On the subject of aging relatives. My mom is 86, and in pretty good health (her knee is giving her problems, but she may be getting surgery on that soon), but she doesn't think her quality of life is very good. I think she's ready to go, but I also think she could have a much more active life if she wanted to. I just think that after my dad passed away she lost a lot of interest doing so.

Awesome -- my coworker just came in to try a DVD on my computer, and I couldn't get you people off the screen! Without making it super obvious that I was frantically trying to get rid of whatever was up, because I feel like that's just going to make people look harder.... Ah well.

Basically, any man/person that criticizes what I wear on a day to day basis b/c it's not SEXY enough can [redacted] my [redacted]. All those things being criticized, while not my favorite articles of clothing, are comfortable/practical in addition to being fashionable, so if the chicas normally in 3 inch heels take to their UGGS I ain't gonna hate. Of course, the "men" quoted for that article would not think me "sexy" even if I wore the clothes they liked, I'm guessing, since I am "fat" and have "short hair." I bet they would appreciate my "nice tits."

Don't you wish I'd stuck with @@?

One doesn't take Mail articles seriously, right? Isn't that a publication that one mocks for stupidity and inanity as a matter of course?

Gladiator sandals completely befuddle me - I see them *all* over NYC, and I don't understand how people can walk around all day in shoes with zero arch support! I mean they're just completely flat!

Some people have flaaaaat feets. Like pancakes.

But my high arches and I totally agree with you.

I mean they're just completely flat!

They had some cute, cheap, non-gladiator sandals at Old Navy, but they were the same thing -- completely flat bottom and not real leather, so incredibly stiff. I can't imagine how they would be comfortable.

I will say I wish no one would wear harem pants. Except MC Hammer.

It's the same people who have been walking around in flip-flops all the time since before the gladiators became popular.

I hate arch supports. Makes me feel like I'm walking on a stone in my shoe. My feet work just fine; stop helping me, shoes! The closer I can get to barefoot, the better.

I don't get the people who like to fly in flip-flops. As much walking as I need to do in an average airport, and as cold as some planes can get, I could not survive in flip-flops.
