The ones to avoid have loose straps that are low on the shoe, close to the toes. They allow maximum, er, "floppage." On the other hand, Leatherman flip flops have a wide band that fits fairly snugly, and they barely make any sound at all when I walk. http://www.cloistercollection.com/leathermanprintshoes.htm

It's a plot. This is what women have sunk to to get men to look at their chest area, puzzling over how they could possibly button something "the wrong way." I have looked into it, I know. -Joe in SoFla "They're such beautiful shirts. It makes me sad because I've never seen such -

Hi y'all, just wondering which stores in Vancouver, BC, Canada has Sex and the City Season 3. I have season's 1, 2, and 4 but I can't find season 3 anywhere. I remember seeing it a few years back at The Real Canadian Superstore and A and B Sound but I was waiting for the price to go down..I don't think it ever did, anyways...now I can't find Season 3, anywhere. Thanks. --

Or maybe it was vice-versa, and men were being dressed by valets. No matter. The point is, one way 'round is easier for the wearer to button, the other is easier for a second person to button. -- Dana W. Carpender

I've got a couple pairs of (100% cotton) jeans I'd like to shrink a bit. I was wondering if anyone had tried both methods and could share some knowledge with me. Also, I live in a tiny apartment and have no bathtub, can the bathtub method be approximated in a stand-up shower stall? Thanks, Joe

Well, I am finally going somewhere exciting! ITALY! for about 2 weeks!! Any recs on must sees? My boyfriend says we must go through Rome and Venice...shopping?? Kelly

Saw an item (household appliance) on walmart.com that I might buy. Would the same item be in their store for the same price? I may make the 1 hr trip just to save on shipping. Thanks, kate

x-no-archive: yes But they make tractors and farm equipment and... construction stuff. Where would you go with them that would be considered "away?" And why would you be on their mailing list, if you don't mind my asking? kayper

Heather! You guys OK? Don't make me come out there it's slammin' on us, too! Yoohoo! kayper

Check out the new website from Express! It must be new because I don't remember seeing it last week... I'm a big fan and was wondering what you all thought about it. http://www.expressfashion.com

I am on a mission later this month with my Mother-in-law. We are heading to Atlanta and want to find the best Tuesday Morning store there. Since there are several, can anyone point me to the largest in the area? We're from small town areas of Alabama/Florida and looking forward to a great shopping trip. Also, it has been a while since I've been to Atlanta. Are there similar outlet type stores I should be looking for? Did I read that there is a Target (or was it Tanger) store in the area?

Got an email from Bloomie's this morning for a preview of their fall catalog. There are truly some gorgeous items! Caveat: if you find something you truly love and must have, it will NOT come in your size. Case in point, most of the shoes listed only go up to size 10. And if you absolutely cannot afford an item, it will be available in your size. Case in point, most Manolo Blahniks go up to a 12, which I am sure would fit me quite nicely. But my hubby would surely shoot me for spending over...

I only get 4-5 shaves before the white stuff is gone, and the blade is hard to use after that, even with shave gel. As a matter of fact, trying to use it the other day after the white stuff was gone, the blade part itself popped out of the razor altogether and I was unable to get it back in.

I under-makeup, if anything. A friend recently asked me if I was wearing makeup. I was, of course. Any time I go out socially, I wear make up. But this was the first time in *years* that she had ever noticed. That certainly made me stop and wonder, but I don't like the alternative.

"Jackki5" wrote Never. I've never seen brows/liner that look natural - the ink is always a weird bluish grey colour and wouldn't want to be committed to something like that for the rest of my life. I've seen far to many mistakes and migrations first hand. About 99.9% of the women I've met that have had it done regret doing it. Just my .02¢

Cleaners used to charge more for women's shirts than men's, too - the one I used to go to told me that the ironing equipment was made for the way men's shirts button. I don't think that's the case anymore, thankfully. petunia Poocha <beeism@hotmail.com> wrote in message news:7451a718.0307100914.2f50d8ec@posting.google.com...
