Skinny or fat, whatever - but she's a pin-up model??! For Jenny Craig? Interesting.

Whatever's left after the dust settles doesn't interest me in the least. How he lived his private life is his own business. I like to see pedophiles caught and punished, well, murderers and rapists, too, for that matter, okay, add in ppl that scam (Madoff) others out of their life savings - otherwise, what floats his boat is none of my biz. It's too bad that he died. I thought he was a good actor and I liked him when I saw him in this or that. That's it.

I don't think this is degrading or exploitation. Exploitation would be Disney's job requirements of Miley Cyrus, who's underage. The woman in the above pic is either a body model or a fetishist herself, so she was paid for the job or she volunteered.

Actually, there is one thing I am afraid of - real flesh and blood psychopaths, either gun-toting or knife-wielding. Ghosts, I can handle!

Michael Hutchence of INXS. The buzz is that he died the same way - auto erotic asphyxiation.

I think I would. I'm not a superstitious person. I've never seen a ghost or had any supernatural experiences. Even if I had/did, I'm just not the kind of person who's afraid of things.

Oh my gosh, this is terrible. I'm guessing the mother didn't even have a neighbor she could ask to come over for 10 minutes? What a tragedy.

Exactly - supervision will be the key. My mother was in a nursing home for a while. To work there would take a lot of patience, knowledge and hard work, and the pay doesn't really match all a person puts into the job. Not for everyone, but to those who do this job well - we appreciate you!

Why would you want to give off a celebrity vibe while walking your dog .... When the article starts with the word "talent" - not a good sign.

I'm surprised about this. I always thought the Japanese were more dignified and intelligent than, well, than everyone.

Christians never cease to amaze me. I believe Jesus once said, "If we keep taking an eye for an eye, soon we'll all be blind." But there they are, using violence to achieve what they think is right. If I remember correctly, Jesus was also called the Prince of Peace. I don't know how people who commit these violent acts can still call themselves a Christian.

My mom doesn't like Japanese people. She doesn't like Germans or Russians, either. She also has never known anyone who's Asian, German or Russian but she still doesn't like any of them. I blame this on propaganda, which she buys into wholeheartedly and defends with a, "Why would your own country lie to you?" I don't have the same prejudices, but I'm also alert to the stuff my own country tries to feed me and I was born quite a bit after war time. I'd like to see this movie, but I don't think my mother will. I don't think the rest of my family would be interested in seeing this movie, either. They only watch assembly line hollywood no-brainers.

He's downsizing. Small dogs are small and have smaller items coming out the back end that an owner needs to pick up. They take up less space in a dwelling but they still alert by barking. You can also train them to use a cat box during cold winter nights. You don't want to have a big dog doing cat box in the house. Meanwhile, I'm loving this pic. Sunny days, posters!

This is definitely not something I would do. The little cowboy hat is nearly the same color as his fur. It might go unnoticed. Think - contrasting color with drama (fuschia, black ...) with matching vest and bandana, maybe a pair of leather chaps. Sheepskin jacket (marlboro man) if it's cold. Boots are optional.

This isn't an easy win-win situation. Cats do kill birds. Not all cats, but most. But they also kill rats and mice. When you live in a port town, you need something that's going to kill rats especially. They're disease spreaders. Mice can be, too. If you've ever had a clever mouse move into your dwelling and he's avoided all traps and poisons and is using your kitchen counter as a toilet, your cat becomes your best friend and furry assassin. I'm for the trap/neuter/release program. We have it where I live. But like I said, it isn't a win-win situation because cats have a tendency to kill birds. I keep my cats indoors. But the ferals don't want to be indoors - it's a conundrum!

You think you guys got it bad, try bald eagles. Yeah, they take care of the crow population, but they take care of the pet and small children population, too. If they're having "a day," (circling your house), go outside with your motorcycle helmet on and do not tarry.

News was saying that protective masks don't prevent a person from contracting swine flu, it only prevents you from spreading swine flu if you have it. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Interesting. Men are wearing bras and women aren't. If you guys want to deal with that hot, itchy mess, more power to you.

Seriously, a girl I work with has eczema and allergies. Hopefully this could be used as a medical treatment and not just for those who feel they're not quite a 10 today.
