Unfortunately no. I wish I had an opportunity to swim in the ocean but, I'm more afraid of jellyfish than I am sharks.

Not really. I live in a popular UK tourist destination so in August, half the population of the country flocks here on holiday. The traffic is ten times worse, the air is dustier and more polluted because of the extra traffic (oh, and many British tourists could easily win the title for Most Inconsiderate Driver In The World). The beaches are swarming, and full of extra litter (did I mention the inconsiderate behaviour of tourists?). Many of the car parks whack up their parking charges throughout summer.
It's also more difficult to find activities for my sister to do in this month because more places are over-crowded and some leisure facilities reduce or cancel sessions that disabled adults can attend, in order to accommodate more holidaying families with children instead (again making the most of tourist money).
And I don't really like hot weather all that much.

Sorry, I'll stop ranting now. 😅

As a U.S. citizen, I would much rather have a British person swear at me in traffic. I need a change! 😆

TSBM loves mayonnaise?

hymnhehim

I wouldn't say that I love it, exactly.. but I do like it.

TSBM is from North America?

Justa_G00f

No but I SO need a kick in the behind until I get some momentum going!

TSBM can fix a car motor?

Nushnushganay

I did take a slant 6 engine down to the cylinders and replace the head gasket, put it back together and it ran, when I was somewhere between 19 and 21..hard to remember now exactly because so much was going on then. It was great fun. Must add, it was in someone else's shop who had all the tools and who was on hand to advise.

TSBM likes brunch?

Justa_G00f

I can't really say. I can't keep a sleep schedule because of side effects so I eat when I'm hungry. Breakfast through dinner are relative to perspective. Though, a midnight snack is always at 12am. 😁

TSBM has a cozy garden to sit in?

Nushnushganay

I have a folding chair by a dwarf rosebush, some irises and echinacea and earlier in the year, spring bulbs. It's not much, but it's small and low maintenance.

TSBM likes deep-dish pizza!

Justa_G00f

I love deep dish "stuffed" pizza! The "food capital of the world" gets offended when you don't say stuffed.
And don't you dare come here and ask for ketchup on your hot dog!🌭 Seriously, some places will refuse and won't even supply ketchup for you. 🤣

TSBM gets motion sickness?

Arkane

Negative

False but I am enjoying new music I missed while growing up.


TSBM talks fast.

WhatCobblers

I do, yes. Trying to remedy it a bit because my voice is also quite quiet so am asked to repeat what I say quite often, which makes me then start stumbling over my words. 😅

TSBM has a loud voice.

Gonnawin1111

probably yeah lol

TSBM is a good singer?

WhatCobblers

I can sing in tune but don't have much power or vocal range.

TSBM can play an instrument.

Justa_G00f

I can play multiple instruments but drums/percussion is my main.

TSBM can create their own recipes.

Nushnushganay

yes! I did purposely develop several recipes a few years ago, using a food scale because my own methods never involved measuring and I wanted to fine-tune some special allergen-friendly recipes. Someone told me I should publish a cookbook and my answer to that was, "I'm not a celebrity, not a chef. I'm nobody...so no publisher would touch it, and if I self-published it, again, who would buy it?" so they remain in my personal collection. I did get one of mine featured in Lifehacker, though. Not that that gives me anything but bragging rights.

TSBM had a nice weekend?

Gilles8001

Above average here

Same question as above

Justa_G00f

Very up and down but good overall.

TSBM has had to wash the smell of skunk off of their dog or cat.

Arkane

Negative.

TSBM had a "I said what I said" moment recently.

Justa_G00f

Yeah, a few of them.

TSBM can look up with one eye while looking down with the other.

healthxsims

Nope, that sounds cool tho.
Keeping up with the the theme, TBSM can make their eye pupils shake when they want to.

Gonnawin1111

Nope!

TSBM can wink properly

TooKelsey

Not without looking like a bulldog chewing a wasp!

TSBM wishes they could 'motherlode' IRL!

Hatchet_Face_Pride

Oh. Yes. That would solve so much in my life rn..

TSBM loves a good one-pound bowl of boiled peas.
