Keep at it Lousie. They may just give up ... eventually.
Harper's Birthday - Part 6!
Call me a cynic. Weeds never give up.
Gallant soldiers - that's a name for a kind of weed, right? Well, Louise, if you think a lapel pin would inspire a little more respect for the lady of the house, I say "go for it', it's worth a try!
Do they still make panty hose - and if so, why?
Harper, you are a realist, not a cynic! We've had to even mow part of our meadow because we saw some of the soldiers marching on to war there too. Once the flowers come.....Poof! there you have about 2,000 little new ones to fight.
Happy Birthday, Harper!
I hope you are getting some of this morning's glorious rain!
Happy Father's Day birthday, Harper!
Happy Day-After-Father's-Day birthday, Harper!
Rain for you this morning?
He he... thanks for the Father's Day wishes. I think...?
Good question Michaela about the pantyhose. How come some of us still wear tights? Why are they not the same?
I think tights are, uh, looser? Not quite so constricting?
Pantyhose are supposed to look like your legs - you can see through them. Tights are usually more opaque and/or a different color.
It's different with little girls, transitioning to big girls/little tweens (of course I have to shave my legs Mom, I'm 11!), to little teenagers ..... you get the idea. My girls (14 and 17) would rather not wear them (pantyhose), and you're right, they do wear tights for the fashion or the color.
i won't wear ones that are supposed to look like my legs. But i am weird. i also wear plenty of cheap silly jewelry (thank heavens for Claire's), but won't wear anything fake gold or silver.
Claire's and the other store. (What's it called?) Harper, they're having lightning for your Birthday!
Well, don't get your panty(hose) in a twist over it. I mentioned Spanx, which are very hot here in Atlanta and everywhere else. Check them out (Google). They are, in my, opinion a cool fashion accessory and not a necessity as hose were "back n the day".
L
Spanx is the most wonderful invention ever!!
My sister swears by them. Would you believe, though, that I don't own any? I have been waiting for some time, and now that you have reminded me, Laurel, I am just gonna have to order some for myself.
I like Claire's too. They're like a candy store.
Spanx. I looked them up. They're pantyhose with no foot? I don't get it. What's so special about them? Fill me in please!
They also hold you in where you want to be held in.
Check out QVC, too.
Aren't they like a kinder, gentler girdle? (Seems like a contradiction in terms!)
i think some spanx have feet. They are all supposed to have magical properties of slimming.
I don't have any, but they are supposed to be the "it" thing and purported to be comforting rather than constricting. I like the calf ones and think they're sexy. If I was younger, I think those would look very cool with short skirts and wedged shoes.
My DD is very practical and not into fashion statements. Not so with me at the same age (and for years there after).
L
I WISH my DDs were more practical and less fashionable. I don't think they're fashionable myself, but they may think so, I guess.
Oh, slimming properties. Now that makes sense.
I'll take anything that helps and makes sense.
Candyce - you do NOT need slimming properties, so I'll take your share! LOL
Hey, Happy Hot and Sultry Birthday, Harper!
LOL!
Thank you for the compliment, Louise. Just don't ask me to wear a bathing suit.
Guess what everyone! I got 2 kittens! Yikes! and Oh boy!
You went out and got them, or your cat delivered them? Either way that's VERY exciting!
I went out and got them. Haven't ever had a momma cat except when we had outdoor cats as kids.
Oh, Harper! They are so adorable! I could just reach through the screen and tickle their ears!
Congrats Harper!! They are so cute!!!!! Names??
I love 'em! They must be so much fun. I miss having a cat. Might be time again....
I have to wait until DD#2 (now 14) leaves home and DH stops making jokes about catapaults and catastrophes.
I love kitties! Yours are so cute, Harper.
Happy kittens-birthday Harper!
So cute!
There is a woodpecker outside my window in a nearby tree this morning. I could swear that he is tapping out "Happy Birthday, Harper", in woodpecker code!
No names yet, but we're getting closer. Just about nearly named them "Mojo" and "Jojo" Yikes! I have one boy and one girl.
Harper, I've read that naming your animals names that are too similar in sound can cause confusion in training. That being said, you can have a cat that is following the Way and call it Dojo. Very cute kittys. We have two also, a boy and a girl, Romeow and Purrl. Both rescues.
