What kind of shoes should I get?

I’m starting my junior year in High School in a week and I have no shoes!! I live in flip flops over the summer, but I can’t wear them to school. My style is trendy but laid back. Some days I feel like wearing heels and super chic jeans, other days I feel like wearing jeans and an old tee shirt.
I’m girly but I find that I’m drawn to more tom boyish shoes. I want a pair of Converse Chuck Taylors, but my mom says they aren’t practical and won’t go with everything. She says canvas shoes aren’t good in rain. But I like canvas flats like that. Like Keds or along those lines.
I don’t know what kind of shoes to get. Please help me and direct me to stores to look at!!!!!!!

How to dress for the Great British summer?

I live in Scotland, and it appears to be a little more wet here than anywhere else at the moment! Maybe that’s just my imagination…
However, summer weather seems to have ended even though supposedly it IS still summer! When it was sunny I bought summer skirts, flowery dresses, playsuits and sandals. I want to know if anyone has any tips for ‘warming up’ those outfits through the rain? Any cute jackets or shoes I should be looking out for? It’s definitely NOT time to be dressing for winter already so I want to look summery, but not get drenched in the weather!
Help!

can you please explain this cartoon?

Why do all men coddle all women and why do all women abuse all men?

http://www.frederica.com/writings/men-protecting-women.html

Showing how even the lives of teenage boys are valued less. I have never seen a woman die for a man the way that reporter did.

“I don’t believe a man should ever yell at a woman

Nor have I ever seen a woman do the protective things men do for wives, and even friends such as giving up seats(and standing uncomfortably on buses for hours), getting the car in the rain,giving up jackets, carrying heavy objects, walking home, driving her home, calling a cab to take her home safely, carrying her when she falls down , calling to make sure she got home safely, holding doors, paying, walking street side and positioning himself in between her and any vicious dog or threat.

Apparently women should DEMAND respect from men. Mothers should be dominating figures in their son’s lives.

“Joyce Hamilton Berry, Ph.D., a clinical psychologist in the Washington, D.C.-area, says the best way for a mother to teach her son to respect women is by demanding respect herself. “Demand that he carry packages and groceries, that he open doors for you and other women,” says Dr. Berry. “Teach him to speak to women with respect and not call them names… If a man loves, respects and reveres his mother, then most likely he will treat his woman the same way. If it’s a healthy relationship with his mother, that’s good. How much is too much depends on how the mother parents.”"

Even when a son gets older he will be expected to check ncted to check on the noise and risk his life for his motherwhile the same doesn’t apply to father daufhdoes not apply to fathers and daughters not to mention daughters get more money spend, more money left to them,get more love, have less responsibility,are allowed to live at home, receive no punishment for hitting brothers, are not expected to take care of parents and recieve more comfort and leeway when it comes to anything.

I can bet she is not going to tell dads to encourage daughters to cook, take care of him and take care of sick family members and clean.

quotes such as this show how lazy women are

“I know for a fact that if anything gross, disgusting or dirty has to be done, my husband, no questions asked, is going to do it. There’s never an argument over who’s going to go outside and shovel the driveway or who’s going to change the oil, or the tire. I can guarantee if anybody ever needed to kill anything or venture into a potentially spider infested crawl space, it wouldn’t be me. Not because I’d refuse….I’d never have to. If there’s anything repugnant to be done, my husband does it. I have at times volunteered, because I know he’d never ask me to, but he says no. Not because he want to do it, but because he takes care of and protects his wife and children, self-sacrificing in the way that man have done for ages.’”

from dumpyourwifenow.com

Even in relationships a man gives more massages, gives up his jacket, gets the car when its raining, gives up shoes if hers breaks, gives up food, gives up the safer car, gives up the health insurance, checks on the noise downstairs, drive in unsafe conditions, gives up his umbrella, gives up his seat, has security systems installed for her, walks her home, drives her home, calls her a cab, gives more in general, calls to make sure she got home safe, comes over in the middle of night to take care of her, does more to cheer her up, carries her heavy packages, picks her up form the bus station at night,saves her and her car from a ditch, makes her feel safe, carries her when she falls down. He is more likely to step in between her and vicious dog or take a bullet for her than vice versa. He gets a vasectomy so she can avoid a tubal( vasectomies are safer the tubals but a vasectomy carries the risk of YEARS of discomfort and pain(what type of woman would let a man risk that)-one guy said even if it was more unsafe he would still take the pain for his wife-no woman thinks like that).

Forget about how he is emotionally stronger, her emotional protector and her rock. Women are more work to deal with and men give more compassion, comfort , care and strength. Men are the nurturers not women.

Lets not even go into financial support.

Women whine more when sick and have more sexual partners and have less sympathy for their man when he is sick.’

I doubt a woman has even put a blanket or towel over her man. Women don’t share any food(chocolate, wine, steak whatever),give less than they get

“Men have it harder.

I have more respect for men, since men are the ones that have to do the asking out, whether he’s shy or not. Men are the ones that have to deal with rejection. Women are the ones that get all the privileges and everything cater to them. Women get laid easily while men have to work for it. It’s not a gender-related reason why I have more respect for men — I have more respect for people that have to work harder f
for something, regardless of gender. And women get handouts and a pass in life in many areas that men do not.

And what emmarge said — men have made greater contributions to society throughout history, than women. Men are responsible for virtually all of the great inventions.”

Women CAN NOT handle being men. Even this woman admits it is harder to be a man.

“Vincent laments the toll the collective pressures – to be strong, to be stoic, to win – take on the masculine psyche. Indeed at the end of the book she reveals how much the effort involved in maintaining the “Ned” disguise has worn her down. In her case, of course, the assumed persona is more at odds with her authentic self than the front put on by a typical straight biological male.
. Vincent emerges from her exhausting impersonation with greater compassion towards males and a palpable sense of relief at not having to bear their considerable burdens in her everyday life.”

”

One thing in which I delighted was the sense of sympathy for men. She does so in a non-condescending, observant manner which endeared Vincent to the reader. She writes in awe and pity of the difficulty men face living up to society’s high expectations. I too consider myself a feminist but this book revised my way of thinking. Previously, I looked at my male coworkers’ mobility in the workforce with such envy and admittedly, begrudgment. Coupled with their impression of career equalling self worth, however, I wouldn’t trade my gender for the world. Nora Vincent’s frustration of picking up women in bars also proved thought-proviking. While men grow accustomed to rejection and being sized up in a two-second glance by the other gender, I can’t think of too many women (if any) who wouldn’t go home
(if any) who wouldn’t go home in tears at similar treatment. If every man treated me similar to how I treated a man in a bar, I would be crushed. Haven’t all women been guilty of the sly eye-roll at the less-than-attractive man who merely wants to buy us a drink?”

“Men she points out have to take more risks of rejection than women can fathom.”

If a man was slapped by a woman in public no woman would attack his abuser or call the cops. This man stepped in to save a woman who was slapped by her bf on the train. I bet no woman would called the cops or step in if a woman did that. When a woman embarrasses a man in public in any way everybody cheers.The vice versa never occurs.

There is a gap between males and females. As someone else on this site phrased it-there is a compassion gap. Men protect women, women abuse men.

Women can slap men, throw drinks, use men for free drinks and call them names. I have NEVER seen this pig headed behavior in men.
“If i ever make the mistake of unjustly slapping a man, I would expect him to regain his respect by kissing me long and hard instead. Men lose more respect when they see and treat the girl as just another animal.”

DISGUSTING. She hits him and wants affection in return and says men are just animals.
Even in a “good” marriage if the wife slapped himonce and most likely has she was forgiven vice versa does not apply.

Women are allowed to have male friend, go out dancing with men when married. They have more sexual partners, are forgiven for drunken infidelity and infidelity in general more often than men. They flirt more and are more likely to have done done stuff like threesomes in the past.

Women only abuse men. ““Chivalry is the notion that a man has the duty to respect and serve women.” ”

http://www.cassyfiano.com/2008/12/unsurprising-men-blame-death-of-chivalry-on-radical-feminism

Chivalry is just a means of putting women first. Its opressive to men.I have never seen a woman put a man first, be more emotionally protective, be equally protective of his safety and be more loving , giving, caring.

“They want to be loved and cherished, treated as the weaker vessel, put on a pedastal of putting them first.”

She has punched me, kicked me, slapped me, scratched me, pushed me and thrown drinks at me,” says Mike in a bulletin board posting that links from the SAFE site. “I could easily make her the first German satellite, launching her into orbit! I know a few hand and wrist holds that I can usually apply to stop her long enough to run. The thought of hurting a woman makes me sick.”
One night, his wife pulled a knife on him. Mike called the police and his wife was arrested. But he remains married to her, in part for the sake of his infant son.

“She thinks nothing of arguing, yelling and swearing with the baby in her arms. I point out that she shouldn’t do this, but it only makes it worse. I now move through the house in a state of red alert. I sleep in another room with the doors locked.”

“”Many of the things were smashed. He stood the cabinet back up, picked up the TV and went into the kitchen to eat something. Then the phone rang. It was Diane.” Diane told John she was leaving him, taking his son and making sure that John “would never hunt or fish with [the boy] or be a part of his life. ‘I will teach him to hate you,’ she told John.” Corry continues: “The only glue that had been allowing John to continue trying to find a solution was his son. When Diane took that away from him … John lost it.”
Since the TV remote was in his hand, he threw it through the TV. He knocked over a china cabinet and a curio cabinet, “threw a couple things and then collapsed in the middle of the living room and cried.”

The collapse, Corry relates, allowed John to tap into an inner source of strength and “to never allow another person to take so much from him.”

“By publishing this, he hopes other men can learn and escape such horror.”

In the meantime, John says, Diane had called the police. She told them John had gone on a rampage, smashing things in the house. She said he had guns and she feared he would commit suicide. Police surrounded the house. John refused to leave the house unless Diane would come and explain what had happened.

When she arrived and he left the house, he was “immediately swarmed over by a SWAT team, knocked to the ground, kicked and dragged across the parking lot handcuffed.”
He spent the next three days in jail. Diane took out a restraining order. He did not see his son for more than six weeks, and then only saw the boy during supervised visits. Corry writes: “Foolishly, John pled guilty to a charge of criminal mischief and was given a deferred sentence. And finally he had sense enough to get out of the relationship. … Diane filed for divorce.”"

“”When I called a rape hotline, I was laughed at! I feel so worthless and feeble, but mostly humiliated. Yet, I can’t bring myself to try to get out of the relationship for fear of retaliation. My wife claims that, if I try to leave her, she’ll cut me till my blood won’t stop flowing and watch me die.”
One woman, Joannie, posts a story explaining how she became abusive in one instance: “I don’t know what happened. I suppose it all went by too fast. One moment, I was on the verge of leaving and the next, I had lurched my arm back to slug him one in the face, causing massive bleeding at the jaw, then in the chest multiple times. I didn’t stop throwing punches–and even kicked him once–until he fell back against the bed, eyes gone wide … the shock, hurt, then almost disgust, that crossed his face jarred me to the very core.”

In a response to Joannie’s post, another woman attempts to reassure the worried spouse: “You did the right thing, taught him who’s boss. Works with my husband at least. Right on, sister! Don’t feel guilty, feel proud!” ”
Women DISGUST me. They are violent than men. I have never seen a woman be equally or more protective of her husband. Abusive yes.

And no matter how good a woman appears to be she will hurt him when the relationship ends and is always more abusive than her mate.

A woma hits a man he is laughed at, told to take it like a man and suck it up and nothing is done against the woman. man hits woman she is comforted, other men beat him up and the police is called.When will men be comforted after being hit, when will women attack female abusers and when will women call the cops on these female abusers?

Are things better in other countries?
I mean here women even hate to give affection and put his sexual pleasure first, I have never seen a woman who gave more, did her fair share of romance, dates, gift giving(engagment gifts in particular)

Women are forgiven for infedility. in many relationships the woman knows she will be forgiven but would not
forgive him if he cheated. women are forgiven multiple times. if a woman forgives him she usually slaps him first
and controls him after and will constantly bring up his mistake in arguments. a man doesn’t slap a woman who
cheated on him nor does he control her and bring up her mistake in arguments.
I have never seen a relationship where the man was more coddled, protected,loved, held, taken care of,romanced,spoiled,nurtured,came first.

I have never seen a relationship where the woman is less work than the man to deal with,where the man is the weaker one
where the woman is his emotional protector.

honestly women can’t love men. just each other.
“cause its nasty. why would they feel attracted to a guy? guys are not pieces of art, women are. so us women don’t understand, even most men don’t understand these bi or gay men. its disgusting. guys have plain bodies nothing to look at, just that weird looking thing.

if my boyfriend liked men i would thing he has low standards, he would be with anybody if he goes with men. i wouldn’t be with a guy with low standards.

i am sorry for being brutally honest, but thats the truth.”
“I don’t believe a man should ever yell at a woman:

Yea but women can yell right?

Is it Time, Do Women get a Turn at MANY HUSBANDS?, If Biblical Men deserved many wives?, I want 7 Husbands?

Why not?
It is perfectly normal in some countries on this planet and religion supports it so why can’t the women have several husbands?
Times have changed?
So…men still get their many wives…it is common for them to have at least 2!
why is it wrong for me to have 7 husbands?
I need one for everyday of the week because they find it too hard to do the job all by themselves…they might like it?…what if they all want to do it?…Is it against gods law and why?…Why is it okay for a man but not a woman?…We need more help?…We have more needs, we need more sex than one can usually provide and we need more company than one is willing to give and we have more clothes than one can carry for us…?
One husband can mow the lawn as the other one makes me a cup of tea and the 3rd is giving me a foot massage…and why is it wrong?
Number 5 loves to cook and dishes up the most delightful meals but he is not so good in the bedroom, where as number 7 is the best at sexually satisfying me but refuses to take out the trash and in fact…has a phobia about rain getting on his shoes…but number 3, thinks completely on another level altogether…
I need a handful of interesting men to make me feel like the princess that god says i am, so why is it wrong if they all serve a purpose and my heart loves each one of them in a different way?
Why do I have to do it in sin or against the word of God?
God said that men can have as many wives as they need…so why not women?
Women are allowed to work jobs that men usually do, now-days?
Women still have to pay money for everything!
Women are called names if not married and then we are still just a mans baggage or his trouble and strife…why are women being ripped off on this one…why haven’t the laws been changed in our favor on this level?
The only laws changed for us are that men are no longer allowed to rape us or bash us into doing what they say…we still have no right to the same laws that men have had since the beginning of time and every time we stand up and say that we want a slice of that yummy pie…they change the rules and say…sorry but that was yesterday and all you get is crumbs.
Women are still getting ripped off by men on every single level of life?
I’m too old to have more kids and already had five of them…most of my life now is just spent paying for a small box to dwell within and the basic things in life…
I never got a gold watch for raising them kids to adulthood…God never gave me a star for my sacrifices nor my long-suffering and now society says that my sexuality should be out of date and my only pastime become, “Knitting”…
Explain why religions are not doing their best to put a stop to the people who claim traditional cultures allow them to have several wives and why a Lady like me simply has no rite nor right, to marry the 7 men of my choice, this lifetime??
And moving to another country will not give me the right as my skin is white…so no rights here!!!
Thanx 4 the replies…G, um, gee, i never knew how inexperienced i was, until you told me so.
Spank me G…my sex machine won’t be finding any “Breaks due to exposure of friction”..? Or fiction..
Please G, will you be my friend & tell me how 2 entertain men? Will ya G…? Please???
Only one man has put his hand up so far and asked to be my husband… G,…are you God?… Gee God, I thought you knew me so well?
God laughed at me last night and sent me a handmaiden and/or, …a girlfriend of mine ripped of her shirt and walked around topless as she made my coffee “Don’t think I’m lesbian or nothing”, she said…I just told her “You have the tits of a 16 year old girl!”
…(((over 40 & God laughs with us all)))…
I’m doing well with my lifestyle choices!! = LOL!!!((She is married & American))

Rachel from Glee shoes?

in the episode ‘Sectionals’ from glee which was the last episode in the first volume of season one, when they did their final show tunes including Dont Rain On My Parade and You Cant Always Get What You Want, Rachel and the other Glee girls were all wearing shiny black flat shoes, im looking for similar ones to go with my prom dress this year.

I need to be able to purchase them in England or online, so does anyone know of any similar style shoes?
I also need them to be fairly cheap, up to aboyut £30 is the max amount id pay, as ive already dished out quite a bit of money for my dress.

Many thaaanks.

What do you pack on a 3 full day trip to Washington DC?

March 18
For a school trip, so we will be outside walking a lot. They said tennis shoes, but the only tennis shoes I have are my running shoes for cross country. I’m NOT wearing those. Would zip up boots – the kind that you wear over skinny jeans – work? And they said to bring to pairs of shoes because it will probably rain so I would be bringing my converse or ballet flats too. I have no idea what else to bring, though.
Teenage girl by the way!

what can i do to help these dogs?

I have these drugs dealing neighbors who live next door. They have one female pit bull who they breeded and she had 4 puppies.about 8 -9 months ago. They keep their dogs outside on the deck. to guard their weed, and these people only go out on the deck to feed them in the morning ,one pan of food. or to hose the deck down. they never pay any attention to them nor do they take them on walks..They are always yelling at the dogs, to get down!! when they try to jump on them for attention. I had reported them to the animal care and control, for keeping them without shelter in the hot sun last summer ,as they had no place for shade, and for them barking constanly. Last year the animal care people told me that they cited them for not lisencing them or being spayed.. Now the puppies are grown up .the mother dog stays with her 2 pups outside. they still have no shelter, during the rain and freezing cold. These neighbors have been reported for domestic violence, and because the dogs have tried to attack others including me.The animal care and control dept act like theres nothing they can do. I once seen a young teenage girl ,the one who was beaten up by her boy friend, hit one of the dogs in the face with a shoe, but the animal care wouldn’t do anything and they act like i’m just a bother. The neighbors deck is in my back yard and my bedroom window is very near to it. I’m awaken everyday with the dogs whinning and barking, growling etc. I asked the animal care and control if they have have followed up on the dogs getting spayed ,and they won’t tell me., they said if they didnt, spay the dogs , they will get a warrent? Now i see the 8-9 month old
male pitbull puppies humping on their mother, and i guess next spring she will be pregnant again with more pups for them to sell. but these will be her own off spring. I’m so disgusted with the whole problem ,that I have considered moving.Most of my neighbors have also complained..The animal care and control gave me a paper to have them sign. but my neighbors won’t sign it because their afraid. (Theres no Animal police in Santa Rosa ca.) It so Sad, how many animals suffer here..The police here suck too, they don’t do their jobs, I think alot of them are crooks.

How do you prepare your dog for extreme weather outside (rain, snow, high heat, very cold, etc.)?

Do you buy clothes and shoes and that kind of thing? Or do you have some kind of shelter structure similar to a carport? I am just curious, because I am training my dog outside, but my husband argues that during weather like this it will be difficult, so I am trying to figure out a game plan for when it occurs. I live in Oklahoma, so it can go from rainy-to sunny-to snowy here some days. I want to be prepared for Maxie’s sake as well as my own. He is a Maltese and so his fur isn’t very thick and they are prone to being weak to extreme weather. Thanks!
Yes, he is an indoor dog.
And I mean when you take the out to potty, not just taking them out in general. I wouldn’t make my dog go out in the rain or snow just for exercise. We can do that inside on those days.
I’m sorry, I didn’t proofread very well before I posted my question. I am training him to use the bathroom outside. He is primarily an indoor dog, and will never be living outside.

Comment on this proposed plan to crack down on illegal workers that could cost 2% of legal…?

…American workers their jobs.
Our government in action:

http://www.charter.net/news/news_reader.php?storyid=14582859&feedid=14

Do we really want legislation like this that is going to potentially put 2% of legal American workers in a situation where they can no longer keep their current job or get a new one as well?
