Would you wear high heels even if they made your feet hurt?

A survey conducted by the American Podiatric Medical Association showed some 42 percent of women admitted they'd wear a shoe they liked even if it gave them discomfort; 73 percent admitted already having a shoe-related foot issue. http://www.oprah.com/beauty/webmd/200802/beauty_highheels_b1.jhtml?promocode=CNNheelsDL?cnn =yesYou can read tips on how to avoid hurting feet at that link.

Vanilla high heels or flats
!
High heels....love em! Handbags too...
I have about 12 right now, but there is a Cole Haan I have my eye on that is going to become number 13 in the next few weeks!
Ah - easy for YOU to say I should abandon my high heels...sm
I have too much invested to chuck them out the window in favor of muck boots.
And besides, you can't fool me. If I did chuck them out I have a pretty good idea who would be standing under the window with a basket! I was born at night, but not last night.
Sure - I always swim in high heels! Gives you the edge in water polo. nm

The sheer look of them makes my feet hurt..nm!..

Wouldnt wear them even if my feet DIDNT

if one has good feet, one can wear cheap shoes.
Shoes do not necessarily have to be espensive to be good. There are also expensive shoes that are not so good.
People with unhealthy feet need expensive shoes.
I have a lot of shoes (over 100) average price $ 40.--, and I have very healthy feet.
I take very good care of my feet and my shoes, some are 20 years old, inspite being medium priced.
I could not wear the same shoes, yearin, yearout, resoled, repaired, etc...boring!
Sorry!
But, most of the time, I run around barefoot, that's the best shoe!
People that hurt dogs should be hurt themselves in the exact same way. I HATE sm
cruelty to animals.
I mean my heels.
sheesh.
I believe the outfit is a suit (jacket optional), pantyhose and heels.

depends on if you are 4 feet 11 inches or 5 feet 9 inches...
don't you think?
What the women wear or don't wear is not the
issue here. They can wear what they want. The issue is what is actually going on in the compound and the laws that are being broken.
My family made home-made mozzarella,
and it was very good. I was pretty small at the time, so I don't remember the exact process, just that it was done pretty quickly, and a lot of milk was used.
I don't know if you'll save a lot of money making your own cheese. The cost of milk is very high, too, and you need a lot of milk to make cheese.
This might have hurt!
Do what I do...request a copy of the office notes and the results of all tests. One vet in my area does this routinely.
You mention that your cat is vomiting. I think my vet gave my 21-year-old cat cimetidine and this helped him. Also, I made chicken broth out of precooked chicken from the supermarket with salt added. My cat liked the Italian precooked chicken broth the best! Also, get a tube of Nutri-Stat or Nutri-Cal to supplement her diet when she isn't eat too well.
Is your cat hyperthyroid? She may need an adjustment in her meds. Do you have her blood sent out to an approved/independent lab such as Michigan State Univ or Cornell (there are more, just can't think of their names!!)
Please don't hurt yourself sm
The way you want to lose weight is very dangerous and could cost you your life and/or your health. If you feel truly "fat" and that's an awful way to feel. I went through a depression briefly and gained a lot of weight and felt this way. Once I changed my eating habits and made the effort to read labels, use self-control and exercise more, going to a smaller size made me feel so much better, that I continued to live healthier. The junk food, salty food and greasy food became intolerable to me after that, your whole taste bud thing changes once you get used to eating right. Force yourself to take a brisk walk, you need not join an expensive club, etc. Reward yourself with a nice arm bath, some nice lotion,a new haircut and perhaps a manicure (you can get this at Walmart for $12). As you begin to lose weight, you will feel much better and perhaps your husband will get a "wake up" call. I would just "get up early" and use this time for your personal exercise and "you"time, then he'll be left with the night-time option only, as you won't be there. I hope you can do this for yourself. Then if it doesn't work out, I would definitely seek professional help as newly weds usually do "do it" more often than most and something sounds fishy here. Try being a "new you" and make yourself so attractive you will keep him guessing as to what's going on with you, not vice-versa. Hang in and start dieting "yesterday," you can do it! Lose more than one kind of "baggage", mental as well as physical. You're worth it. Don't hurt yourself, these purging and vomiting things only cause you pain later on and it doesn't last. You need a whole new way of life. There's plenty of help on the Internet for you.Good luck, make yourself absolutely beautiful inside and out!
Would you be hurt?
Say you were out of town with four other friends. Each of the other ladies is TIED to their cell phone for calls and text messages. It is WELL known that you are NOT one who is tied to your cell phone and the group even jokes about the fact that if they were on the side of the road broken down the one person NOT to text would be you because you wouldn't get it for a week and they would end up dying.
Back to the question...so you're all out of town and it's decided that despite everyone being tired, you would all get together to watch a movie. You go to your room and hear nothing. So, you turn on the TV and settle in. A few hours later, you go to your phone and low and behold there it is...a text message to you saying "It's movie time...where are you?" You have received no phone call in your room and no one has come to your room to knock to see if you want to join them.
Are you angry? What do you do? What should you have done? Is this just a matter of both sides not communicating?
Curious to see what you say here...
it does hurt
My ex's mother has just never been the grandmotherly type. She calls sporadically - never remembers birthdays or Christmas. Fortunately, my daughter's other grandparents(my mom & dad) were great. But "granny" just doesn't get it - I think there is something missing in her brain. She even asked my daughter (then 20) how she could be a better grandparent -my daughter said just call, write, send a card on my birthday, etc. That has been 2 years ago and my daughter has heard nothing from her.
You have hurt his ego most likely, thinks that only he - sm
should be taking care of business, or else thinks the toy does too good a job and you will not want him. My DH and I have a few different toys, though we do not use them too much, use them more together than I do solo. As stated they can enhance the experience, try to show him that and use it together, or show him how to use it on you, but if that still freaks him out then I guess that is out and just keep it for yourself when he is not around. Mine would love it if I got more into them actually, just depends on the guy and how confident he is in himself I think.
Ouch! That must hurt. Sorry.
a
Because I'm hurt. She never comes to my "parties" sm
even though I always go to hers (as stated previously before), and so, yes, it is personal. Like I said, I called her to see if she were coming to a BD party tomorrow in my son's honor and she was like, "what party?"
LOL-OMG ouch! That would hurt!! sm
Anyway, I understood what you meant. This denture thing is all new to me. I never realized I would have to learn to eat all over again. It was more of a necessity than an option to get them. I have a full upper and a lower partial so it's only the top I am having trouble with. Feels better right now since Dr. ground down the annoying edge. Have to go back Tuesday and I think he will knock down the other side just a hair. Now, just to get the partial tightened up enough to quit popping out when I move my tongue...... Also, thanks for the tip on the Camphopenique. I'll try that!
I had one 15 few years ago, and it hurt
like heck. I was cleaning my present doc's office weekly (also did his house twice weekly) and he peeked at it when he came in one day and said "Come in tomorrow and we'll drain it." I came in the next day with a lump nearly the size of a 2 walnuts and while I was in the room waiting for him to come in, all of a sudden it quit hurting and started going down. He walked in and said "did you hit that thing with a book" and I said "no, today was my day to clean your house, remember?" He said "Must have been pretty bad, huh? That thing ruptured on its own. I don't have to do anything." He still teases me about how how his house gypped him out of draining that ganglion. LOL-it never came back.
You think you hurt now but you have no idea how bad it can get
and will get if you do not end it right this minute. It will be hard - but you will survive. You know it is the right thing to do - which is why you posted here. You deserve more than being the 'other woman' and your feelings will never change for him as long as he is in your life. He lied to you - lie of omission - by not advising you of his wife. Change your email, change your phone number, get out and meet new people - go to church, get involved and try your hardest to stop thinking of him - trust me - this will only lead you to more pain if you dont' break if off now. Will it be easy? Of course not? Will you regret it? Sometimes - but someday you will be glad you did.
It is going to hurt less if you just say no at the start.

I can understand why you are hurt at that on SM
a few levels. I hope it does not come to that until it is necessary. It sounds like you love and value this anmial, and for that I am glad. Cherish every moment your pet brings into your life. Let us know.
Wouldn't hurt to s/m
get the old movie "Grapes of Wrath" and watch that too. That'll show you what's ahead.
My big baby would never hurt someone..sm
that he knows and knows means no harm to him or his family. The only time he would hurt someone is if a stranger come in that was not supposed to be there and then I believe he could hurt them but the way I see it if someone wants to come up in my house when they shouldn't be there then they deserve what they get.
As far as our friends he loves them. As long as he knows you then he is fine. As long as he is introduced to people he doesn't know and you reassure him it is okay then he is fine.
I have no reason to be afraid of my dog. He honestly believes I am his mama I think. When I leave the house my husband said he sits at the window and whines until I come home. He is a big love. His best friend is a beagle who also lives in my house.
I am glad you do animal rescues, but how you claim to care for animals when you are prejudice to a certain breed you probably know very little about? Unless you have owned one it is impossible to know what they are really like. Until a dog has proved he is vicious and not to be trusted I don't think it is fair to stereotype them on what you have heard or believe to be true. I have had 2 Yorkies at different times, I have had a Chihuahua/Yorkie mix, and I have had 2 beagles. Out of all of them the Pit bull is the most affectionate dog I have owned. The Chihuahua/Yorkie mix comes in a close second. But you can believe it or not, he is the most affectionate dog I have ever owned. He just is protective of his family and to me there is nothing wrong with that.
What kids don't know won't hurt them.
My kids had no clue how slimy their dad was and what I had to do to protect us and I will never tell them. Their dad tried to drag them into the middle of it, but I was in his face faster than he could say "child support."
I know it's sad and unseemly, the things we have to resort to during a divorce, but it's ugly business and only a fool will put her honor before her children.
What's on your feet?
I am curious if other transcriptionists have the same problem I have. I can't seem to use the foot pedal with shoes on. I am either barefoot, or wear socks or slippers. I can't manipulate the foot pedal with shoes on. Am I the only one? If you wear shoes when you work, what kind? Please don't tell me I'm the only one with this problem.
I WISH those were my feet!! :-)
Those are my daughter's feet. Aren't they pretty?
The dog is a mutt. She's an incredible animal. She actually belongs to my ex. She's one of 3 dogs from the same litter that I raised, BUT everytime my ex came over, she went nuts. Like she was attached to him in some way. When I moved, I told him he had to take her because I could only take 2 dogs and he did. That dog is incredibly loyal to him in a very strong and almost psychic way. I know that sounds strange, but I've never seen anything like it.
Anyhow, I could tell you many stories about Clara (the dog). She has figured out how to get into child-proof cabinet locks (ex had to install them because when he left for work, she got into mischief -- she's 10 years old).
The rats.... we have 3. They normally stay in their cages because, yes, they will chew things up. But they are SO sweet!! My 2 other dogs aren't as gentle with the rats as Clara is (Clara actually plays with the rats), so they don't get out much.
I also have 3 mice. It is really interesting to observe the social and nesting skills of rodents. It's very obvious why they are such a nuissance in the wild! LOL.
My dogs are my sweeties, though, Clara's sister Izzi, and her half-brother, Fluffer. I'll try and post some pictures of them later.
BTW, love your doggie pics and your stories. I couldn't imagine a life without my animals. :-)
How could you know they were a kid's feet just

LOL !...Not only her feet.......nm

Maybe they just want to do something different w/o you this time and she doesn't want to hurt you

Had my feelings hurt, how to handle?
About a week ago my elderly aunt called and told me she was having problem with her scalp, asked what did I think she should do, dermatologist she asked. Told her I would be happy to check on an ole timey medicine to apply to scalp, used for daughter before and worked. Distributor no longer made but phamacist suggested something else. I took to her and did not want money for it and told her so. Today I get the cost of the medicine back and then she goes on to say what a terrible smell, stung when she first put it on (says so on the directions which I am sure she read), awful smell, could not go out anywhere, had to wash her hair, just terrible putrid smell. Now, except for a doctors visit every one in awhile, she does not go out and that is not every week. I did this out of kindness and now I feel hurt, not only about her returning the money but most of all how she went on and on and on about how she could not use. She is not senile, has plenty of sense, although elderly still drives and no kind of problems except I think she was kinda rude to me. Any ideas? Should I say something, let it go, not involve myself any more??
DH and I saw the crane and were wondering if any one had gotten hurt!!! nm
xx
I'd say she has been hurt badly and deeply
besides having a questionable upbringing. It has been shown you can even be raised weird and still have great qualities - something happened to push those natural feelings towards other human beings way down inside her. If it were me - I would just kind of detach myself from her as she will most likely not change and you will grow to become bitter and you cannot change her. You are not going to get what you need as a friend from her. Sorry also about your son. Hugs!!
Ouch! I'll say they hurt!
I've played paintball and it hurts through several layers of clothing. 
I don't know what the problem is either. My kids definitely have more stuff than I ever did. We got cable TV when I was in high school in 1983 and thought I had died and gone to heaven. Who knows what is going through their minds, but thank goodness for MY good kids, too.
Dang, I wondered why it hurt so much
sharper scissors, huh?
My shoulders and elbows hurt...anyone else have
Ok, a little background. I recently started a second job. I am working approximatley 12-14 hours a day (typing and other MT stuff). I have recently lost over 60 pounds. Over the weekend, I did raise my chair up some and that did seem to help, (I guess some of that 60 pounds was the big pillow I was sitting on!)but I still have some pain. Does anyone else experience this? If so, what did you do to help. I am 28, so I hope it isn't arthritis or anything yet! I am not a medicine taker and don't want to start taking anti-inflammatories or anything every day yet.
Thanks!
Honestly, it would hurt my feelings...
I've always had a key to my parents' house and if they asked for it back, it would hurt my feelings. It's kinda like saying you're not welcome here. Every time my parents move, they have extra keys made for me and my siblings, and it makes me feel like the door is always open. I live less than a mile away from them, but I make sure to always call before I come over. You might want to explain why you took the key from your son and make sure he didn't take it the wrong way and that he's still welcome to come back just to make sure he's okay with it.
I don't let people hurt my feelings any more sm
Was told years ago by a very good psychiatrist that we can control this ourselves - it is all about expectations. We let them hurt us - you had a higher expectation of her and when she did not deliver - she hurt you - so lower your expectation - realize she is weird (!!) that it was rather insulting - but don't let it hurt your feelings - and move on!! Kind of confusing I know - but it works
Down booties or something for the feet?
For someone who is on her feet all day long
how about a gift cert for a pedicure. She would get a foot massage, pedicure, and a back massage if they have those magic finger chairs.
That is 5 feet 4 inches. nm

Happy Feet
My daughters just got done watching it. They loved it. From what I saw in between working it was a cute movie. But you're right, isn't it great to not have to pay for a rental, especially if the movie ends up being a dud? Better than paying the $8.75 at the theaters too.
I have a cat that does that!!!!! Jumps up to 6 feet
nm
All I know is of course they have to wash their feet
because they sure "stepped in ****" when they came to this country! :)
I am 5 feet 2-1/2 inches. nm

First time I saw that was on Six Feet Under. Now

Stinky feet!
Help, hubbie's feet stink and not just normal sweaty stink, but really bad! He woke up this morning with feet very red on the bottom and when he stepped on the wood floor he said they felt like they were sticking, not like sweat but like something oozing from them. Sorry for the graphic description, but we can't figure out what it might be. Anyone with any thoughts or suggestions on what he should do would be appreciated. I, of course told him he should go to the doctor, but he is a man and is very stubborn about this unless he is dying! I should note he has a cyst on one foot that he refuses to seek treatment for because he does not want to take the time off of work as he will ultimately have to have it removed surgically, but could this be part of the problem and why both feet now?
TIA
