Thanks Gabz for understanding!
Birkenstocks are waaaay overpriced shoes and sandals that overpaid, ivory tower dwellers wear to walk about in superiority.
Birkenstock is a specialty store where they display the shoes but don't display the prices on them. You have to get the price list from the counter. Be still my heart! I just can't justify $100 plus for a pair of Dr. Scholl looking sandals. I love suede, sort of Earth shoe looking clogs (I'm of that vintage) but I refuse to pay $200 plus for them.
I must say, a lot of the shoes are kind of cute, but are out of my price range now that my hyphenated self quit my DISRECTFUL TO MY HUSBAND hyphenated name career.
Sorry for the caps. Just copying another FReeper's style - heh-heh.
Merry Christmas Gabz!
My apologies for you having to go through the explanation about Birkenstocks - I forgot the (/sarcasm) line at the end.
My husband doesn't find it disrespectful that my legal name is hyphenated, he actually thinks it's hilariously funny because he knows it was unintentional.
It took a lot of people a long time to get used to using my married name because they had known me for so long under my maiden name (after I got out of radio I became a lobbyist, same people different relationships).
My husband doesn't give a rat's behind what I am called - he knows I'm going home with him every night. My control-freak, abusive ex-husband was the opposite.
Merry Christmas, mplsconservative
