  1. Past hour
  2. I just found out yesterday we once had a canal system close to where I live. It was not very long, only 38 miles with 27 locks, and only ran from 1773-1850, but was built and a working canal system. I was getting the wife’s car fixed and in the waiting room was a book on hidden local history so there it was. No doubt there is a novel lurking in that wee bit of information somewhere! 🙂
  3. We were not laughing at your expense as much as you allowed us to an example to use. But you can certainly blame me, and can only hope you accept my apology. I should have, and certainly could have; used myself for an example instead of your belly-piercing. A regretful oversight. Like me walking. I used to be a fair-weather walker for health, then one day I just decided I was going to be more committed. No matter the weather, whether a blizzard at -20 below zero (f) and blowing 20 mph, I was going walking, or 90 degrees (f) and not a bit of a breeze to cool me off. And if I didn’t, I would wear blue socks for a year. In that situation no one is going to die if I cave on my daily walking plan, nor anyone know if I wore blue socks the next day or not, but its just my way of holding myself more accountable. When I was younger, I lacked that. I am just trying to be better at follow-through. Accountability. Character. Integrity… whatever it is, this is just me trying to do what I say I will. And that really is the point here. NO ONE CARES. They don’t care if I wear or don’t wear blue socks. They don’t care if I walk everyday or not. They don’t even care if I wear polish on my toes, shave body hair or wear high heels… people are so busy with their own lives and problems at best they notice, but care… nope, they got their own lives to continue on with. It has taken me far too long to learn that, but I am now better off because of it.
  4. We used to have this circus come to our town, which was a tiny little place with less than 1000 people. But that circus knew how to glean money from a tiny town. It was probably more wrong than right, but this circus had the acts that entertained the kids, but did so announcing acts with a lot of innuendo that talked over the kids and made the parents laugh. Then they always had a aerial performer come out wearing five inch high heeled mules who wore a costume that was 90% see-thru so little was left to the imagination of the fathers. The mothers got to watch both kids and husband smile so yes: everyone was entertained. But I liked it because it was like an 1880 circus, sitting right up front where you could see things instead of 17 miles back like in a hockey arena, and where you paid more money to see less than what this small circus allowed you to see. A circus where the woman doing the aerial act sold tickets, did the dog act with her dogs, a pony act, while the announcer and two other guys did everything else that had to be done. A true 5 person circus. But sadly they were at a small town in New Hampshire one year, a microburst exploded and the wind took the big top and flipped it over and a woman was killed. No fault of the circus company at all, but they were sued and that ended the fun little circus that used to come to town. But I am glad my kids got to see a fun little circus during their childhoods.
  5. I have seen her on Instagram. It is very impressive and she does it extremely gracefully
  6. I’m sure the conversation helped, but she did notice you walking in those Hot Chicks and was interested enough to comment. You had to be doing something right. a walk of 170 metres in Hot Chicks is very impressive - about 170 metres further than I could go. It’s a distance I’d like to try in my 12cm boots though - although I doubt anybody watching me would be inspired to dig out their heels and start wearing them!
  7. Today
  8. I realize that everybody is having a bit of fun at my expense, and that's fine with me. The "pain in the neck" I was referring to was all of the maintenance that would be required to have a navel piercing. Like Cali intimated, having a belly ring buried somewhere in a shag carpet is not a good look, and it's certainly nothing I'd want to look at. So if I'm not going to show it off to the public, that's a LOT of time to spend twice a week keeping everything beaten down for the privilege of being a navel-gazer. And that's if the silly thing heals up right, and there's no guarantee of that, especially at my age. This is not about a solemn promise to myself broken, it's about separating fantasy from reality. When actually forced to make a decision, the cost-benefit ratio did not look good. And let's not forget about the fact that I wouldn't be around anymore after that, because my wife would kill me!
  9. Now that sounds really impressive!
  10. Ah, see, so it was probably just the car itself if you encountered the same
  11. I was also quite surprised that she knows a bit about heels and even owns a pair of Louboutins. Yes, I could see that she sometimes wears heels, at least more than others, but this was not what I expected. Thank you! I have to point out that up to now I've only chosen the shortest possible walk, which is as I measured 170 m long. I want to keep it short for the beginning as I rather want to do it more often. And I think it was more about our conversation than my walking skills that got her into thinking about her Pigalles again, but I'm happy about it anyway 🙂
  12. My wife has talked about getting some new heels... but because we are headed into winter, she wants some heeled boots. I dismissed her talk the other day, but apparently she is serious because she brought it up again. She has a favorite sweater dress that is grey, and her thoughts were, a pair of over-the-knee boots would look nice with it. Probably grey in color as well. The sweater dress kind of has a funny story to it. We were at the mall and eating at a food court when we saw it hanging high in a store beside us. My wife and I are best friends, so we banter a lot and soon that started; with her thinking it was a typical sweater and me saying it was a sweaterdress. Well we typically end up in these wagers to deduce who is right, so with dirty dishes to be done on the line, I went over and asked the clerk if it was a sweater or a sweaterdress. She said it was a VERY short sweaterdress, but was one, and if we wanted it. Needless to say it came home with us. Sometimes my wife will temper the look with a pair of legging underneath, but on some dates... she will wear it by itself even if it is very short. So she has been thinking it would look good with over-the-knee boots. Sorry to hear about your pending layoff. Where I was working, the company just sold it to another owner who has every intention of tearing the facility down. It will remain in operation for a few years, but I have no interest in riding a dying horse. Again I am sorry for your economic downfall of pending doom.
  13. It's circus stuff, and who doesn't love a circus? I'm always a sucker for watching stuff like this. I also like the videos, and there are many out there, where a woman walks on wine bottles in pointe shoes. And I don't even like pointe shoes all that much.
  14. I have multiple reasons for full-body shaving, but one of them is because my wife and I were competitive swimmers. I know some ladies would probably think its odd to see a man fully shaven, but for her its not because swim teams often have "shaving parties" for swimmers just before major swim meets. She is used to seeing men completely hairless. Whether or not you actually get meaningful faster swim times I am not so convinced of. Myself, I think it will gain popularity. I just shave, but just because I am cheap and it is quick and easy. Once it's done that first time, it only takes a few minutes to keep the hair off.
  15. Don't get me wrong--I have several pairs of mid heels that I wear fairly regularly, but I am not consumed by the desire to expand the collection. I wear them around the house, I wear them to work the farmer's market, and yes, I have even occasionally worn them to choir rehearsal. I also have several pairs of mid heels that I never wear, and at the moment I can't think of why I would ever wear them again. Do I wish I had a more neutral color of mid heeled sandal? Yes, but I'm not going to go to a great deal of trouble to find some. I expect to be laid off any week now, but no one knows the day or the hour when the thief will come. I suppose the office people do, but they ain't sayin'.
  16. I’ve driven a Fiat Punto, not in heels, and I didn’t feel comfortable with the pedals either
  17. What a cool story! She obviously knows her heels if she had a pair of Louboutin Pigalles in her wardrobe and it's nice to think you got her interested in bringing them back out again. It is also quite a compliment to your abilities in the Hot Chicks. The fact that you could do a few turns around the block in them is a wonderful feat in itself, but to do so looking so graceful that an onlooker is inspired to want get out her Louboutins and think about wearing them again is the best kind of compliment you could have. Not many people can walk so fluidly in Hot Chicks that other people want to take up wearing heels as a result.
  18. I already did a few walks around the block in the Hot Chicks. This is the best (and hardest) training so far. Yesterday I had a funny experience. I'm doing my walks in the evening, it's mostly already dark outside and not much going on. But yesterday a neighbour was in the garden and she saw me walking by. At first she just greeted me normally, but then she had a wondering second glance and said: "Wow, they're especially high today". We then had a little conversation and it turns out she also has a pair of Louboutins, the Pigalle 100. She said she doesn't really wear them anymore, but I made her curious to get them out again 😉
  19. @Shyheels That's a good idea! No, it was a Fiat Punto. I can't recall what exactly the problem was, it just didn't feel good. It might as well have been the car in general, but I didn't drive it in flats so I can't say for sure.
  20. I once wrote a novel where the murder weapon ended up being a stiletto heel. This husband and wife were going on a dinner date when they stopped by to pick up a check from a con artist. Things played out and realizing they were being scammed, the woman got so incensed she struck at the man connecting with his corraded artery in his neck, killing him. Well, I write fiction, but I had to wonder if this ever happened so I looked it up. You only need to ask Ana Trujillo of Texas who had stabbed her boyfriend, Dr. Andersson 25 times with her size nine, five-inch, blue suede high-heeled pump. By the time paramedics arrived it was too late to save the doctor. She was sentenced to life in prison where she now wears flip flops and not high heels... thankfully.
  21. Was it a Honda CR-V? The wife has one, and just the way the gas pedal is, I have to turn my foot at an odd cant to push on the gas. It works, but on longer drives it really can start to pain my foot. On really long drives it causes it to cramp. And like someone else said, the modern cars, including the Honda CR-V in this country anyway, has a variable transmission, so cruise control does not work great on it at all. It can never find an idea shift point because it is not locked into a particular gear.
  22. Oh, okay. That is very interesting. I would have never considered the unavailability of high quality, high heeled shoes at a reasonable price. It makes sense though. I am sorry that you can't find those heels and are working so many hours. I got the opposite problem: I am in between jobs and in between different houses (the movers come on Thursday) so I don't have a lot going on.
  23. Yesterday

    New Mani

    Many years ago, I told myself I would get earrings when my mother died, it would kill her (I thought). Now she is well over 100, I wonder if I will ever to it. Having hairless bodies is a function of gyms and tattoos. That 'cute girl' tattoo is not as cute when it is hairy. I need sections of my body hairless to tape, so I get waxed regularly.

    New Mani

    If piercing your belly button is a pain in the neck you missed the target by a bunch! 😁
  26. We have indeed wandered far from the beaten path! And I’m gonna continue wandering for just a bit. About mlroseplant’s inclination to get a belly button piercing - for some reason, I’ve long been fascinated with the notion of an earring or earrings. Now obviously, that one would be impossible to keep a secret for long, but the notion endures. And the aforementioned nail tech, and my massage therapist (and dear friend,) have, unsolicited, both fueled that small flame 🙂 Now, whether painted nails, leggings, belly button rings, earrings, whatever - I’m a (retired) engineer with not a notion of understanding the inner workings of the human mind, but this conversation about quietly stepping out of the traditional boxes brings to mind a quip I’ve heard attributed to the late, famous Will Rogers, “Oklahomans will vote dry as long as they can stagger to the polls.” Regards, Logjam
  27. I drive in heels all the time. No problem with that. Since I normally do not wear stilettos but block or stacked heels, it doesn't present a problem with me. Yesterday for example I wore a pair of small 3-1/2 " block heel , loafer pumps to church, then went out in the afternoon wearing a pair of black knee boots with 3-1/2" stacked heels. a pink skort above the knee, with a black polo shirt with a pink Breast Cancer Awareness logo on it. Got a couple compliments on my ensemble while I was out doing some Sunday shopping. Happy Heeling, bluejay
  28. Same. But in reading your comment the idea suddenly came to me that if I got my bike out of storage, I could put on my heels and pedal up the towpath to a place where I could go for a stroll and get in some real world practice. Not cycling in heels for thrills, but for a practical reason.
