Let me note: I think puffy sleeves are adorable on other women. But when I try them on, I look like a big blob of dough.
Spike's Bitches 36: Did I Sully Our Good Name?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Aimee, do you wear them with gauchos?
WHAT ELSE????
Also, I love wedges.
But hey - it's not unusual for me to be in the minority on stuff like this. I'm my own majority! Whoot!
she's here!!! ::dancing happy big-sister:: they got in at 2am, as expected.
Oh! remembers
Steph! Why are there no anti-biotics available over the counter? Joe thinks the FDA is trying to protect us from super-strains. I think the pharmecutical companies are missing out on a large cash cow and would have their lobbyists kicking the FDA's ass in a heartbeat, but for some reason they aren't (that I know of.). What say you, oh knower of all things medicinal?
I've come around on wedges because they're easier to walk in than heels.
But I still want to ban bubble skirts. (STILL, not will. Learn to type, Jess!)
I am with Jessica on the bubble skirt issue.
I am still solidly against gauchos. Also, bubble skirts must go.
I'm with Steph.
Can't do any sort of heel, much less one that pitches me forward. And puffs on my least attractive feature (thick upper arms) is just asking for the silent ridicule of the passing masses.
Speaking of passing. Even though I was supposed to rest today, I walked 5 miles...keeping a very similar pace to yesterday's ground breaker. I did feel it a lot more than yesterday.
I need to start doing some work with free weights I'm thinking. Might be able to do something about those thick arms...
Still?
No puffy sleeves!
And I agree with Joe regarding the superbugs. People are already so irresponsible when taking PRESCRIBED antibiotics, I can only imagine the number of drug-resistant strains that would be created by people self-medicating.
OTC meds are good for things you can take until your symptoms clear up, but nsm for things you need to keep taking after you feel better. [eta: And that's not even addressing the problem of knowing when you have a bacterial infection without going to the doctor first.]
I'm fond of the wedge sandals. Not so much the puffy sleeves.
Flip flops are specifically forbidden in school and yet a huge % of the kids are wearing them. Next week is the last week of school and I have noted a major slide in dress code compliance. They are all just begging to be sent home. Best news evah from my son last night was that 3 days next week he has late start. I have only one more day that I have to get up at 6 something.
