Fasting From Blogland

I have decided to have a blog fast for the next few days. I'll be working to get us ready for the Cape, to get the house ready for home improvements, and to finish up school. Because blogging is my #1 time waster, I'll refrain from the enjoyment of visiting each different site and seeing what people have to say. So tata for now, and perhaps you'll hear from me when I'm at the Cape.

Shoe Quotes

1972: The first woman falls of her cork sandals. Millions follow. ~Vogue

When a woman pulls on a great pair of boots, she not only walks differently--she behaves differently. ~Catherine Wilson



You want to fall in love with a shoe, go ahead. A shoe can't love you back, but, on the other hand, a shoe can't hurt you too deeply either. And there are so many nice-looking shoes. Allan Sherman

Give a girl the correct footwear, and she can conquer the world. ~Bette Midler



If shoes don't hurt, they don't have style. ~Emma Bombeck



If the shoe fits, it's too expensive. Adrienne Gusoff

Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you are a mile away from them, and you have their shoes. ~Frieda Norris

A pair of shoes must be perfect like an equation and adjusted to the millimeter like a motor piece. ~Andre Perugia

Always wear expensive shoes. People notice. ~Brian Koslow

Stilettos--not combat trousers and pierced tongues--are a real source of girl power. ~Lesley Thomas

Something I Read Recently Which I Found Intriguing

In order to persuade the public to support a particular viewpoint, environmental activists often exaggerate some risks and downplay others. By using true but misleading statements, practically any substance on earth can be made to sound like a menace to society. For example, consider the following true statements about the chemical dihydrogen monoxide(DHMO):

• DHMO is a powerful solvent that can corrode many metals.
• At high temperatures, DHMO decomposes into explosive gases that can be used as rocket fuels.
• Chronic exposure to solid DHMO can cause severe tissue damage and gangrene; exposure to the liquid form causes temporary changes in the skin. Contact with DHMO vapors can cause severe burns.
• Laboratory animals fed large amounts of DHMO exhibit nausea, vomiting, edema, and electrolyte disturbances; only a few grams injected intravenously can be fatal.
• DHMO is used in the manufacture of pesticides, plastics, and nuclear weapons; it is also used as a general-purpose solvent and coolant in the chemical industry. Many industries dump DHMO into the environment. It is often stored near populated areas.

Based on the above facts, would you think DHMO should be banned? Carefully regulated? Or not regulated at all? Actually, banning dihydrogen monoxide would be a grave mistake. Even though all of the above statements are true, human life would be impossible without DHMO--which most people call water.

Although no one seriously proposes to ban water, many current environmental debates--from chlorine bans to the elimination of pesticides--are based upon similar exaggerated fears. Although there are many legitimate concerns about pollution, keep in mind that not everything that sounds ominous is a threat to the environment.
