No, we both said that but I went to "marriage" counseling by myself. In the end in order to change I had to take responsibility for my "own" unconscious or unaware behavior. When I told her we were in a co-dependent relationship she laughed and replied "where did you get that... f'n Oprah"

Everyone has buttons like that, for the wrong person.

"N-bomb" why is the word "nigger" so special? it's not a nice word, but it's one of many racial slurs. i don't get it. tell me you have never used the word"nigger".

I can not recall ever using the word "nigger in anyother context other than using the word "nigger" in a quote. Of course I loved the way F Lee Bailey kept on using the word "nigger" repeatedly in the OJ trial.

Mr. Gibson should spend some of what's left of his 950 mill to install this button...

Kenny Wayne Shepherd. Adam Carolla mentioned it during a recent podcast and Kenny Wayne didn't say much about Mel or his daughter. Probably a smart move.

Everyone has buttons. The question is what they are wired to. In summary, and to add to my earlier post"

The lady presses the right buttons.
He goes non linear when he gets his buttons pushed.

Perfect match!

Absolutely true but who cares?... As always Mel getting caught out is a lot more interesting.

Celebrity = Overrated

OK So I saw this movie... Get The Gringo and it surprised me.

I wasn't expecting much considering Mel's history but I liked this movie and he really did a half decent job.
If you get a chance have a look.

Dolores Heredia plays Mels love interest and she's older and smoking HOT IMO.

Mel is a fantastic actor.

Gringo is one of the better movies on Netflix that nobody talks about.

not brilliant but very fun.

I believe we all make mistakes but I will not validate your poor choices and/or perversions and subsidize the results your actions.
