Opinions are like rear ends, everyone has one......

True, SF and of course I am speaking from thousands of miles away and not from any position if knowing what things are like living in the US. In many ways it is nice to see grassroots voters give the establishment a poke in the eye as they have done today. Their very real concerns were ignored en masse and for far too long, and so it must be immensely warming to see the elites and politicians get their parades rained on and their assumptions shattered for once.

Your business trips sound very nice, I must say. I'm envious. I seldom get any me time on mine.

I have just stepped off the plane from Australia and see that the world has taken a very dark turn while I was sleeping, or trying to sleep, at 39,000 feet. I am staggered to see that Donald Trump is to be the next US President. I keep reading and rereading the news thinking I must have missed something. This has to be the most startling bit of politics farce since Caligula 'elected' his horse Incitatus to the Roman senate. At least the ancient Romans got the whole horse; the Americans got only the back end...

But then again, I live thousands of miles away and am an outsider looking in...

Who's running, again? I forget...

Yes, they are bright. I had no trouble picking them out from across the street from my hotel there. Really couldn't miss them in the display window

TBG gives good advice. I think I read in one of your posts you can stand in bare feet for only about 20 minutes before your foot and calf muscles tend to go funny. You should probably at least do a few minutes of gentle stretching. Strong and flexible feet and ankles are a really good thing no matter what style of footwear you like.

My sympathies on your back troubles. I know exactly how easy it is to make a simple awkward motion and end up in a lot of pain.

I followed the Series, living in the UK and being in Australia during the games. I spent my childhood in the US and the Cubs were my team. Fifty years later I can still name the infield at the time - Banks at first, Beckert at second, Kessenger at shortstop, Santo at third and Randly Hundley the catcher.

Hard to believe the Cubs actually won it!

I think it is nice that there is Girls' forum, strictly for the girls. I'm all for it. HHP is an extremely male oriented site so it is nice for the female voices to be given a platform that won't be overwhelmed.  By the same token I do not feel that this same exclusivity needs to be extended to the guys forum. Nor is there any wording anywhere suggesting it should be, or is. So why shouldn't Meganiwish post here? 

HeelsWearer's contributions are obviously welcomed and appreciated, right across the board, so more power to your elbow, HeelsWearer. Post away!

You get around a lot!

So do I, I suppose. I'm in Mackay this evening

I thought it was Pro Bono, the crusading lawyer...
