Hi Jennifer. You're not old enough for this, are you? Not only do I do your #12, I also have given up high heels for sensible, flat and comfortable shoes. I don't care what they look like. But I have to say, I have never heard my favorite song in an elevator. Ugh! And #16...I have to work at getting up to the speed limit.Good article. Lots of fun.DianneHi Dianne,No, I'm probably not old enough yet, but I am old enough to get the humor!And p.s.I have become bizarrely aware of my bowel movements ( and you will too, I guarantee ). I do sometimes wear socks with my sandals; have wondered whatever happened to "full service" at the gas station, and I do look for comfort and durability ( though, I hope to be somehwhat fashionable), and I have considered taking a class or two at Home Depot!haha..Thank you for commenting!
