So? I mean is not like it was finger nails. Your toes are kept clean because if you wear shoes they aren't exposed to germs.

Germaphobia is stupid and unhealthy.

Pardon? Not everyone wears socks and close toed shoes. Even if you do and keep your feet clean, it can be a sauna in there and any number of things you've walked through can be growing. I agree on the germaphobia though. Give your immune systems pop quizzes to keep it at the top of its game.

Eh I'm in the camp that thinks no guy should ever wear anything that could be considered "open toed."

Either way, they were probably either Luke's toenails or his wife's. If I were him I would have no problem because if they were mine eh no big deal. If they were my wife's I can guarantee I'd have had them toes in my mouth before so again no big deal.

My mom and some papers confirmed I learned it in 3rd grade. I know how to read it and write some (I've forgotten a few letters) so I still remember most of it.


Smile: The Phoenix Wright movie w/ subtitles (it's a official movie) is almost done downloading off of youtube.

On the subject of handwriting: My handwriting, either print or cursive, is atrocious. And since I'm kinda anal about my pseudo-perfectionist nature, it's a train wreck.

I do handwrite some things, mostly just random shit I scribble down in a notebook. I used to do that for all my ideas, and even had a whole notebook for major ideas, but that never really worked out since I'd hit a road block or lose interest after using less than 10 of the 70-150 sheets. I eventually upgraded to a 3-ring notebook with looseleaf paper, but eventually that went south.

No flip flops or sport sandals even? I guess me going around barefoot a lot must be a horrifying thought. :lol: Are women not considered all all for the purposes of this wearing shoes hypothesis? :P

Oh, and Frown: I went out to run an errand at 6:30 and it was 105 outside. No wonder my AC has been going bonkers today.

:D Oh I have got to air the fungus out for the world to see.

I prefer the basic Flip Flop or just go barefoot, so much more comfortable. I wish my "runs" at the Swap Meet were not so hazardous for bare feet, play it safe? with the flip flops. :lol:

The feet have literally hundreds of different species of fungus living on them, you know.

My stepbrother wears sandals a lot. But then again he spends a lot of time in tropical environments such as Hawaii, Costa Rica, Panama, etc. I visited him in Hawaii, and it was so hot, I gladly wore sandals the whole time. The environment was too hot to wear shoes.

Cursive.

Shocked no one posted that earlier.

Smile: I avoid the discounted meat section like cheap strip clubs, but when I saw a seven pound chicken for three bucks I had to check the sell by date. Well, I couldn't since the discounted price covered it up.

I asked the butcher to take a peek, and shazam, one day left on the sell by date. The butcher also said, "Let me further discount that for you".

$1.16 for a seven pound roaster. As soon as I got back home I inspected the bird, and gave it a big whiff. Smelled fine, so I gutted it, fed the liver to my dog, stuffed it, and three hours later had a delicious chicken dinner with most of the trimmings (no time to make potato salad in situations like these).

Glad I took the gamble, and had I opened the chicken only to smell a rotting bird, so what? I'd be out $1.16. I'm getting three meals out of this beastly bird too: Roast chicken, chicken a'la King, and Golden Chicken Bake.

Confused: Went to sleep in a plain white T, woke up in a Cubs t-shirt. I sleep walk, sleep talk, sleep sing, but this is my first occurrence of sleep changing clothes.

Frown: I also scratched my face something fierce last night.
