1. With all due respect, sundog . . .
that's not a lot different than my own straight, poor woman days.

You look like a guy who could get by with bad shoes. That's a gift, ya know.

Subject: Yeah. I know.
Message:
There's a pair of shoes out there that I've wanted for 20 years, and I owned them once many years ago for about six months. But somehow, my ex-husband got them in the divorce. They're now my Holy Grail.

Don't hate me for this, but:

25. I need new shoes, too.
I don't understand women with a billion pairs of shoes. I have four. No sneakers. I have worn one pair to *death*. I'm seriously considering a service for them ala Rudy's goldfish in The Cosby Show.

But alas. I still need to wear them! :cry:

31. Cheer up, Sundog..September is the best time for.....



The Sale

Imagine a straight man saying, "Oh. My. God. Three hundred dollar designer shoes for sixty bucks. I've died and gone to heaven!" Or buying a pair of slacks, wearing them for a night, then -- gasp! -- returning them! Well, we're not in Kansas anymore, Dorothy. Get used to it. In the metrosexual universe, shopping is at least as cool as golf. 50% markdown? That's justice. Pump your fist and say, Oh, yeah.

Meaning: Serendipity, cunning, a treasure found.

Reversed: Pleasure in details

Sorry - just got something caught in the throat - just ignore me (you usually do afterall).

Your comments above notwithstanding - I do have to bow to your far greater superiority in terms of sympathy whoring, I'm no good at it at all - whereas you're a total master (or should that be mistress?). And all in all, it still has to be said :loveya: :hug: :loveya: :hug: :loveya: :hug: :loveya: :hug: :loveya: :hug: :loveya: :hug: :loveya: :hug: :loveya: :hug: :loveya: :hug: :loveya: :hug: :loveya: :hug:
