Deathly allergic to chocolate, but the rest sounds wonderful! How 'bout if I feed you the chocolate?

i am still laughing that someone would name their kid LAWYER though. what a sick joke that was. did they hear someone was named "tailor" and figure maybe if you named the kid by a profession, they would grow up to be that? like people named RICHARD?

[Gabz]

Much better color - but the heels aren't high enough!!!!

[SeaDragon]

Well the mod sure seemed displeased, especially with me.

[SCalGal]

I think this thread already went that direction! *L*

He doesn't look amused at that suggestion ;-)

3" are my minimum - I had a couple pairs that were 2.5 - and they absolutely killed me!!!

My exception are cowboy boots - I think that is only because of the build of the boot.

[SeaDragon]

Lots of "extra butter" asked for on that nite . . .

Eeewwwwww.......

Not a good visual.

[NeoCaveman]

Well the mod sure seemed displeased, especially with me.

With you? That is hard for me to believe.

[SeaDragon]

ROFLMAO!

Max, you are the best.

[Gabz]

You can keep those - no one could get me drunk enough to wear those!!!

[NeoCaveman]

Did you see this in the NY Post (third story down)

"The sheep you see in a pasture also see you - and won't forget you either. Scientists have found the woolly beasts can remember at least 50 different sheep and 10 humans for more than two years.

Professor Keith Kendrick, of the Babraham Institute in England, said, "Sheep, like us, recognize both friends and enemies through a remarkable memory for faces. They are attracted to each other's faces and may even be able to imagine the faces of absent friends."

[Gabz]

4 1/2 - good grief you have tiny feet!!!!

I wear a 9 or 9 1/2 - canal boats is what I call them - I guess that's why I like the heels so high - makes the boats look smaller!!!!

[SeaDragon]

Once they had recovered from the surgery, the rabbits attempted to have sex within 30 seconds of being put in a cage with a female.

Well that is a rabbit for you.............
