Heels and stairs


Guest Mikkiapolis

Recommended Posts

I have a heel story from today. Mind the tiny gap at elevators! Yep I stuck mine right in there, I have been oblivious to that gap because it's small size all my life...

Yep! I did that a few months ago and wrenched my foot pretty hard. It took a second to re-compose, get my shoe un-stuck and back on my foot. Thank the stars that nobody witnessed it!

I've been on a hiatus from heels for a while after hip surgery. Wearing them again today was a joy... and a challenge.

Love, Megan

As someone whos lived as a woman and worn high heels most of their life - its a definate no no to climb stairs placing your heel on it - its dangerous, only the ball of the foot goes on a step....................its nothing to do with being a woman - its just a safety thing

I've always walked up stairs on the testicles of my feet, unless they were relitivly large steps like the ones in the Lincoln monument in DC, heels or not, it's just easier for me, going down if I'm in flats/boots/sandles/sneakers I'll walk on the testicles but if I have more then 1/4inch of a heel ill step fully on each one the whole way down

*face floor* *mumbles into the floor* thank you technology for making me some kind of freaky mutant

It's even worse when someone appears to actually take it seriously and goes away thinking "You have testicles on your feet?" and doesn't check back and realise what is happening. :(

Don't worry about it. You're not the first and you won't be the last.

At 1:30 the shoes are a size too big for the wearer. Had those been on my feet, they would have slipped straight off; especially if I was wearing stockings. Heels have to be a perfect fit for me, or else they flap up and down like a pair of flip-flops. However, gel heel cushions cut in half and stuffed down the gap between the heel of your foot and the back of your shoe help enormously. Stuff in as many as required

      What do you do to make someone else feel better or just smile?

      A mixture of good and bad.

      EXCITEMENT The feeling when you expect something good or nice will happen to you. You cannot wait for it to happen. You feel excitement when something very nice is about to happen. For example, when you are about to see a good friend who just returned from a year abroad, when you just received the keys for your new car, or when you are waiting in line for a thrilling rollercoaster ride. In each case, you are experiencing eagerness and impatience in expectation of the upcoming pleasant experience. Excitement is more likely when the anticipated experience is both novel or unique and desirable. It is especially intense if you have been waiting for a long time to obtain the goal, or when excitement is shared with other people and the event makes you feel like you are part of something bigger.

      https://www.nbcnews.com/nbc-out/out-news/several-attorneys-general-made-abusive-legal-demands-get-trans-patient-rcna147910     This is a complex issue and I'm no expert, but the actions of these GOP Attorney's General don't pass the smell test.  Their motivations and actions are highly suspect and they lack any credibility.  What else is new, right?  I guess it will all come out in the inevitable court fight.   Carolyn Marie

      I went to work with my husband today.  He asked me this morning if I wanted to go...of course I said yes.  I enjoy being with him, and getting away from the house for a little while.  He spent half the day in his office, which I think is why he asked me along.  He made a nest in the corner for me, where I can plug in my laptop and do my stuff...nobody minds me being there.     But today ended up with a strange opportunity.  I had a conversation with my husband's boss, the company owner.  They want some basic graphic design work done, so I think they might hire me to do it.  Nothing fancy, not nearly as complicated as what I've attempted to do for our county.  So I have a meeting with them on Monday, just to look at some details and see if I can do the work they want.  And especially talk about when they need it done, because I still work pretty slowly.  I don't really need or want the money, but its nice to feel like I can do something again.

      I went to WM today with the objective of buying sandals: they would be women's, but look like men's; they would be brown or black, not white.  I realized the cheapest way to go  was to go for flip-flops, which I observed were prevalent in the store. So I checked out the women's.  Flowers. White shiny straps. Nothing that could possibly be men's. The best deal was one flip flop for $3.98.  At first I thought that was a pair, then, nope.  And because I comparison shop (is there the same thing in men's?) I found the cheapest over there was $6.98 for a pair of flip flops in green that also match my women's cargo shorts that I love.  Doing the math, finding the pink tax.  Rip off.  I have found a blue tax this way, but usually they charge women more for something than they do men. I guess women tend to lose one flip flop at a time or something. Weird.  The pairs were a lot higher.   So, following my rule, but unhappy with it, I bought the green men's flip flops.  They were the cheapest.  Later wife of mine complimented how masculine I look in my matching shorts and flip-flops.  Inward groan. We have not discussed the Subject in a long time because I think she forgets it is there as soon as the conversation ends.  Or she is trying to talk me out of this.  Not sure.  We only discuss it when necessary, and how often do most couples discuss whether one spouse is one sex or the other? Outside of here, I mean.  So we very seldom talk about it and she is happier if she does not know about it. Super stealth.  I do the laundry and I shower in the shower in the wing away  from the master bed room so I have my own shower.
