Ewwwwwww ewwwwww ewwwwwww EWWWWWWW.

Ok, there`s a technique, I dunno how to describe, where you mildly grip with your toes, and the whole sole comes up and down with your foot, and I dunno...but it`s quiet. I swears.

Liese has prehensile toes, pass it on.

She might but it's also an awesome trick. I have a little callus on my index toes (what do you call them?) from holding onto sandals. I flaunt local weather and wear sandals when I want it to be sandal weather.

It's weird, I hate the thong between my toes much of the time, but toe-ring sandals are my OTSandal.

Then he saw my work clothes and he about fell out. Turns out, he should have taken it personally. No, his booty calls weren't sufficiently a big deal for me to get all dolled up.

He thought FB was reason to get dolled? Dude, no.

I do minimalist footwear entirely now (mostly Terra Plana Vivo Barefoot), which means no arch support, no cramped toes, and very thin (3.5mm or so) soles. It's been great for my back.

Plei, speak to me of this. Wherever. My back thanks you in advance.

It just amuses me to see him an international CEO with a hot niche consumer item, having known him in the rugby context.

I think that is kinda charming. And I like some of his dad's shoes. Especially useful in the PNW.

I shave my pits because I prefer it, not because The Man tells me I have to. My lady parts are kept trimmed to my satisfaction, not his.

I keep lady parts to my own taste. I shave my pits to barely deal with cultural standards because they have stupid sensitive skin but I haven't mentally gotten to a place where I can just let them grow. My legs? I shave every.single.time.I.shower. For me. They rub together and I dislike stubble. It's quick.

They look like her hips vomited after drinking nine kinds of Kool-Aid.

That's Ke$ha, right? There you go.

My phone won`t show me the pants. I think it is trying to save me.
 
ION, I just tried a caffeine nap. FAIL. No way I was even getting down. But then I realized...this is the first caffeine I`ve had in two weeks. Like the last time I kicked, I was doped up enough not to mind the withdrawal, which I can remember and differentiate from the cold symptoms now that I think about it. And now it`s got my digestive system all whacked out and my heart racing and my sleep cycle disturbed, and dude, I don`t want to go back on. AND I just ran out of my good Kona coffee before I got sick so if I kick caff now, I can totally save that coffee money towards my kayak!

I've been thinking of trying the Vivo Barefoot; now that I have a rec from Plei I probably will. I'm all about back to nature, baby. Except for how Nature wants me to have hairy pits and wrinkles and die.

I think it is trying to save me.

It is. Let the phone save you from unspeakable horror.

Somebody worked really hard to make those pants the abomination that they are.

Someone should be punished.

Food question: do you people add stuff to your ground beef to make yummier hamburgers, and if so, what? I'm currently contemplating a raw egg and some bread crumbs.

Salt & pepper only - egg & bread crumbs will make it taste like meatloaf.

Sweet! Less work for me. I thought my mom made them that way, but I just talked to her and she hasn't done that in a long time.

BTW, the CEO of that company was the cute English guy in my Honors Philosophy class who said about rugby, "Oh, you've GOT to try it, it's a whole different culture," inspiring me to check out a practice. With typical British understatement, if you asked him what his father did, he'd say, "He's a shoemaker." (Last name Clark, as in Clarks). Not that you care. It just amuses me to see him an international CEO with a hot niche consumer item, having known him in the rugby context.

That's hilarious!

I like to put some worcestershire sauce in burgers, maybe a little onion if they're lower-fat.
