  1. Just to be clear...I wasn't referring to you as germaphobic. The statement just reminded me of my friend. Most of the time I find it entertaining & hilarious. Sometimes, though, she's outright impossible. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.
  2. Hollywood happened. There is so much pressure to be everything to everyone. At her young age, it can cause all sorts of twisted thoughts/ideas of what is "hot" and what is "not" Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.
  3. I dont' watch the vote-off show except during the commericals of Survivor. I'm SO glad to see that Brenna was obviously voted off AND happy I was not tuning in to sing her farewell song Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.
  4. I don't know what you want to do, etc. And I hope I don't get flack for this statment. But, it's always been my opinion that unless you're going to be cutting someone open with a scalpel, as doctor's do, or defending someone that might serve a life in prison, as lawyers do, or teaching our future generations about the world, as teachers do (and maybe a couple other possibilities I can't think of at the moment), then I don't see the point in graduate school. In sales, you can make more than all of the above AND not have the debt of graduate school. Even if it's not sales, there are plenty of other jobs in your desired field that would most likely still hire you (depending on your qualificiations) w/out graduate school so you still get the job you want minus the added debt. Of course, I'm biased to sales, but in positions I interviewed for experience counted for more (after a degree of course) than graduate school. None of the above wanted to hire anyone w/out some sort of working/related experience in a professional atmosphere. Anywho....just my two cents Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.
  5. I've never included it on a resume', (if you were a part of other clubs, etc. leaving out the skydiving position would probably not hurt you), but in interviews I've played it by ear/gut whether or not I mention it. My current position---when I was interviewing a little over a year ago---I saw a picture in my now manager's office of a military plane, a Harley, etc. So I made talk around those things and took interest (I actually was interested, but whether I am or not, I always mention interest in a potential employers obvious interest in something that's decorating his/her office). He mentioned jumping and I felt comfortable at that point, to mention my experience. He thought it reflected very well on me for the sales position I was entering. He even calls me now on a gorgeous day and says "Hey, you've already met quota...just between me and you....I mean...it's beautiful today" I'd go with your gut feeling.

  6. My "friends" uncle is a rich engineer. And his tool box is smaller than my smallest shoe box
  7. By your avatar you have a beautiful kitty And then there's the issue of your body and your right to die (if you want to). It's not all about "things"
  8. "changing oil" Let's not go there... OK, I will My father.......despite that I bought my own car at 15 (OK it was a GEO Metro but it's all I could afford and his only rule was that it be brand new)...would NOT let me drive it (did I mention I BOUGHT IT!) until I changed the oil & a tire Looking back I'm SOOOOO thankful he did the things he did. But imagine being a know-it-all-prissy 15-year-old in this situation Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.
  9. I don't care either way. I just felt like ranting Seriously, not just plastic surgery, but a lot of things...it annoys me that people just can go do horrible things to themselves and even others and yet we've developed all these great new things that allow people to remedy their mistakes in a minute for a dollar. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.
  10. How you doin' Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.
  11. I heard about this on the morning talk radio They were describing the mysterious lines on the under breast and placement of her nipple stating it was definitely surgery-related. Interesting....why do celebs always deny their surgeries? It sucks for women like me who utilize self-preservation, not the latest technological innovation My Oma died a goddess (I'm biased of course)---no wrinkles, gorgeous skin...OK, so she barely had hair, but she took very good care of herself and never once shoved a needle under her eyes, in her cheeks, on her forhead or her lips. I'm not necessarily knocking it....but lately the plastic surgery epidemic has really started to annoy me. Sorry to hyjack, but it's sort of related Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

    Honesty

    I don't know...for me there exist different levels of lies. I've fibbed a lot in my time. Not nearly as much anymore, was more an adolescent thing. Fibs for me = exaggerations/stretches of a truth. But not really when stating facts about myself or things important, more so to make a story a little more interesteing or about an event or someone else I've definitely lied, but can't remember the last time I did

  14. Oh my gosh....I can't believe I forgot: Steal Magnolias That is in my top 3 favorites! Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.
  15. I have a will (includes living). My hunny and my parents know & would honor my wishes, but you never know....I mean, we have been known to all ride in a car together. If God forbid something happened to all of us, someone needs to know to pull my plug, take all my organs, and where to send my shit You put anything you want in them. I mean, mine goes so far as to say exactly what I'd prefer be done with my ashes after cremation, though I left that open to be changed if good reason. Believe me, nothing is too silly or too trivial. They've seen and heard it all Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.
  16. Oh dear. Didn't know it was a gun stand. I'd go with particle board then Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

  18. I have a germaphobic friend that was really convinced in college, she had a tapeworm She won't eat sushi, either The best sushi-grade fish IS frozen. Typically it's immediately frozen after the catch and defrosted just before preparing. But, my favorite sushi joint buys fresh-catch daily and then the rest is of the previously frozen type mentioned. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.
  19. I like my answers Ikikura Nigiri Hana 81% Adventurousness, 56% Complexity, 40% Heartiness Ikikura Nigiri Hana (Squid and Salmon Roe Flower) - Not only are you an adventurous sushi eater, but your sushi choices cleary demonstrate an aesthetic sensibility towards your dining that sets you apart from the crowd. Doubtless you have your favorite sushi bar's phone number on speed dial (SO TRUE)...and would only go there when your favorite chef is wielding the knife. Dining with you is a view into the floating world of sushi elegance, and you always know the perfect choice from even the most lengthy menu. You understand the zen of sushi and can appriciate the elegence and taste of an perfectly sliced piece of fish. You have great wa. Marzipan Almond You scored 74% Dark, 51% Crunch, and 52% Chewy! You are a marzipan almond: Marzipan center topped with a roasted almond in a dark chocolate shell. Like the song, you're a little bit of everything, all rolled into one. You're not afraid to get down and dirty. You're a wild child with your eyes facing fun. You have your moments of creativity, inspiration, and sweetness without going overboard. Congrats, you are a fine piece of chocolate indeed! Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.
  20. I don't get it? Turtlespeed... "all my baby pictures" OK, just all the ones where I'm in the tub Geez, is asking someone to infer the obvious too much around here these days? Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

    Enough with this madness...
  22. We weren't poor...but all my baby pictures show me in the tub w/ empty shampoo bottles. My mom said I loved empty shampoo bottles and butter tubs I was also VERY into fort-making...in my room, in the attic, outside.....loved forts Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.
  23. Ooo, yes, excellent for fort-making Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.
