Hey, when measuring certain areas of the body (like umm... biceps) it's customary for guys to add a few inches.

UConnJulie · 06-05-2008, 07:20 AM

Yeaaaaaaahhhhh ... biceps.

Well, I encourage you to look at your avatar again ... with an unbiased eye. That woman is gorgeous!!

My biased eyes would have to agree with that.

My bad on the measurements. Electrical engineers don't really use rulers that often.

Damn I was found out about the nekkid talk...

Sure, sure sweetheart...it's ok I love you even if you can't measure...

I just wanted to say, for all the silliness, I admire your candor with the photos and look forward to seeing good things here.

Thanks...it was not easy to do...but after lurking for awhile I found that I felt comfy doing it...

I really can't wait to take more now in August!!!

yeah... I'll bet that's what all the guys' excuses are...

Did you say SHOES???

missjane · 06-05-2008, 09:12 AM

Jill and I can sniff out a shoe discussion ANYWHERE! Just might have to take a cruise through the Zappo's site today, now!

L'ilJ · 06-05-2008, 09:22 AM

I received two new pair from zappos just yesterday.

missjane · 06-05-2008, 09:24 AM

Hey, have you checked out 6PM.com? I think they are somehow related to Zappo's and you can get incredible deals there!

I am addicted to Carlos Santana shoes.

sidonia · 06-05-2008, 09:36 AM

WOW guys that was FAST...lol....8) I'm partial to Zappos and SoleStruck myself...I have ummm...shoe issues....

I own these red little ones but haven't had the guts to wear them often...maybe as I get smaller???

My husband was once thinking of updating some of his stereo equipment in the apt and I said to him..."Why...is your receiver broken?" And he quickly retorted..."No...are your SHOES broken?"

I was silenced....it doesn't happen often...but I was...I have to be a big girl and admit defeat once in awhile...

Hey, you're the one who encouraged her to start a log....now you gotta suffer the consequences. Pwnd.

L'ilJ · 06-05-2008, 09:55 AM

Shhhhhhh....don't tell my husband that these were delivered yesterday.

I don't see why one needs to wait. There's no such thing as a pair of shoes you should wait to wear (besides dyeable bridesmaids ones

)

Wear them with Confidence. Jeans or a cute skirt... A-line to flare with a bit of ruffle would be kyoote!

We could just ask HER to do your measuring and report the results...

SpacecityPaula · 06-05-2008, 10:01 AM

I couldn't wear those shoes.... anything above 2 inches totally kill my feet

SpacecityPaula · 06-05-2008, 10:02 AM

Good point...maybe time to shop for that A-Line skirt......

Lol...yeah you tell him!!!

Waittz · 06-05-2008, 11:36 AM

you can get an myotape for almost nothing online. very accurate and easy to use.

Simon C · 06-05-2008, 11:39 AM

Seconded, myotape is good.
I have to figure how to get a good measurement of my shoulders and chest though without help haha!

And Paul - you got owned

I did. I think it would be in my best interest to stay out of this thread. All they seem to talk about is shoes and naked guys anyway.

We had a myotape until one of my friends decided that it was fun to play with. Eventually it refused to retract, so I cracked it open and took the tape out. That's why our tape doesn't start at zero.

sidonia · 06-05-2008, 12:08 PM

Hmmmmmm...maybe time for another Myotape????!!!

Aoife · 06-05-2008, 12:19 PM

We've had about 5
don't go to gnc and get their branded one though, that one broke quickly

sidonia · 06-05-2008, 12:22 PM

Good to know....I would have gone there...lol!

Aoife · 06-05-2008, 12:31 PM

if you get the one from them labeled "myotape" should be good. the one that says "gnc" is crap.

But, it's also 2xs the cost at gnc versus vitamin shoppe or online.

That goes for all of their products.

Menz

This is exactly what bob would do.

sidonia · 06-05-2008, 01:54 PM

Yeah totally menz...it's broken...but look...I fixed it....sort of...

Well, yeah.

It's only worth it if you can manage to like a product that every once in a while they significantly reduce the price during the first week of the month. We got a lot of cheap detour bars that way (less than a buck apiece).

But then, of course, detour changed the bar, they're crap now, and so we no longer have a gnc membership.

Plus, one of the ones around here has a guy who tried to sell me "whee" protein. Damn, it took a long time to figure out what "whee" was.
