I have a silly number, but that's mainly because I don't think I have ever, of my own volition, thrown out a pair of shoes. I stop wearing them, but I have trouble throwing them out.

"You have a lot of shoes." I have, maybe, five pair of shoes.
Bwah-ha-ha-ha!
That's so ... not me.

Hmph. I've been with my Ethan longer than that, and nobody took me to a spa.
Hee. But they've been together for 8 years and are JUST getting married.
Did they just get out of prison? Or maybe they were maroonrd on a desert island for eight years? Because then I can see where they might need a little pampering. Otherwise, I"m kind of baffled at what one has to do with the other.

Hmm. This ties into my theory about conservative policy-making, which is that they legislate for the world they want to live in in the belief that this will cause the world to live up to it.

I love the look of Nine West shoes, but they're too narrow on me now, and I always manage to kill them.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I'm the same way, Emily. I've only successfully gotten rid of shoes that I truly cannot squeeze onto my feet any more, or that have, in fact, grown mold. Strangely, falling apart does not necessarily qualify.

They're mostly too narrow on me too, but I can get away with the sandals. I don't expect to do too much walking in these anyway.
Someone remind me in an hour that I need to buy a new black strapless bra and a pair of black stockings on my way home tonight.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Happy anniversary, Jessica and DH!
I love those shoes! Just may have to get me a pair.... Emily and I have the same issues--I still have shoes from high school that I can't throw out even though I wouldn't dream of wearing them again.
Speaking of shoes: My wedding shoes, in silver

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Personally, I don't see it either, but, whatever. It's on Saturday and then it's done and I don't have to deal with it anymore.

Welcome, Dylan! It's good to have you around.

Er. Well, like the disapproval of sex education and free condoms -- where the rationale for them is "maybe they oughtn't have sex, but they're going to, so let's minimize the life-altering consequence," the argument against seems to be "they shouldn't have sex, end of story." Similarly, things like unemployment -- "Sometimes people end up in unfortunate positions and need help" versus "people should get another job." It sometimes seems (to me) as though many conservative policy-makers see any attempt to cope with a reality that doesn't fit best expectations as giving into that reality.
Not sure that makes sense. It's just something that's been percolating.
