The status is NOT quo.

Ha! BT made me laugh.

I like the people here. You're my kind of crazy and wrong-headed.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I also recommend Danskos. Sometimes you can get them on 6pm.com or ebay cheaper. Mine don't last as long as Kate's because I have a limp and wear down one heel (I should really investigate shoe repair

I am about ready to give up on Danskos because I wear the heels down so fast and they are NOT repairable. I am wondering if they have a new sole material that wears more quickly, because I have been wearing Danskos for about 15 years and they have never worn out as fast as my last couple of pairs. I am considering trying Sanitas instead.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

All of my shoes these days seem to be Clarks. Not super-expensive (if you shop around you can sometimes find last year's styles for around $60) and they're friendly to my knees.

ION, Dylan has slap disease. Thanks, school!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm sorry, I'm sure it is an actual disease and I hope he gets better soon, but that name just sounds like a joke.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

It’s fifth disease.

Oh, it's not serious - by the time the rash appears the virus is already gone, and most of the time there are no other symptoms. I'm taking him to a birthday party in a couple of hours.

The name comes from the distinctive red facial rash (looks like a slap in the face). Almost all kids get it at some point, especially if they're in school or using public transportation. (So in NYC, everyone.)

I do like a name made up by regular people. "He's got that slap-in-the-face disease!" "Oh, you mean slap disease?"

My one experience with Danskos was not great. They had elastic in the strap that broke quickly and I was never able to get them repaired in a way that the strap wasn't either way too loose or too tight. And they gave me knee pain when I walked any distance in them. They are still the most expensive shoes I have ever bought.

My second most expensive shoes were a pair of Fluevoge boots. I love them and I've worn the hell out of them. But a seam has come unstitched and I have to get them repaired for the second time in the nine months I've owned them. Fluevog is paying for the first repair at least. Maybe I will complain again?

In short, expensive shoes have not been long lasting shoes for me.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

It’s fifth disease.

Cuz it's, like, the fifth virus they bring home from school?
