My sister has that position now with my mother in assisted liviing now and over100 y.o. I've learner how mean my mother could be towards her daughter. One granddaughter wont visit her again. My ex-wife was that way, I was never right, if I did A she would complain why I didn't do B, if I did B, she would complain why I didn't do A, if I did A and B, I was still wrong. The key word here is Ex.

One time many decades ago, 70 students needed to choice between somebody in a suit and tie, and me in a t-shirt and shorts. Those that picked the suit later told me they made a mistake. It's what's in your head, not what clothes (shoes) you have on. I've seen many many men try to hide in a suit. I wear suits for funerals and contract negotiations.

My podiatrist advise me to wear at least 2.5 inch heels to deal with my extreme high arches. I go to a nail salon where it is more of a coop, where each nail tech has their own clients and manicure stations, but share space and pedicure stations. Very, very hard to get in for none-regulars. And I get great leg and foot massage, too. I wear open toes throught the year. Not much this month. I too let my nail tech do dealers choice, bt many times I have a design in my head when I come in. After the pedicure I get my manicure. I have damaged figernails so I get acrylic nails with gel color. Ran errands this morning, 4 random compliments on them. Men can get colored fingernails. PS. My podriatrst loves my nail color.

3.8 quake is mild at best, most here will not even notice that. I've been throught several 6+ and two 7+ quakes, and many many 4's and 5's. I knew about the termites when I purchase it. When I bought it, it had no working windows either. It a tear-me-down, but it has triple in price in about 10 years.

I currently have a under 1000 sq.ft. house that is held together by termites holding hands. BUT it's 4 blocks from the ocean. Since this is earthquake country, building codes are very important. If you ever saw a parking lot roll during an earthquake you would understand.

I have had both big toes operated on by podiatrists to fix my ingrown toenails. I’m missing my trapezium bone (destroyed 15+ years ago) so it is hard to do my own toenails. As a result, I have been getting pedicures ever since. After a few years, I got over ‘No Color” FEAR and now get whatever color I feel like (but no reds or pinks).I have had both big toes operated on by podiatrists to fix my ingrown toenails.

This is something you have to get over. When you go to a shoe store and try on heels you have no choice.

Here, if the "basement" is under 7 feet it does not count in the over all square footage of the house and does not influence the home owner's tax. (BTW mine tax is over 9k a year). In the last house I built, we hat a 300 sq. ft. basement with access via the garage. In the house I am designing now, I will have a much larger basement, but we have a high water table here, so I will also have to design an automatic French drain system.

I think we are all influencers (I know I have influence several women to wear heels). I just wish I got paid for being that influencer. (Hear that Jessica Simpson)

I wasn't jealous because they were PUMPS and my feet aren't pump friendly. Also, I have enough heels that there are some that rarely see daylight.

Only 200? My friend showed me pictures of her anut's high heel shoe collection, 600 to 800 pairs, mostly pumps. Asked me if I was jealous.

Only 200?

I have many leggings that are for specific purposes. My therma-compressions are my skiing base layer. My fleece are so soft and make a great 'pajama' bottom or layed under sweatpants to work my garden in the winter. And thin ones for a cool summer evening. ....

You don't have to wear skirts to wear leggings. All you need is cold legs.

I thought I would start a blog of some of my daily events. So I start with today's events. Today I decided to go shopping BEFORE work. I also plan on wearing my new Steven Madden Manner. Found out real fast that driving in the Manners was impossible, so I took a pair to drive in. My destination was a large mall. I parked my car and put on the Manners. So comfortable. Walked in through a store and paid off my minor credit card bill. The woman who took my money went wild over my fingernails. Called another woman over to see them and asked alot of questions. Then when I walked away they saw my heels and made positive comments about them. Next stop was the Steve Madden store. Store was empty, but the saleswoman greeted by "Haven't seen you for a while, what can I get for you." I told here I wanted to get another Manner, in the tan color, but I needed to pay with my Steve Madden gift card. She did a great job and I got all the special added discounts (and MORE). This is where shopping in person really pays off. She went out of her way to get me an unreal low price. While I was there I took the opportunity to try on the Deanna. My feet are not meant for pumps. A few doors down was the Aldo store. I love their gel pads, wear them almost all my heels. So I went in and got another 5 pairs of pads. I think I sold some pads to the woman behind the counter. She loved my heels and asked me to teach her how to walk in heels. I walked back to my car and off to work. Overall today I had at least 15 people (including 3 guys) tell me they liked, loved, or WOW for those Manners. That's the most reaction I have ever gotten with a pair of heels and I wear heels every day. Also had at least a dozen women ask me about my nails, who and where did I get them done.
