    Now that's something not even I will watch Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

    This also fascinates me. With all the recent advances in technology and more and more people becoming centenarians. Personally, I do not wish to live past when I can function on my own. Lord, please take me before then!

    Me & your mom should have coffee No offense taken at all, Lisa. I spend my self-recommended time making sure I'm current on events, research things unknown, work & responsibilities. The rest of the time, I enjoy mindless activities like reality T.V. And I absolutely do NOT understand those that do not watch T.V. I flippin love my MTV Admitedly, though, I fell asleep after the first half of Dancing with the Stars. But, I think for me, that was the point

    Or it could be ignorance--which is just as ridiculous Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

    Call me Captain Obvious, but isn't the reason for that anonymity? People have a natural-born need to communicate/have relationships of various kinds. It can also be a very scary thing to face people who know such intimate details. It's easier for people to fill the void of in-person relationships by sharing online with strangers and relating semi-anonymously. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

    I designed both of mine. Here is my "skydiving" tattoo. Sorry it's a little blurry. I wanted something that did not involve a parachute and/or actual skydiver person---every one I've seen, in my opinion, looks ridiculous. So I went with wings & sky.

    I had an insane craving for French Toast Sunday---had a big ol' heaping plate full at The Beach Hut which makes the best breakfast in the South! Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

    I'm stoked it's going to be super-cold this weekend---Now I can wear my Steven Tyler jacket to the Aerosmith concert Saturday night. It's a haute number with patchwork, long and ties around the waist. It reminds me of Steven Tyler so I call it my Steven Tyler jacket. And that's my story Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

    Thank you for that.

    I think if you re-read my post, or maybe I didn't communicate it well-enough, but I'm not disagreeing with what you've said here.

    Maybe it's just me, but this scenario sounds similiar to the rationale of paying illegal immigrants here in the south, far less than others to do the same job, but to the immigrant it's far more than they could make in Mexico. But, I pose the question: Even if $20/hr is a huge amount of money for that area, is it still right to pay them just that, with what is at stake? Both groups might be grateful for their earnings. But, people in third-world countries are also grateful when a huge American or other industrialized-nation's company comes to do production & set-up shop in their neck-of-the-woods, providing a lot of well-needed jobs, but also in some cases, exposing them to hazardous conditions and polluting the hell out of their natural resources b/c there are no regulations. Just makes you think---I hope I didn't jsut throw this into speaker's corner. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

    I didn't presume to think "low" or "high" as I have no idea--that's why I'm asking I'm just curious, given the recent incident/story, what people in this day of technology, that put their lives in that situation are compensated. Just curious cat. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

    There's one thing I can say I'm definitely not. Maybe it's b/c I'm "vain, prideful" But, I just don't see the point in being jealous of others, or worrying about a spouse/SO. It's a waste of time. True story: My roomate freshman year of college--beautiful, smart, double-major in chemistry & biology--had everything going for her. I was going through a tough time, without details, my life was screwed up in comparison--but she didn't know that. The point is she blew up at me one day, literally, b/c my "hair was always perfect without effort" and things "came so easily" for me. This girl was so genuinely upset and distraught and JEALOUS when in reality, given the situation, was a royal waste of her energy. She had far more going for her at the time and should have focused that energy on herself and her wonderful accomplishments. Jealousy = waste of time. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

    I'm with you. I try to do so conversationally, without coming off crass. But, admitedly, it annoys me when people cite beliefs simply b/c that's what they were taught by their parents or someone told them and they agreed. I just don't see how I can have an intelligent conversation with someone who has not done their own investigating and formed their own opinion on a subject. Like you said, I might even agree with their statement/opinion, but it doesn't matter to me if the only reason they have that belief is b/c they were told to.

    Bad way to go.

    PLFXpert replied to micro's topic in The Bonfire

    It's always been my position that burning to death might not be so bad, as it would only take seconds to burn through the nerves and then you wouldn't feel a thing anymore. It would suck until that part happens, though. I have to go with being eaten by a great white shark. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

    Of course, I've said a prayer for the families. I'm curious, on the subject---on NBC news last night, they interviewed a man who spoke about the lives of coal miners. One thing in particular had me curious--he said generations in these families have gone to work in the mines and though some try to get out of it, "the money" lures them back. Does anyone know what these men are compensated, ballpark, for what they do? Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

    That wasn't the end---the girl from the sovenier store (who turned out to be the head scientist's daughter) snuck Miles in to see Nim and they all went swimming together in the big tank. The end of the show was the scientist telling Miles he couldn't do his community service there anymore. Apparently he was fine from the probe, just sudated.

    By chance, I saw the season resummed and caught the episode last night. To my relief, as we suspected, Nim is OK Had to post that for the fellow animal-lovers

    I have to say---I LOVE gifts. But, this year, my entire family (who usually buys luxury gift items for one another) decided to donate whatever we wanted to charity and just get together for Christmas dinner--no gifts. It was seriously the best Christmas ever. This could go in the obsessive-compulsive thread, but one thing that always stressed me out and makes me anxious is having a car full of things that I have to unload, unbox and put away, find a place for, etc. I LOVED not having to do that, even if it meant not getting the great items my parents usually spoil me with. It also meant not having to shop/think about a present for anyone. We had more time to talk, laugh, play with our dogs (we had a house full of 7 with everyone over) and drink---a LOT. So, I have to recommend the no-gift thing. It's practical, it's easy, it's less stressful and it's not what Christmas is supposed to be about anways. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.
