Everyone's heard that expression about getting right back on the horse, I guess... meaning that if you "fall" (at any time, not literally just as a rider), that it's important to get right back to what you were doing so that you...

khalablue I think that expression is about conquering your fears, but to be told that you have to fall off a horse 100 times to be considered a real rider? I don't know, but to me that's like saying you have to crash your car 100 times before you can be considered a...

4 Women have gone on weekend vacation trips together for many years. Two of the women are sisters, one is married to their brother, and the forth is the best friend of one of the sisters. When they travel they take turns making...

I would have been disappointed to see anyone else go tonight. Even with Blake's off night I felt he deserved to stay more than Lakisha. He seems to be more into the spirit of the competition than she is. Here is a previous post...

khalablue I really liked LaKisha at the start, but I have to agree with you. She does have a great voice, but unlike Melinda and Jordin, she doesn't show a lot of versatility. I think Blake could well be in the last two, because I think Melinda and Jordin will split the...

Well, well well - lil Miss Priss might actually wear a cute orange Jumpsuit! Wouldn't that be a shame? LOL. Wonder what accessories she will need? Jimmy Choo Shoes go with Orange don't they? LOL. I am sure Britney Spears will...

khalablue Friendship, your comments and choice of words are rather interesting. You start off by making a statement that you aren't trying to defend her, then you proceed to do exactly that. Then, when I respond to your comments about her, you accuse me of lecturing...

khalablue yet another item in the paper this morning discussing this woman's behavior. She doesn't think that she should get special treatment? As I said previously, she thrives on special treatment, so I think Arnold should pass a new law (is that what the...

khalablue Friendship, you are clearly playing the devil's advocate in this discussion. You don't need a personal relationship with someone like Paris Hilton to be affected by the damage she does and the potential harm that can result if the laws are manipulated to...

WOW that was a bit of a bummer. I wanted PHIL to be OK. He's such a nice guy. I am betting we haven't heard the last from him. (besides the tour). I was expecting Chris to go. Nice also, just not the IDOL they are looking for. I...

khalablue I think that whatever happens from here on, these kids will all do okay. I think both LaKisha and Melinda have lost weight since the beginning of the show and they are both looking good. To me, Melinda's shyness only seems to be apparent when she is responding...

khalablue Well, thank you. I cherish your compliment. Someone asked me if I had been running all my life, but you know when I was a kid running was not something that I even thought of doing. Sure, I was active, but I recall one time in gym class when I was 15 we...

khalablue I wasn't surprised to see Chris go. I didn't really think that he would last this long, because I find his voice kind of tinny. I think what has kept him in is that so many young women think that he looks like Justin Timberlake. Why that's a big plus I am not...

I'm posting this because of a different thread on the subject, already posted here: http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/619585.aspx I'm not very good at using chopsticks, unfortunately. Rice, for instance, when you're finishing...

khalablue This was a very informative response. Obviously there is much more detail to the art of using chopsticks, than the mere act of just eating with them.

khalablue Another thing that I have observed while dining in the homes of other people is the number of women who, while they are cooking, lick their fingers instead of washing them or even wiping them on an apron. I always feel like saying "I will have a serving sans...

khalablue If I am in a hurry, being put on hold is one of the things that really riles me. Worst yet, is when they put on that awful music. I immediately think that I am going to be in limbo for a very long time, because they feel they have to entertain me the wait will...

khalablue This is one of my pet peeves. Lack of table manners, everywhere you go. I have no children, but if I did, teaching proper table manners would definitely be in order. A few years ago, my husband and I were invited to Christmas dinner with one of my...
