I’m a little behind with my complimenting. With all the crazy holiday madness, I got distracted. I finally found the time today though, on Christmas, go figure.
My first compliment goes to the Mummy Chronicles. I don’t always relate to mommy blogs, but this gal’s got a very nice writing voice and she makes me laugh [...]
The funny jokes over at Comedy Plus deserve compliments indeed. This blogger certainly finds a way to make her readers laugh. One of my favorites is the joke about the pregnant wife, the horny husband, and the greedy next door neighbor.
And they aren’t all that dirty, I promise.

Today, as I sat at the beach (I’m still in Thailand) I observed everyone around me and thought of nice things I would say to them if the moment was ever right. I guess you could say that I was just bursting with compliments for my Compliment Challenge. But instead of freaking these people out [...]
This is a toughy. We got all kinds of flirty compliments for the cute guy at the office or the brand new crush at the bar, but the poor husband normally gets nothing in the way of flirty compliments.
Today, though, I decided to change that. To all you husbands out there, you have me to [...]
“You want to make sure with your family history of breast cancer that you continue to do a self-exam every month. Tell me if this is too much pressure for you.”
“Ok.”
“Hmm…how long ago did you get the implants?”
“About three years ago.”
“Wow. They did a GREAT job.”

A girl at work recently changed her hair style from straight, tied back long blond hair, to a kind of shaggy, permed, half mullet looking thing. To say it wasn’t flattering would be an understatement - I even did a kind of half recoil / double take when I first saw [...]
My heart is full of joy everytime I receive a compliment about my sites. Thanks for all the emails I am receiving saying how beautiful my sites are. Not to mention the compliments I am getting from my fellow bloggers. This makes me so inspired to continue blogging. I am also very happy for all the emails from different advertisers who are interested to advertise on my sites including this one. I d
When our efforts to look good do get noticed, we feel appreciated. As men, we don’t give nearly as much thought and attention to details as do our female counterparts (and their finished product is oh so good to behold), but when we dress up we like to look our best [...]
As recently as June, U of L President James Ramsey wrote to Robert Felner saying, "You have done an incredible job here, and I am deeply indebted...I do want to get together to chat and get some of your ideas on things still to be done with the College … cannot run the risk of letting the Indians get back in control of the reservation."Setting aside whether Ramsey's reference to one branch of my
The “pop-up” store concept has been a successful marketing strategy for fashion labels, often generating sigificant media buzz and customer interest. Now PR agency Porter Novelli has taken the same concept and applied it to fashion PR.

My film Kuselan will hit screens in July... It’ll be my third film with Rajni sir and I play myself in it.
Although it’s a guest appearance, I have two songs alone and a couple of scenes. The film is really stylish and I even appear as Cleopatra in one of the songs. The age difference between Rajni sir and me has never bothered me. In fact, he’s much more fun and energetic than any youngster
Boosting Morale With Frequent Compliments - Do you know that children develop a sense of self-esteem during the primary school years? For children with markedly high self-esteem, making friends or participation in activities is not a difficult task. On the other hand, children who put on low self-esteem found all these things very difficult and always look for support and assistance. More: con

According to a new study in the Neuron Journal our brains respond similarly to compliments as they do to cash rewards. Good Morning America even featured a short clip based on the findings of this report.

I'm not feeling myself today. Ahem!Its a gloriously sunny day. I must be the only person in Brighton wearing a coat. I am probably the only guy not wearing shorts. I drop Hazel at the beach with the dog while I head off to the supermarket to do our weekly shop. As I drive along, I see the world pass by. Children playing football in the park. A man power walking. Looking like a fast robot with a red headband. And a red face. A dog chasing a dog. A girl with a scooter. Two guys throwing a ball. Someone walking into the sea for a swim. A dog chasing a child. Sorry I made that one up. A couple cycling and laughing. Friends having a picnic. A girl on her mobile. Two more people cycling and laughing. Four couples playing tennis. A guy jogging with an Ipod. I find myself scowling. For some strang

Captain Graeme Smith has credited Indian bowlers for their fine performance and extracting the most from a pitch that had turn and awkward bounce.
Smith said his bowling attack lacked discipline and tried too hard to get the Indians out.
“We were not as good with the ball. We were too anxious to bowl India out. India [...]
Compliments are often so rare that people don’t even know how to respond well to them. You often see or hear people make an excuse or immediately negate the compliment. A response such as “No, not this old thing” or “No I don’t, you’re too nice” or even subtle negation such as [...]

I love my husband and he tries to be sweet to me, but I’m not good with compliments – so I usually counter with some smartass comment. Some excerpts from the weekend.Al: You know after six years of looking at you, I still enjoy it.Me: Right. We’ll see how you feel after sixty years when my boobs are dragging the floor.Al: Why do you have to always ruin the images in my head?Al: You looked really pretty last night with that red shirt on.Me: It wasn’t red, it was burgundy. There’s a difference.Al: I love our life together.Me: Why do you always say that whenever I’m in the kitchen? What is this – the 50s?Al: Get me a beer – BITCH.Me: Great, now we’re out of the 50s and in the trailer park down the road. Why don’t I put on some heels and tease my hair too?Al: Seriously. Do
Women fish for compliments. It’s what we do. We want to feel reminded of our strengths and reassured that we’re making an improvement on our weaknesses. But far too often we fish for compliments in the most obvious, blunt ways, that it isn’t really fishing anymore. It’s more like harpooning. So let’s look at some of the ways that simply aren’t subtle enough to remain graceful.
1) “Does this make me look fat?”
- Come on, I think we’ve tired this one out a long time ago. It’s like a brick to your man’s head.
2) “I just feel completely hideous compared to your new secretary.”
- Sure, he’ll give you a compliment. And then he’ll decide to take a closer look at the secretary.
3) “I think I’m too skinny.”
- Yeah, you don’t want reassurance on your skinny hotness at all.
4) “Why was that guy staring at me?” *giggle*
- I bet you don’t expect him to tell you it was
Every single time I hear Toronto's Fjord Rowboat mentioned I instantly think of the fjords of Iceland and Scandinavia and then ultimately (and somewhat incorrectly) think to Sigur Ros. While Fjord Rowboat does share some of the ethereal atmospherics that the aforementioned Icelandic mega-stars employ, their sound is more akin to a modern interpretation of early 90's psychedelic shoegazer rock (a la Swervedriver) or like their modern counterparts Doves.On their new full length Saved The Compliments For Morning, their lush reverb-soaked guitars expectedly chime out into the hazy horizon and thunderous drums and bass, while singer Craig Gloster's vocals just seem to float amidst the bramble and the brier growing up around them. Similarly to one of my favorite bands (Champaign rockers HUM) Fjord Rowboat actually employs fairly straightforward song structures and doesn't get lost in the walls of glorious noise at their fingertips. Instead they make accessible yet ambitious guitar rock
By: Mark JacksonDue to the many choices that we now have when it comes to computer monitors, choosing a monitor that compliments our computer has become quite a challenge. Unlike before when we only have very limited choices and we have to choose between 2 or three types of computer monitors only, we are not faced with so many choices that could make our heads reel especially if we are not really very familiar with these things. If you are one of those people who are at loss as to what criteria to follow when choosing a computer monitor, do not worry. Its not really as bad as you think it is. If you cant seem to make up your mind as to what type of monitors you want, here are some points for you to consider.The Traditional Monitors (CTR) v the LCD MonitorThe monitor of your computer provides instant feedback by giving you an image of the text that you types of the keyboards or the image that you created or uploaded into your computer thus it is very important that you get a good comput
A man walked up to me in a bar and asked “What’s the worst pick-up line a man’s ever given you?”
I responded, “Is this your pick up line? Because this might be the worst.”
Of course he said no, and went on to say that he and his friend (pointing across the bar) were just talking about lines so he thought he’d ask us because we looked like we might know.
My friend and I (who at the moment before interruption were enjoying our $1.00 Bud Lights and our conversation about nonsense) did not know much about pick up lines. In fact, the only other thing I could tell this man was that if he wanted to talk to two girls at the bar, then he should just walk up and say hi. He should avoid the lines or the talk about lines altogether because women weren’t interested in them.
But on second thought, maybe I was wrong. A pick-up line may be cheesy and transparent, but it is nice to be noticed. I mean, if a man asks me if I’m tired because I’ve been running through his mind all night

Jesse's parents called Sunday afternoon and offered to take Mia to the county fair. It was a bit of a relief to us. Mia was going a bit stir crazy stuck in the house because of rain, Jesse had homework to do, and I'm in pain from weaning myself from the steriods. A couple hours later when she came home, Jesse asked me to go out onto the porch and see something. Some neighbors had nine lop-eared bunnies and offered one to Roger, Jesse's dad, to give to Mia. She picked out a black one, and SURPRISE we now have a little bunny. Despite the initial shock, we're all pretty pleased with our new pet. The kids have all been begging for a pet, other than the peacock, for some time, and because this one doesn't require house-training or spaying, it's a good option for us. Mia insisted on dressing up like the bunny, now named Ebony, so the second picture is of her dressed up as it, piggy-tails as bunny-ears and all. She's going out everyday to pet it through the cage, and when Jesse comes

Christine Webber, a relationship expert, said: “While it may seem somewhat frivolous, a compliment is in fact a vital ingredient for well-being.

89% of women love to receive a compliment, but 67 felt uncomfortable if this was made form someone other than a partner.
