

No, but Rae has.

Same question.

reason to believe

Been to Dr. Oz and Live with Kelly & Michael (when Michael was there and Kelly wasn't, I saw Jude Law within my arm's reach lol)

TPBM ever knew anyone that ended up on tv or reality tv or a game show ?

Tech Noir

Yes. A friend of mine ended up in a talk show about chubby kids when he was about 12 yrs. old. But I didn't know him back then.


TPBM would like to appear on TV?

reason to believe

Besides showing up on the news, I tried to be in the background of the "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt" when they were filming, but I didn't see anything once the episode was out. But sort of, I've entertained the thought of working as an extra for film/tv during my summers off, daydreaming I might end up in Bates Motel or X-Files when they come back. I'm sure a lot of extras will be needed to be a sick plagued victim that Scully checks over,

TPBM 's most favorite memory?

Tech Noir

^ Being an extra would definitely be cool!


I had a best friend in college and there were time when I was hanging out with her that I felt as if I was floating on air. We were so in sync; I had never experienced anything to that degree like that before her or afterwards. We had some good times.


TPBM's favorite album?

reason to believe

Last time I heard an entire album I liked was One Republic "Waking Up". (I usually like songs on their own, rare if I'll enjoy an entire album listen) so yeah, this is my fave album thus far! ( the end instrumentals on the song "waking up" can make me tear up just a little lol)

TPBM same question?

Tech Noir

There are too many that I love.


TPBM usually listens to the entire album or mostly stick to the hits?

reason to believe

Mostly hits. If a song comes on I don't know and that sounds boring or not catchy, I skip it.

TPBM has musical talents?
