Am I the only woman in America (the world?) who doesn’t know what ‘cankles’ are?

He’d hate my legs…all muscle and a batch of scar tissue on one ankle that has given me a cankle that I can’t rid myself of…oh well. I’ll take being a tall athletic build over being a tall anorexic (note: no, not all tall skinny chicks are, just in my very own case, I’d have to starve myself to make myself that thin!) any day of the week. I’m learning more and more why my Mom refused to let us play with Barbies as children though.

Well, I’m a jeans and flats kind of gal, so I would never buy his stuff anyway. I do find it odd that someone who makes a product that is so expensive requires the wearer to be a certain way to wear them. One would think something that is supposedly so high-end would look great on anyone.

She kind of does.

LOL MLEinSLC. Agreed.

uhhh what she said and “agreed” is seconded. i have NO desire to wear ANY shoe that costs more than $60 or so bucks. I do the occasional splurge on knee-hi Doc’ Martens (punk rock or skinhead boots :) ) but those will be my style for the next 45 years (like they have been 1st 45yrs) and NOBODY will ever have the gall to whisper “ewwww, aren’t those LAST seasons $300 shoes?). Hey snobby airhead Is that your Wallstreet boyfriend over there? The one who frauded my mortgage with fake securities certificates and then illegally foreclosed me so he could get more gov’t $$$ as a boo-hoo band-aid for only having a few billion left in the kittie? Meanwhile, back at the ranch, Cat and her kids are homeless for the hot summer and getting physically and emotionally ill over being taken for their home of 12 years and most of their belongings since they could only fit so much in the storage room and the family truck-turned-cabin. Ah, yes, the American Dream……work comp insurance is a farce that makes billions of $$$$s for the insurance companies who refuse to share that money with the injured/sick workers because the new governor has campaign money to collect. poof….new law that cuts the already paltry compensation for those workers who actually get a human adjustor with empathy for the workers and pays the claim according to the law. lots of new ways to get out of paying the claim for the poor worker who will now learn that pain and suffering are status quo so get used to it. and learn to live without electricity or healthy food too. that insurance company has a job to do and that is to rape the insurance policy purchasers, neglect and humiliate the injured worker, and funnel billions of ill gotten cash back to the mortgage company who is one of the shells under this insurance conglomerate so they can hide it from the gov’t auditors who evaluate their need for TARP funds or whatever the name-du-jour is that they’ve collected from all of us thoughtful citizens who pay taxes in exchange for knowing that they’ll “be there” for us with insured compensation when we need help……..Provided that we can actually QUALIFY for these benefits BEFORE we’ve lost all of our retirement funds, house, vehicle, pets, LIFE in general while fighting for acceptance of our claims. I don’t really need to eat when there’s a Tiffany out there who needs a $500 pair of shoes for the governors ball tonight. You’re welcome, Tiffany……
