Keeping a jaundiced eye on the corporate media.

Custom-made shoes. I don’t have even one really comfortable pair of shoes. A Subaru Forester. (Subes are the official car of Mt. Airy.) A really big plasma monitor for my computer.
What about you?
You are a Working Class Warrior, also known as a blue-collar Democrat. You believe that the little guy is getting screwed by conservative greed-mongers and corporate criminals, and you’re not going to take it anymore.

Well, if you’re offering, I’d love a new laptop. The more disc space, memory and speed, the better.
I’ll supply the operating system (some flavor of Linux.)
Thanks!
A hot tub for the patio.
On what planet would a comfortable pair of custom-made shoes be useless?
I used to wait ’til I went home for a visit to buy shoes, because the ones here were so sub-standard. That used to work just fine.
But last time I went, I saw the effect of The Great American Sell-Off: Women’s shoes in America are a lot crappier than they used to be - so much so that I bought my last pair of boots in England.
(I’ve stopped buying women’s shoes entirely.)
I guess I meant frivolous. Some people would find custom shoes a terrible extravagence…
1. Mood tiles. Hell yes.
2. Rather like PSOTD, a hot tub outside, along with some sort of deck for it and some sort of retractable-roof privacy enclosure
3. Sun room
4. Solar.
5. go as green as humanly possible
6. Maid service
7. invest in the development of a completely environmentally benign way to travel the world
8. Give a lot of it away to single parents looking for a way out of working 2 miserable jobs to get by & help them do something that makes them happy every day.
9. Friends School for the little one
10. two words: Private. Island.
Not necessarily in that order. Can you tell I “one day, when I’m rich” a lot?
I’m sorry, my imagination doesn’t extend to thinking about being rich.
A full time speech therapist for my son.
A great tutor for my daughter, a huge 60 inch or so plasma tv and surround sound, a little convertible sports car, and nice sea kayak.
The practical: New tile for the kitchen and playroom.
The frivolous: A really good turntable for the ~300 LPS I still own.
Another yellow raincoat.
Oh, and a Congressman.
Oy! If I were a rich man!
It is a question I have often asked of myself with no good answer forthcoming. I would just stop working and become a full time activist.
a maid…
I can’t keep my house clean for 2 days straight. 2 dogs that shed constantly is a nightmare…
A hot tub with an outdoor shower tiled in those mood tiles.
Crefeld School tuition.
Takeout from Karma for dinner.
Solar panels for my house, which would be totally paid for.
A cool monitor for my computer- one that isn’t two feet thick.
A new stove and refrigerator.
Front row tickets at Bush and Cheney’s war crimes trial.
Two weeks in Bhutan. Maybe 3.
A Class-C motorhome with bunks and a hybrid “toad”.
Susie, do you need those custom-made shoes for comfort or for looks?
If the former, there may be an inexpensive fix — Superfeet. These are arch-support insoles that sell fo $20 to $30 a pair, depending on model, and perform miracles. You can rotate them among shoes if you don’t want to buy a whole bunch.
About 10 years ago I was having excruciating heel pain, and my HMO doc recommended them. The improvement was unbelievable, and very quick.
I’d like to know where you can get a pair of custom made shoes?
I never bought shoes other than in America. I would like to buy shoes in France someday just to see if the fit better.
I can dream can’t I?
I’d like to buy everyone a cruise trip, if I won the lottery.
