See? People who never even wore gauchos back me up!

I would never wear gauchos (sorry, Aims), but I love my croc sandals: [link]

I walked about two miles in those the weekend before Kalee was born without a problem.

My mom is *this* close to drive the shit out of me. When that I say I need undisturbed time to study I do not mean, for some reason, to "come by every 20 minutes so we could have a little chat and ask me to do urgent stuff around the house that will take more than 25 minutes out of my "undisturbed time"".

And after, when she asks why I'm upset and I go "oh, I didn't have the time to finish my homework and now I'm too tired to even try to solve them. That's all", and she goes "oh, so what are you planning to do about it?", trying not to yell at her/burst into tears is very, very hard.

@Sparky - no worries! Gauchos are not for everyone. And those are the Cleo sandals! I want a pair SO BAD.

Shir, that sounds so frustrating. My sister has that problem, too, she lives at home. I don't suppose you can put up a "Do Not Disturb" sign, lock the door, and put on some headphones?

I wore gauchos and LOVED THEM. And I'm not ashamed. I loathe regular Crocs with the burning hatred of a thousand fiery suns, but will admit that some of their other styles border on cute.

I'm at work - we'll see how long I last. I've got a crapload of stuff to do AND meetings taking up a good chunk of my day, yay stress!

Nope. Between that and my noisy neighbors, I try to stay in uni as much as I can. But it doesn't help me when I try and study during the weekends.

Don't supposed I could just, dunno, move in the library? Cause I totally would.

Max is home and on several meds. Luckily, most of them fit together into one of the capsules we had left over from Teddy's cyclosporine doses. Unfortunately, the one that doesn't fit is the 2 milliliters of the liquid antibiotic that makes Max foam at the mouth.

On the other hand, Max now has his Halloween costume, as long as he wants to dress up as a rabid cat.

The Mary Janes are adorable and they even have some Doc-looking leather ones, also.

move in the library?

People do it all the time. Not so much at my current uni, but at my last one we'd have students who could make it work for a couple of weeks.

Aims, check amazon for crocs. There are often good prices there on closeouts. I've worn out two pair of that style.

For those who love their Crocs, do they come in wide widths? I've never tried them because I didn't know.

Fred Pete, I'm glad Max is home and doing better. More health~ma to him!
