No thoughts of going barefoot for summer any time soon?

As soon as I can, I should get some flip flops for the driveway when it's hot. Other than that the tootsies are free, I just have to get over the habit of kicking off my shoes and forgetting where I left them.

I have the same problem. I just wish I had a dog to blame it on.
I don't know that I forget so much as it is the responsibility of the shoe gnomes.

Are they related to the sock and underpants gnomes or is that a separate union?

I don't know how their Unions are organized, but I have no doubt in my mind those little bastards are incahoots. They owe me, big time!

Have you tried setting traps?

Have you tried setting traps?

Not yet. Here in the south, we prefer to hunt 'em and blow 'em to bits ourselves.

Traps is a good plan. What do you think I'd use for bait, though?

There's a lovely picture.

I suggest shoes, socks or underpants. Possibly Keebler cookies.

That has to have been one of the most surreal conversations I have read here......and there have been quite a few.

Sad, huh?

That sounds too obvious. What do you think they do with all the stolen goods, anyway?

Impossible. Perhaps you weren't present for the goiter twins show, but that was fucking funny.

Gnome pawnshops?

 

[lucky-E-leven]

Gnome pawnshops?

Could be, but I'll bet they have some cool black market system going. I can't think of what I'd want if I were a gnome besides maybe some sexy faeries.

Platform shoes perhaps?

Platform shoes perhaps?

Why? The shorter I am, the easier it is to look up skirts. I'm thinking I'd want a trimmer waist-line and a less cartoony face. Ya think they're hocking the stockings to pay for plastic surgery and gastric bypass?

I think you've been giving this subject waaaaaaaay too much thought, it's scaring me.

Bored and lonely.

Not the best combination.

I thought that was a prerequisite for this place?

Gnomes are not responsible for your socks disappearing.

It's the clothes dryer's fault. Missing socks are transmorgified into clothes hangers.

It's why you always have mismatched socks and too many hangers.

Life Lesson # 23

If you have a health scare, deal with it, immediately!

DO NOT think: Oh, it's nothing.

DO NOT think: I'd never get anything like that anyway.

DO NOT think: Oh shit, it's been like this for three weeks now and it's beginning to hurt.

DO NOT then PANIC!!!

DO NOT then start thinking the worst, then still refuse to tell your partner.

DO get it checked out immediately.

DO NOT panic once more when the initial check by the doc proves inconclusive and you are sent down the hospital for an ultrascan.

DO tell your partner, who will only give you love and support.

DO remain positive.

DO find out all you can and ask all relevent questions.

DO then breathe a MASSIVE sigh of relief when you get the test results back and are told it is nothing serious after all.

DO then go out on the piss (but only if not given a course of antibiotics).

Most important of all: BE BREAST AWARE!!! But also keep in mind that most problems are benign.

Here endeth the lesson.

Sorry if this seems overly dramatic, but quite frankly (after learning this invaluable life lesson) I don't give a fuck!!!

Edited to add: I have periductal mastisis. TFFT!!!

If you had been married to a breast-fetishist you couldn't have kept it secret for a day and you would have been escorted to the doctor as soon as possible.

It may not be what you feared but it is still painful. Best wishes for an early recovery.

The thing is, I'm very good at avoiding being ill and even when I am, I just carry on as normal and try to cover it up (I hate being fussed over like that). And, I did my darndest to keep him away from my boobs for a while (partly cos it hurt, but mostly cos I didn't want him noticing anything "odd" about my right one).

Anyway, suffice to say that, no, he isn't a huge breast fetishist, and he was more than happy with being behind me for a while.

Thanks, Og.

Lou! So glad to hear it was nothing serious. Good advice, too.

Thanks, sweetie.

I think the most important bit of advice is to (at the very least) tell the one closest to you, and share the load. I was trying to tough it out and had already made the doctor's appointment before I told my hubby. I honestly did not want to worry him, and had thought it best for him that I didn't tell him until I knew for sure what it was. But, on the Sunday (the day before the appointment) he knew something was up with me, and asked me what it was, so I told him. He was absolutely brilliant - took the day off work and came with me.

Best wishes Lou.
Take care.

Had that scare last month, glad all is well Lou.
