I would like to know what happened to Phuonginheels.

One of the main supporters of the original war to wipe out the Jews in 1946 was an Islamic religious leader in Lebanon (I can't recall the title he held). I got the distinct impression from my reading on the subject that he did call for a holy war. If he did I don't believe it was ever rescinded...

Lasting peace in the region will only come after the Israelis totally conquer the Arabs once and for all. Through out all of history, peace is achieved only after one side crushes the other militarily, without mercy, into total surrender.

Unfortunately, the VICE VERSA is also a distinct possibility.

How about a screen saver??

My first impression--a foot in bandages--sort of what you'd expect your foot to look like after a visit to your local "quack" after toppling over in them!!! :drinking: Without the platform they would really appeal, tho.

If you're into stilts, then you could probably find 24" heels with 20" platforms, but what would be the point??

I think it would be poetic justice if death would be carried out, as accurately as possible, in the same manner, including the time it took to die, as the killer's victim(s). In those cases of multiple murders, use the victim that suffered the most. Make the punishment fit the offense--that's what child psychologists advocate in raising children. Can't understand why this concept is called "cruel and unusual punishment" when it is applied to adults!

More to the point, pants, even the loose-fitting ones, (generally speaking) emphasize a curvaceous derrierre alot more than a skirt or dress. And high heels (generally) cause the pelvis to "tilt" forward, causing aforementioned derrierre to stick out more! It even works on guys, to some small extent .

Since I've never found a pair of ladies' cowboy boots in a size larger than 10, I can only say that I would not be deterred by a pair in pink if they were in size 12 or 13 and FITME! :x

Two serious thoughts, Laurie: You need to write a book; could base it on some of your comments here. You might also think about writing a "Dear Laurie" column here. Jeff might go for it..Everyone else would, I'm sure. If promoted judiciously, it might be a way to further popularize hhplace all over the net. And it would help with your burnout.

YET(!)

Trolldeg: How large is your Hard Drive(s)? I have a 40GB, which at the time I bought it, seemed astronomical, but now I'm having second thoughts. Do you find you need a lot of HDD space, or for that matter RAM to do your 3D creations? Or do you burn them into CDs to save space? Thanks, AJ

If you take the bible literally, and assume that God couldn't create Eve without Adam, it would seem that Women were God's AND Man's greatest achievement!

Valkyrie has an enchanting look and sound to it. Do you like Wagner too, or are you more into Grieg?

Or perhaps "none of the above"? Just curious.

I've had a love affair with how words are spelled and prounounced all my life. A couple of other scandinavian words that give me pause are:

Viggen for vixen, and

Drakken for dragon.

I found this posted on another forum--thought y'all would enjoy it; 'twas titled:

"What gender are they?"

ZIPLOC BAGS - male, because they hold everything in, but you can

always see right through them.

SWISS ARMY KNIFE - male, because even though it appears useful for a

wide variety of work, it spends most of its time just opening bottles.

KIDNEYS - female, because they always go to the bathroom in pairs.

SHOE - male, because it is usually unpolished, with its tongue hanging

out.

COPIER - female, because once turned off, it takes a while to warm up.

TIRE - male, because it goes bald and often is over inflated.

HOT AIR BALLOON - male, because to get it to go anywhere you have to

light a fire under it... and, of course, there's the hot air part.

SPONGES - female, because they are soft and squeezable and retain

water.

WEB PAGE - female, because it is always getting hit on.

SUBWAY - male, because it uses the same old lines to pick people up.

HOURGLASS - female, because over time, the weight shifts to the

bottom.

HAMMER - male, because it hasn't evolved much over the last 5,000

years, but it's handy to have around.

REMOTE CONTROL - female... Ha! You thought I'd say male. But

consider, it gives men pleasure, he'd be lost without it, and while he

doesn't always know the right buttons to push, he keeps trying.

Hindu... Shakti, Parvati, Kali??

Hello All...What we all are forgetting is that Israel has been experiencing the equivalent of the Oklahoma City bombing on a WEEKLY BASIS. Since Israel has been experiencing terrorist activities for so long, is it no wonder that that powers that be are now being pro-active in the hunt for terrorists? Take the terrorists out of action BEFORE they do another bombing! I'm for even more radical action: anyone harboring a terrorist is elinimated also. I believe that the palesteins have a right to a happy, productive life - but NOT AT THE EXPENSE OF INNOCENT ISRAELI CITIZENS

As God is my witness, I have been a staunch supporter of Israel all of my adult life, and most of the rest of my life as well. That said, and not wanting to play "devil's advocate", the tactics of the Palestinians, while perhaps directed at the wrong targets, are not, in either form nor degree, much different from those of the Sternists, Irgun, Etzel, or Palmach against the Brittish in 1945 & 1946 in what is now the state of Israel. It is possible to see things from the Palestinians' point of view, however twisted that may seem to those who know the real truth about how they came to be...

If the Palestinians had received a full and complete lesson in history, their wrath would be justified against the secular and religious leaders of Lebanon, Iraq, Jordan, Syria, and Egypt, who entreated their ancestors to "leave palestine so that we can have a completely Jewish kill zone, and when we are finished you can move back in and fertilize the fields with the Jewish corpses"! And who NEVER allowed the palestinians they had thus coerced to abdicate their homeland to assimilate into the populations of the surrounding Arab nations to which they had fled, when events of 1947 & 1948 didn't go as planned. And who kept them bottled up in little Ghettos on the Israeli border, hoping that "next year in Jerusalem" the Arab Nations would be victorious.

So from the Arab point of view, the 1947 war is still going on, and will continue for as many years as it takes to wipe Israel off the map, present peace treaties notwithstanding. And since the Palestinians would never have received a balanced, "two-sided", non-religious (read non-Islamic) education in modern history inside those same ghettos on the border, they are still believing with all their hearts and souls that they are helping their Arab "brothers" fight the infidel in a holy jihad. Macchiavelli would have been proud of how well the Palestinians' Arab brothers have so accurately translated his philosophy into action in these "modern times"!

And ANY nation or culture that supports Israel is, in their eyes, "harboring the enemy", and should therefore "be eliminated" also. There is room for the compassion of Christ, or of Mohammed, on all sides, unless you propose to nuke the entire Moslem world to radioactive cinders.

IMHO, Fuschia is such a loud color that if you can wear it at all, practically any other color would also make it (shiny Teal satin comes to mind...) as long as it is shiny, garish, and loud, and as long as you have some neutering color in between, such as black, white or beige.

How about "ENCHANTRESS"?

of course im smarter than you, im smarter than everyone

You're letting yourBRAINgo to yourHEAD!

Whatever be your "bag" I suppose. Can't stand Mary Janes, especially the black high heeled variety--yecch! From a certain point of view I suppose a pink or white pair wouldn't look out of place with a poodle skirt, but I'm not overly fond of them either. I think you'll find a lot of MJ fans here, though, my dissenting voice notwithstanding. Enjoy!

I agree, I prefer the uninterupted look of sandalfoot myself. I'm surprised they're less common than the reinf. kind

They're not, but you ought to try wearing the nude toe hosiery all day in high heels and see how many $4 apiece pairs last the entire day without a run starting at or near the big toe!

If you want to see more women/SO's wearing nude toe hose, you might try offering to BUY replacements for them/her at the end of each day!!!

I think the bottom pic (above!) has been spliced--just doesn't look quite right, somehow.

Sort of off-topic, but what the hey--it'll make a great 300th post! SMG IS nice, but I prefer sultry brunnettes, such as:

Lucy Liu

Catherine Zeta-Jones

Halle Berry

This is OK if you're Laurie, or Trolldeg? But for the rest of us... By the way, how do you start a poll? (GRUMP--Terayon smarter than me )

Do Toe Loop Thongs Count? Size 11, LEI.

Straps originally solid--too tight; modified by me with Velcro and my sewing machine, after the shoe shop refused to give it a go!!

Around here (must be the young ladies' reaction to the stifling conservatism here), along with the wild metalics the girls wear on their toenails, most also wear one or more toe rings, and quite often a thin ankle bracelet as well. What do you think? In case any of the gals are interested in one man's opinion, which I doubt(!), I think it is very attractive, and only enhances a girl's femininity, even when NOT wearing high heels.
