msbelle, I'm really sorry about your friend.
Gizmo, good kitty!
sumi, glad you're enjoying the library!
I still can't convince myself to spend a lot of money on anything. Like with boots. Even if they last 10 years, won't I be tired of them before then?
msbelle, I'm so sorry about your friend.
Sheryl, I just found this site for my mom, who needs extra extra wide shoes: www.healthyfeetstore.com.
Sam Vimes is very wise.
It's so true! My problem is never having the "$50" to spend.
But when I found that full-length Talbot's raincoat in my size while thrifting, I bought it. For $25, that *will* last me forever.
That is the best, Amy.
Sheryl, what about Zappos?
But the thing was that good boots lasted for years and years.
I also feel like these expensive boots I have haven't lasted long enough! But they were amazing for a while. And are still fine in dry weather.
The problem with Zappos is that I don't have the time to get to the post office to send back stuff that doesn't fit.
And juliana beats me to the Vimes. Well done!
(Hi, folks. I'm here and reading, just lacking time/energy to post.)
Stoooopid foot. I get it hurting when I've been doing a bunch of walking, but today I've been working, crafting, and writing a paper. Very little actual walking around. And yet. Stooooopid foot.
I'm so sorry msbelle
I'm sorry, msbelle.
RE: Gizmo finding hidey holes... It took me about a week to figure out that Rosie and Gilda were hiding inside a swivel rocker when I first got them. They outgrew some of the hiding spots, but they also gradually realized that indoor life meant they didn't *have* to hide really well to nap.
sumi, that's wonderful that you are enjoying the new job!
I just got a FB event notice from my employer that made me gasp in delight when I saw that the event features Gina Torres! Then I noticed that the event is off-site. Damnit!
My cat's favorite hidey hole is often his carrier, which I leave in a corner of the living room. He also hates his collar. So when we went to the vet this week I picked up his collar, walked toward him with intent, and Leifur ran right into his carrier. I closed it and there we were—ready for the vet with minimal fuss and drama.
Last night I dreamed that they were making a Buffy-Teen Wolf mashup, with the original teen characters playing adult versions of themselves. Adult Buffy, Willow, and Xander kept face-palming as they watched the new teens do the same stupid stuff they'd done, only this time with cell phones.
