When I did travel for work I also would quite often eat at the bar or at least in the lounge. I have bad hearing, so I don't often interact with strangers, as I have a very difficult time trying to hear, especially in a crowded place. That makes conversation difficult. And I tend to be a rather shy person as well.

Yes - unfortunately, beating it is not really an otion. Extending my time is about all I have left. Hoping for a few years still.

Wow, HinH, your last two posts have been very moving. I lost my Dad when I was 15 and never really knew him as an adult, which is something I missed terribly. All too often it seems that step children live in conflict with step parents. It is great to read your posts and see the respect and love you felt for him. God bless.....

Nine weeks - ugh. Hotels are fun for vacations - not so much as living quarters!

True Bears fans never get over stuff like that....lol.

Nice look. Love the classic pumps! How did your feet feel afterwards? I think I might be done with heeling, as the medications I take to retard my cancer have caused me to have what feel like marbles in the balls of my feet. Walking in heels for more than a couple minutes is painful. Too bad, as I was really feeling comfortable in my heels when in public. Not enough to go without long jeans to cover the heels, but not worrying much about being in heels in public.

Unique and nice way to honor your step-dad.

I do agree, same old stuff with gay guys acting silly and showing off for the attention. But their comments at the end were refreshing - that it's just a heel on a shoe and the shoe does not have a gender. My guess is, however, not everyone will make it to the end.

Of course if the Bears had a placekicker worth his salt, the Eagles would not have been playing. That said, I was rooting for them to upset the Saints. And after watching the Rams and Cowboys, I think the Bears would have had a good shot at beating them again had they won. Not sure if they could have handled the Saints though!

Nice Henri. Hope the same lady is still around,

Boy, that's an understatement! lol. There were a couple nice shoes though.

Looks nice

Agreed, Steve, both on the heel height issue and the fact that Jeff looks good in those pumps!

What is the noise level on those Jeff? I looked at those a couple times but wasn't sure about the fit, and the heels looked hard which I would assume then is rather loud.

Took some courage to wear that at a work related party! Glad you decided to give it a go. Looks like you had fun!
