Yes Calv, many threads, but that weaves something great. Doesn't it? I always thought a higher thread count was good for the fabric. In this case, the fabric of conversation.
Whatever some guy wants wo wear, let him, so long as he doesn't show anything he shouldn't. As for the language issue... I think I am lost now. The only smurf that wore heels was smurfette! Quite intersting for a Medieval world that provided the backdrop. Yes, I liked the Smurfs. I think.

That's why I said we should measure ourselves before heels, after heels, and call the difference the height of the heel. To determine what we can see and cannot see. Of course, if are looking at the design and not the effect, then there is nothing wrong with measuring what we can see and ignoring the rest.

Don't agree I'm afraid. There is more than enough globalisation (or americanisation) going on at the moment, so we should keep our idiosyncracies and language differences.
I didn't say we should make everything here global, I think we should be unique. Just a language for us, not the rest of the world. let's create a sub culture and spread diversity!

Payless is a lower cost chain of fashionable yet comfortable shoes. They have gone with the comfy trend so much the past few years that the styles tend to be boring. It's a typical North American chain that sacrifices elegance and variety for comfy frump and cheap prices.

I have an idea... Why not determine the heel by standing barefoot and being measured for height. Then out on the shoes, be measured again, and call the differrence the Net gain height. This way, we are discussing the shoes in terms of how much taller they make a person. I understand that people are not actually an inch taller for going up to six inches instead of five, but sometimes there has to be a way to look at this other than the shoe. And as for measuring the shoes, why not go up the back of the heel? Obviously we want to find the height of the actual heel, at the highest point. That's where my foot is elevated the most in my shoes. If we measure on the inside or any other place, then my nice five inch stilettos are only three and a half inches. Maybe I am missing the point. I favour level surface, measure height along the back.

We could start our own language. Our own slang. Others have done this in the past, based on sports or music, so why can't we?

Well Arno, people I know use the copper and feel better for it. Even if it is a placebo, it has a positive effect, so why not have them? As for nerve transmission, is it not true that chemicals sit in between each neuron or nerve, to block the signal? I am not expernt on the body but I remember learning this in school at some point. In order to fire a nerve sequence and do something, we need to have our brain send the order, and the chemical that blocks transmission is then neutralized for the nerve to fire. After the action is complete, the chemical returns to normal and continues to block signals. Maybe this has been proven wrong in recent years, I do not know. But if it is true, then it explains why a magnetic field cannot trigger action in the nervous system. It would not show the body as not responding, but simply having a blocking method in place. What is to say, then, that other things cannot bypass this? One day science says something is good, the next, bad. One doctor says this is possible, another publishes a paper a month later to say the opposite. If we think something works, we will do it. The brain controls the body, after all, and if we, in our brains, believe in something, it can have a positive effect on the entire body. That is what matters, isn't it? Happy brain functions?

Right now I am finding the same experience as you boys. I can do five inches at work with ease, but for heavy walking, I stick with four inches. Sure, this will change one day, but right now, I am much the same as all of you. I think that is kind of neat! Now to reach Inga and Debbie status and push those stilettos to more use.

Was there not some international language called Esperanto being flaunted at one point? Not that it would do much good at a bus rally. I think we should just try to find a middle ground, and we should sometimes choose our words with a bit of care. I feel that the international aspect of our community should not force us to wonder about the use of a certain word, but rather see us respect one another by trying to find a common means of expression. Of course, it is a foolish dream, but if we try, we may get a little bit of what we need.

If you're looking for international police officers, they come from Canada, usually.
That's our thing, well trained, poorly equipped military hoping to make everyone act friendly. Blessed are the peacekeepers, for they are oft deprived of their back bacon, suffer much hardship, and must watch hockey on video tape delay. _________________ I have to be me.

You know, I have seen many boys and girls, teenagers if you will, wearing such baggy and long, flared out pants, that the hem drags on the ground. Only the tip of the toe peeks out. So if this is a fashion trend, then I think our good friend Terayon can use such pants from time to time to hide the heels and still wear them. I mean these pants cover everything!

Congratulations Highluc, congratulations Francis. Warmer weather is here, and you deserve good shoes for the enjoyment.

That's doubtful, yes Hoverfly, I agree. But don't the people of a culture always suffer when the politicians and military generals decide to go to war? I am sure that there are Palestinians and Israelis that may not wish harm on one another even if they are in disagreement. We only see the loud, angry ones on television. I am sure some on both sides say "Can't we figure it out?" but they are lost in the shouts and picket signs.

Anagram, wear stockings. It is still as tragic, but easier to change. And you can always save one as a spare for the next pair!
-
Make sure you seperate the Chinese people from the Chinese government in your talks, okay? I meet many nice chinese people every day.
-
Anagram, why be paranoid? Who is out to get you? Hey, I posted many pictures, and no one has followed me home and murdered me, so I think it is safe to post on this board, unless you think someone who may disapprove is a reader of our precious forums... It is you choice, but whatever you do choose, we'll live with it. What would a high heel fan want to do to someone who likes to wear heels, anyway? Buy that person more shoes? That can't be bad.
-
There's no one hard, fast and true answer in this. Everyone is giving a different opinion. I think I am seeing four inches as part of a consensus, however. So maybe four inches is a good average for the do almost anything heel? I certainly can do more in four inch heels than five right now, even if I do wear five inch stilettos for work every day. Four is the answer.

Why is it I have heard the body is anywhere from 70% to 95% water? Cannot people agree? And copper bracelets are used for arthritis and seem to work, and it is based on conductivity. However, electric shock doesn't work as well. Low voltage, please

Why oh why do so many ladies wear their jeans / trousers so long though, why would you want to hide beautiful shoes!
This is easy. Trousers and jeans are being sold in longer lengths, and obviously hemming a pant leg is a lost art in today's society. It's the designers trying to make each size good for any height, and the shorter women are not having the legs hammed up.
Good and bad rolled into one. It also becomes a fashion style and so many women believe thay have to wear things exactly as they are sold, from what I can see.

"No," she replied, "I just have to use the rest room in a very urgent way!"

One is enough? That doesn't apply here, as one is just the beginning. Until I feel more artistic, it will have to do. Good luck with getting back into the job world, Hoverfly. Two months away can put a bit of a strain on things.

The onlt old buses I have seen in Canada were converted into Fish and Chip wagons. Maybe I don't get out of the city much. Maybe people here are too into the new and don't care enough about the old. Blame it on oil executives with money to burn. That's what I do.

I type fast, Debbie, I type fast. And in all honest, I wish I didn't make the time to type as much, some things end up neglected because of it. In the end, I like to write. This is a curse as much as a blessing.

Fall? That's like, years away! It feels like it. I need some new sandals, something with heels higher than Payless could ever dream of. It will get warm and I might just have a chance to get my toes all polished up nice.
Why not show them off to the world?
