Hardly, but always when I see someone wearing one, I strike up a convo immediately.

QUOTE (HuskyRunner @ Feb 18 2011, 03:42 PM) A man wakes up in the hospital, bandaged from head to foot. The doctor comes in and says, 'Ah, I see you've regained consciousness. Now, you probably won't remember, but you were in a pile-up on the freeway. You're going to be okay, you'll walk again and everything, but something happened. I'm trying to break this gently, but the fact is, your willy was chopped off in the wreck and we were unable to find it.' The man groans, but the doctor goes on, 'You've got $9000 in insurance compensation coming and we have the technology now to build you a new willy that will work as well as your old one did -better in fact! But the thing is, it doesn't come cheap. It's $1000 an inch.' The man perks up at this. 'So,' the doctor says, 'it's for you to decide how many inches you want. But it's something you'd better discuss with your wife. I mean, if you had a five inch one before, and you decide to go for a nine incher, she might be a bit put out. But if you had a nine inch one before,and you decide only to invest in a five incher this time, she might be disappointed. So it's important that she plays a role in helping you make the decision.' The man agrees to talk with his wife. The doctor comes back the next day. 'So,' says the doctor, 'have you spoken with your wife?' 'I have,' says the man. 'And has she helped you in making the decision?' 'Yes, she has,' says the man. 'And what is it?' asks the doctor. "We're getting countertops.'

I was shocked to learn my parents watch this LOL

I haven't had the FN in a while but I miss it. I love Ina Garten (Barefoot Contessa!) and the Charm City Cakes one is good (forget the show's name). Rachael Ray is from where I grew up, well, near there. She is from Lake George NY which is about an hour from my hometown Before she was famous, she would do cooking demos on our local news stations. AND she had her own station in Price Choppers across the region (Price Chopper is a grocery chain in the upstate NY area) I remember seeing her doing cooking demos in a baseball cap right in the middle of the store too for passersby; she would hand out samples and everything.

After they my husbands' wedding ring sent back to the factory WEEKS before our ceremony and told us it was OUR fault and we couldn't get another one on time -- I've been proudly blowing the whistle on them ever since. But EVERY kiss begins with Kay! yeah, kiss my youknowwhat.

I suck at interior design and all the hubs wants is dead animal heads on the walls God what I wouldn't give to be an interior decorator. I actually entertained the idea a long, long time ago. Thanks for the compliment! If it were up to my husband there would be no furniture, no art, no nothing. As for the animal head situation... if it were me, I'd say he could have one but it would have to be like a giant moose head over the fireplace that I could put funny hats on and stuff. I don't mind the mounts, if only a couple. He just got a 9 point this fall, biggest buck he's ever gotten so he's proud of it and he should be. They don't creep me out or anything but too many of them screams "hick" more than it should.

This is more a radio commercial for Chase Bank: A couple are out shopping and they are using their debit card to purchase stuff. They are low on money and can't buy cupcakes from a bakery they are eyeing. Instead of forgoing the $4 for cupcakes or whatever they cost, they text Chase to transfer money from their savings into their checking account. Just so they can pay for cupcakes. I have several problems with this ad: 1. Sorry to be judgemental, but if you really have to transfer money from saving to buy cupcakes, perhaps you should re-evaluate your finances. Sure, I've done money transfers to pay for bills and emergencies, but never for something as silly and unecessary as cupcakes. 2. The federal government does not allow you to make more than I think 6 electronic transfers a month between your accounts. I found this out after getting a notice during my wedding planning - I saved money in my savings and when I needed it, transfered it over as I was paying deposits and suhc. The notice told me if I made over 6 transfers a month electronically, I would get charged a fee ($30 or something!). So, thanks Chase for misleading the general public that they can transfer money for cupcakes at any given moment free of charge forever!

Welcome to the Rush Vanity Plate Club

I hate any of those "real life" shows, or "caught on tape" thing of disasters and such. If I am surfing channels and come across it, I flip as soon as I can. Also hate replays of 911 tapes on the news. I really don't need to hear someone panicking on the phone for whatever reason. I'll be honest and say I've lost sleep over seeing/hearing some things I never wanted to.

Wow. Wishing the best for everyone and congratulations!

My new running group goes out early Saturday mornings for runs, so no late Friday nights for a while - unless they switch to Sundays.

QUOTE (nobodys hero @ Jan 21 2011, 07:49 AM) Before the show cool, during the show not so much! I agree. I don't want any distractions during a Rush show.

One of the groups I've loved is Sugarland. I don't follow them as much since they have crossed over on the more "pop" side of things but their first two albums - "Twice the Speed of Life" and "Enjoy the Ride" are awesome. The follow ups have been lackluster IMO. Plus, while they put on a great show, they only perform their radio hits, which at this point after 4 albums, they should be giving out some deep cuts.

QUOTE (In A Tidewater Surge @ Jan 17 2011, 09:50 PM) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zplc4Ienkws&ob=av2el One of the greatest country songs!

I dabbled in country music for some of my college years, but didn't really call myself a fan. Then I met my husband who really only listens to classic rock and country -- plus, surprise, he's actually from the country! Now I consider myself a fan. A lot of the stuff out there today is crap but I like having it on in our (log) house while cooking, just sets a nice mood. Our wedding song was Meet in the Middle by Diamond Rio (but don't worry, I walked down the aisle to Rush's own "Hope"!) You just have to laugh at some of the songs too ("All my exes live in Texas" lol wth!) but to me, it's so different from Rush which you have to think about to listen to, which is what I like. Some songs are just meant to be enjoyed for their story or tongue in cheek humor.

QUOTE (GeddyRulz @ Jan 13 2011, 08:36 PM) Leave it to young women with delusional romantic ideas to believe in soulmates, to want to believe in soulmates. Blame stories like Cinderella being shoved down our throats the minute we leave the womb.

Fight Club. Maybe I need to see it again but all I got out of it were a bunch of men beating the crap out of each other underground

QUOTE (workingcinderellaman @ Jan 13 2011, 12:09 PM) With all of the talk of Titanic I'm reminded of another movie I hate... Pearl Harbor. They took the success of Titanic and tried to make another historical drama. The problem is that the bombing of Pearl Harbor has too much history to delude it down and bastardize it with a triangle love affair. I mean if you like history at all, you didn't get any from that movie. The actual attack was wonderful, but the rest of the movie was trash. I thought it was odd that Ben Affleck's character fought in the Battle of Britain, Pearl Harbor and the Doolittle Raid all in the same movie. They should of ended the film with him flying the Enola Gay. That film was sh*tty!
