Cali

I have only worn women's shoes for 14+ years and high heels for 10+. It's about fit for me. My ankle issues have disappeared since switching. I have gotten over the sound of my heels. In fact, I will sometimes walk harder to make more noise. You got to push the envelope! And I am now known statewide for my heels.

I just ordered these Freebird Detroit in Red Croc. I had hoped to get a size 11, BUT I waited too long, so hopefully a size 10 works. A 40% off Mother's Day sale was my incentive, $275 otherwise.

I need to see an average of 6 stilettos a day for a recession. But we are on the way.

Several (4) more tall stilettos at a meeting today, one with spikes. Only 30 people at the meeting. Been seeing at least 2 tall stilettos every day this week.

I have been seeing more and more heels at work. Mostly 3+inch block heels, but heels none the less.

Women with that size of a foot are most likely tall already and wouldn't want to be taller.

I just returned from our spring state-wide convention in a swanky hotel in southern California. One night, last time we where down here, there was a special Bogadi park zone outside that hotel where the convention was held. And there were several cars parked in it. This Friday I saw 50 to 60 4" stilettoes, at least 30 4" block heels, many many tall wedges. Late teens to old ladies. High heels are not dead in this area. Many more high heels at the convention than in past years. More in Cali World later.

The only comment like that was while I was putting my booties on after going through airport screening. I respond by saying," faster to put my shoes back on" as I zipped both booties on while he was still getting his first shoe on.

I got my first readers about that age. I get a peripheral vision test every 6 months and optic nerve picture every year.

Surly you have seen yourself in sun glasses.

Glaucoma is a global term that refers to eye pressure only. There are many different types of glaucoma. I have the type of glaucoma where my lens covers the drain. It was diagnosis about 30 years ago. I have had 50 laser holes drilled in each eye, and several other things. The last thing they did was shot (laser) certain spots in one eye, and when your body goes to fix it, it also fixes the other eye. Next time they will laser the other eye. i have a pterygium on each eye. One started to grow over my cornea so they took it off by peeling off a layer of the surface of the eye and replace it with lab grown tissue. What a _____ operation. (I'll fill that in 2+ weeks.) And @Shyheels, welcome to the 'club'.

When I was younger and my jeans started to tear, my mother would put a patch in them. When they go a big tear, they became shorts. Just wore my Skyscraper jeans for the first time last week. Got to wear them with high high heels.

White shorts and a Hawaiian shirt while sipping a tropical drink.

Having worn my skinny jeans with my JS knee yesterday and skyscraper jeans with mules today, yes, we should have the same freedom; and I'm taking it.

I will take a pair of running shoes on days that I wear a new pair. I start by buying heels that don't hurt to wear them. Then I will wear heels for 16 or 18+ hours without a backup plan. But you got to start with heels that don't fit correctly.

I just googled "multi colored pumps" and there is a few that come close, from $100 to $1000. Good luck. The ones you see in that picture are at least 5 years old ( life time in woman's shoes).

I don't wear my stilettos enough, but I've hooked my stilettos on a stool's crossbar many times.

At a meeting today, two 4 inch stilettos, two 4 inch block heels, one kitten stiletto, two 2 inch block heels, five tennis shoes.

No problem, all you need are externally mounted independently operated (remote controlled, ideally AI driven) bow and stern thrusters.

(sorry) We call those vehicles land yachts. To large to maneuver the mountain roads around here (with speed). But if he learns how to parallel park in that, then everything else will be easy.

I drink expresso roasted bean. My current beans are a 3 - 3 - 2 mixture of Peruvian Ore Verde, Sumatra Dark, and Sweet Italian. No machine, no pods. Real thick hearty pour-over coffee.

There is coffee (starbucks) and GOOD deep dark roasted flavorful coffee. I've been an author and editor for 35 years. One of many unique positions I have held over the years. Boat gardens, boat puppies, swans, flowers along the sides of the canal, ... I could go on and on ... every year a new Calendar

How about a Long Boat Calendar or a coffee table book of pictures Long Boats. (I guess your would call it a 'tea' table book.) Next year just the canals, smooth water, rough water, clouds reflected, .... then birds along the canals, then ...

I just completed my quick 1.5-day trip. And @pebblesf, the airline was SWA. I wore my Jessica Simpson black faux suede with block heels both ways. Stilettos would have been a nightmare of the airport floors. First with jeans and returned in dark red cords. I was one of the very few in colors other than white, black, blue, grey, and beige. Also, I had the highest heels everywhere. I saw some SWA flight attendants in short (2 inch) heels, and a Spirit FA also on short heels at the hotel I stayed at. Almost all the CLEAR and TSA agents complimented me on my knee-high boots before saying anything else. The guy at the car rental also complimented me on the ‘fierce’ boots before I got to his station. At least 20 other travelers also complimented me on the boots. Many, many double takes. Good quick trip. Another trip in a month. Again boots

I don't want to hijack @mlroseplant threat. What do people notice? Several weeks ago, I wore my 9 West suede knee high - yellowish with a camel colored cords, light brown turtleneck and a leopard sherpa. Only thing people remember was the leopard sherpa. Today I wore the same knee highs and the same style cords BUT in dark blue, a light purple turtleneck and a hoodie. All anyone noticed was my heels. At least 15 compliments, include several men.
