Hello. I’d like to put in a request for 3 drink tickets after reading about your dad spitting out little hard things along the edge of his dinner plate. Thank you and good day.

The one with the pink scrunched up blankie and the ortho boots is my favorite. I’ll have to remember that for my next student who breaks an ankle.🤣

Thank you so much for “Who Wore it Better?” Just what I needed on one of those days when recovery is non-linear. It’s priceless. And I’m looking forward to the next episode of Marriage!!

Thank you for always being so supportive, even when you are in pain. (BTW: I dont know what they gave you for pain but did you know that Advil makes Advil WITH TYLENOL....a two-fer. ANd its REALLY effective. Also its for sale everywhere. I just never knew about it til someone told me.

I have one of those boots from when I broke my ankle- now I have to get another one- or a nice, clean set of two and see the reactions I get when I wear them both . :-)

Yes I knew about the Advil with Tylenol but I’m an ex- Advil user. Bothers my stomach too much. So I’m just on Tylenol. But being able to laugh really does ameliorate the pain and you are expert at doing that! I’ll keep on being supportive because you keep me laughing ! Thank you. 🙏🏻

Well Carl - I’m sure he would be quite proud of your fashion sense. The butcher apron especially would mostly likely make him the most proud! I know he would think you can always cut a side of beef in the outfit so you would not ever go hungry!

It seems many of the dresses these days are missing so much. Is a naked dress actually a dress? Or is this the other choice for a side hustle - literally?

I think you have missed your calling! You are quite brilliant at being a narrator for the fashion industry. You would make a lot of money due to the numerous Fashion Weeks - you would be a 💫

I generally judge fashion by asking myself the question,"If THIS woman doesn't look good in it, what hope is there for me?" Thats why models are all so gorgeous. If you are gorgeous enough, it doesnt really matter what the clothes look like.

I learned a very hard lesson about judging fashion for myself - one RA had its way with me and made me much more docile, and did a few twists & a few more over here & up there - my days of wearing outfits that were so beautifully me looked sooo ridiculously me. I loved doing online shopping. Everything fit just right. Now shoes need t be bigger and so do pants And dresses??? Oh hell naw what was I thinking!!

Lesson Learned- took a lot for granted back then!!
