Silliness The Person Below You-Fun Game - Page 244

Not really. Yes, I'd like the day to be longer, but not so passionately as to be despondent. IMO that hour of daylight is more important in spring and summer. In winter it gets dark far too early anyway, so it doesn't matter as much.

PBM has a list of books they're going to be reading next and they more or less stick to it.

poohbear_nc · 10-27-2024, 09:21 AM

Nope - I'm an impulse reader - ready to try new unknown authors or re-read a favorite.

TPBM has put away all their summer clothes.

issybird · 10-27-2024, 12:25 PM

Well, I held out one pair of shorts and one pair of flipflops, just in case. But yes.

TPBM buys their Halloween candy at the last minute, so it's not a temptation.

DNSB · 10-27-2024, 04:22 PM

Nope. I tend to buy it early so I'm not panic shopping on October 30.

The PBM does not give out treats at Halloween.

Sirtel · 10-27-2024, 05:14 PM

True. Halloween is not really popular here and not many people celebrate it.

PBM has bought a new ereader this year.

poohbear_nc · 10-27-2024, 07:03 PM

Yeah - got a new Paperwhite - my older model was giving me fits - kept refusing to download stuff.

TPBM buys an Xmas present for themselves every year.

DNSB · 10-27-2024, 09:30 PM

Not really. I'm not big on buying myself early Christmas presents and then storing them till Christmas.

The PBM does not go out to celebrate on New Year's Eve.

pdurrant · 10-28-2024, 04:09 AM

I sometimes go out to a dance, but not this year. (I'm resting a foot.)

TPBM has also had plantar fasciitis at some time.

Sirtel · 10-28-2024, 06:28 AM

No.

PBM has visited a dentist recently.

DNSB · 10-28-2024, 02:16 PM

Yes. Not my favourite place to visit.

The PBM has a reading schedule.

Sirtel · 10-28-2024, 04:00 PM

Ye gods, absolutely not. What a killjoy.

PBM is considering buying a new ereader.

pdurrant · 10-28-2024, 04:09 PM

I think I'm always considering it. But for the past several years, the answer has always been "no".

TPBM wears knows the approximate Abbé value of common optical materials used for spectacles.

DNSB · 10-28-2024, 05:46 PM

I know most of the plastic lens material values. My spouse had a high prescription between extreme myopia and astigmatism. To get lenses that didn't look like the bottom of a pop bottle, her lenses were ordered from Germany.

The PBM could wear contact lenses but prefers glasses.

issybird · 10-29-2024, 11:28 AM

After cataract surgery, I only need dollar store reading glasses.

TPBM generally reads three or four (or more) books at the same time.

poohbear_nc · 10-29-2024, 11:54 AM

Oh yeah - my home Kindle screen is a list of my current reads. If a title gets moved off the page it will probably never get finished.

TPBM is a compulsive snacker.
