Hey those "gay" shoes sound like the kind of shoes that Genies wear! :) Maybe the young Iraqis are dressing up for "Harry Potter and the Magic Hooka" ;) I wear socks to bed. :P Me like Watch books too! :D Want to read more about Constable Golem.

I even read a blog the other day where they told the guy "we're sorry you lost your luggage"... wow! Have you ever seen <a href="http://www.globalbagtag.com/" rel="nofollow">Global Bag Tag</a>s by chance? Awesome little invention. It’s pretty hilarious they act like it’s not their fault.

Huh! That hasn't happened to me, but it did to a friend of mine. Unfortunately she was on a cruise at the time and had to make do until the next port stop. where her luggage met her. :pullhair: :crying: Hmmm...yes, those sound like Aladdin shoes! :eek: Anarki, But, but, Anarki, don't you know that toes like to <i>breathe</i>? Yes, yes, it's true. They get all stuffed up and soggy when trapped inside cloth when it's 120 in the shade! :mrgreen: As for dirt, well, that's what those nice cool foot baths are for. :D Lost luggage? Huh!

Thanks again for trying though, lol. @ 13: see Lynnette's comment later, mwahahahahaha Yup, Watch books are good. As are Death books. How about reading 'em in order though, and not the newest first? :P @ David: not <b>quite</b> as curled up as that, but going into that direction, yeah. Chikitita calls them Sindbad shoes and says she wouldn't talk to her brother if he wore them... :lol: Socks to bed? Only in winter, I presume? :P And you guys just read your own books, k? Other golems are playing a part in Going Postal. @ Farrell: Welcome to my blog! :) @ Lynnette: Well, yeah, I appreciated that it didn't happen on the trip <b>to</b> Amman, but until I had it back I was so scared it was gone for good. I mean, it contained some of my fave clothes, books and also some of my souvenirs... Lynnette, I am starting to be afraid that this info comes too late for 13. He hasn't been barefoot in so many years now, that his whole feet are all puffed up and wrinkly..... and moist and rank..... :sick: :rofl: @ Frenzie: Hmyeah…. Thanks again for trying though, lol.

Not to let your toes know the joy of unconfined freedom! Not to let them know what it's like to slip the bonds of their sandals and scrunch up in warm sand! (Well, okay, maybe there the sand would be a little <i>too</i> warm.) But there is still all that unfettered wiggling that can be done better without socks. :dream: Ahhh, I've been remiss in my Pratchett's. So many books, so little time. I will have to scrounge around for the next one on your list. Maybe this weekend. Right now I am reading "Kabul Beauty School" by Deborah Rodriguez and "Unzipped" by Lois Greiman. The first is by a woman who started a beauty school in Afghanistan after the overthrow of the Taliban. It's very good. The second is a light and fluffy work of fiction that is, so far, pretty funny. I trade off between serious and light depending on my mood. :) Mel,

I'VE TRAINED BAREFOOT ALMOST EVERYDAY FOR THE LAST 3-4 YEARS OF MY LIFE :) also, when indoors, i dont do shoes, slippers, socks, etc. i like to feel the floor against my feet. and i dont have athlete's foot. and i do wiggle my toes, and wash them 5 times a day (ablution) and generally i hate stinky feet. or any kind of stink, for that matter :D now; bout them watch books: i like to read the newest first, so i'd "stay up to date" of sorts, and i can pick up the background stories as i go along :) now, what IS it that's stopping me from posting? if i write about Pratchett, will anyone be interested? hmm.. AAARGH!

Hey now, you started it! I just tagged along. :P *whispers softly* He better not give away the endings if he posts about Pratchett...only slight teasing allowed! :D I've only read one of them. I finished the "Kabul Beauty School". I recommend it highly. I've now started "The Weather Makers" by Tim Flannery. I thought I'd take a break from the Middle East for a bit and dip into global warming. So far it's good. It's not so technical so even I can understand it. And so far it's not politicized like "An Inconvenient Truth" by Al Gore. What?! Hey now, you started it! I just tagged along. :P
