periods. Well, I don't have the worst part anymore, but I still have the PMS and the water retention. But I seem to be sensitive to water retention as it is. For a few days every now and then, it just seems worse.

I knew I wasn't crazy, thanks Vicki!

You can only check how you look in a full length mirror so you can make sure your shoes are okay.

what is Mariah is already lurking around here??? Hrm... who could it be?

No, Suede, I do not own any suede heels. Fake suede, but those are three inch heels, and I am well past that now. I would love some, but it's not easy for me to find them without a credit card and a willingness to surf the net for them.

Black high slitted skirt, burgandy high necked stretch top, and black patnent stiletto sandals.

This makes it very difficult to be here, picking on my mother's homeland like that... *SNIFF*

Way to go, Azraelle. They look good! Very nice. Feel proud!

I'm glad you think we rule! That makes the hours wasted, um, I mean, spent here so much more rewarding! Yeah! Enjoy it, participate, and post like mad! We're all a little mad here, but it's fun!

What was ages ago? That thread? I didn;t know how to use the board at that point. I think your encouragement paid off Look at me now!

It's not a blonde thing, I'm quite smart. It's a work related stress thing. I made some whole wheat loaves. Delicious. Amd I am always writing a novel. I love to write and wish it were my job. Thanks Dean.

Black, followed by black, and then maybe black. Like, some part of the goth thing can never be erased from me.

Yes, I love heels at home. I find it fun to wear a leopard neglige or robe, and my leopard stiletto sandals, and just lounge. It doesn't do much for me, I just enjoy it on a fashinable level. it makes me feel like I could be rich and important and maybe even sexy. It's great fun.

If Denmark loses, I will claim to be Canadian and leave it at that. Yes. Right. Watch my shifty eyed glare please. If Denmark does win, I won't care much. I'll just be happy the country of my heritage gets some world spotlight time.

When you redesign your work place any way you can so you don't hit your head on anything ever again. It happened to me, we had a new shelf put in near a doorway, and of course I have been going higher and higher, and I walked into it in a bad way a few times. more, let me think You know you're a high heeled addict when... You your sister thinks you are overdressed for doing laundry. When you try to plan your outfit around what goes on your feet. You walk past a shoe store and end up staring in the window for ten minutes. You complain that everything the shoe store has is ugly. You find two inch heels worse than wearing flats. I'll leave it there, no need for overkill...

There are ways around the poor manufacturing policies of shoe companies. You can easily pad the ball area like I do, for increased comfort. And my feet are just a touch bigger than the normal width, which is fixed by breaking in the shoes at home. Since I have to go 11 (where am I going to find 10.5 US?) the shoes have room to change, and they adapt to my feet after a week of wearing them in the evenings. Practice and preperation, that's the key.

Hey Arno, I do appreciate that you know your Roman social history, but I hardly need a lesson. I received more 'A's in courses on Rome than the first page of listings in the phone book. Of course, I always made strange jokes with a very serious face in the middle of important discussions. I wonder if part of it was rating me on my comedy...

We have the matches on a large TV at work, for customers, because we're all about TV. I ignore it generally. However, I do have one comment to make. Hurrah Danmark! My step dad will be pleased, I'm sure.

Missy has it right, it seems. Wear what you like, and flaunt it! Thats part of the fun in life, isn't it?

The book that we now call bible is just many little books written over a thousand or so years. Heck, what goes in the front was written after the middle! Why? To keep people in line, of course. I believe the basic message of being good, and it's a great idea, but it was communicated in a way designed for a society that is not ours, and so today, we cannot see the relevance because we are enlightened and advanced in our societies as far as technology and medicine. But to keep order and obedience three thousand years ago, creating a story about why God did things and the bad he could bring to those who were bad helped. Heck, some of the stories, like the Flood story, are two different versions written into one story. Like, take two of every animal, and then it says take seven of every clean animal, or something like that. It's not well organized, but it worked back then. Today, we just remember two of every animal. It's subjective. SO when we read it, we need to take out the basic belief and discard the trapings. They were not meant for us, they were written for another society in another time.

Actually Dexter, I can't buy shoes in most stores, I take a US 10 or 11 depending on the style and heel height. Many times I must pass on the regular shoe stores because I know they won't have anything that will fit me, and sometimes they have European 40 as US 10 and I know that's not even close. But then, this is why I am picky about shoes, and I have returned shoes that I loved but could not fit so well. If I cannot wiggle those toes enough, they go back. Comfort can be found with high heels, if one has money and patience and a good supplier.

FDR, 3 terms as president, and I think he died in 1944. Am I close? I am Canadian, so I don't know if I am certain about it. Augustus was sole ruler and thus Emperor of Rome from 31 BCE to 14 CE. That I know. I think I know. Watch me be wrong.

My male servants wouldn't get to wear heels, actually. I orefer viking type scandinavian men, but that's just part of my heritage influencing me. So leather pants and that's it while in my service. Tight leather pants.

black stretch skirt with high slits on either side, red blouse, black stockings, and black five and a quarter inch stilettos.

The Calgary Stampede will never go away. I love going, you can walk around, eat corn dogs and pizza, sit and have beer, and I actually like Chuck Wagon racing once a year. But the whole cowboy mentality that grips our metropolis bothers me. For ten days a year, everyone wears a cowboy hat, gets drunk, and gets into country music. Then for 355 other days they just stick to being drunk. My fashion sense does not fit in here.
