Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Aims, I totally laid down that law, too! We tried on some girls Skechers with velcro. She has this year to practice on her Chuck Taylors to learn to tie her shoes.
Owen has no interest in learning to tie so he just heads straight for the velcro. I REALLY need to work on that with him. He's going into second grade.
RIGHT?!?! I count "Can't tie her own shoes" as my big parenting failure right now.
Also, just in case you missed it, Cash - WE HAVE SECOND GRADERS. WTH???
My idiot husband bought both the kids high-top converse this summer, without consulting me. Casper finally learned to tie her shoes as a result, but Dillo just turned 5! I'm lucky on the days he can get them on his feet by himself, and it makes getting out of the house in the AM a chore every day. I am all in favor of velcro or slip-ons (Vans for the win).
WE HAVE SECOND GRADERS. WTH???
I KNOW! *boggles*
Vans for the win
My 15-year-old wears slip on Vans most days. I know that it is for the absence of laces more than the cool factor. He actually said "I totally love these shoes, you don't have to tie them!"
I really do want that Camaro.
My bucket list is primarily X-rated. Earning more won't help it.
Money can buy everything, ita.
My bucket list is mostly travel at this point. And moving back to NYC, actually. Probably not a great idea for retirement, but I don't care. I know how to ride the subway.
Yeah, I don't really tie my shoes either. I mean, I got suckered into buying shoes with laces by my awesome shoe store buddy (they're selling the stores! What am I supposed to do now?) because those vegan Earth shoes have ties. But all I do is tie them a little loose and then pretend they're slip-ons. I can't do that with my Doc boots, but they're the only shoes I'm willing to tie for.
I drove down a street with some kids playing basketball yesterday, in my trusty 1998 Subaru Sport, and one of the kids called out, "Nice Lamborghini!"

ION, My Nemesis replied to my email with a substantive response that had no salutation, no closing, and no extraneous words of any type. I suspect she's entirely pissed off. ::shrugs::
Hey, substantive response. Screw the rest. She brought this on herself.
