Thanks I'll check those out.

I keep seeing cute boots and for the first time I actually want to own some but I have fat calves.

Okay, I don't want to look at mail from Gothic Charm School anymore. The most recent letter:

Ever since I can remember, I have had a love for BDSM. I didn't know what it was called until recently but the feelings were there. Now, this would not be an issue, except that my parents found out due to some unfortunate circumstances. They are vehemently against this interest, and are scared of it. I understand their reaction, but I am not sure that it is rational.

So, in the interest, solely of gathering opinions, do you think a fifteen year old should be allowed to have a BDSM relationship with someone close to her age? Any response is appreciated

I am so afraid to ask what "someone close to her own age" means.

Jilli, I'm thinking BDSM seems beyond the purview of the Lady of the Manners? I know you don't want to push Gothlings away, but - yikes, that's an eeek of a question, especially due to the underage aspect. ETA I hope I don't sound like a prude or an idiot by saying so.

Yeah, what Sox said.

Yeah, I don't think I'm going to be able to answer it. I wonder if there's a good resource for teen kinky people?

Ginger, maybe I'm the only one who loses important documents right inside the wallet.

I once found my lost driver's license tucked inside the lining of my wallet.

askye, Aerosoles has some wide-calf boots, and of course Zappos is my go-to for all my footwear needs.

Thanks for the recs, y'all.

I'm separating posts because I'm entirely freaked out - our garden recycling bin? Had an enormous ENORMOUS ugly huge awful gross slug camped out at the top of it. I'm talking the God of All Slugs. Parked next to my house. GAHHH. I hope I got the lid back on tight, but I'm not going back out to check. Man I hate those things.

SORRY - Screwed up the whitefont!

I would have no idea how to google that and get anything other than porn.

Sox, I know you're freaking, but I have to admit, your "God of all..." designation made me snort Diet Coke up my nose at the visuals it conjured.

Sox, make an offering or libation of beer. It'll die happy and might do your compost some good (if it weren't compost, I'd suggest salt, but there's a reason for the phrase "sowing the ground with salt").
