That's exactly what I said Melissa, but where were Canada, nowhere to be seen! Where talking real hockey here, not this artificial stuff played on ice with participants dressed like medievil warriors. Inga

Emu, well once I was at a nature reserve (private zoo) and the operators were handing out seed food, for us the great unwashed to feed the Emu's. Now these things are about seven foot tall, there also pretty keen on their food. As I approached the Emu's one being quick on the uptake realised I was the food source. Now those eyes they just look straight through you, so I let out a sharp yelp sort of threw the food in the air and ran. Ingrid's a bit of wimp when it comes to dealing with some things and this was one. Certainly the're not my version of a house pet. Inga

Hiya, As a compulsive wearer I've noticed this tend too. It's just so cool as you all know I adore my heels. Still the maximum mainstream height is 4 inch (10 cm) and I nearly always wear 11cm and higher, why? My answer is heels give us from the fairer sex confidence, authority and are essential equipment for sexual sorcery. To me heels are POWER and the HIGHER the better! B) Think I might just use that one as my sig! Inga _________________ HEELS are POWER the HIGHER the BETTER. <font size=-1>[ This Message was edited by: IHeels on 2002-03-18 10:43 ]</font>

400 wow! 5" boots look out here we come! Inga

And another, enjoy "A Welsh motorcyclist who filmed himself tearing along roads at 264 kmh is serving a one-year jail term. Wayne Soman, 32, strapped a video to the petrol tank of his 900cc Kawasaki. Swansea police spotted the camera after stopping him at a checkpoint." Inga

Another: ""Thou shalt not plagiarise sermons" may have to be added to the 10 Commandments in the wake of the 90-day suspension of a Michigan clergyman for lifting his remarks from the Internet. The local bishop is conducting an investigation." Inga

Another: "A sneaky female driver's ploy to use a Washington highway's car pool lane, which requires at least one passenger per vehicle, came unstuck when her mini-van was involved in a crash. Police discovered the woman's passenger was a life-sized mannequin." Inga

From the media: "A London clinic is charging red faced professionals e$11,000 to drill a hole in their armpits, snip away nerve endings and stop them blushing. Patients include TV presenters and Bankers who are fearful that signs of weakness maay damage their careers." Inga

Just think that writer for a fashion mag is spot on! Thanks for the support. Inga

Hiya Laurie, Come on, I've attended a couple of job interviews in 5½", got the position in one, so be daring and go for it. Mind you the rest of my attire was a classic business suit, Jacket, crisp white fitted shirt and knee length skirt, this might have offset the heels. Inga

But you're a tall guy and I'm a tall gal, on average I'm looking down on most guy's too. It's quite a nice feeling, think Laurie might do a bit of the same as she's around 5' 8" ("get to know each other" topic). Inga

Congrat's Laurie, The shoes as are just so so much better than those boots! Inga

At the time heaps, I was a little scared, as most of you know I live in Australia. Think of this for starters: The two major cities Sydney and Melbourne have quite a lot of skyscrapers, whilst there not 110 floors many are in excess of 50 floors on the edge of waterways, pretty good targets not nice if you frequent one as I do. Australia is considered a friend of the US (true), there were rumours of you're next this was published in the local media. How close is life in Australia to the US, pretty close, you only have to look at our anthems to see the word 'free' and you should get the gist. Also at the time I'd go to bed and hear an aircraft overhead thinking it's comming, pretty scary. Now I think things have cooled down a bit, thankfully. Inga

What's all this shopping for Doctor's stuff, surely it's easy enough to find someone who has a clue? Mechanical, I'm not that mechanical, but can change a light bulb too. Anyhow, keep it up the 5 inch stuff reminds me a lot about myself, I too often take my shoes off at my desk, quite relaxing. Inga

Hopefully they would'nt come a crashing down after such modification. Conceptually pretty good idea. Inga

I too don't eat much cheese. Just posted the bit about cheese to generate fun discussion. Francis knows the source by his response. Don't think a thread is really worthwhile. Inga

Not my style, needless to say you like them and that's what counts. I do like the height though, my kind of height. Inga

Well put Bob, totally agree with you! Why, looks like you've got some real facts and not artificial one's to support your statements. Inga

Hiya Richy, Love those pumps with the metal heel shaft, I've got a simular pair, wicked! Terayon, ankle boots are great with pants, I have some and only wear them with jeans / pants in the cooler months. Knee boots I agree are pretty cool, they work best with skirts, very appealing. You're lucky, getting a woman's point of view here. Inga

Hiya Heeldog and Laurie, You mentioned cheese, here's a more comprehensive list: Gouda, Red Leicester, Tilsit, Caerphilly Bel Paese, Red Windsor, Stilton, Gruyere, Emmental, Norwegian Jarlsberger, Liptauer, Lancashire, White Stilton, Danish Blue, Double Gloucester, Cheshire, Dorset Blue Vinney, Brie, Roquefort, Pont-l'Eveque, Port Salut, Savoyard, Saint-Paulin, Carre-de-L'Est, Boursin, Bresse Bleu, Perle de Champagne, Camembert, Edam, Caithness, Smoked Austrian, Japanese Sage Darby, Wensleydale, Greek Feta, Gorgonzola, Parmesan, Mozzarella, Pippo Crème, Danish Fimboe, Venezuelan Beaver Cheese, Cheddar, 'Illchester, Limburger. Hopefully yours was one of these. Inga

It's not hard to give an answer here. For me, being a sporty type and very flexible courtesy of some ballet training I found no real problems in growing into heels. I started part time at 14 to 15 years wearing 3 - 4 inch, when I left school to go to Uni I just gave flats the big heave ho - heels full time - bliss. Over a period of a few years they just got higher to where I'm today. I'm a near permanent wearer of 5 - 5½ inch, wear flats only for sport/gym. Being fastidoius to fit I also have no foot problems. Inga

Terayon, Good on you, it's also nice to see you've got nice new age parents who just might have this equity thing worked out. Inga

I suppose it helped a bit in that I had a part time job in a department store when I was 16 and a manual explaining how to dress was handed out. This was one of the things covered. (Probably should have put this in my original post) Anyhow I generally wore mine at school in a manner that certainly did'nt attract praise from the teaching staff. Inga

Oh well classic in modern terms, in the 18th century they were probably devoting the technology to develop other things. I'm sure Debbie will support me. Inga

I hate the things, yet like Laurie I don't mind scarves, they can be quite elegant. Unfortunately in my school years I went to a private school and had to wear a tie -yuck! PS: Can still tie a 'windsor knot' and a lot of guys can't do this, result is their tie looks ridiculous, like at 45 degrees instead of straight down. Oh yes you're right Debbie I've seen a couple get the shedder treatment, quite amusing.
