My favorite is the back-up singer who repeats the announcer..."Mr. Tooillet Paper Re-FILLLL-er!" I can't resist singing along Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

Ha! I used to love that show, but don't recall that episode. I'm sure it went something like, "Do you think it'd be rude to ask for my 5 gifts back?" If you don't believe in the sanctity of marriage, then I say, get married, get presents and get annulled! I'm old-fashioned though, so couldn't do that, but damn the temptation---I could really use a new set of dishes and refuse to buy them myself since I no Betty Crocker:-) Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

Oh my gosh, you're not silly and he's not only a dog. **Hopefull vibes your way** I would just die if something ever happened to one of my "kids". I don't plan to have my own children, but my animals are my babies. I really hope you find Leo, soon! Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

Ha! You don't retire early winning "The Most Donations to Co-Worker's" award. I realize I'm sounding very selfish here, but I have my monthly charity donations, donate my volunteer time and usually am good with doing favors for others. Having said that (to make myself feel better) I truly believe in making YOURSELF happy before others---I just don't think you can be the best person to others, unless you've satisfied your own needs first.

Oh my gosh, the wedding thing. I'm part of the club that's been together 5 years and constantly get the "so when are you getting married" question. It's the most ridiculous thing and I never ask this of anyone b/c I understand how annoying it is. Futhermore, is it really fair to buy wedding gifts (in addition to the pre-wedding shower gift, the bachelorette party gift and then the baby shower gift, the baby born gift) for all your friends who are now divorcing (all within the time my boy-toy and I have been together) and have received nothing in return? These same friends complain we have not had a party since buying our home two years ago--I think I'll throw one and require everyone bring a "house-warming" gift.

$50 is nothing for my manager and co-worker's making $500k/year. But, I jsut switched from my previous company (their competition) and forgo'd my previous commission to start all over from scratch. I don't believe in giving before receiving--Ha! Just kidding, but like you said, you have to bribe these people. Having said that, I passed on the opportunity to help them burn their feet in parafin or yank off their eyebrows with hot wax. Maybe next time... Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

Happy you got your truck back. It's not as bad as this: A friend of mine leaves his truck at the office over the weekend--A white Ford F150. When he returns, he finds a pile of ashes, 4 tires and a contorted license plate. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

For the upcoming season starting again this Fall: In my "US Weekly" magazine (yes, I'm such a sucker for buying this every time I get in the checkout isle) it had an article on some clues the writer's leaked out such as: 1. In the re-run, pay closer attention to the two guys sitting down on the boat that kidnaps the boy--it's obviously "the others" but something is supposedly fishy and foreshadowing about these two guys---possibly that cloning or other type of experiements are going on, on the island. 2. The "monster" in the woods is really a gigantic sloth. 3. Other new characters from the island will be introduced---it's never said that the tail end of the plane people died or survived--only the nose is known to be dead--they allude to other survivors from the plane crash in a different part of the plane. 4. Also, Michelle Rodriguez of "Blue Crush" and that one racing movie with Vin Diesal, will be joing the cast. I love this show---it's refreshing Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

I have seriously had it with the "chipping in" for so-and-so's birthday or whatever in the office. It's been a problem in every job---as a mortgage broker with 100s of others in my office, someone had a birthday everyweek and I was asked to "chip in" for someone I barely knew, but didn't like much of what I knew. I worked at my previous company for 2 days and was in training, when they interrupted our training and asked if we wanted to "chip in" for the company holiday gift tree. I switched to my competitor not long ago and now work from home and have worked here 2 months and am being asked to donate $50 to a spa treatment for 2 of our sales assistants who have dropped the ball on all of my first sales accounts--I had to pick up the pieces and save the deal each time and I'm supposed to be sending them to a spa for working "so hard" for me? Does anyone else see my point, or am I just really stingy? Oh, and my birthday is in June--so I never got the damn balloons or cake in school either since I had the "summer" birthday. Maybe it's a childhood scar. Ha! Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

From the movie "Old School" "Oh, it's so good. Once it touches your lips. It's so good" "Hunny, do you think KFC is still open?" "All you have to say is 'earmuffs' and you can say shit, fuck...'cock, balls'" From "American Wedding" "Told you that guy wanted to fuck me" "Everybody wants a piece of the Stiffmeister" "Double LizzyAnthus--Ooo, Oh Ohhhh!"

I think first, you have to understand your man's definition of "romance" or showing you he loves you. My boy-toy is not about candles & moonlight---but he's amazing at all the little things--like automatically checking my tires and oil before I go on long trips, or noticing how I put things away and just putting it their for me the way he knows I like it--or paying attention to details, like if he orders for me, he knows to say "she doesn't want bacon on that". From the sound of it, you might think I "trained" him well, but actually he just does these things. And, though he's not great at surprises, though they do come once in a while---he's amazing at occassions, never forgetting my b-day or our anniversary and always gives the gift that I didn't know I wanted, but suddenly find myself can't living without, makes special surprise plans, etc. I used to think it was important to have the guy come home for no reason with flowers, or surprise you with a candlelight dinner, blah, blah, blah, then I realized, some of the guys I know who do these things are actually jerks and forget everything else--only doing that to "stay in good" with their girl or to get laid. Romance isn't dead, I don't think anyways. I think it's just different and not so traditional anymore. Some traditions are worth keeping like opening doors, etc., but I'm so glad some have gone out the window. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

Hi guys, I got an e-mail that there would be a feature on the "Today Show" this morning about the Pro Swooping Tour. Just wanted to spread the word Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

I love questions like this and discussions. I minored in Sociology so we had a lot of similiar debates. Actually, I was only 1 course away from that being a double-major. To answer your question---I would have to have more time to think about it all, but I don't believe, by definition, we do. I always do what I want, but there are always circumstances that affect why I choose to do the things I do. I argued once that all of our actions are selfish---meaning you do them to gain something for yourself. For example, volunteering/giving to charity, both of which I do, but I do them b/c it makes me feel good that I am helping. If it didn't 'make me feel good, would I do it? One women argued, "well, what about changing my kid's diaper?" Aren't you changing it allows you to maintain the knowledge you are a good mother, plus you don't particularly want to hear her cry or smell the stank, to be bold? It's definitely not a stupid question, Sarah, just one that can't really be proved either way b/c it is a matter of the mind, and we, as a people, have not come even close to fully understanding it. The military spends millions of dollars a year studying teleportation (moving yourself or object with your mind) thinking if we could do this, it would be a leg up in war times. The mind is a very powerful thing. I believe whole-heartedly in it's potential abilities and "mind over matter". It really works! Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

Could you live the rest of your life single??

I've missed you, too, Muenkel! I went to a wedding this past weekend for my former DZ owner of the DZ that I started jumping at 4 years ago. We car-pooled with an old friend who's been doing some incredible things lately (I love ya, Kaz!) and she mentioned something on DZ.com--which led me to you We'll be in Deland this Saturday jumping---it's been a few months, frankly, and I'm so ready! Last year was a rough year for us for a million reasons--mostly my boy-toy's family. Anywho...it's great to see you're still adding your two cents I'd pay more than that, for it, 'cause I love ya! Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back. -
No worries! My boy-toy calls me "Salmon head" b/c I literally have it every day. I never get tired of it. I love it--just make it different ways. Sometimes grilled, sometimes baked, sometimes barely seared (if you buy sashimi-grade---tip, if you do, the "previously frozen" is actually what all sushi places use). Sushi is a fantastic option, too. Get the pieces (without the rice--b/c white rice lacks the compenent in all carbs that makes you feel full--that's why people joke after eating Asian food that you're hungry soon after) and mix the wasabi in some soy sauce (I'm also HUGE on the benefits of soy). We get it once a week. It's SOOO good! Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

You know your stuff! I also take Salmon Oil gel tablets every day for that reason. It keeps your skin/health very young and healthy. Some things are hereditary, but all the women on my mom's side have taken fish-oil and even at close to 90 when my Oma passed on, she didn't have a single wrinkle (no plastic surgery--we're not into it), cellulitle, nothing. I really, really, stand by the claims of eating fish (like salmon) high in Omega-3 fats and oils and taking the supplements. You can avoid the "mercury" thing by just making sure you buy "wild" salmon and buying your fish from the fresh markets. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

No way. What's the difference between eating fish everyday and cow or pig? I've eaten vegan (and fish everyday--mostly salmon--some tuna and tilapia) for years now and I couldn't be healthier But I can't officially call myself anything in particular b/c once in a while a girl just needs a a big juicy steak, you know?

You sound like you have a great head on your shoulders This actually was a sign of how much my boy-toy cared about me---I bought my first house when I was 23, (a little over a year ago). In short, it was very important to me, but my hunny wasn't ready, even though legally I'd be the only one techinically committed to it. Despite the fact that it scared the sh!t out of him, he still worked so hard on upgrading it with me/for me and put a lot of his own time and money into it. Whether you are in a relationship or not, you have to stay true to yourself and the things you want or it will never work out/never be happy. Good for you, NWFlyer for doing that Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back. -

I always thought I would until I met my boy-toy almost 5 years ago now. Being in love and sharing your life is incredible. Having said that, if God forbid, this not work out, I wouldn't have any problems on my own. I'm ridiculously independant. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back. -

I designed this. I wanted a skydiving tattoo that wasn't of a skydiver. It's fairly small, inside my left hipbone. I have another small one on my lower back of a hibiscous flower w/ tiny ocean waves on each side. I don't have a picture, though Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

I hope you're kidding How young/old is the cat? If it's a kitten, it will more than likely get used to it after the first few times. If it's a cat, there is this GREAT product available through the Foster Doctor's & Smiths cataglog (a great catalog for cat stuff) you can goole it online, as I don't have a # for them, but the product is hard to describe, but it's soft bag you put the cat in and just its front paws and head are exposed. The bag is heavily weighted like a lead vest so its cozy inside fo the cat, but the cat can not move or get away or move its paws. Makes for easy clipping. I believe it runs about $30 and is a lifetime investment. I dont' have one, as my kitties are pretty good about it, but we used it in the vet office I used to work. HOpe that helps a bit. Oh, and holding the cat by the scruff is a good idea, too, as this sends comforting signals to the cat's brain since that is the way its mother carried it, it lets out a natural calming effect. I dont' know all the technical terms, but you get the idea. ha! Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.
