Significant rise in both anti-semitism and Islamophobia
Hi all,
I always went barefoot then got fed up with having to wipe the soles of my feet as they always felt unclean (even though my house is spotless), so I bought some cheap black sliders from Tesco. What do you wear? X
?????
Sorry but what exactly are sliders
Gawd, I thought as grandparents we could behave like adults, but seems like we are back in the playground; 'he said, she said'!
Back to the OP, I wear 'sensible' (aka not particularly attractive), slippers or shoes. I can't feel my feet, and sew, so invariably there are pins on the floor!
Flipflops
Sorry, I hadn’t realised the other one was an old thread. It was commented on today and I always look at the whole thread.
But I stand by what I said and I’m not going to support comments with which I disagree sorry !
Lucca I rarely post and you have picked on the only two people that I have had a beef with. Grandad being months ago, certainly not today as you infer. I think that’s very unfair and if you and others were fair, you would be backing me up as you must have noted the same responses that I have. I’m very disappointed that no one can bring themselves to support my comments.
Thank you DanniRae. I might not chance them unless I get chance to try a pair on first then!
luckylegs. Forgive me saying so but you’re being a tad belligerent today.....MawB on here, Grandad on another thread.
Luckylegs - The bit between the toes in Animal flipflops is soft, padded jersey materiel. I find them so comfortable but I guess if your toes are close together they might be uncomfortable. I would hate to 'big them up' and you then find them not suitable .
Puh-lease!
I am most certainly not “wallowing” in anything other than a large glass of Pimms in the garden now that the threat of thunder has passed!

You’re wallowing in self pity now. I don’t know you, certainly don’t dislike you but it’s more how you say unnecessary and sometimes hurtful things, hopefully it’s without thinking how people can get upset. End of.
Bad luck Maw ! Amazing how a little comment gets leapt upon
Luckylegs
Hmm, there seems to be a lot that you don’t like. There’s a lot I don’t like but I don’t go telling people on here about them.
Now, back to the thread, do you all swear that Animal flip flops are really comfortable, even between the toes? I’ve got some redundant Fitflops which are a complete waste of money because they hurt. If anyone would like them, bronze, size 6 then you’re welcome to them. They just kill me and I don’t want to waste more money.
Yes you do
All about how much you don’t like my comments or me ???
Back to indoor shoes, I wear sketchers sliders, very useful and comfortable.

You just don’t get it, do you? You’re the one taking pot shots here, there and everywhere. There was no need to say anything at all to Flyinghandbag in the first place but you can’t just apologise, can you, and admit it? Then you have the nerve to say to Grannylyn that SHE was being rude. You’re just not used to anyone pulling you up about anything you say and then you say “It’s a let’s pick on MawB day”, that’s just self indulgent.
You’re right CarrieAnn in shorthand you do use a cross for a full stop so I don’t see why MawB has never seen it. But if she hasn’t seen it, it can’t have ever existed, could it? I’ve worked in newspapers and very high flying jobs and I know it exists but that’s not what the OP was doing, she was merely putting a kiss at the end of her posts, not a hanging offence!
I just get frustrated by you thinking you know better than everyone else and you can tell people what they may say and do and people rarely have the nerve to pull you up on it.
Oh sorry CarrieAnne I didn’t appreciate you were talking about shorthand something I never mastered or understood.
Now Luckylegs I hope you feel better for getting that out of our system.
However, I still don’t like unsolicited kisses, exhortations to “take care” (damn, I was planning on scaling Everest without a harness) or being told to “Have a nice day”

Nope Pippa I love people taking pot shots at me.
The journalist comment seemed particularly bizarre though.
Surreal even. Maybe a parallel universe?
Goodness MawB that’s a bit much isn’t it ? Are you feeling a bit scratchy today ?
Oddly enough CarrieAnn my father was a journalist on more than one national newspaper as well as editor of a regional and I have never ever seen what you mention.
By your reckoning we would presumably see xxx at the end of letters from HMRC, the bank, the utilities, and all over the broadsheets and tabloids 
If you were a journalist MawB crosses at the end of a sentence replace a full stop.Imagine how disappointed I was when I found this out,I thought my boyfriend was being really romantic.Back to the thread,bare feet or slippers in the house.

Not at all but you posting that someone shouldn’t put one kiss on the bottom of their posts because it displeases you, in my opinion, is unnecessary and personal criticism. You’re not in charge, that’s all.
Nor are you Luckylegs
I was expressing my opinion as others did before me - but hey, it’s let’s pick on MawB day
Whatever floats your boat ?

Heartily concur with Grannylyn65 and the others who have dared to point out that MawB is not in charge here, it sometimes feels that way and people seem scared of correcting her or disagreeing with her. Well, I’m not.
Is this getting personal? ???
