I have a ridiculous number of shoes and boots, and they last forever because I never wear one pair very often.
The great thing with shoes is even if I get fat or if I lose weight, they always fit. So no matter the body issues, MAH SHOES still LUV MEH!
I prefer to wear flip flops whenever possible. I like my feet to breathe.

House Lawmakers Vote to End Gun Restrictions on College Campuses, with Strings Attached
By: KARK 4 News
Updated: February 15, 2013
Lawmakers in the house on Friday voted to end restricting guns on college campuses, but not without some strings attached.
The bill allows faculty and staff with conceal carry permits to bring their guns into the classroom, but it also allows public and private universities to "opt-out" by holding a vote every year.
That made it easier to pass, but some still weren't happy with the annual vote requirement.
"I know for a lot of reasons many of you can not or do not feel comfortable with a 'no' vote on any sort of gun legislation," Rep. David Whitaker (D) Fayetteville said. "So what I'll ask you to do on this bad little law is take a walk on this one. Get a cup of coffee, start your weekend early."
Rep. John Burris (R) of Harrison said, "I would encourage you to support the bill and I would encourage you to vote, because as Representative Leding pointed out, we're elected to come here and make decisions."
And 81 representatives made that decision.
With 70 'yes' votes, guns on college campuses moves to the senate next week.

Jose Luis Zelaya shed tears of joy Friday morning.
"It's just insane," the graduate student at Texas A&M University said. "I've been working on this for six years. It is just overwhelming."
Zelaya was electrified by news that the Obama administration will stop deporting illegal immigrants who entered the United States as children if they meet certain requirements.
Zelaya came to the United States illegally from Honduras at age 14 to find his mother, who was already in the country, he said.
Without the change announced Friday, he couldn't get a job to help pay for school; Zelaya, 25, is pursuing a master's degree in education with hopes of earning a doctorate and teaching middle school. He also wouldn't be able to consider job offers that presented themselves afterward. The uncertainty over what loomed after graduation spooked him.
"Now, maybe I will be able to work without being afraid that someone may deport me," he said. "There is no fear anymore."
News of the change raced across the country, buoying the spirits of immigrants and immigrant advocates who have campaigned for such a change for more than 10 years.
"I'm definitely speechless," said Pedro Ramirez, a recent graduate of Fresno State University who was student body president when he admitted that he was in the country illegally.
"It gives us a chance to show the American people that we're not here to use your tax dollars; we're not here to take your jobs; we're here to contribute," he said.
Not everyone viewed the change with such enthusiasm.

OKLAHOMA CITY Royal Ivey has been granted a second lease on his season. And all it took was strep throat.
Ivey, who of late has reclaimed his backup point guard duties for the 76ers, has returned to coach Doug Collins rotation on this season-long, eight-game roadtrip. Prior to that, the ninth-year man had not played in 13 of 16 games.
I thought it was going to be a couple days and it ended up being a couple weeks of not having any energy and feeling weak all the time, Ivey said Friday, before the Sixers faced the Oklahoma City Thunder. Jrue (Holiday) was hurt at the time and those were some valuable minutes I couldve stolen. I just had to stay with it.
Entering the game against the Thunder, the reigning Western Conference champions with whom he played last season, Ivey had played an average of 12 minutes per game his last four times out. Compared with the minutes played by rookie Maalik Wayns, who hadnt seen the floor since a Dec. 19 start at Houston, its clear Ivey is Collins go-to ballhandler off the bench.
Its just the nature of the business, Ivey said. Were competing for minutes and it doesnt go your way, you have to come back strong and have good games. Ive been here before. Its a feel you have to get. You have to compete. Its in the back of your head. You have to compete for minutes.
Aside from expecting minutes against his former club, Ivey said he anticipated a raucous crowd at Chesapeake Energy Arena, which has been filled to capacity for the Thunders last 85 games.
Its like a college environment, he said. I would always tell people, you know, when new guys and rookies come in, theyre like freshman and I was considered a senior.
(The Thunder) are going to be ready for us. They dont lose two in a row at home (OKC lost to Brooklyn Wednesday). Theyre going to come with their hard hats and we have to be ready in the first quarter. They always sell out.
The Thunder have gone 30 home dates without consecutive losses in their building, a string that dates to last March.
Weve always had that bounce-back toughness to win games, said Thunder coach Scott Brooks, a former Sixer. We dont like to lose one game, let alone two in a row, and particularly at home.
Jrue Holidays chances at earning a roster spot in the All-Star Game will hinge greatly on what he does the next nine days, before fan voting closes.
Should you ask around the Sixers locker room, Holidays all-star material regardless. At least thats how its seen by Ivey, whos played with Holiday and Oklahoma Citys all-star point guard Russell Westbrook.
Jrue is similar, but hes quiet. Russells more vocal, hes more animated, Ivey said. And Jrue, hes more reserved, but Jrue has that same competitive nature. He gets after it. Its similar. Theyre both pitbulls one is a blue nose, one is a red nose.
Holiday averages 18.8 points, 9.0 assists and 4.2 rebounds while shooting 45 percent. Westbrooks numbers (21.7/8.7/5.1 and 41 percent) are quite similar. Actually, theyre the only NBA players averaging at least 18 points and eight assists.
A busted pipe at the team hotel provided an early wake-up call for the Sixers, and also led to this tweet from Spencer Hawes: So the hotel is flooding in okc. Dont remember this ever being an issue in seattle.
Presumably the Seattle-born Hawes is still chapped that the NBA relocated the Sonics to Oklahoma City.
NOTES: Holiday played despite a minor right groin strain.
Crimson was a popular color at the arena, where Oklahoma football fans chose watching the Thunder live to viewing the Cotton Bowl, between Oklahoma and Texas A&M, on television.

1. | Manx | ||
A slanderous term that should only be used in the most extreme of circumstances due to its very high level of insult. Leanne: Omg, Ciara just made out with your boyfriend.
Faye: HOW DARE SHE! THAT FILTHY MANX! |
2. | Manx | ||
Mentalcases that live on the isle of man. Manx people. Proud to call themselves seperate from the UK and their Queen and Prime Minister but honestly screwed without their support- damn nationalists.
Big on motorbike racing and anything manx- find 'Tra da li liaoor yessir!' a valid excuse for being late, no matter the occassion ''Why the hell are you late to your sisters wedding?!''
''Tra da li liaoor yessir'' 'Oh, go sit down then, go on sit that fat Manx ass down!'' |
3. | Manx | ||
Sadly but truly these are Spanx for men. When you reach 35 but don't want to give up on looking like 25 (ie you still try clubbing it because you can't grow up), you buy Manx.
4. | Manx | ||
A term often used on internet forums and video games to explain how quickly that person is climbing rankings. "John leveled up in WoW again. Hes going 88 manx a minute!"
5. | Manx | ||
a very mischievous/cheeky guy Josh has three girlfriends, he is such a manx!
6. | Manx | ||
An adjective to describe absurd, bizarre and often repugnant behaviour.
Derived from the indigenous population of the Isle of Man. "What? She puts ketchup in her rice pudding? That is absolutely manx".
7. | manx | ||
Dating a manx wasn't so bad, Gina reflected. After all, the sex was over quickly and he always picked up the tab when they went out on the weekend.

[Edit: it's a hoax, but apparently nothing to do with Nintendo. He claims to be just an artist. ]
I'm 98% sure this is some creative viral marketing for Nintendo's upcoming game Kid Icarus. It's an extensive series of videos and a blog proporting to show a wing-flapping flying machine.
Culminating in this video:
The video has many people crying foul, it has rather odd transitions, very suspiciously blurry and low quality video, and the helmet-cam footage does not seem to match the ground footage - at one point being cropped, as if to disguise this fact. But the most damning evidence comes in the 13th video, where a repair patch magically appears on the wing in a supposedly continuous shot with a suspicious transition.
In video 14, there are several more patches, but they at least keep continuity this time:
Note the gearwheel design on the right is black in one video, but white in the other. This is because it's backlit in 14. But since the patch is solidly visible in both, then it can't simply be a trick of the light.
The Nintendo connection is that he uses WiiMote controllers as haptic devices, and the video campaign culminates three days before the release of Kid Icarus:Uprising on the Nintendo 3DS on March 23rd, 2012.
The web site also tags some of the pages with the word "Icarus".
And this is all besides the sheer physical impossibility of it. It was a windless day, he's barely jogging, and somehow it manages to lift up about 160 pounds of machinery and human. Google Earth indicates that he's actually running UPHILL on a slight gradient.
It's funny they are so concerned about the weight of the fabric, which comes to just 1Kg. Yet seemingly unconcerned about the weight or fitness of Jarno Smeets. Jarno seems like a regular sized (but taller than that his friends), regular fitness guy. It seems like they would be much better suited to have someone smaller and stronger doing the test if a few grams in wing material were to make all the difference.
Very interesting to watch the press lap it up though. And another lesson to not believe everything you read on the internet, or see on YouTube.

The renowned country house hotel on the outskirts of Windsor, famous for its local attractions.
From the moment you sweep up the drive to be ushered into the stunning Victorian gothic mansion on the banks of the Thames, you are treated as a treasured guest and feel completely at home. Set in over 37 acres of beautiful English landscape gardens with manicured lawns leading straight onto a large secluded stretch on the River Thames, our attention to detail and unbeatable service ensure a very special stay and a memorable place for a wedding, party or conference.
The Oakley Court is just twenty minutes from Heathrow Airport and forty minutes from London, making it an ideal location for business meetings and conferences, but also for entertaining key clients, product launches or quite simply thanking your team.
Choose from a wide range of flexible spaces able to cater for five to five hundred people. Traditional rooms with natural daylight and unique conference facilities such as the Boathouse on the river or the Walled Garden, where you can put up a marquee for up to 500 guests or even land your helicopter. The 7 acre Oakley Court Field is ideal for larger scale team building activities such as quad biking or clay pigeon shooting.
Dining at The Oakley Court is a memorable affair. Take your
fancy from the all day dining menu served in the elegant splendour of the main mansion, or perhaps an al fresco lunch on
the banks of the River Thames? The perfect spot for a celebration dinner with friends or an intimate gourmet experience in The Dining Room, the choice is yours.
Throughout the hotel, special historic features such as our
ornamental ceilings, wood-panelled floors and sash windows, and of course the backdrop of manicured lawns and the meandering river create a stunning dining setting. Take some time out and enjoy our lounge menu and afternoon teas, or perhaps a beverage from the wide selection available in the stylish and comfortable bar.
Relaxation comes easy to our guests with thirty seven acres of landscaped gardens, leading right up to the secluded banks of the River Thames. There is also the croquet lawn, the snooker room and the full facilities of the Oakleaf leisure club.
