Sense of triumph a little dimmed when Google showed me the same Barbour marked down even more at stores all over the retail world. <br /><br />velvet things: generally satisfied with the tank tops, even the wholly inauthentic tartan one. In fact I compulsively collected every color, including 2 in dark green. <br /><br />shoes: too many sizing issues to deal with, there’s enough stress this time of year. sticking to hunting for Chies and Clergeries. <br /><br />Plaid tights! I missed my size. Continuing to stalk. <br /><br />Silk shirts. The silk continues to get thinner. Sadly, I do not. On the other hand, my featherweight cashmeres from 2008 are holding up well.<br /><br />Quality of website: frankly, I suspect sabotage, and I fear the saboteurs have not been found. I also think that more time-bombs have been implanted, with a long, slow fuse. <br /><br />the future: the Spirit showed Scrooge two wrecked and trembling children, “One is Ignorance, the other is Want.” Then the Spirit showed Scrooge that he (Scrooge) could change the future ...<br /><br />May all of us find Peace, Joy, and Hope this Christmas. wellfedfredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07118802089389931227noreply@blogger.com
