You've not just been released from prison or some R Wing, have you? You WILL legally be able to leave the state without calling anyone from Probation, correct? You don't own more than 8 or 7 cats, do you? You DO throw out old newspapers and cans, right? You're not trying to break any records for not bathing, are you?

Luckily the 7th cat just died...I lost him in the pile of old newspaper and cans, so it turns out that he wasn't getting fed. Then I didn't find him for a few weeks since I couldn't smell anything over my own stench after not bathing for about 2 months. But his death set me straight, and I now bathe daily to try to avoid a repeat situation and I'm down to only 6 cats. I now appear to qualify with your criteria.

Uh Oh! I'll have to write that down.... take bath at least once a week...

Got it! Now on to buy some cat food!

Lol...teams of 3 would be fun. Of course then you wouldn't fit in the taxi with the camera guy.

I was thinking just the other day as I watched the first episode that if I want to be successful, I probably need to learn some spanish. It seems to help a lot of people out in these...the ones who can say more than "Rapido" come across better and I think get further on any given challenge.

In addition to that, I think my other strategies are set...get my teeth whitened and buy all my shirts 2 sizes too small...and then have big strong men help me get everywhere!

Let's go! The only thing I might disturb you with (from your list anyway

) is a propensity for saving newspapers (sad, I know). However, you would be THRILLED to know (as are my family members who don't even have to live with me) I did a thorough newspaper purge just this weekend! I must be psychic.

Anyway, now we just have to overcome the fact that we are not in the same place at the same time to do the videotape.

The closest I came to convincing someone was my very strong skating coach who did agree but flaked on me when the cattle call came our direction. I think he was just humoring me.

Even better! We can videotape us TALKING ON THE COMPUTER to each other!!

We can even say stuff, like, "I'll tell him/her I'm a big hiker, even though all the hiking I do is a mad dash to the car at 4 p.m. Fridays!"

So are those nightly hauntings I receive.

I had to resort to putting Skip's nightlight in my bedroom....
