pro-tip: you are old if you are over 25 years of age

25 is the average age at which the body stops growing and begins to decay

it is a slow gentle descent after that

a gentle glide toward the insatiable and inevitable jaws of the Reaper himself

unless of course you text someone and absentmindedly guide your honda into the teeth of an oncoming semi

i cheat death daily, i drive normal in the city but when i drive in the country i become a loving maniac and regularly exceed the speed limit by 20-30 mph cuz i dont give a gently caress

Still got a few non-old months left then, hooray :toot:

woah, what did they say about it not existing? i still have't got anything but i understand if you want to wait a bit longer before sending a replacement. good luck with the insurance and thanks for being willing to send another. as for mini sizes of things, samples of fragrances/skincare stuff would be cool. don't really want/need anything else.

Toe Knee Hand, the PO was almost entirely unhelpful. Lots of shrugging. "Maybe the fact that it's not showing up in our systems means it made it to Canada!" yeah no. It would still show up normally, and also Canada Post's tracking would have info.

I'm going to go ahead and re-mail the package now. If it were $300 of stuff, I'd wait longer, but this is a small package. I'll get my money back for sure (unless the package does arrive there or here), as long as there's no proof of delivery, the insurance $ is mine. I just have to wait until I can claim it, which is a looooong time on purpose. I'd rather just get it sent and to you so I know my end of the deal is held up, tbh.

I've got boatloads of skincare stuff, prepare to be spoiled one small sample at a time. Or all of them at once, however you want to do it.

why do women wear high heels

poo poo looks bizarre and uncomfortable, i'd never put up with that poo poo

I wear them because A. I'm really loving short and B. I like traditionally feminine things, especially mildly retro (in the 30's and 40's sense) shoes. Pick speaks truth (as always), a well-built heel is surprisingly comfortable. My current favorite is a pair designed to look like regular skate shoes, but with a 3 inch wedge hidden inside. Hooray extra height. Plus I can wear them with all but the most dressy of outfits, and they're ridiculously comfy. I wear them all the time. They make me juuust tall enough that I'm not tripping over hems on longer dresses (like maxis).


Pick posted:

I have a pair of decommissioned eastern German parade boots and they are the best boots I have ever worn. Comfortable, sturdy, with a good sound.

My highest heels are very high heels with platforms, so the lift is about 6".

I haven't gotten the hang of super-platforms down. I have a really pretty pair of shoes with about 5' of lift, but I literally cannot walk in them. I also have a thing against chunky heels, and gravitating towards the thinnest heel possible probably doesn't make those tall shoes any easier to walk in.

Where did you get your German boots? I've wanted a pair of something similar for a long time, but I haven't wanted to pay the "we took a new shoe and made it look military" fee, and I'm not sure where to get the actual thing.

I also prefer bare feet in general, but sometimes shoes are needed.

also on the subject of heels, I like the boots I own that have heels but I find regular heels pretty uncomfortable. it is nice to get a boost in height though, since I feel kinda short usually

I have written some, the only ones that were published were published in murder mystery magazines, and that was for the money
oh wait I had a couple published in Indianapolis's alt rag, Nuvo, a while ago. They didn't pay me, but I didn't pay them either, so whooo

I still write but I'm kind of in a weird funk where I hate everything I've written and hate stuff as soon as I write it.

edit: I have a blog, that's about the only place where I don't hate whatever. My posts are about as ridiculously long as you'd expect

Unfortunately, yes. This is one of the many ways they know who you are before you even sign up. Most likely at least one of the people you've contacted via email willingly let facebook import contacts so from the very beginning of registration if it recognizes an email it will be like "Hey do you know these people?"

most of what i write is articles and notes and poo poo for my eventual dissertation, but i still care about my prose and i'll be making GBS threads out a passage all "there is no worse way to say what i am grinding out of my meatbox right now, is there?"

and then a day or two later you read some other dude's work and think "This sicks on rails, i know i could do better than that!"

there's no middle ground

I drive a 97 Cavalier. It's not ideal but it was very cheap and it has fluffy dice on the rear view mirror. Gets up some bullshit roads because I make it. I want to get a truck so I can cart round things like straw bales and loads of horseshit. I enjoy driving a lot.

WE ARE ALL ONE
Tonight I am making tandoori chicken (take 2, with real yogurt this time) and saffron rice. I am also making Sweet Bourbon Pulled Pork because we are having a "pot-luck" type food sale fundraiser at work tomorrow. Mine always sells first because I put liquor in everything. Cupcakes? Rum. Chili? Beer. Pork? Bourbon (or whiskey.) Brats? Beer.

Chiba, you are cute. Someone needs to draw a Chibi Chiba now.

Also I was thinking in the car (as usual) and I might write a YA novel about a girl who's dad gets a job on a new colonized planet and she has to fit in. Thoughts? Maybe I'll do NaNoWriMo this year.
