Barbara (L) and Jenna Bush, the daughters of U.S. President George W Bush, walk together from the Darnall Army Community Hospital in Fort Hood, Texas, April 11, 2004 after President Bush (news - web sites) and members of his family visited with soldiers wounded in Iraq (news - web sites). Bush awarded 10 purple hearts to troops recovering in the hospital, after attending an Easter Sunday Church service at a chapel within the army base in central Texas.

My thoughts from the very beginning, unless he's a designer of clothing or something. LOL!

I tried to slip you a note, but your white patent shoes were blinding me, so my handwriting suffered.

[Demetrius Slaughter]

I had a blue tie.

I do not look like lurch.

My wife is much better looking than Theresa.

I hope this helps.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with hose with sandals or otherwise open shoes.

I learned that from show room models in the New York haute couture industry of the 50s and 60s, including my own mother.

The blonde one looks okay, I guess - she should have worn white, close-toed heels tho, and maybe white hose. And lost the flowy thing she's wearing on top of her dress. Now, the jeans jacket with the dress - gaaaaaaa !! Ugly ! You don't have to be up on fashion to see that it looked absolutely wrong together. My 15 y/o daughter ( the fashion plate ) would have never walked out of the house looking like that, that's definately NOT " the style " these days. That twin looks like she just doesn't care.

[Demetrius Slaughter]

Why not?

Is the statement true or not?

[TomHarkinIsNotFromIowa]

Then there's Amy Carter.

In AZ it's still 115 degrees after Labor Day. We wear white whenever we like.

[Demetrius Slaughter]

there, their, they're.

I hope this helps.

From me: And as I said, I'm talking about ordinary, not sex criminals, males.

From you: sex addicts and men addicted to porn ... These men are for the most part untreatable.

I think there is the misconcept that is driving the difference in point of view. There is a difference between being addicted to sex or porn and being a sex criminal.

The blood of Jesus cleanses us (those who believe in Him as Savior and Lord) of ALL sin. Sexual sin. Sexual addictions. I do not know the percentage of men who come under the category of being moderately or wholly in the grip of sexual addictions of one type or another, but from the research I've seen and the people I've talked with, I would venture to say that it is beyond all you would imagine -- or want to know. I am sure there are a lot of guys reading this thread who agree but aren't going to say so on the forum.

Cure rates for men who have committed sex crimes are lousy, but as in every other type of sin, the blood of Jesus can overcome it. Men who have not crossed the line into criminal activity do have less of a struggle to overcome addictions.

you are playing a strange game

When a sinner repents and wants to be free of his (or her) sin, confession is the outward starting point. Would you have guys keep this burning inside of them, eating them up, when they want to confess their sins and be cleansed, and have power to overcome them? It's not a strange game. It's the gospel in action.

Do you know Jesus in this way, as Savior? As Lord? As the one who overcomes sin as He lives inside a repentant sinner? If you have never been grievously bound by some sin and had no one to turn to for help, you will not find this easy to understand, but Jesus didn't come to save the righteous, but sinners (and we are all sinners). He said it is not the well who need a physician, but the sick. He got into the troughs, the pits of the worst of humanity in order to save us. If we say we are without sin, we lie. Men who know they have a problem with this, and confess it, touch God's heart and He will move heaven and earth to help them get free.

It's fashion, woman. We're not talking about support hose.


When I was at the Inauguration, I noticed a few women on the Metro wearing dress shoes with no hose. As there was six inches of snow on the ground, they looked ridiculous.

[Howlin]

True, but since it is tied around her waist, it does not hang below her waist.

You're not quite the fashion maven you're making yourself out to be. That sweater is MADE to TIE at the WAIST.

It is, however, just about the ugliest sweater I have ever seen.

Doesn't much matter; they don't sell that one at Wal-Mart.

[Xenalyte]

And they were wrong as well. If you are wearing pumps, you must wear hose. That also is non-negotiable. (I should state for the record that I do not own any white shoes.)

[Howlin]

But do you WANT to wear white shoes (other than tennis shoes)????????????? :-)

[Demetrius Slaughter]

"I don't think he realizes that twenty-one year old daughters wear what they please."

I understand it very well. Of course if one raises one's daughters correctly, it would please one's daughters to wear clothing that is fashionable and appropriate for the occasion.

One must start to teach one's children right from wrong long before they turn 21 or they will be a lost cause as are the many girls one sees out on the street and in the airports covered with tattoos and piercing, wearing low slung pants and midriff barring skimpy tops.

Luckily, Jenna and Barbara are not those sort of girls and I am quite happy that they are not.

I hope this tip helps.

Me either.

I still wish they had worn more tasteful outfits.

Okey dokey, Mr. Blackwell. You know, I thought you were a woman when I first read your posts, because it's typically women who presume to dress everyone according to their own tastes and standards, and make a big damn deal about it.

Quite odd that a man would spend so much time on this topic.

[Howlin]

What the hell are you talking about? I'm talking about expensive STRAP sandals..........they needed to wear hose with those.

I don't know what part of the country you live in, but unless you're in Hollywood, you wear ultra sheer hoses with Nordstrom shoes!

Did that stoner Albert Gore Jr. even wake up yesterday?
