My Ex-wife is extremely envious of my nails. 😁 And I love it!

I only take my right heel off when I have stilettos on and going to drive for over 20 minutes. Otherwise I drive in my heels, even for a 8 - 9 hour trip. Most car sold in the US have a CVT - continuous variable transmission, which is a belt system.

Both my fingers and toes get complements from BOTH men and women. Sometimes a man will tell me he wishes he could color his nails but is too afraid to do so.

I have had 3 ankle reconstructions, hammer toe, 5 knee surgeries, hyper extended a achilles tendon (cast for 4 weeks), blew-out a peroneal tendon, tore a calf (3"by 5" tear). Many caused by men's shoes not fitting the shape of my feet. Only the peroneal (road pavement gave way) and calf (skiing) since I switched to only women's shoes. @mlroseplant I have a friend who has had both knees replaced. And he still hikes and I have meet people on the slopes who have had knee replacements. If you wife waits too long, then she could do too much damage that can't be fixed.

I can drive in my high stiletto heels, but it recks the outside of the heel. And it has put a hole in my rubber floor mat. So now I will take the right heel off while driving.

Many decades ago my daughter painted my toes red when my foot/angle was in a cast. Haven't worn red since. @CrushedVamp the doctors and the staff have seen hundreds of men in colored toes, it nothing new. I have had colored toes for 2 decades now, it's no big deal. Call your wife's bluff.

I get both manis and pedis every 4-ish weeks. I damage my fingernails beds, so I need to have acrylic to hold the fingernails together and then gel on top. I also into material science, so I have magnetic gel this time. Toes are neon green, or as I like to call it, fishing lure green. I also use polish on my fishing lure. The glow-in-the-dark polishes add something different to your lures.

Now let's expand this, how about Ginger from Gilligan's Island always in high heels. Real practical on dirt.

How about a lift in the floor?

I had a pair I called my 'refrigerator heels', I could see and clean the top of my refrigerator with them on.

When I started to wear knee high, I would hide them under my jeans. Now it skinny jeans and the knee highs on the outside. When you wear with confidence, embarrassment is not an option. And when you wear those boots with leather pants, your confidence is off the chart.

It's not a circle, it's a spiral.

Somewhere out there, there must be a clown missing their shoes.

Wear the 'over-the-top' heels with an 'over-the-top' top and they only notice the top.

I like my platforms, from the hidden 1/4 inch VS Stilettoes (vintage) to my 1.5 inch types, sometimes more. I think my Jessica Simpson suede stiletto knee-highs with platforms are elegant, as well as my JS knee-high in flax suede with chunky heels.

Those shoes you forget to send back end up on-line and @mlroseplant and others purchase them unused at a discount. The only subscriptions clubs I've been a member of was one in the 1960's for quarterly 'Life' books on science and other subjects. And a cotton diaper service when my kids were infants. Not even a Tea-of-the-month club? Or a Gin-of-the-month club?

Memberships and subscriptions are a way companies use to create a steady revenue stream. More and more companies are turning to this business model: dog food, beauty, clothing, prepare meals, and shoes, just to name a few markets.

Haven't done that yet, but I need to soon.

Well they finally came. Great heel, loved the color, BUT they were slightly too tight at the toe box. The problem is that they are pointed toe heels and my feet aren't. I could get my my foot in, but it was just too tight and since they are synthetic I didn't think it would stretch. I had got these for many reason. I love the color. I now have several in this color range. I want a boot that I could wear when it rained. I have no desire to damage my leather or suede heels, so being synthetic was a plus. I wanted a slouch style bootie, and I have been looking for some time. This also had a feature, a full length zipper, that I wanted. And the heel was decent as well. The search goes on .........................

I stepped on the edge of a textbook and they split apart. I just love this Steve Madden wedge, and the second pair as well. At least 6 years old. Real suede, that why it has lasted the hundreds of miles it has seen. This is now my run around town doing errands pair. The other pair just got out of the box last year But she ain't dead yet!!! Its a clean disengagement, so I plan to glue it back together and get several hundred more miles out of her.

It's funny that I posted the comment above on the 14th. This week these shoes went on life support.

I came across fuzzy logic in the 80's when I saw it in Automatic Braking Systems and anti lock brakes. In logic you have YES and NO in fuzzy logic you allow for more options like maybe.

Nice boots.

A watch dog group believes the current biggest thread to national security is AI. AI can be "trained" to deliver mis-information, and if a person have been trained to believe whatever AI spits out as truth, we are all doomed. I know AI has stolen copyrighted material from me.

I just hope they fit. I'll write more once I get them. One feature I really like is a full inside zipper.
