Is it creepy that all this egg donor talk makes me want eggs for breakfast? Yeah, probably creepy. Probably shouldn''t have posted that...


Morning, ladies! Happy Friday.

LOL

It happens!

My head is somewhere else today. I have no idea how I''m going to make it through the day.

 

[CNOS128]

My head is on the beach, under an umbrella, with a fancy tropical drink.

Too bad my body is on its way to an over-air-conditioned office . . .



ETA: What did people do to distract themselves before there was The Internet?

I honestly think people worked! Or gabbed at the watercooler...

I have extra sweaters on-hand at work because it''s so over air-conditioned.

Can I just mention how happy it makes me to hear the dishwasher and the washing machine going? It''s getting hit on the head with modern culture in full glory. I love sitting here typing while all this work is going on

Hehehehehe. I love that too.

 

[Lauren8211]

I want this dress... but its not in my size!

 

[CNOS128]

Super cute! But oh-so-short! Nice summer color, though!!

(You're tall, right? I'm 5'9"ish and I find that when dresses look like that on the model, they are scandalously short on me.)



ETA: err, I guess, given her shiny complexion, she's probably a mannequin, not a model...

LOL.. yeah. she''s a mannequin.

I''m 5''10" so yeah I''m pretty tall. I hate that even slightly short dresses make me look like a hooker. It''s not fair! I mean I know long legs are supposed to be nice but man can they be a burden at times!

Inappropriate jokes are good for the soul. (But not on Pricescope. Nope.)

Morning my lovelies...

Big, I have no idea. Just thinking about working at my current job w/out the internet puts the FEAR into me.

BUT, I have the day off!!!!!!!!!! Little bit overcast in NY, but I might have to go to the beach anyway.

Why is that? Short dresses always look so good on short women...or on the 5'11ers on TV. I put one on, and even though I have been told my legs are really nice, I still feel hookerish. I love being tall but sometimes I think it would be so fun to be little.

I always tell people I wish I was 3 inches shorter. They think I''m crazy!

I always wish I was 2-3 inches taller.... lets switch!

 

[Miscka]

Morning ladies!

I TOTALLY want to be short. I hate that I can never feel little and "cute".

YES!

UGH! I thought I was the only tall woman who felt that way!

 

[Miscka]

Nope. I have a total complex about it sometimes. My DH''s ex is 5''0'''' on a good day, and that bugs the crap out of me! LOL. No one gets that.

Although, not going to lie, I love me some good heels.

(I assume you mean 6''0"

)

Yeah, i''m 5''10" and FI is just under 6. I love heels, and can''t wear them. It''s awful.

I slouch a lot to feel shorter, but then you just look fatter. You can''t win.

haha aww
my ex was exactly my height... 5''6 and when I wore heels (and I wear HEELS) I towered over him.
it felt so awkward

 

[princesss]

I wish I was 5''7". That''s the perfect height. You can wear heels, you don''t look like a skank in shorter dresses, and you don''t have to search for long lengths in jeans. Stupid 5''10" body. M is 6'' and so he looks like a shrimp when I wear heels (and I looooooove heels). But yeah, it bugs me that I never get to feel small, too. Sometimes when M wears his work boots before he goes out to do yardwork or tear down chicken coops for his dad, he is tall, and I take my shoes off and hug him and pretend that I''m short.

And Topo, that sounds great! That part of town is adorable. I just went there for the first time the other week for my friend''s cookout, and I fell in love. Zada Jane''s it is!

 

[CNOS128]

Yeah, I always felt so shallow when I was dating and quickly eliminated everyone shorter than I am. (When you''re dating Jewish guys, that doesn''t leave much!)

LOL! I''ve done that too. It feels nice.

CK - Yeah, I''d never date a shorter guy!

TheBigT- LOL! That was the reason I gave when my mom asked why I never date a nice Jewish boy. They''re all shorter than me!

I used to live in Asia. It was SO HARD to find somebody taller than me. My rule was I wouldn''t date anybody more than an inch shorter than I am. Even that was tough.

Ohhh I can only imagine!! My friend lived in China for a year and she said she couldn''t even find clothes to fit her!!

So she had them made.

Were you studinyg in Asia, or working, or just living?

 

[princesss]

I went to middle school in Thailand and high school in Singapore. My dad''s in shipping, so we moved all over the place. I''ve never actually lived in one place longer than 4 years.

That must have been a great experience! Did you pick up any other languages along the way? Do you think you''ll live abroad again someday?
