Y'know what I can't stand?
I went out this morning and bought a new pair of shoes for work and just wearing around wherever. Tried them on in the store and they fit great, looked good...I was a happy li'l camper.

Got home and got ready for work -- put on my new shoes...

And now my feet are sliding around.

1. That's weird, usually feet get "fatter" later in the day
Are you wearing them to work, or are you going to try them again at home in case you want to take them back?

2. That's what I've heard from other people...
mine are the other way, though. My feet are usually more swollen in the morning than they are at night.

Grrrrrrr....

3. That kind of thing happens to me all the time.
I'll walk around in the shoes for 10 minutes in the store to make sure they're comfortable, and they are. Then when I put them on at home, they hurt my feet. Pisses me off too.

9. These aren't hurting my feet...
but I didn't put 'em on until right before I came to work...and I haven't been doing much walking.

Tomorrow's gonna be the test.

4. I've had that happen more times than I care to remember...
And it's one of the reasons I tend to buy shoes that lace!

It is very frustrating.....

:banghead:

10. Oh, no...
I like celery. And asparagus. And green beans. And spinach. And cauliflower.

And lima beans. And okra.

And even...

Brussels sprouts.

:P

14. Maybe that WAS
their ulterior motive.

the more I look at that, the worse it looks. In a minute, it's going to look like something that should be on the Rosetta stone

They have the day off tomorrow...tomorrow I'm taking my feet shopping. And, if my shoes can behave, they may come, too. Otherwise....

:hi:

16. The heartwrenching tale of a girl
her shoes and the ties that bind them before some heel comes along, driving a wedge betwixt the pair.

A musical, of course.

:P

17. Wow. And I'm happy when I fit in the occasional "whilst" .... "betwixt" - I bow to your
utter awesomeness!
