blondbat This is a great movie, I couldn't stop laughing! But the underlying message is great too - take a chance on things. Saying yes all the time might not be the answer but getting out of your comfort zone by saying yes when you might have said no is a great idea....

blondbat IMHO carpet suxx. I would not willingly have carpet anywhere, too much trouble and too hard to get or keep clean. I'd even take tile or linoleum over carpet. Can ya tell I don't like the stuff LOL

blondbat I wish I had nothing but wood floors. Since I've almost always had pets, I have always hated carpet. I've had wood floors in the past and wish I could have them in this house, but it's a rental and not up to us. You are lucky!

blondbat We had to jump thru a few hoops and it took a while for PP to refund all the transactions. The balance was hard to figure out for a long time, but at least PP took care of it all. We might have come out ahead on the deal!

blondbat We had that happen about a year ago. Somebody had taken a fair portion of money out and since it was attached to our main checking account they wreaked havoc with our bill-paying abilities for a time. I had to call our landlord to tell them to hold onto our...

blondbat I'd rather be rich than famous, even if that means I'm not as rich lol. I think you are able to do more when you can fly low and avoid radar. I live in Southern California and every time I've seen somebody famous out and about, they don't seem to be able to...

blondbat Most of my online friends will stay online as most of them live too far away and too far apart for me to meet them in person. A few I talk to on the phone, but distance and different time zones make that difficult as well. So I chat w/them and exchange email...

blondbat If I can make the repair myself - buttons, simple hems, etc., then I do it myself. If something needs to be altered I will try to get a tailor to do it. Depends on the age and condition of the garment. I have alot of blazers that need linings or pocket linings...

blondbat I have bought used tires almost exclusively for many cars. Most used tires shops sell are not all that used. The last ones I bought, another motorist had changed out all 4 tires when one went flat and they looked almost brand new. Even used tires come with...

blondbat I wear what most people would consider to be high heels all the time to work. But I do not wear anything higher than 2 or 3 inches, higher than that and I can't even walk LOL The key is to find a good height and style you are comfortable in. That being...

Hello All, I recently stumbled upon a "Time" story, and it got me thinking. http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,1885190,00.html If you're all charged up for a debate over "gay marriage", I'm sorry to dissapoint....

blondbat I think alot of the problem people have with this is that "marriage" is an institution, with all the history and religious connotations of centuries of use. Also, most of society is already set up to deal with the default rights one automatically receives when...

blondbat Shopping with my husband is the worst, and a guarantee that I will not find anything that I am looking for. It's kind of an inside joke and it almost always works out that if he goes with me I won't find a thing to buy. We just had this happen this weekend; we...
