Reasonable

a person only has two feet.!. 1 Right shoe and one for the left foot. That's it.!. And that's only if you can't for some reason just go with bare feet. :^0
If God meant us to need shoes, we'd be horses. ;\ -d

omg, u made me laugh hysterically, iu wont get an hell from me, even tho i am a woman cuz i am a guilty party. i collect all kinds of stuff and my husband his silly wires and odds and ends, you hit the nail right on the bud with your comments and criticisms. all so very true, i used to have a small back pack full of notes from high school. i lost it, and OMG i have a ton of stuff my kids did in school, way more than my mom kept. my mom has always called me a pack rat, a have gotten better over the years, at one point growing up i had like 3 or 4 watches, then at one point i had like 4 or 5 purses and yes they were out of style but i kept em. i guess maybe i think subconsciencely i will someday have the need to use them again, lol. anyways i wont go on but i really wanted to say thanx for the laugh, i needed it!

Women for some reason best known to themselves and this is something that you never want to look into enjoy mangling their feet by squashing them into shoes several sizes too small/tall or otherwise bad for the health of the women in question.

They then after wrecking their feet, ankles, knees and God only knows what else then proceed to see Foot Doctors to be cured of the wreckage that they have done to their anatomy. When the Foot Doctor has cured the problems that have been caused by ill fitting shoes that looked so nice in the shop display they then proceed to start the cycle all over again and squash their mangled feet into badly fitting shoes that totally wrecks their posture in the name of wearing nice looking shoes. After they have worn them the one time and realised just haw poorly they fit and how bad for them they are they put them away never to be worn again and then move onto the next equally useless shoes to do it all over again.

They have to store them as a constant reminder of just how bad they where to wear and the damage that they did.

What I love is the way that Quacks tell you just how Bad smokes are for you but will never open their mouths about womens shoes and the troubles caused by these horrible things. They prefer to gather in money repairing the damage done by there instruments of torture and are grinning all the way to the Bank.

What makes this entire situation worse is that the women concerned like to do this to themselves and don't see a problem with their actions.

Foot Doctors are like Head Doctors (Shrinks) Nobody is "cured" as long as they keep getting paid. :^0
And the Shoe industry is then like the Oil industry.
Geeeeze, we just can't win. :( -d

Is the Opium for the Masses of females around the world who have been brainwashed into believing that long legs are sexy when actually every model that they see pictures of has been [b]Computer Enhanced[/b] to suit the editors idea of Beauty. The days of Air Brushing have receded into the Dim distant past as the only way to improve the looks of the women used to model these things.

Many years ago when I fixed Sewing Machines I realised that the ideal Model for the fashion industry was a Prepubescent flat chested 12 year old female who could wear anything that didn't require any designing to fit properly. The days when cloths where made properly have long since passed and the same applies to shoes they are poorly made and are made to look good rather than be wearable so it's a classic case of Looks out weight the usability of the shoes.

The Foot Doctors understand this and don't do anything to alter the idea in the minds of their patients as if they succeeded they would be out of business.

You are a very wise man. ;-)

Has told me that I'm not allowed to give any advice on fixing Sewing Machines as I've been having nightmares ever since posting the above and preventing her getting her [b]Beauty Sleep![/b] :D

As if Attila the Hun ever had any Beauty Sleep but I;m constantly waking up in a sweat and shaking in fear so I'll go along with her suggestion. I never minded actually fixing the machines but dealing with the woe-men that owned them nearly drove me crazy! The only thing that made it part way bearable was all the industrial machines that I was involved with and the contacts that I made to get things that I needed for myself. Like one sail maker made all the sails for my yacht at less than the cost of the materials involved because I constantly did him favours and looked after him quite well. But those sails being all Kevlar & Mylar are another thing that [b]SWMBO[/b] complains about taking up space at home as they are way to expensive to leave on the Ketch when it's not being used. Even though they shrink down to quite small units things like the Kites and Yankee are still in very big bags as they are both well over 1,500 square feet of surface area and I have them in several different weights for different weather conditions. :^0

What's a Spare Room For if you can not fill it up with sails? :(

Col ]:)

he thinks every guy should own one. He seldom leaves home without his. :^0

[b]Dawg[/b] ]:)

But I never try to make any sense of their logic as it drives me nuts and I don't like the headaches that it causes. :p

I just fess up to everything that's wrong and leave [b]SWMBO[/b] without a leg to stand on it drives her crazy but also shuts her up very quickly. :D

Col ]:)

You often leave home without yours.

Don't you find that a tad draughty?

No those Sexy Eyes will not save you thins time you know perfectly well what I was saying and deliberately misconstrued it so you are in for a good spanking till you stop enjoying yourself so much.

[b]Now Assume The Position![/b] :^0

I assume that would be "Dawg-y style" ??

OMG, is this prove enough :^0 :)

But you are due for a spanking and you are not going to get away without one. :p

Is really all that maintains peace in this house.

He doesn't dare touch mine and I fix his when he breaks something. He's a programmer/application architect and doesn't "get" hardware. His Mom loves me dearly because I give her cleaner, faster, more functional ways to get things done.

He can fill an 80GB iPod and wonders if he can get a bigger one. He lost all the vinyl in his divorce but has replaced it all and more with CDs. And he collects avidly.

There are things that he knows better than to discuss with me. MY taste in music, for instance.

Headphones are a good thing but I got him a BOSE sound dock for Valentines Day so that he can listen to his music while I am beating up computers and he is making supper. Office is on the second floor, kitchen/living room on the first.

There are ways to rip that cassette music to CD. Go find a few of them and add a task to the "Honey Do" list.

Hal really has it right. I've used that same philosophy on HWMBO. Men and women will never understand each other, so you might as well keep the peace.

Who owns whom is another story. Hal doesn't strike me as the type to have that kind of philosophy. It actually sounds more like something you would think. ;\

AV

What is this proof of anyway? ?:|

If I [i]owned[/i] one, I wouldn't have the problems I've had with the [i]ones[/i] I no longer have.

[b]Dawg[/b] ]:)

I think if you owned one, you would feel in control and that would make you feel better about the ones you don't own.

AV

Rule one, let her think she is getting her way.

Rule two, let her have her way.

It's more self_for_filling.

Will this do the trick :D ;) in proving or ... the opposed ?:|

One Saturday afternoon, I was sitting in my lawn chair, drinking beer and watching my wife mow the lawn.

The neighbor lady from across the street was so outraged that she came over and shouted at me, "You should be hung."

I took a drink from my can of Budweiser, wiped the cold foam from my lips, lifted my darkened Ray ban Sunglasses and stared directly at the neighbor.

And then calmly replied, "I am, that's why she cuts the grass." B-)

Now you just have to work on your "softer" side. ;-)

[b][i]"It's gotta be hard to be good" [/b][/i] ;) :^0

[b]Dawg[/b] ]:)

Though I'm not sure if you're for or against my philosophy. There truly is no way to force anyone to do anything they don't want to in relationships, so you need to change your approach to achieve the end result. :D

Approximately 20 percent each of the following:

1960s and 1970s Rock and Roll (my generation), including about 100 each Beatles and Elvis (Elvis 50s, 60s and 70s). My most valuable (that I'm sure of) is a 1963 Beatles promotional album on the ATCO label in NM condition of [i]Ain't She Sweet[/i]. However, depending on the buyer, my VeeJay label of [i]Introducing the Beatles[/i] in Stereo might bring a higher price (not one of the many counterfeits, but the real deal -- maybe my most valuable).

1950s and 1980s Rock and Roll, 10 percent each (including a sealed pressing of the original Chubby Checker "Twist" album).

1930s and 1940s Big Band Jazz. This is really some GREAT music. I have the usual Glenn Miller, Artie Shaw, Glenn Grey, Benny Goodman, and others, both popular names and lesser known. Also some other jazz from the 20s, 30s and 40s era, Fats Waller and others. There are also a good number of 10" LPs in this category.

Movie and stage sound tracks. There's some great music in this category.

Country, particularly 1950s and 1960s "classic country", a bit of 1970s and 1980s country, some classical, some "Pop" music, including Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, Julie London (man, was she hot! She could cry me a river any day!), et al.

Throw in some miscellaneous stuff here and there, such as comedy (Bob Newhart, Smothers Brothers, et al), and add about ~500 78 RPM. I have a few 45s, but not too many. I've sold most of the 45s on ebay, keeping only some unique sets.

There ya' go.

How're you doing? :^0

[b]Dawg[/b] ]:)

do that yourself ?:|
Or has the tool some trick to upsteam things before the real cooking :8} :0

Over here a Olympic Gold Medal winning Kick Boxing Athlete had her house broken into and robbed. As her Gold Medals where locked away in a safe place all that they managed to steal where her Vibrators and some underwear.

She went on TV asking for the return of the Vibrators with the explanation that they where used on muscles after a hard training exercise. What's even better is that she managed to keep a straight face while telling everyone just how important these where to her. The man interviewing her wasn't about to disagree as he had watched her kick the living daylights out of her opponent for the Gold Medal so he just went along with the story. :D

You mean do that manually?

My bookmarks come from 10 years and 5 computers, and I gave up looking for folders and moving links around years ago. Anyway most links belong in more than one folder.

It sounds like a database problem - and solutions were invented 40 years ago.

So where is there software which can index and sort my bookmarks, keeping them on my own machine but also on the web in case I want to get them form another system.

You mean I have to do this manually? In 2007?
