Geez, Shell, you're so verbose! All you had to say, was: "That's nice." Or RL once informed me "bite me" works well, too. Why are we only discussing makeup, anyways? Why not hair ribbons, summer scarves, cuff links, suit vests or birkenstocks? I, for one, find all of those things ridiculous. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

I love The Eagles, too!

That is sad, and quite scary. I grew up wakeboarding many of those same Orlando lakes. And we're not talking all that long ago. Never, ever heard of such a thing. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

OK, what's even more strange, but true is this is the first I've heard of it. I've lived in Florida my entire life. I've always lived on or near water. I've skied and wakeboarded and swam in many lakes in the summer (too cold in the winter), none of which were ever closed. I also read, watch & listen to the news on a regular enough basis yet, again, this is the first I've heard. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

Story here. Thought I'd scare the shit out of some hypochondriacs this afternoon. Seriously, though. I could have done w/out hearing about this one. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

Cute! Vespas are super-popular where I live. My neighbor has several. It was really flattering for a while after we just bought the house as I was positive he was hot for me--always riding by on his Vespa and waving as I'd go out to get the mail. Turns out he's head of the Vespa club and restores old Vespas. He tests them out up and own our street. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

It's just weird. Regis Philbin. B/c I laugh at all of you. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

Actually, those are the ones I'm most leery of. That, and people who don't watch television. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

I don't see why it's such an offensive phrase to many women. So you're "high maintenance"--whatever that means, and it seems to mean something slightly different to each responder. Who cares? High maintenance to me means knowing what I want & having preferences that I'm not afraid to voice. It's means not always or even often settling. IMO, you only get one life, and I'm certainly not going to live mine always going with the flow. Maintenance is a good thing, imo.

I've never done shrooms. I'm a lush, yes, but anything else? I'm high on life ~Edward, Pretty Woman. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

What/Who does? I laugh a lot. I love to. But, laugh so much my cheeks hurt? Billy! Oh my gosh, it's raining and we're keeping busy inside. No-one else! I swear. Vice-versa, I might add, but... My cheeks hurt.

Since everyone else cheated and named more than one: Forrest Gump & As Good as it Gets. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

This is funny and interesting to me. Replace it more than every two years? Absolutely. It goes bad after two months. Painted fingernails or toenails or eyelids?--Not since I was in the single-digits playing dress-up, or, if someone else did it to me for various reasons (I don't even wear eye-liner and I'm BLONDE with green-blue eyes for crying out loud.). I own WAY more than $50 worth of shit, but it's all in the moisturizer and such (La Mer) so I guess I'm OK there. I don't even own a hairbrush! What's REALLY funny is I'm SUPER-sure you (and most) would still most definitely put me in the "high maintenance" category. What's cool is I'm OK with that. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

I certainly never looked the type, but I was really into punk (and ska) for a good chunk of my teens. What's funny, is half the time I didn't agree with some of the lyrics but the sound & the beat was SO good. I've seen Bouncing Souls a few times b/c they always opened for some other band I went to see. (I practically lived at House of Blues in high school.) I'd have to say my favorites were--first and foremost--Rage Against the Machine. I still turn up the volume old-school style when Rage comes on. I also loved (and still really enjoy) Goldfinger, Green Day, No Doubt (early days, but I still like Gwen), Korn, Reel Big Fish & The Mighty Bosstones. I haven't listened to most of those (except some Rage) in a long time. I do still like to crank up some old 311 & STP, though.

Just for you, Jaye.

As we say in the South, "All ya'll suck". I said JUST ONE! I know it's hard. I do love music. I've been involved in music in some way, shape, or form since I was four years old. I love all types and have many favorites. Ya'll mentioned some of my faves, for sure. I enjoy Fleetwood Mac, ABBA, I even like Widespread Panic and Van Halen. I really love Sublime, Grateful Dead, Randy Travis and The Judds, too.

I've never really been a "fan" of any band or celeb in particular, but for whatever reason, since I was a little girl, I have LOVED this band. And, yes, I think the lead singer & lead guitarist are mighty fine. I wouldn't do them, though, b/c they're rock stars. Yuckie. Who hasn't been there? OK, enough rambling. I LOVE Aerosmith. If you had to pick JUST ONE, who do you love most? Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

I subscribe to the, "it takes one to know one" theory in many cases. I'm laughing b/c I agree, to a mild extent that many therapists also could use a little therapy. I absolutely love psych & sociology and did extremely well in both majors. But, I couldn't help but laugh at the idea of me diagnosing others. I'm too weird myself. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

I would consider myself high maintenance, but not for the reasons most attribute to the phrase. I don't need a lot of time to get ready, I don't get my nails done, my hair done, I don't spend too much time shopping, I REALLY prefer NOT getting gifts from anyone, and I don't require a lot out of my relationships to make me happy. I am, however, extremely particular about certain things. I like what I like how I like it and sometimes I refuse to deviate from that. Thank goodness Billy is very used to my quirks & even finds most of them amusing & charming.

Perception is relative. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

This is why I like you. Me, too! I admit, I don't have much patience in general, though. Exceptions include: elderly & children--selectively. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

She's on a show where the goal is to win $1M. It's called "greed" and it's a sin. I'm sure she could have asked for forgiveness--or at least crossed her fingers or something. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

I agree, for the most part. I get it. People want flesh. But, we can have flesh without the dirty, ratty, lace thing (thanks for that, wrestler girl.). I mean, I have pretty skimpy bikinis that do NOT come off even when I crash hard surfing. And Billy and I both gave a "you're fucking dumb" laugh and rolled our eyes when Probst said "you're going in what you're wearing." DON'T THEY ALWAYS??? Why after so many seasons would you wear anything any of them were wearing (the one girl now springs to me "But, I'm not even wearing a bra!") on the first day? You're going to look like shit in less than 24 hours and I promise you, hunny, NO-ONE is going to remember how fantastic you looked on the first day. So fagettabowtiit. Billy and I would both have layers of shit on. We'd look silly. But, we'd be smart. At least they gave them tennis shoes. Having said that, I was praying to God I'd get to see wrestler girl do a challenge those horrific, fugly, heavy, ridiculous boots she was wearing with her little sundress on the first day. Now THAT would have been entertaining! Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

Such is life, really. Winner of the first challenge is always the stronger team. They win fair & square, get rewarded, and that reward typically helps them stay both physically & mentally stronger. Naturally, the same team usually wins the second challenge and so on. Sometimes the spirit of the underdog is strong and they'll pull one out. And usually a fan favorite emerges from the underdog team. Fan favorites rarely win. It's a game. I like it for many reasons--one being to win, you have to figuratively screw some people, but you don't want to screw too many, too often, or too severely or they won't grant you their vote for the $1M. One should understand going in they will have to "survive" longer than anyone else. You can't do that w/out screwing someone. Period. What's funny to me is one can neither be an ascetic or a hedonist to win. One must gracefully ride the wave in-between.

I'm not impressed with Leslie. Why, WHY would she share the hidden immunity idol info??? And I remembered there was a Christian radio host, but when I clicked guppie's link the photo looked nothing like her. Homegirl's obviously a fan of the sun or the tanning salon and it shows all over her face. I think it's funny everyone seems to think the flight attendant is super-smart. Leslie obviously does. He might, in fact, be super-smart but nothing on the show has yet indicated anyone is particularly intelligent. I'm glad wrestler chick is outtie. She was already emaciated by the, what, the fourth day? Yuckie. Me, too on the grave digger! I was smitten with him in the first episode. We'll see what happens. It's still too early for me to have a favorite. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.
