how important is this?

it's easy to spoof and vote over and over. in opera (a browser), open a private window. go to the site, vote, then close the private window. reopen a private window, and repeat the process. the votes do accumulate, I've checked it in a different browser (firefox). when I tried to vote a second time in firefox (non-private browsing window), it said, "thanks, we've already recorded your vote". so it would appear that they're making a token effort to restrict the votes to one per user.

early and often!

I've done something really unusual for me.
Bought a pair of rather silly shoes.
In my defense I am intending to sell the other silly shoes I never wear on eBay.

Am breaking them in.
They are breaking me.

It's not so much the height, at least I don't think so (haven't dared set foot outside yet), it's the constriction.

They are not made for fat trotters like mine, something that was not apparent when I tried one on for about 15 seconds in the shop.

They're red though.
(I like your red shoes)

That's cool! I will sing it if I ever get to wear these out of the house.

Mine comes from a grammar exercise on the use of emphasis:
I like my red shoes
I like my red shoes.
I like my red shoes.
I like my red shoes.
I like my red shoes.

New shoes always hurt, but I love them as much as fictional woman who never get blisters and raw spots and have people point out on escalators that I am leaving a trail of blood behind me.

But red shoes. Red shoes. Even harder to resist than any other shoes.
Subliminal.

Got some silver ones too.
Both second hand, natch. Just not second hand enough to be stretched. I think the poor bitch who bought them gave up on them for reasons I cn't afford to.

Let's put it this way - the red shoes I found so appalling feel mighty fine when I take off the silver wedges.

'70s party anyone?
I'll be Muriel before she went all Hollywood on us.
PS - just got my wig through the post. Damn I'm hot. And don't look bad neever.
Costume courtesy of charity shop.

Need to take pics now photo cards are back.

What does it mean when you come home from a few days away, by yourself, and all you want to do is leave? Every other time I've gone away, even just over night, I've been happy to come home and have missed my family and all the usual stuff. This time - and strangely enough, they've cleaned up and everything so that I didn't even come home to piles of washing and dirty floors etc - all I want to do is get back in the car and start driving and just keep on driving.

I love my family and I like my home, but I seriously do not want to be here. I should be worried I think.
