Yes.

--- Quote from: tania on 18 Feb 2010, 11:30 --- i get blisters there all the time when i wear boots. i find that when i put insoles in there it seems to solve the problem a good 95% of the time because it elevates my heel above the blister-y area and stops the chafing. you could try that i guess.

I talked to my mom today and she said that I should try getting some heel insoles because, like my nana, I probably have narrow heels. I can't afford insoles though, so my mom told me to fold up one of my smaller socks and use that.

Eris:
I love my Doc Martens and never get blisters with them, or sore toes or nuthin'. I would wear them all the time if it wasn't summer and they weren't pinky-red and long. I get blisters whenever I wear goddamn flats, though. Almost every pair of flats I have give me blisters on the back of my foot where the back of the shoe ends, so I have taken to just putting band-aids on that spot whenever I wear flats. Annoying, but necessary, I guess.


Blog! I bought a watch yesterday! It was $140 and not quite what I wanted, but still is lovely. I also bought some padded bras which make my boobs look pretty tops, and a new shirt (for $10!) that I am going to wear tonight when dealing with ben's family. His brother wants us to do karaoke.

Barmymoo:
Ah, I thought you meant blisters on the base of your heel, which is where I got one from my new boots. I had to cut and drain it because I couldn't put any pressure on it but it wasn't the kind that was going to burst. Yeah, insoles are the way forwards and they're incredibly cheap, I got a pair for £2.50.

It's been a weird, disjointed day in which I have got changed five times and been to bed three times (none of them at night), and eaten a lot of toast and not much else. I think our moot tomorrow is going to go really well - I just read through the opposing team's argument and it is based on a lot of optimistic legal fallacy and not much else.

And a girl on my corridor got a mouse! It is cute and its name is Stilton. That's the good thing about living in the farthest building away from anywhere, it's possible to have illegal pets. I know of at least three. None of them are cats though :(

LittleKey:
So I got kicked off of polevaulting today. After one day. Apparently the coach assumed I was a Freshman or a Sophomore, which is why I was allowed on the team; but when he found out i'm a Junior, he had to kick me off because our school's polevaulting team only has varsity level, and it takes a year to learn how to vault at that height (which is 12 feet i think). After three years, I finally find one thing at my school that I actually enjoy, and then I get kicked off after one day; oh, and because I still need another semester of P.E. credit (one of the reasons I wanted to join polevaulting) I have to go back to normal P.E. in which I don't have any friends, while I think about my track friends having fun flying 12 feet in the air upside-down.

Yay.

Slick:
I typed this up like three hours ago then my internet crapped out, but,

All mah winter boots are sized enough to fit my foot plus a wool sock, so I used to get that problem too, when my foot drifts up and down too much in the boot. The insole is a good idea, but all I had to do was lace them tighter when wearing regular socks. Maybe you could try that?

Patrick, dog, I am going to be harsh here and say maybe the problem is you? Like, I'm not trying to shit on you but you have lots of complaints, it seems, about people problems where people don't like or appreciate you. I do not know the situation I do not know the people, but, like, look back over all your times with these 'friends' and try and think if you've been reliably a good person to be around.
Jeph's advice on posting here, or anywhere, was "Is this something someone else would want to read", and I used to take that to heart a lot. Obviously, I think of that less so now because often I'm just making silly conversational remarks to people I know, but you can apply that sentiment to real life. Are you saying things these people enjoy hearing? Are you stimulating and enjoyable to be around? Do you hang around them too much? Are you coming on too strong? Do you make jokes or say things you think are funny, but they just give a light chuckle and disregard? There are lots of possible reasons for why you keep seeming to be having bad things with people, and you are a common element to these problems. Self examination is really useful. I personally found it really irritating when people would hang around my place of work all the time if they kept using the same shtick and jokes and kept asking 'so when are you hiring' all the time. Some of our regulars were great people and I keep in touch with them to this day, some of them I had no time for and if I met them on the street I might just tell them to fuck off if they tried to engage me in conversation, though I always was polite & quiet to them at work.
Like, what I am saying is, look back over yourself because even if they are all dicks and you are a paragon of humanity, reflection is super useful and maybe you will learn some stuff.
Also, in times of slow business (winter time) sometimes bosses do take time to get around to you because they presently have staff and don't want to spend more money right now. Alternatively, running a business can be a bunch of work, so maybe the problem there is that the people don't have time or aren't organized enough to train you right now, and maybe fortunes will be better in a week. Don't get angry or arrogant with them though, life is tough for everybody a lot of the time.
