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

Geez, you and your perfect universal-never-had-a-charger-die-except-when-I-pulled-it-kinda-hard world. Is there a big bird on your street? You can't buy just the wire thingie. You have to buy the set w/ all these extra parts I have no use for, but saved b/c they were small & free. I've decided I'm over it officially, though. The moment has passed and I'm craving soy crisps.

Yea, well Billy's mom kills all things plants & I have a green thumb. What's your point? Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

I like you.

They work for my car, but I can't keep the device in my car at all times b/c the same wire-thingie is needed for the portable device (i.e. the one I keep in the office or house.) Unless I'm just missing your point altogether in which case... At least I have really cute jeans. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

Target. And before anyone goes all Walmart on me--the nearest one is a 15-minute drive away and it's really gross. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

MMMMGgggggggghhhhhH! That's me grunting. I do that sometimes. So I went to buy some new chargers and bought a universal one. And it said it had both portable & car included.... WTF? It has this one little wire piece and you can either plug it into the portable OR the car. I wanted an efffing piece to keep in my car always. How the fuck am I supposed to remember to always unplug & grab the wire thingie plugged into the indoor piece every time I leave somewhere IN MY CAR! Oh, the grand scheme: They only had a universal-for-all-phone-types charger for the portable. They did not have the same thing for the car. So I had to buy a universal for portable & car for both Motorola (includes all Nextel & Blackberry) & LG (includes Samsung). I spent $45! What a crock. I typically shop around for most things, but who has time to go to a billion places to shop for the perfect cell phone charger for the best price??? I could have ordered online, but I wanted it today and avoid shipping. OooooooaaaaHMMMMGgggggggghhhhhH! That is all! Ooo, except as I was stomping down the isle with my $45 worth of cell-fucking-chargers some girl exclaimed how she totally LOVED my jeans. So--you know--homeostasis. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

Woooaaaaaoooooooaoaaaah. That's me with the heebie-jeebies. Yowza! I mean, I don't kill anything except *cockroaches but... Yeeeeeoooaaaaaoooooooaoaaaah. (* and technically I just stick a bowl over them and make Billy get rid of the evil creature, but I admit I'm guilty by association.) Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

I read the same article. Someone reporting or being interviewed on NBC news (I was not looking at the TV at the time) stated something along the lines of "it is even possible to create an entire person with the new research. But, of course no-one will be doing that." It wasn't meant to be a funny comment, which is why it was so hilarious. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

Exactly! Now that I think about it, my personal phone (which has never been a Motorola) I've never had a problem with. In fact before I switched phones, I'd had my previous phone charger for at least two years. It's always my work phone charger. I have a crappy work phone, but if you want all the goodies it's the rep's monetary responsibility for the difference. Since I have all that on my personal phone, I see no reason to pay for it on my work phone. It's my work charger in my office that is always dying. And it's always a Motorola. Fuck Motorola. That is all. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

It's funny 'cause it's true. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

You're right about cheap-ass wire, but I'm royally organized and neat, thus a twisted, busted-up wire just will NOT look acceptable to me. I always keep them neat and orderly until they fucking die and then I proceed to bend, twist & kink the shit out of it until I've found the magical combination that sparks the flow of electricity through it again. It's really quite genius if I do say so myself. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

That sounds exactly like the one I have that just fucking quit on me. Actually, after about 20 minutes of finagling I managed to get it to stay charging by keeping a lot of pressure on the head that plugs in and standing the cell phone up resting it on said head with wire bent at a 90-degree angle. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

I should note, my experience has been limited to portable at-home chargers--not car chargers. I'm actually going to buy a couple car chargers today for my two phones--never used a car charger before. My personal phone can go 10 days from a full battery before it needs re-charging. So before a road trip I just make sure the battery is fully charged and I'm good.

They work great for a while, then every once in a while after it says "attached" at some point it will "detach" for no reason at all even though it's still plugged in. Pretty soon as soon as it reads "attached" it will "detach" right away. So then one must figure out the exact way to intricately twist the cord--always near the head that plugs into the cell phone--and plug in again. And again. And again. Until it FINALLY reads "attached". Then the trick is to slowly lay it down & remove hand w/out causing it to "detach". Process must be repeated until successful until one has time to get to the store to buy yet another charger. I can just imagine the guy in the boardroom of the cell phone building that one day came up with the brilliant idea to make an extra buck and annoy the shit out of people. Oooo, and has it ever happened to you when you do find a charger that seems to last longer than previous ones and someone borrows it, they fall in love with it & war ensues? Actually that didn't happen to me. But, it's an ongoing hilarious story. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

That's a fact! Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

My family. Mostly Billy & the fuzzy butts.

OMGosh! I love pumpkin EVERYTHING.

I like you.

Cafeteria food. For the past couple years Billy & I have spent Turkey Day with my grandma in her (awesome!) assisted living facility. She has this super-cute condo in the hospital there, but the food is lousy. This year I'm packing my own veggie wrap sandwich & booze! I do miss Thanksgiving with the fam as it was one of the only times I'd ever see them and--like everyone else--I LOVED the traditional dishes we'd have (probably a little different than others, but "home" to me.

So now we're the most popular pooch lovers in the neighborhood! Everyone else also out walking their dog is all "Oh my gosh, he is so cute with his blinker light!" Today a woman shouted over "What a great idea! I'm going to get one for Flyer." Flyer! What a cute (and appropriate) name!

OMGosh! I didn't see this the first go around. I LOVE this kind of stuff. Edit: My FAVORITE is "Toasty" under "The Rules" link. Mutts RULE! SO cute! Yes, cute animals bring out the school-girl in me that REALLY needs to emphasize words and use LOTS of exclamation points!!! Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

I disagree. If the topic is interesting, either A) you've already done your own research or B) you're so inclined to. Occasionally I post a link, but usually in Bonfire. If and when I start a thread here I'm posting to see if A) anyone was previously interested enough to do their own research or B) certain people are so inclined to. If I feel the need to prove a point, I'd likely provide a link, but moreover I'm more interested in the ballyhooing responses than I am whether or not people agree with me.

Me, too. There was this club and if you completed so many books you'd get a free personal pan pizza from Pizza Hut. Free pizza is the answer! Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.
