[QUOTE=Sean Factotum] Okay, then just tell her who wants a rat relocated to their house, and who will pay for the shipping. I don’t get why people are squeamish about killing vermin (rats, mice, etc). There are too many of them, and unless they live in a cage in a medical lab, shouldn’t be seen at all, let alone be allowed to live in the same building as I’m in. [/QUOTE] I don’t mind them being dead. I just don’t like dealing with dead animals. It’s gross. Plus in a sticky trap - don’t you end up having to kill them yourself? Ewww. ---

(Deep breath) Everything is okay, although we’ll have to replace the kitchen faucet head so it’ll fit the attachment. The two hoses are depending on whether you want to use hot or cold water. You just attach the appropriate hose. Changing faucets we can do. Awesome. I’m making nachos for lunch. Anyone want some? Or some gingerbread and whipped cream? ---

Well, I guess the problem is that they look odd unless I wear them with somewhat flared skirts above my knee, and I usually don’t wear above-the-knee skirts to work. I dunno, when I first got them I thought they were fine, but the one night I wore them out I got so many cat-calls on the street I was startled (and no, those weren’t the only things I was wearing :p). What to do for lunch? Hmmm. ---

\*\*Haze \*\* I have some knee high boots with about 2 1/2" heels that I where to work all the time. They look very professional with dark tights and a skirt of appropropraite length. HOWEVER Wear anything to short and you will get the cat-calls… Just had pizza and salad for dinner it was tres yum. Going to have a Magnum for pudding (Vanilla Ice Cream wrapped in chocolate on a stick) I like Ice Cream. 😃 ---

[QUOTE=Dolores Reborn] That was me, and thanks! I will check into them. [/QUOTE] I was starting to wonder if I was supposed to put my Halloween decoration on the tape (to prevent them from being thrown out) or if I was supposed to put my parents on the tape, if they got all hypercritical… 😃 I like your boots,\*\* hazelnut\*\*. ---

I have a friend who teaches college English. She owns a pair of thigh high leather boots. During the first week of classes, she’ll wear them with leather pants tucked in and a black top. She has no trouble from the students the rest of the semester (and the one time she did, she brought her whip in to class - as it happens they were reading some swashbuckler or other) ---

[/QUOTE] Maybe I’ll try some longer skirts. I tried it with a skirt I have that hangs a bit below my knees, but the hemline was not quite below nor above the tops of my boots so it looked awkward. I usually don’t wear long skirts, though, because my height makes it difficult to pull off. Oh, the chair thing. I was taking the picture in the mirror, but we don’t have a full-length mirror so the only way I could do this was to stand on a chair. Honest. 😛 ---

I don’t think just-skimming-the-top-of-the-knee skirts is short enough to create insatiable lust in horny college students, Haze. You could wear skirts that length and that would give you a few inches between hem and boots, and still be quite modest. Or even middle-of-the-knee length, which is still conservative, IMO. ---

Oh, you Americans and your loose morals. 😛 In Korea, anything showing above the knee is considered scandalous. :dubious: No, seriously. I keep forgetting standards are different here. I think the biggest problem is that those boots make me _feel_ [del]slutty[/del] er, unprofessional. Although when winter rolls around I may change my mind in my desire for warmth. ---

[QUOTE=HazelNutCoffee] Although when winter rolls around I may change my mind in my desire for warmth. [/QUOTE] I hate to burst your bubble, but boots like that (which I still loooooove anyway) are not exactly warm. And they’re really pretty bad to walk in in the snow. But they look great so who cares?! 😃 ---

Home from the boat show - we were there way longer than I expected, but it was fun. And tiring. I just tasted what my mom called a Texas margarita - equal parts of tequila, lime, and beer. It’s weird - I don’t much like it. After we eat supper, I’m getting scalped. And tomorrow, we’re leaving early to head for home. Miss Brandy will be happy about that. So will I - we have a king size bed at home, but Mom’s guest bed is a double. Anyway, TGIF!!! ---
