Guest guest Posted August 19, 2010 Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 Mark, I too have sat on the Disney bench and questioned the same thought. Heck, I find myself watching people walk in shoes often and can not understand why they stay on their feet and not mine. I have a pair of flip flops and I sometimes wear them around the house to hear that flip flop sound I remember from the day, until they fall off. I may someday just duct tape them to my feet and go about my business with my head held high! I am at the point that I have to wear high top sneakers with my professional clothing. A cute look for a 13 year old skateboarder rather than a professional 47 year old woman! I have a very unique look and have noticed people inquisitively looking at me like " why does she wear those shoes " , just as I too inquisitively wonder why when they can wear any shoe they choose and they have chosen such ugly ones!

When I have had enough and have to sit for a while when we are Disney, I find myself looking at people's shoes. It amazes me how people can spend an entire day walking a theme park in flip flops! Imagine that! Crocs get me too! I tried a pair once - they are like walking on marshmallows! Problem with something that soft is how easy it is to twist the good ole ankles in them! So the once worn marshmallows went in the trash rather than break my neck. That is one thing that gets to me is shoes! It is not fair other people can wear something so comfortable or nice. I've been known to wear black sneakers with a tuxedo! How sucky is that? Guess I got off track.... Mark > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 19, 2010 Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 Funny how some are in a hurry. I am the opposite. I like to take my time. I am in no hurry to do anything.

I work out 5 days a week and bike 8 miles 3-4 nights a week. Although it doesn't help stop the progression I do it because one day I know I won't be able to. So yes if there are things you have been wanting to do, DO IT!! before you can't, I woke up one day and have found I couldn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 19, 2010 Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 Funny thing about black sneakers with a tux, my son is entering middle school this year. They have formal dances and they are not allowed to wear sneakers, wonder what we are going to do about that!' lori From: [mailto: ] On Behalf Of meandcmt Sent: Wednesday, August 18, 2010 9:22 PM Subject: Re: in a hurry I live every day for the day and do everything I possibly can.

Guest guest Posted August 19, 2010 Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 i too am so jealous of people who can wear flip flops and now there are soooo many cute ones. LOVE the idea of duct taping them to our feet. I just may try that for kicks and giggles! Jackie Re: in a hurry I live every day for the day and do everything I possibly can.

Guest guest Posted August 19, 2010 Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 in re: to the shoes, i myself, have found that i cannot wear anything with an arch in it...does anyone else have that problem? i don't know what it is,but it seems to throw me off balance more than usual,and that is a serious problem.. does anyone have any suggestions, i have always worn the " cheap " white shoes that you " used " to could find at a dollar store and had no problem with them at all.but now i am having a real hard time finding them...i usually wear flip-flops myself, b/c they are flat..or nothing at all preferably...what should i do? as for the young man with the issue of wearing black sneakers,well i say let him wear them with the tux..preferably a new pair if you can afford them, i am sure that even as mean and cruel as other kids can be, i am sure by now they have picked up on something being wrong with his walk/gait...let him go and let him be COMFORTABLE, i say...but that is just my opinion... best of luck to him....maybe you should talk to the principal ahead of time and make him aware of this situation and see if that helps to " allow " him to wear them to the prom or formal dance...take care and GOD BLESS YOU ALL.....tracey From: Lori Mattheiss <mattheiss137@...> Subject: RE: Re: in a hurry Date: Thursday, August 19, 2010, 8:01 AM  Funny thing about black sneakers with a tux, my son is entering middle school this year.
