The First Lady could feed quite a few people with what she paid for the sneakers she's wearing.

Wow! $540.-- for a pair of sneakers!

And they are ugly!

Mine cost only $ 50.-- and are much, much nicer!

She should wear them with her 'sleeveless' dresses.

As much as I like O, but she is a no no.

If he used to be Michelle and became Mike would be different.
Michael and Mike....silly to get upset at people who have known you your entire life for calling you an extended version of a nickname, even if you have legally changed it. I have a brother named Andrew. If he suddenly changed his name to Andy legally and wanted to be called that, I'd probably never remember. I've called him Andrew for 30 years and would probably do so for the rest of our lives.

My sister is now my brother, has been for a few years. I still slip up and call him her and by his girl name.

Michelle Obama
I think she seems really intellgent, and would just like to chat with her on multiple topics.

I don't want to get all political, but Michelle Obama has been sm

quoted as saying, "for the first time in my adult life I am proud of my country."

This statement made me wince. I can't help but think of all of the GREAT wives of American Presidents who would never say such things about this great country we call home. For the first time in her adult life? What's so bad about this GREAT country that she isn't proud of?

I don't know. Is it just me or do others agree that we should have a First Lady in the White House who will stand behind her country through thick and thin? What's going to happen if in a year or two something else happens and she is no longer proud of this country? What kind of First Lady will she be then?

I think you should be president if you love America, born and raised in America, are Christian, and have solid convictions, and believe in the constitution.

Nah. Michelle is as big a hypocrite as her husband.

$ sneakers
at least she should get a pair of jimmy choos for that price.

I agree, that is a lot to pay for sneakers, however, sm
If she has to be on her feet a lot (which she probably does) and gets a lot of wear out of them, maybe the price is justified. I know I'd hate to have to wear heels all the time and not all sneakers are comfortable to me. With her job, she probably needs something really comfortable and durable.

Just a thought.

sneakers. Cookies or cake?

I would never wear those sneakers, even if they sell them for $ 1.--,
cause they are UGLY.
I am not a 'label' wearer.

Sunset...sneakers or flip flops?

Time for a podiatrist evaluation & new shoes/sneakers before

Not the OP but are you trying to be ugly or
It seems like you are hounding the OP needlessly, IMO.

I am sorry if this seems ugly....sm
but why in the HE!! was this baby allowed in the country with this? I mean I know we already have some cases but we don't need more. Other countries are scanning folks at the airports for fevers trying to protect people from this but we are just welcoming them on over here for treatment. DON'T LET PEOPLE WITH SWINE FLU FROM MEXICO COME IN THE US!! Man that ticks me off!

Ugly is right
They are the ugliest things and I wouldn't have paid $10 for them. She could have spent $40 on a nice pair of sneakers and sent the $500 to feed the hungry in this country.

What a slap in the face. Oh yeah, they are so in touch with people like us. $540. would feed me for one month.

Whatever happened to Payless? They have excellent shoes at good prices. Even Macy's, Penny or shoe specialty stores have shoes that are cheaper. $540 for an ugly pair of shoes.

�I just can�t look at that ugly floor any more!�
Caption it !! See image below.

You just don't want to acknowledge the ugly side
of the horse breedin' business is all. You go Google these two words, "Feedlot horses," and let me know what you find. Dollars to doughnuts says you won't find much about horses used in herdin' cattle....add in the word Thoroughbred to that search while your at it. Many of the rescues, Canter, Crossed Sabers, SWAP (Second Wind Adoption Program) rescue horses directly from these feedlots. Everyone immediately thinks of the mustangs being the only horses sent to slaughter because they are so high profile, but there is a white elephant in the room...one that generates a lot of money and prestige, and ignorance is bliss so people turn a blind eye. It's really quite sad.

It is an ugly situation which is why I'm was for suggestions
aside from the obvious... Killing her dog for her.

He looks like an aging ugly female! nm

Why be so ugly to her? it was a suggestion from another poster.
I realize you are upset but you ASKED for responses and then are nasty when someone responds? I do NOT understand posters like you.

Yeah, and was still having the ugly stuff after I was

UGLY BETTY QUESTION

I was wondering if I missed an episode. I watched the show last week and remembering Jason's dad getting shot and Jason's mom (I cannot remember the names) showing her wedding gown. This week it shows him dead and already burried. Did I miss something?

The first and last ones are butt-ugly, but the black

but, they are UGLY and too flat, very uncomfortable..nm

Agree with what you did. She could have put looseleaf paper in there, too, though ugly. nm

I have painted over almost all the ugly paneling in my house
In fact, just painted my bedroom this week. Didn't use anything to fill in the grooves because they don't bother me as much as the ugly paneling did. But I would use a primer first, especially if it is dark. Good luck! Best thing I ever did!

All right, but she should at least buy something that is worth the money, not ugly stuff........nm
