AWESOME, RAY! I will go look for it, now. I usually just quickly flip through my Parachutist and only occasionally stop to read. CONGRATS, AGAIN!!! Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

It's normal if he just says, "Wow, she's beautiful" but if the comments are made in comparison to you to make you feel bad, that is NOT cool. It doesn't bother me at all when BZ mentions he thinks a girl is pretty, but he doesn't say it often. I do it, too, but I don't think he ever gets jealous of John Travolta. THE ONLY thing that ever bothers me is when guys say they like Pamela Anderson. I mean, after the woman's had her boobs done, hair dyed, lips enhanced, LIPOSUCTION and a nose job, who wouldn't look like that? Why would you want to? Not to mention I've NEVER seen her dress classy and I don't care much for the slutty look. That's about all that bothers me and really it's just b/c I've had too many friends go through various plastic surgeries (nose jobs, boob jobs and yes, I've even had a friend have liposuction) and it really bothers me b/c not ONE of them had improved self esteem afterward. I'm not saying it's BAD, I just don't think it's GOOD. BZ always laughs and says, "You REALLY don't like Pamela Anderson, do you?"...it's not that I dont' like HER. I don't KNOW her. But, it's that I don't like what she represents. She is the epitomy of having everything under the sun surgically done to look a certain way that is nearly IMPOSSIBLE to naturally obtain. I spent a LOT of hours doing research, both quantitative and qualitative on girls images of themselves after watching TV and, yes, it's partly their own fault for not sucking it up and accepting what they have, but I DO think women like Pamela make it more difficult for some woman to feel good. I could go on forever...but, FREEBIRD, I've seen your picture and you are VERY BEAUTIFUL!!! If anything, you need to see that for yourself Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

EXACTLY! I normally wear a 2 or a 4. But Abercrombie cracks me up. Even the 0 seems a bit big. I must say, I LOVE my Abercrombie jeans, but it has NOTHING to do w/ the size on the label. In fact, I think I'll sew a size 16 label to the outside, just so other women who see me wearing them feel better about themselves If only I knew how to sew Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

You guys are SO FUNNY! I look the same in every mirror. I've never noticed a difference. I mainly shop at Limited, BCBG, and Express. The all look the same to me, except for the lighting. The only mirror I've ever noticed that is different is the one in this swimsuit store I went to. It had a sticker on it that said "tinted to look as if you have a tan"...HA HA HA! I DO think, however, that various stores are tricking women in to preferring their shit. B/c whenever I go to Abercrombie, I wear two sizes SMALLER than what I am. I think it's a scam to make women feel better about the size they buy, like "Oooo, I'm a zero at Abercrombie so I'll shop there for EVERYTHING." It cracks me up. I really don't give a shit what size the label says as long as whatever it is looks FANTASTIC on me Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

Skymama you've GOT to stop setting yourself up...he he he...I can barely contain myself Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

13/14!!! I kid you not! I can spot BOOTIE ANYWHERE! Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

Somehow, I find that VERY hard to believe, if memory serves correctly Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

I did, silly. I think when I press the button down, the camera gets turned down straight toward my ass. I must say, the pictures were quite flattering but I won't be posting them...I'm afraid what the photoshoppers might do to them Gotta love the bootie! Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

I think others can tell, not by your appearance but by the way you carry yourself when you feel more confident. Hence why I always say, "Work it!" Plus, I should add, that classy can be VERY sexy if you know how to WORK IT. (not talking about any of you, but a beautiful girl I saw today who was dressed...welll...SLUTTY). You don't necessarily have to BARE ALL to grab attention! As for looking good...I think every girl must have a fave t-shirt, going-out shirt, etc. Mine tends to change but I do love BLACK and my fave shirt for a long time has been a plain black one. My other fave piece is a caramel suede, down to the knees jacket I have. It makes me feel like Steven Tyler and I fricken love it! BZ loves it, too! Glad to hear you're feeling sexy today, mindygirl and I'm w/ JT; where's the picture??? Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

I just bought a brand new car a year ago. After Sept. 11 they were practically giving them away so I got a 16k car for 10k. I pay my car insurance bi-annually b/c it's much cheaper that way, vs. monthly, and I ALWAYS take the cheaper road. It's $650 each time so that's $1,300 a year. (This was the cheapest rate I could get considering I have full coverage, I'm 22, drive a sports car and have had 8 speeding violations. All the points are now off my license but the last two tix were w/in three years ago. Thank goodness those should go away in the next year and my record will be clean) I get good gas mileage so I fill my car up every other week and it costs $20. I also take my car through the wash and have it cleaned/vaccuumed, etc. every other week and that costs $9. I wax it myself twice a year and that costs nothing, just an hour or so of my time. I do my own oil changes so it only costs $20 or so for the synthetic oil every six months (it lasts for 7,500 miles) I think that's it About average, I'd say.

HA HA HA!!! That'd debateable Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

BZ likes the fresh stuff as well but we were spending WAY TOO much jump $$$ going to the store every day, not to mention time and, well, he got sick of it every night, but once in a while, we still go out, buy all fresh stuff and Chef BoyarBilly goes to work. We save SO MUCH money buying frozen bags of chicken wings or 4 pounds of fresh salmon (which we freeze) at Sams. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

Exactly...apparently she knew EXACTLY what to do to make it look real b/c she had worked in medicine before and knew where to put a "chemo" bandaid, etc. I wish I could understand a bit more. I'd need to learn more about the disease, b/c sometimes, you still know right from wrong and it's just a matter of willpower. Other times, the person may really not have a clue that what they're doing is bad for them or their child. Either way, it's SO DIFFICULT to sympathize with the mother in this case. Maybe you could enlighten me more on the disease, Jess, as far as, did she still know what she was doing was wrong? I always try to understand both sides of a situation, but inevitably, my weakness is when children or animlas are abused. In either of these two cases, it becomes more difficult for me to sympathize with the offender. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

I think you may be right, Jess, b/c the husband (who is also being accused but claims, and for some weird reason I believe him, that he didn't know his wife was faking it) said he would stand by his wife b/c after talking to the doctors/couselors, he learned some disease caused her to behave that way. I just dont' know. I mean, I KNOW depression is a real disease that most people don't recognize, so it seems that other diseases such as this are possible, but still a bit hard to believe sometimes.

But isn't your favorite object going to be burned w/ the rest of your body? Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

HE HE HE...DITTO! I always carry breath mints in my purse, but when at home, I usually brush my teeth right after I eat. My father spent way too much money straightening and cleaning my teeth for me to not floss and brush every chance I get. Plus, I HATE the dentist so it's nice to be in and out w/out them poking and proding and having to fill a cavity. OK, now I just went off on a tangent. Moral of the story: TAKE CARE OF YOUR TEETH! Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

He he he...we are SO OPPOSITE. I can't cook...my parents were never in town so I grew up on frozen dinners bought in economy packs from Costco. I can barely boil my own mac-n-cheese. I eat EVERYTHING already prepared for me, but like you, I DON'T eat fast food much at all. I buy a lot of frozen things from sams. However, I do buy fresh salmon, sushi and chicken and Chef Boy-Ar-Billy is a FABULOUS cook. I just feel bad if he has too cook every night, so I buy stuff that you can just stick in the oven. WORKS FOR ME! I mean, after being gone for 10 hours, who wants to come home and spend another hour cooking? Geez! I try to keep my life as organized and simple as possible! Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

Geez, maybe I don't have a good sense of smell 'cause I never smell them and I LOVE THEM! Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

Ha ha ha!!! I can't believe I didn't catch that, first! Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

I LOVE olives...again, the salty thing. I have them put extra green olives in my bloody mary. That's a good one, Val. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

HA HA HA! That's sick! Ew, everytime they show those shrunken heads on Ripley's I cringe, not to mention the CRAZY GUY who collects them. Can you imagine him bringing a girl home for the first time? "And, this is my collection of heads"...Well, at least he has more head than any other guy on the block Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

Going along w/ the other thread: Believe it or not, ladies, I DON'T LIKE CHOCOLATE! I don't like CAKE or anything cakey like donuts, etc. I don't like candy; hard candies and pretty much all candy bars, etc. The only exceptions being reese's pieces, peanut butter M&Ms and sno caps (I know they're chocolate, but for some reason, I like them). They say there's two kinds of people, those who crave salty stuff and those who crave sweets. I'M A SALTY CRAVER ALL THE WAY! Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

ME TOO! I also like buttered popcorn on top of my ice cream Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

There's NOTHING on Fear Factor I wouldn't eat for 50k. There's things I like that a lot of people don't, but I wouldn't say I like anything disgusting. I LOVE: Asparagus Brussel Sprouts (my roomates in college HATED me whenever I boiled them b/c they said it smelled, but I couldn't smell anything) Cottage cheese (BZ laughs everytime I get it from the salad bar at Ruby Tuesdays) Sushi Bloody Mary's w/ extra olives, salt and tabasco sauce Oysters Guacamole! and anything avacado Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

One last time or for the first time? He he he....JUST KIDDING, FFF! Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.
