It's one of those automatic status symbols. If you weren't raised doing it, there was no way to fake it later on, for your feet were an obvious giveaway.
Now shoes are the fetish... and it seems as if the heels just keep getting higher and higher. Even in the fifties and sixties (and probably today), many women refuse to wear shoes that fit, so convinced are they that a "real" woman doesn't wear over a size 8.
I'm with mindy and the moat swimming pool. Even better if we can give it a current, and go tubing!
At the same time, most break-ins occur during the day, because those who break in don't want to confront home owners. While I'm upset by the idea that someone might go through my highly unvaluable stuff, I'd rather that happen than I be home.
Next you need to find ways to secure vehicles more, since they are a more likely target than homes. This stuff was fascinating!
So gross! The first one would likely help a person drown by holding up the wrong parts of their body. Having only the top inflate would be smarter, as with the second example. Honestly, though, putting just a bit of the floating material in the chest area would be enough to keep most people afloat.
Wow! How in the world did that teacher work it out with NASA? I wish I could do the same for my students and give them the chance to do something like that in the real world.
The video was cool... but it seemed cut short. Perhaps it was just my computer.
Actually, they don't. Typically, for instance, when car payments aren't met, the car is taken. Because the loan is for a property, the recourse is to take the property. Bankruptcy is intended so that a person can delete what he owes without giving up his property.
I can see handing over a house to the bank if one has to. I cannot see staying it in without paying for it. Then again, if one has lost one's job, it's better to be under a roof than out on the street. No one seems to be buying the homes, anyway.
If I can't grade my own students' papers, I have no business teaching the number of classes I do.
As a college English prof (going on 17 years now), I have NEVER used anyone else to grade a single paper. The only time I have even shown a student's paper to someone else is when I need a fresh perspective on the paper, to be certain I am not being too biased.
Grading isn't fun, but it's an essential part of the teaching I do.

Perhaps we don't really learn, after all.
I wonder what people 100 years ago with think of botox parties and other goofy stuff we do.

Weird.

But the piano thing is brilliant. I guess child psychology works on non-children, too. (Or are we all still children?)
I'd like to think we are all still children. Makes me feel less weird.

(BTW, I also bribe my kids to read--not with money, but with other enticements!)
