I had two different shoes on - one tan, one black. What to do? But my friend has a worse one. After going to the ladies room her skirt got stuck up into her panty hose so everything was showing in the back. She was out on a street when a guy in a pickup truck alerted her to the mishap.

rent shoe shopping or handbag shopping

Realized something else
I called those phone sex numbers again and went through the menu. They are actually datelines where you record your own little greeting and then chat with someone in your area. Just something else to make it even worse.
I just realized that!
Just yesterday I typed up a report in which the patient refused to be weighed! I thought, Jeez, why have I been obediently getting on the scale every time they tell me! Next time they say "You can get on the scale", I'll say, "No, thank you."
Ha! I feel so empowered!
Yup! I have finally realized it! SM
It's funny because she will always call or instant message my husband or I whenever she needs something! Just a few weeks ago, out of the blue she called and asked if my husband could take her to Home Depot to get some materials because they wouldn't fit in her car and we have a big mini van with a roof rack. I told him not to do it because she is just using us! It's so annoying!
The same thing happened to us when we got our new plasma TV last year! She came over and saw it and said, "Oh I heard those things don't last too long." She always has some sort of rude comment whenever she is jealous! I'm so done with her!
Also, she wanted me to try to get her son's girlfriend a job in transcription. She thought she could do it just because she could "type really fast." I told her that there was no way she would be able to do it if she doesn't have the proper training to learn all of the medical terminology, drug names, etc. Her response was, "Oh, she doesn't need that. She can type as fast as you!" I guess she really is just a jealous, disrespectful person! The sad thing is, she is much older than me! I'm 26 and she is in her 40s! Amazing!
I recently realized
that I cannot compare my family to my husbands. It's hard when you grow up with such different values focusing on basic things like the importance of family and relationships.
MIL was recently in the hospital with heart concerns and they just dropped her off and went home. This is the 3rd time her husband has done this. Atleast this time he called the children. It is beyond me why one of her 3 boys (or their spouses) did not make the 15 minute drive to go sit with her. I would have but I was working and figure if out of all those people no one else could make the effort, why should I turn my life upside-down to do it. I can't imagine anyone in my family doing that, even if it was something routine or scheduled. My sister is the one who told me to let it go.
Because I realized it was a bad decision to move here (sm)
I had just had a C-section, we lived in an apartment. He insisted that he do the house hunting. I was at home with my newborn and my c-section recovery. He fell in love with this house and told me all that we were going to do with it. I was worried the road might be too busy but he assured me it was not. I agreed. Then when I realized that I had to have room darkening shades on the windows at night to keep out the car lights and run a fan all night to drown out car noises, and that he wasn't going to fix the termite-eaten pantry or the sagging floor, yeah, I wanted to move. If you call that selfish then you come live here.
I thought of that initially too, but then I realized just
how diabolical we women can be. Maybe she wrote the thank you note because she wanted to plant the seed, to shake it a up a bit because she's hoping the guy will leave the wife for her. She can then always feign innocent to the guy when she gets upset at her for sending the thank you note. "Oh, I just assumed your wife knew about the tip because you wrote a check, so I was trying to cover for you."
My ex's mistress called my home phone to thank me for letting him help her move with his truck. She was a friend of the wife of one of his friends. My ex's explanation was "oh, my buddy just talked me into to helping him help a 'friend' move. I had no idea it was a woman. I just got roped into it." Whatever! She was leaving her husband and he helped her move out! Little did the dumb broad know what I had written a suspicious phone number down off my ex's cell phone and when she called my home phone number, that number popped up. She was too stupid to use a different phone or call anonymously! I knew I had him caught.
One other thing I would do, is talk to her ex-husband. Find out why they divorced. Lucky for me my ex's dumb broad had an angry estranged husband who was looking for revenge. He was more than happy to fill me in on everything he knew that had been going on.
It may be that your husband has actually physically betrayed you yet and I hope that's the case for you. But still you need to address his deceit and inappropriate behavior.
In reading my post over, I just realized...
She probably didn't mean anything by it, but if it was meant to be rude, why should I even waste my time on the negativity? I have more important things to spend my time on :) I guess I just posted to help me feel better at the time because I was a little upset as I was surprised and didn't really understand it. Anyway, it isn't really worth my time and shouldn't really matter, and negative people really aren't worth time and energy I don't have to spend on them. Time to go back to work :) Goodnight....
I just realized that they are all lined up in order of their ages!
Max is the oldest (the one on the far left), and he will be 6 on Christmas day. Bailey (middle) just turned 4 this past summer, and scooter (end) just turned 2 this summer.
Sorry again - I just realized you were replying to a message from me, not "me"
Boy, this can get confusing. I thought you were replying to my message. Sorry for the confusion.
When I realized while dating what lousy taste he had, I started buying my own gifts. Been doing it
s
Shopping
No, no Christmas shopping here. We are Jewish so that would be kind of weird. :) Channukah a minor Jewish holiday, and celebrated quietly in our home with small gifts each night for the little one (she's 4) and the other two (15 and 17), they get one medium to large gift (i.e. ipod, dvd player.)
I'm glad I don't have to deal with all the "hoopla" that seems to surround Christmas. How do you all focus on the meaning of your holy day with all the..stuff??..that seems to go along with Christmas?
Well, not actually shopping but tell you what I have done
I am on a mission and I mean get on the train or get left behind. I have the dinner for everyone here this year. I have painted rooms, bought new furniture, had new tile put in 3 rooms, getting new counters for my kitchen, got new carpet put in master bedroom and closet, bought new China for the dinner- I started all this in January knowing full well what I wanted to accomplish. I am an Aries and believe me when I tell you, I want things done yesterday. I should have all I want accomplished by that time. I have a honey-do list for hubby- he has put off a few things but better get with the program.
No - she went shopping.
She's a shopper. :oD
But she can also wear it to a Renaissance Fair. Not sure if this is the one she goes to, but something like this.

Shopping
As a good start to ending this bad habit, maybe you could return some of the outfits that have the tags on and just keep one as that "someday" outfit.
As far as food, do you make a list when you go out shopping? Maybe you could make a budget/grocery list and do your food shopping that way. It may be easier for you to control your bad habit if you go this route.
Hope some of these ideas help you.
mystery shopping
 Mystery shopping...Has anyone taken part in any of these jobs with a reputable company?
Mystery Shopping
How are you paid? Is it a reimbursement thing? Also, did you pay a membership fee? Thanks!
re:mystery shopping
I belonged to a few. I rarely did the shops. Some only pay like 10 or 20 dollars. Some are not fun. Many were too far away. And a lot of gas stations for some reason, for example you had to take pictures with a digital camera of the inside if they had a store, certain areas outside, the bathroom, etc. One was a vacuum shop - I don't even remember what that one entailed, didn't do it. The restaurant ones are nice, free meal for 2 usually, but of course not too many of those! Free membership for the ones I joined. Definitely not a dream job to make lots of money. Could be interesting though and get you out of the house.
Do your shopping online.
I've been doing all my Xmas shopping online for 6 years now. Way better than dealing with the crowds at malls and stores.
secret shopping
Do you make pretty good money doing this? Is it worth taking the time or do you just do it for fun? I went to the website you listed and am seriously considering joining...more info would be very much appreciated...
Internet shopping
Does anyone else who works from home use the internet for most of their shopping or to surf the web during work? I had a MT service owner who complained to me that he had a hard time getting his "girls" to work since implementing the internet - that they spent their work time on QVC or HSN. I never thought about going to other sites (other than for references) while working, but apparently this is a big pull for some of us - I just can't imagine having time to shop while trying to work.
I'd take a friend shopping with you.
She can help you try new things that you might not think to. I did this for a friend and she got a bigger reaction than the bride, LOL. Okay, that's because she'd lost 100 lbs, but everybody was excited about the dress we chose. She hadn't lost all her weight yet, and she might have rejected the dress just because a back slit showed her calves, which looked wonderful, but she didn't know it. Then we picked out jewelry. A salesman was also very helpful. She was stunning and it was so much fun.
Well, I have a large shopping bag (sm)
hanging in the spare room closet and have about 4-5 little stocking stuffers already purchased and in there. Does that count?
Going to shopping at IKEA
so we can start organizing my daughter's unbelievably messy room
Mattress shopping
Anyone have an opinion? Pillow top? Memory foam? I currently have moderately priced pillow top that I bought last winter that just goes on top of the mattress. I have been able to fluff it up until just recently, but there doesn't seem to be any more fluffing to be done.
Mattress shopping
Hi, had a pillow top (trying to give away, are you close) and husband hated it. I liked the snuggling sensation but he just complained and complained. Finally had to shut him up and bought a standard mattress. UGH Kept the mattress in a latex wrap the entire time, it is looking for a new home before going to the dump.
Christmas Shopping
If anyone here is interested in some fun Christmas shopping with an MT who has a store on eBay, please use this web address to go right to my ebay store: sallyglamourgirl.com
If you buy anything from me either in the store or at regular auction and let me know you're from this board I'll give you 15% off! Happy Holidays! Love being an MT for over 13 years, but also love eBay:):):)
Agree! Won't see me shopping on any Fri. or Sat. until after

Has anyone gone shopping yet today?
It is 8:00 a.m. EST and I have not yet attempted to even go shopping. I usually love the day after Thanksgiving. But I don't really even feel like going... Maybe it is that we have less money this year with the price of gas going up.  Maybe I ate too much turkey... I really do want to get that "excitement" of looking forward to this crazy Black Friday, but all I feel like doing is cleaning the house.  Anybody else feel like this? And if you are having a great time today, please explain so I can get some of that Holiday spirit! Thanks in advance. 
No shopping today
 However I did notice the malls are opening at 4:00 a.m. (??) and I think my daughter is going. I don't intend to go anywhere near there this weekend! Probably just to to the movies and chill out at home with my dog! (and try to get over eating too much 7 layer salad on Thanksgiving!)
NYC. Best shopping in the world.

Tax free shopping
Thanks for the information. I haven't checked yet to see if NY is included, but I know we do have them every year. We usually go, we have what I think is a higher tax than most states. I know the poster below equated it to shopping the day after Thanksgiving, but I love it. I find it challenging and for me it's the start of Christmas shopping for the family.
I do some mystery shopping. sm
http://www.checkmarkinc.com

These are the ones I contract for. I could be out and about every single day if I took all of the jobs they assign.
Thank you - we will be out shopping this weekend - nm
.
But if I go shopping after eating,
I'm full, nothing sounds good, and I end up with no food!
holiday shopping
Did anyone see on the news the WalMart employee trampled to death by the mob storming the place when the doors opened? What a sad commentary that is on society. I will be saying a prayer for this person's family.
Speaking of shopping........
Anyone remember how the old stores were when there were 'Main Streets'? Remember the wood floors and the merchandise in wooden bins on tables? Remember the cookies and candy they sold that was all encased in glass? No escalators, and only the best stores had elevators? Elevators with a man asking 'what floor'?, elevators that creaked and had criss cross bars across the front, instead of doors that closed? Evening in Paris perfume for our mom's at Christmas, Old Spice or hankies with his initial on them for dad? Remember when all you could use was cash? And of course, those wonderful lunch counters? I remember one of them sold sardine sandwiches! Anyone remember?
Shopping at Walmart
We shop at Walmart every week. Everything is much cheaper there and as the other poster said, I go there to save money. Our store is clean and the people are friendly. There is a Target directly across the street from our Walmart and there is hardly ever anyone there and the Walmart parking lot is mobbed.
Anyone started their Xmas shopping yet?
I was at the mall last night and noticed how every store already has their Christmas decorations up. I hate the Christmas season and love it at the same time. I love the beauty of it and hate the commercialism and stressing about what to buy as gifts. Besides, my kids have everything they could possibly need anyway ! 
Mystery shopping companies
 Mystery shopping...Has anyone done any work with reputable mystery/secret shopping companies???
Tip for day after Thanksgiving shopping deals....sm
check stores on-line as a lot of them are having on-line specials that are as good if not better than in their stores. For example, I bought a 32 inch LCD TV with dual tuner, extended warranty for 2 years, free shipping and grand total with tax of $717 - on-line offer only, on a major chain's website. Happy shopping!
What is your cell phone co.? I'm shopping around sm
Our family uses TracFone. My daughter is trying to convince me to go to something different. I need to keep costs down, but would like any info on something that includes texting and some free anytime calls. What are your experiences and what does it cost you a month for a family plan? Thanks.
grocery shopping with kids
I used to go to the frozen food section first, grab a box of popsicles and give them each one. It kept them happy and more importantly kept them from screaming because they had to eat those popsicles fast before they melted!
Nope, the shopping can bring you down if (sm)
you go to the wrong place and the people are grumpy.
I normally kind of like to see the people out and feel like I'm participating in something big, I don't get married to the idea of getting a lot of stuff, and today I was glad I didn't, because I got up and went to Kohl's (5 mins from my house) to get an item I saw in the flyer and couldn't find it! Searched all over the store. Then I realized the checkout lines were by this time all the way to the back of the store and I thought, eh, heck with it, and went back home!
I did try to smile at the other folks I saw, and I tried to think of just being out in the nice clear cold morning for a change as I'm not typically a willing early riser. Got to see the morning star and all that.
Hope you're able to find your happy place today!
I did black Friday shopping ONCE and never again.
I had three young kids in tow, which was my first mistake. It was OK. We did have fun with all the little freebies and eating breakfast out. However, the crowds and rudeness just ticked me off. The stores are always out of the good deals by the time we get there. The rest of the deals are no better than I can find any other day. And the people shoving each other around just to get something free, which most of the stores don't give nice freebies any more anyway. We usually never have money at Thanksgiving either.
It's snowing here today, so I'm in homebody cleaning mode, too. I've got a fridge full of leftovers from turkey day. The kids are playing board games and DH is puttering around the house. They're playing Christmas music on the stereo. I've got plenty of extra work I'm doing to earn money for Christmas. Yes, it's a good day to be home.
Actually going house shopping on Sunday
Buying a new house!
Copying to shopping list...
Especially this first one, Beef & Cheese Lasagna. I'm sure I'll be using the 'leftovers' as well, but when I read this one, I was really sorry I didn't have more time and all the ingredients. Thanks for this one!
PS Everyone intesterested in mystery shopping. I never come sm
to this board, in fact this is my first time in months, so just know that if you have anymore questions after the one I answered below this it probably won't get answered and it's not okay to email me about this because the only email I have is used for work. Sorry!
I like to get my Christmas shopping done early.
So, I am happy to see it out early.
How terrible that you would feel that way -- Halloween wasn't out yet (which is not an ongoing gift-giving, love-based holiday) and you are irritated over that while Christmas was.
Shaking my head over that.
