Yes, indeed Katie. I have already done this. Both of us have been doing this for the last 4 years now and have slowly realized how we continued to feel as the wrong ones. Now we see the world with different eyes. We were not wrong. We are the good ones. It's them who are the wrong ones. They are the ones who were trying to control us by their actions. Making us believe that we would be nothing without them. The truth is that they would never be anything without us.

Katie, If you look on the label of a Hershey's bar, I believe all the production is done in Mexico now. The Mars Co. is in Kansas, and Ghirardellie chocolate is made in San Francisco. If you visit Louisville, you can visit the Louisville Slugger Museum and see how bats are made.

Now I'm dying for some chocolate. Great article!

Too funny. I don't think I'll be going to a church soon without a vehicle, but I did order some prayer beads. There are Buddhists and then there are Buddhists. Some do have deities. That's another whole subject that I'm not qualified to delve into yet. Just discussing it seems to clarify things for me.

Lana, I think we are clones of each other. I was also raised in a Southern Baptist Church. I've joined just about every Christian church there is. I'm open to all possibilities. Buddhism is not a religion, because there is no God affiliated with it. My son-in-law is Buddhist. The Dali Lama says it isn't a religion, and you can still have your religion and be Buddhist. In spite of all the perceived faults of the Baptists, you'll never find a friendlier more supportive group of people. When I attend a church, I take what I like and leave what I don't. I pray to God. Am I certain there is a God? No. For me it isn't about the institution. It's about my relationship with the God I talk to. Maybe I'm just talking to the wind, but it gives me comfort. Lana, you appear to be alone in this world. Go back to the Baptist Church and take away what you want. You don't have to buy in to every thing they say. Just enjoy the feeling of community and spirituality. What's up in your head is your business. I have a friend who is becoming a lay nun in the Catholic Church. I asked her if she believed in all the doctrines of the church. She said, no.

Toribri, Thanks so much, shoe love your way :) I'm so going to add nordstroms on this page letting folks no where to get them in sizes up to 12.

Torybri, Oh that is good news. I wear a ten and they can be near impossible to find at times, makes me crazy. But there is no way this girl is ever cramming her foot into a shoe that's to small, the poor shoe, I'd never commit a fashion crime like that. Thanks for the hook up on bigger sized women's flats. :)

QuantumLouie, That's a cool little secret. I grew up with three brothers so it's no big deal for me to wear all sorts of things made for men. I do love women's flats as I am well over the average height for a woman and flats make me feel good. :)

Good luck I do hope you can as they are amazing. I too have so many allergies, soaps, dyes and perfumes are high on the list of culprits. :)

Brenda, Thanks, I know my Mom's been saying it since I can remember.

A friend of mine dug her grandmother's loom out of storage and we looked it up online. It was a loom very popular in the special schools for children and adults.

So true, Katie... Nothing better than burning calories just by living a happy, active life. Thanks for coming by!

I recently read an article that said... hookworms... which are a parasite... actually help people who suffer from Crones disease feel better.

There is that! LOL

Burglar alarm signs work well because it makes your home look challenging and dangerous to them. I think I saw some for sale on Amazon. As for individual door features there are good pad locks that are thicker and more resistant than regular ones. I have seen some that are about half an inch thick. Solid wood doors and aluminum doors are also better at least for doors that lead outside. I don't know how people can sleep at night with cheap hollow wooden doors that can be broken easily with a good kick or using a crowbar. These are better for rooms. As for doors made of a aluminum with glass surfaces I would install a glass break sensor right away in case someone breaks the glass and unlocks the door. Sadly, not many kits have them.

Some flats look comfortable. I would try them on as long as they don't have flowers or designs that are too girly. If you look at some women's flats you can notice that they look a lot like Chinese "kung fu" shoes. I do wear some women's shirts that have a "goth" like look to them. For example, I have a long sleeve turtle neck shirt with a very long neck area. Many people say it looks retro. I get a kick out knowing the truth.
