    How yesterday I saw an older lady 70ish wearing those leotard tights and some vintage hightop black Converse Chuck Taylor sneakers. They caught my eye and i complimented her on them...she was flattered then went on to tell she wore them because she hurt her ankle and that her daughter didn't like them. This turned into a 5 minute conversation at a mall stop sign.

    I told her wore the same as a younster in Boston in the early 70's...hers though was doubled laced and she bought them from Marshall's for $30 mine in the 70's $8.50-$9.50

    She loved her sneakers...I said goodbye with a wink she blew me a kiss...made my day. :D:D

    Peace

    Should not have gotten a C on a test I just got back. I've attended every lecture, done all the assignments and readings, but just second guessed myself on parts of this test. SO FRUSTRATING!

    :( So sorry, that bites. I used to always hear 'go with your first answer'....I learned in latter biology classes that this theory is faulty. :lol:

    :lol: Definitely doesn't work in all cases! But definitely upset over this. And not something that I can argue for points back, either. Going to talk to my professor anyway, see if there is any way I can scrounge up some points and let her know that I care about wanting to do well.

    Of course!

    That's because I bought an IPad 2 for my mother last week.

    So of course, this week they unveil the IPad 3.

    *sigh*

    Haha, I was just about to come here to muse about whether I should get "The New iPad". I really want one and I don't have a good reason to.

    OMG so sick!!! :sick:
    The thing I like most about time is that it's not real. It's all in the head. Sure, it's a useful trick to use if you want to meet someone at a specific place in the universe and have tea or coffee- but that's all it is- a trick. There is no such thing as the past. It exists only in the memory. There is no such thing as the future. It exists only in our imagination. If our watches were truly accurate, the only thing they would ever say is "Now". That's what time it is. It's "Now". - Damien Echols

    Thanks, the least I can do is try! I think I'm just most upset that I know I should have done better, but I didn't. Not necessarily the fact that is a 'C'....does that make sense? Oh well. I'm probably being too hard on myself due to unbelievable stress. So much work to do, there are not enough hours in the day! Trying to keep that in mind though, Suzie, that before I know it, it will not matter any more! :)

    Absolutely. Not trying to minimize your effort or anything. I used to be so hard on myself on grades but now that I'm working, I realize good grades are only one aspect of what makes you successful in life. And success is so much more than just where you end up job-wise ;)

    Try not to be so hard on yourself, it sounds like you really tried. Just put in your best effort, beating yourself up only makes you feel bad about yourself so there's no sense in that. There are enough people in the world who will do that for you :lol::lol:
