The only thing not completely depressing about the stabbing robbery murder next neighborhood down from me is the random neighbor who (not knowing the victim,) after calling for help, cradled the man and held his hand as he died. In a way, I think it describes my poor city. It's got so much shit, and so much good, literally on top of each other geographically.

It's the general advice to order a half-size up than you normally wear with Fluevogs, yes? Because I desperately want to buy these: [link]

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
No swords.
What if I find one in some water? That'd be okay, right? No hijinks could possibly come from that.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords? No problem.

Oh Sara, I'm so terribly sorry.

Shrift, can't help you there. All mine are 10s, and honestly, they could be 9.5s, but I don't know if that is typical (yes, apparently I lost weight in my feet.) They tend to be generous in the toebox, from my experience (which is why I love them so) so if you've got skinny balls, I'd go with regular sizing even if the rec is to do a size up.
eta: Trudy, the murder? Eh, it doesn't hit me personally, but it is sad for the victim and the guy who helped him. It's my city, I'm used to this sort of shit (hello, car behind crimetape for a driveby!,) and yet I love it still for the goodness that abounds. Cause there is a lot of it. Just not in everyone.

I finally looked at the Fluevog heels I have, and I ordered a 7 1/2 when I normally take a 7. At the moment I'm trying to decide between the red+taupe+purple buttons in a 7, and the black & white in a 7 1/2.

Half size up, you can always do insoles and heel grips if they prove a smidge to big.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Sometimes I think you have to have the shit to really know how good the good is. Not that I wouldn't trade, but, ok I don't know what my point was.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm glad you were able to help the old woman out, Burrell. She seemed a little confused/confusing as to what her problem was and how you could help. Glad it worked out.
