How far along are you, now? We are midway through Season Two. It has become significantly less predictable adding to my love of (and new obsession with) this series. We were actually a bit late to meet friends for dinner last night because we wanted to squeeze in an episode before we left. Although, I am super-annoyed at the Lila storyline. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

Wow! I have had this saved in my Netflix queue, but was not expecting much from it. Now, I am super-excited to see it eventually!

Tell me about it. Mine even try to stop me from doing housework and cleaning up after them! Zoe' has an obsession with getting "made up" in the bed. Sabre is unphased by the vacuum and will stare at it laughingly as I push it inches from his kitty face hoping he will move. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

I "deep clean" twice a year (over the course of a week) and since this is the time of year when we are likely to have more guests, it is always early December and early June I do that. I spend about 30 minutes every day keeping things clean and then a couple hours once/week cleaning those things even more including keeping up with a rotating "deep clean" schedule of things in between the official semi-annual "deep clean". Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

Silk makes a really good nog. I love spiced apple cider, and since I also love wine, this time of year I make what I named a "Blondie" which is two parts champagne (sparkling white wine) and one part spiced apple cider.

We have been using Restaurant.com for about two years now. By the second week of each month we get an email with a discount offer, and by the third week usually they are all 90% off. Where we live, we have a lot of one-of-a-kind restaurants we love that participate, so we do lunch at those spots on the weekends and always bring a certificate.

I was not planning on watching this season, and said--just before the preview of Heroes vs. Villians--I was done with Survivor. The game has become boring to me from a psychological appeal which is the only reason I was ever in to it. But, I am mildly interested now after learning how the next season will be divided and to see who they bring back to fill each category. W/r/t to who won this season: I did not care if it was Natalie or Russell. Seems the consensus here disagrees with Natalie, but I am fine with it and was leaning her way toward the end--don't care to explain/not worth the energy to sway opinion on the logistics of the game. The one thing I can say about Russell is he made the season interesting. I did not like him in the beginning and am still no fan, but do not dislike him either. In life I tend to value those who entertain me more than yawners like Mick. Thank God Mick did not get a vote. He did not even so much as ride a coattail; he just drifted like a limp piece of wood down the Russell stream. Mick never said or did anything remotely entertaining, much less strategic. He might pay his bills on time and help a patient here and there in real life, but he does nothing to stimulate me. If it were not for Russell, I would have quit watching after the first-or-so episode--I will give him that.

I blame your cold medicine ... When they brought in the first "ice truck killer", it was clear the writers were leading us in the same direction as Dexter: This guy is not the killer. Still, it was a possibility, but the guy never popped a lozenge. That was the main thing the surviving victim could recall--that the killer was addicted to lozenges. There was no mention of the lozenges again and still has not been (I just finished the eighth episode when the doctor is revealed as the real ice truck killer), but the doctor as the real "ice truck killer" was really obvious to me, despite I kept waiting for him to pop a lozenge and he hasn't yet. There were all sorts of clues: The way he spoke about prosthetics. When he told Deb he studied the human form in Paris. When he wanted to make molds of her legs. The fact that he was interested in Deb (seemed an unusual match for a doctor to go for a cop), who just happens to be Dexter's sister. As I posted before, I have yet to be surprised by anything in this show, but I still really enjoy it mostly because Dexter is so hilarious. I was not expecting the show to be a comedy before I watched it (was thinking it would be more twisted & sadistic), but that is what it is to me: A really witty, darkly funny show. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

We have finished the eighth episode of the first season. Good news: Really like the show. It is fun. Bad news: Predictable. I will take entertaining predictable over mindless unpredictability any day. And maybe that is why it stays interesting when the viewer is allowed that "ah-ha" moment. I seem to have those moments far too early, though. I have a love/hate relationship with surprise. Generally, I enjoy surprise. Not surprised so far by Dexter, but still enjoying it. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

Just caught on to this... Am on the third episode of the first season. I was going to post after the second episode regarding the awesome morning-breakfast-routine intro... Neat show so far. Has its quietly hilarious moments. I like it! Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

[Agree with this post in its entirety] Reminds me of I Love Trouble. That movie really made unhealthy cow hormone interesting, yet also thought-provoking. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

I have not seen an interview, but just started reading that book. So far, I LOVE it! Foer makes a great case for eating dogs. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

Even that image was an agonizing one in my childhood mind. I will not even put a bell on my kitty's neck. What being wants to walk around jingling all the time? Bells are cruel. They are why I do not donate to the Salvation Army. Even when one is paid to jingle, it is still--ironically--inhumane. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

The documentary film, Earthlings, was released in the "olden" days of 2005 and took more than six years to try and obtain footage from the inside of our modern-day factory farms. (Earthlings thread link here.) Let us not forget the 143M-pound meat recall just last year as a result of a third-party investigation of a large slaughter plant. "The Humane Methods of Slaughter Act does not protect chickens and other birds, which represent 90 percent of the animals slaughtered for food each year in the U.S." Citation. Surely, then, you can provide evidence abuse--at least most of it--is "dealt with". Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

I think it is possible to be a good actor so long as you have a great director (and supporting cast) and not fully every understand what the hell your role really is about. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

I am looking forward to its DVD release with caution. I find I am either way into these movies as others with similiar tastes, or completely do not understand what the fuss is about. Call me silly, but I like "the process" of making these types of things--especially if one is familiar with the actors' mannerisms. It is very different than animation-supported voices (which I also love). Having said that... I still do not understand the "big screen" allure. I much prefer the cost, convenience and quality of home--not to mention less chance of catching airborne viruses from an enclosed room of heavily breathing strangers. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

We plan to watch it tonight. Arrived Tuesday from Netflix (Netflix rocks). I hope it is as good as expected, despite Brad Pitt. I have a weird aversion to Pitt--always have. While he is a decent actor, I can't help but think he doesn't really get half the roles he plays. Ironically for me, I cannot take him seriously. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

I go through all the mail--shred what needs to be shredded, recycle all that can be recycled, file what needs to be filed, etc. It is mostly all for me anyway. Bill used to get his bank statements in the mail (I kept urging him to go paperless and he kept forgetting) and I would leave them unopened...until the entire file drawer filled up with his unopened bank statement envelopes. At least he filed them. With all these "do you go through your spouse's X" threads, I realize Bill and I do not really think twice on the rare occasion we might need to. There is nothing off limits, really, but nothing either of us ever feel a need to go through. I take the AMEX receipts from Bill's wallet each week, he goes into my bag anytime he wants chapstick (because he is forever losing his). Having said that, we are best friends and have been together, in love with each other, for more than nine years now. I cannot think of anything that would bother me for him to go through. What bothers me is when he does not place it back EXACTLY how it was. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

That was the joke when I originally posted them--smaller boobies looking big & fake underwater. No surgery required! Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

Thank you, all, and good night!

And....deleted. Back to watching Julie & Julia. It arrived today from Netflix with Public Enemies and the latest Harry Potter. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

Agree, however--with the exception of the extreme (minus-As for whatever reason) I feel very sad for those with fakes. I will get shit for saying so, but I believe one can tell a lot about a person by the aesthetic choices they make. And I admit I thought about fake tits for two seconds just after high school when many of my peers received such as a graduation gift or a "congrats on getting counseling for your eating disorder" "gift". I love my barely-C na-nas. And I have seen Skymama's na-nas sans water bra and they are FANTASTIC!

SO funny... This is actually the first year I will not be mailing Christmas cards. I know most of the people who still send me a card only do because I send them one every year. The rest are new parents sending the photo-mailers of the kids dressed up by the tree. This year I, too, will be sending the mass emailer wishing everyone good cheer, with the exception of grandma who will still receive a card. I really don't care much about getting cards in the mail these days--they just don't have money in them anymore, so I say, "What's the point?" Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

I agree (and wish this option were available to people, too), however, he does not know what is wrong. At nine-years, kitty is not "old". I agree with your statement on the basis that some people just cannot "let go" when it becomes more about their attachment than the animal's best interest at heart. Having said that, if there exists a fountain of youth, I would spend my last dime buying a drop for my Sabre. I do not even want to think about... Sabre pierced my heart with his kitty claw and has been laying on top of it purring ever since. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

So "it" cost $35. Clearly your "we-have-it-done-of-course" wife and children view kitty as a "he" or "she" they adore. You love your wife and kids, they love the cat, ergo you are an asshole if you do not take kitty to the vet. It might be a $40/month medicine and unless 9-year-old kitty lives another 8 years, you are still not looking at $4k. Maybe kitty just needs a $400 surgery. I mean--at this point--you do not know what is wrong; aren't you are being a bit of a drama king? Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.
