    While I haven't read Adam's book, it seems her position would not be one to expect Mendell, after viewing the footage, to bow his head and change his tune completely (and to my knowledge, Flynt never changed his tune despite pleading guilty). OTOH--as I type that--I realize sexual improprieties tend to be embarrassing once discovered and often lead to admittance of wrongdoing. Interesting. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

    New website debuted today. About it. Nice answer to the YouTube epidemic.

    I think it's more probable that for some people (not me!) the only difference between a stalker and a lover is whether or not you want that person around. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

    Yup--was just going to post that. Give it up for Eliot Spitzer, ladies! Yea! Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

    $50k wouldn't go very far at The Emperor's Club. I mean a man would only get a few "Ooo. Ooohh. Ahhhhs" out of that. Surely there must be a discount club. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

    Buffett does quite a bit of hands-on charity work--he might make a comment or two about such, but I've never heard of him giving a political speech at one of his shows. Frankly, imo, there is no right or wrong answer. Sometimes it should be expected and other times, it's not appropriate. Arts & entertainment are often more or less appropriate given the situation. And sometimes the only purpose of a piece of art is to be inappropriate. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

    Financial disagreements are a common contributing factor to failed relationships--be them "haves" or "have nots". My answer is it would make no difference in the length of our relationship. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

    Yup, I found this out myself not long ago when we bought a new mattress set and the mattress is extra-deep. I knew I'd be making several large purchases--sheets, blanket, comforter. So I went thinking I'd have to be that annoying person who makes all separate purchases to use my coupons accordingly. To my surprise, they took them all at once and have ever since. I think it's a new thing, though, as I used to get annoyed waiting for the people actually being that annoying person I thought I was going to have to be, too.

    As Neil Boortz said, "Never trust anyone who doesn't like dogs." Of course, I don't trust any of the candidates. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

    Most definitely. Bono actually has quite a bit of experience learning & doing something about the things he descants. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

    Art in many cases & forms is meant to be interpreted. Often artists are vague or abstract and purposefully do not disclose what it is "they really meant" as they want it to be interpreted. I never disagreed with the irony in billvon's Sting example. And certainly, I personally wouldn't want it played at my wedding. But, I think it's silly to say those who do play that song at their wedding are doing so because they're "dismissing everything else that disputes their myopic viewpoint." Quoted for irony.

    Yes. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

    Music stores are really fun to play in on a rainy day. I want a piano. I don't have one anymore. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

    At least we know now what to get everyone for Christmas (REI gift cards!). Frankly, I had to google "REI" when billvon posted it--never heard of it. We have a Dick's Sporting Goods store here and I have a key-chain thingie for there, too! Between them and Edwin Watts golf, I'm always getting $25 worth of free stuff.

    I get so many of the one-item ones, I bring them all with me when I go and use them all at once on however many items I have. The $10 off $30 coupons are great if what you're planning on buying is right at or near $30--those are my favorite coupons! It's funny how often we forget towels! We always donate old towels whenever there's a crisis, and I realized a few months ago, I barely had any towels left. I received a $50 gift card to BB&B for Christmas and blew the whole thing on towels--oh, and a three-pack of those cotton-smelling thingies. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

    Yup. I did quantitative analysis on that game. Counted how many times "this" and "that" occurred. But, not all role models are "media-hyped bad boys". I've caught an episode of Hannah Montana out of curiosity. It's all relative--I was walking a different way out of my high school back in the day and saw a fight--tons of people around just walking by. You'd think there'd be a crowd, but either it was the norm or no-one cared. I just stopped and yelled, "Hey!" And before I knew it, I'd entered the battle-ring. But, they stopped. I don't remember what else I said, but I'm certain I gave a speech. And days later the kid that was completely whipping the other kid's ass said something to me along the lines of "Nice! You're cool."--or whatever. All it takes, sometimes--imo--is someone to give a shit. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

    OK, just viewed your links. Aconcagua--looks cooold. But, this I would sign up for in a second!!!

    Loophole! Not fair!

    Awesome. I'm the queen of steals. In fact, just the other day my insurance agent called me a "hustler". Fucker. I have a key ring in my bag that has a key-ring-sized "reward card" on it for at least seven stores. I like points--no credit cards, please--just points. We get $25 gift cards with NO minimum purchase all the time!
  22. PLFXpert
    Nice choice! I'm the same way. It's a long story, but I got a royal steal on my current ride, and I always say I hate to admit how much I love it. I really enjoy a Prius.

    As long as they're trying to sell you something, hunny--it's a store. What car do you want? This is fantasy land.

    Oooo. Hello, there. We have a big music store here, too. Billy and I actually just stopped in there on a recent rainy day. We have two guitars, but they need new strings and I don't play, but would like to. Nice choice!

    I have that effect on people. OMGosh! Baskets rock! I use them for everything. In our master bath, rather than a medicine cabinet, we keep everything underneath the sinks in the cabinets in matching baskets.
