Pantyhose Color
Comments (22)Wow Christina77! I applaud your resolve and determination. Your protagonists were attacking from all sides in their futile attempt to sway you to the dark-side (the erroneous belief that hose w/open-toed shoes looks tacky), but you wouldn't budge. I tip my hat to you. I am a man and I do not claim to speak for all men, however I do know of a good number of men who share my opinion. I believe that open-toed shoes with sheer sandalfoot pantyhose is sexy as long as you have a good pedicure going on and you aren't wearing any cheap (i.e. saggy, cheap looking) pantyhose or reinforced toe pantyhose. In fact, once you are spotted wearing them you and the other young ladies who also opted to wear pantyhose with open-toed shoes, I dare say that you became the center of attention just as you said and the men (and some ladies) probably couldn't take their eyes off of you. The pantyhose haters are indeed entitled to their respective opinions and I wouldn't recommend you waste a moment of your time trying to persuade them to see things otherwise. It seems there are two camps: (1) those who love pantyhose, and (2) those vehemently opposed. I bet you looked elegant and stunning. Stay true to yourself and don't change for anyone!...See MoreA personal question - how bare do you go?
Comments (140)This may send this thread into a whole other topic, but (and this is just my opinion!) I think oral sex is much more common now than ever before. Not to say it hasn't been done forever, but I think there's a trend for kids to want to say they're virgins when they're married, and they don't think of oral sex as losing their virginity...thus there's much more attention paid to that area with a razor/wax/whatever. It's getting more "face time" (HAHA!). When I talk to my kids about sex, they say that's what "most kids" are doing, oral sex, not intercourse. Just a theory. For the record, I think it's much more common for a guy to "manscape" than ever before. In my circle of friends, the women generally prefer to groom themselves with a "landing stip." I'm in my mid-forties....See MoreSettee vs. sofa?
Comments (8)Hi Harriethomeowner. That's not an unattractive loveseat, but in a living room--which is, ironically, often the least-used room in houses nowadays--comfort is the primary consideration, and there's no way I'd ditch a full size, nap-friendly sofa for a dinky little settee or loveseat, no matter how pretty it might look in the store on some website. People with big ol' honking great rooms or media rooms often say that since no one ever uses their TV-deprived living rooms anyway, they just use them for show, and that comfort is therefore not an issue. Call me out of the loop, but I can't think of anything sillier than creating a room that you know right from the getgo is uncomfortable. Maybe those folks should ask themselves if that discomfort level is not why no one ever uses those rooms, instead of the other way around. When I see a vacant desert of a room like that--and I see a lot of them these days--I see a textbook case of cause-&-effect, and I rememeber the grim, stiff parlors of the old days. I mean there was a reason they used those rooms for funerals. But like they say, those who cannot remember the lessons of the past are doomed to repeat them. And if this room, unlike so many others, isn't a superfluous vestigial space in a supersized house, but, rather, a real room that you actually use--and that's what its current comfy look says to me--then all the above goes double. If your LR ain't broke, don't fix it. Do I love the current upholstery? Not really, but in a room this relaxed & friendly-looking, I could live with it (especially if I painted the walls something compatible with said upholstery, something other than their current bland color, which, rather than lightening up the room, simply makes everything else in the room look dark & muddy) although I might consider re-upholstering your existing pieces, if the fabric's showing wear (and with a bunch of cats roaming around, it probably is) or if you're just simply looking for a new look. OK, Question 2: can you have too many legs? Sure you can. That's why upholstery shops often add skirts when they reupholster, so rooms don't start looking like Leg City. But since, just as with human bodies, all chairs are not born equal, some chairs need skirts while other chairs look great bare-legged. There is no one answer that applies to everyone. Or every chair. But as far as the matching-woods bit goes--or matching fabrics, for that matter--forget it. Life's hard enough without worrying about inconsequential stuff like that. Here's my living room, with its down-cushioned sofa just the right size for a long winter's nap, and its hodge-podge of faded fabics & unfashionable colors and its mismatched woods. You know what I say about all that? Oh, well. If people don't like the magpie look, they don't have to come back. But you know what? They do. Over & over. I must be doing something right, but it sure isn't buying stuff out of catalogs & it isn't matching up my colors. No, if you ask me, all your welcoming room really needs is a new paint job, some colored or opaque paper shades to create interesting patterns on the walls & some light-colored touches here & there. What it doesn't need--not with those cats--is solid color fabrics. Not pale ones, anyway. And not velvet. But you've got the main thing--the comfort--down just fine. Which means you're already way ahead of a lot of people. Regards, MAGNAVERDE....See MoreCompression stocking advise.
Comments (15)Diagnosed with varicose veins bout 6 or 7 years ago, I was prescribed compression stockings, got two pair Sigvaris at drug-store related homecare store, about $40. but immediate discount of about $10. using their store loyalty card, which usually offers only points ... and they threw in a pair of the latex(?) gloves to help adjust them, which helps a lot. They're getting very old and bedraggled, now ... but the socks are still going strong. A few months later got a third pair, which are a bit tighter ... and included a second pair of gloves (still in box). A couple of years ago they called to ask how the socks were doing ... seemed O.K. - how do I knew when not? They slide. Mine didn't ... later took them in for confirmation, and they still don't. To remove them, I push index or middle fingers down slightly to each side of middle of back of leg, push sock down to three or four inches above ankles, push that top down over heel, with top up to near toes, then use two fingers as before to push the rest of the sock still on the leg down over the heel, then take the top and pull the sock off of the foot - inside out. Then wash them in slightly warm water, with mild dish soap, nightly on removal. Lots of pressing down and squeezing. Then rinse well in slightly warm water, with much squeezing. I have a dryer in the bathroom, that I can drape all three pair over the flat top. In the morning, put socks on shortly after leaving bed, push hand down into sock, pull heel up some over hand, push toe portion into the hole, grab with thumb and fingers, try to spread the foot as much as possible, then grab heel to pull sock part way off of my arm. It would be easy to then pull the sock up over the foot, but I take hold of the back of the sock again about 3" above the heel, remove the arm, then put thumbs into the foot portion on either side of the heel, pull it up over the foot. Sometimes one hasn't judged well, and the seams on either side of the heel aren't even, so some manipulation with the glove gets things straightened out. Then pull the top up slowly, with the thumbs about a third of the way from back to side of leg, and rock back and forth gently to try to distribute the relative pressure exerted by the sock evenly around the leg. Those three pair of socks have provided good service, almost daily, for about 7 years ... so I'm not complaining. This loquacious guy has just been informed that he has three minutes left to get out of here ... so.. ... 'bye, all. ole joyfuelled...See Morejcrowley99
