Things That Rightfully or Not Bug Me Showing 1,351-1,400 of 1,934

[Phil]

If you had tossed in an Eddie Bauer Edition Subaru Outback (or EB Edition Jeep Grand Cherokee) I'd call you a Northwest Yuppie.

[Cynthia]

Nope. Just an old Iowa Yuppie. Ames is not exactly urban, though. And 50 is not exactly young. So I don't know what I am.

[Jonathan]

Me too...IRT R142.

[janine]

What does this say about me:


The car I drive most (not mine) is a Peugeot 107, 5 years old I think.

[Cynthia]

What is an IRT?

That's true.

[janine]

The headlight doesn't work at the moment and is facing the wrong way since my bicycle was abused by the wind. I may have lost the mudflap, they usually don't last more than a few months with me.

Oh, thanks. I forget that no one in your neck of the woods owns a car.

really? i know a lady who spent her life taking care of her husband and family on a farm and the last few years caring for her husband who was dying of cancer. she always drove the family truck and was very low key. after her husband passed, with her kids grown and gone, she sold the farm and bought a small house in town and a red mustang convertible at about 60 years old. she said she wanted to live life having as much fun as she could.


i personally drive a 1995 pick-up truck that is big, a motorcycle that is loud and occasionally a 2004 red grand am 4-dr. i don't feel like i am compensating for anything

[Phil]

Big pick-up and Grand Am say rural driver (or wannabe rural). The motorcycle says you value freedom more than longevity, especially if you don't wear a helmet. When you wear a baseball cap it's just as likely to be facing backward as forward.

You're not compensating -- the car is a 4-door for goodness sake.

BunWat wrote: "Okay Phil, ten year old Subaru Legacy station wagon. What am I?

This is fun!"

Ten years old? Do you wear flannel shirts? Like to spend time in nature? Vegetarian?

The age means you probably just want to get from here to there. The Legacy wagon says "safety before show."

Tending towards hippie, are we? :)

You're Canadian.

Kia Magentis is standard suburban sedan. Good for hauling kids and groceries. Sensible.

Urban commuter. Can't say more without seeing hairstyle and clothing.

Peugeot says you're not from the U.S. The bicycle says you're not in a hurry. If you wear a backpack while riding I would assume student.

[Phil]

Yeah, it's not an exact science. :P

I have not regularly worn a backpack in 7 years.

[~Geektastic~]

All right, how's this one: a 2002 beige PT Cruiser, not a special edition of any kind.

That's tougher. The choice of cars says you want to stand out a little bit from the crowd, while the choice of colors says you don't.

Under 30, still puzzling out your identity. Hey, you're my daughter!

Lol. I really only bought the car because it was the only one on the lot at Carmax I could afford that wasn't a manual transmission. But the "still puzzling out your identity" part is pretty dead on.

Yuppie. Definitely yuppie."

Oooh, can I play? I drive a 1997 white Saturn station wagon.

[Carol]

Me too! 1999 Cadillac Deville, bronze metallic :)

[Jammies]

Carol! *hug* Where have you been?

[Carol]

*Glomps Jammies*
I've been poking around! A post here, a post there.
Nice to "see" you!!

[Phil]

Jammies:
Saturn is typically 20-something male, but being a wagon it means over-40 female, probably a few fast food wrappers on the floor.

Carol:
A Caddy? Headed for the early-bird special at the buffet.

Catherine:
On your way to rehab? That car has personality! Do you have a mullet? And how did an '09 get so dinged up? Too many possibilities.

[Carol]

I think I impress people by being 30+ years younger than they expect!
Also, the car cost 18 cents.

What does this say about me?

[Sally, la reina]

2001 Toyota 4Runner. Used to be half beige, half black, but then Sweeter hit a deer and now it is all black.

[Kevin]

well, i do live in the country. i drive a truck because i am always hauling something around for someone, bout right about the motorcycle and i have never worn a baseball cap backwards. as a matter of fact i am a flat bill guy

[Phil]

LG:
You are beyond definition. You defy all stereotypes and remain an enigma.

Sally Mae:
Sensible 4wd transportation for a family. In a rural or hilly area you could be just about anyone. In the city, these are nearly always driven by women under 30. Those over 30 go for the Highlander.

Kevin:
Hey, it's all in fun. I wouldn't have pegged you for flat-bill. Surprises abound. :)

[Jonathan]

...apologies to Phil for barging in.

LG Photo 1: You are flexible, hence prefer accordion-fold vehicles

LG Photo 2: Obstacles mean nothing to you, and you are slightly violent/unpredictable/insane.

LG Photo 3: You're facing the wrong way. That train will stop at the opposite platform. Yours will be coming from the other direction.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Damn, I knew there must be a reason I was always missing trains.

You are flexible

somewhat...

hence prefer accordion-fold vehicles definitely

Obstacles mean nothing to you

false

you are slightly violent/unpredictable/insane

I confess, it's slightly true

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

What do these shoes say about me?

[Jonathan]

Pride goeth before the fall.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Actually they don't say anything about me since they're not mine, but I think the woman in them would like Leigh Keno to explain the provenance of that Victorian newel post.

[Jonathan]

Could also be a chair leg, although a barley-twist design would be a somewhat more expected Victorian carving.

[evie]

Ouch

[Amy]

Are those shoes a fashion statement or a torture device? Or both?

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Stop complaining and put the shoe on.

[Janice]

I'll bet there were some falls on the runways with those shoes.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Timber.....

[Amy]

Some of these would make nice planters...

[evie]

That last pair looks a bit insect.

[Cam]

RE: last picture - That's why she is sitting down--she definitely cannot walk in these shoes!

[Cam]

The Woman in Black advertisement on goodreads - the constant "flashing" of different pictures in this ad is bugging me.

[~Geektastic~]

I actually like the top pair in 1721, from a visual perspective, but I wouldn't want to have to walk in them.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

I'm fascinated by the 3rd pair, the robin's egg blue ones, just from a couture/costuming perspective. I think those are Dior. The heel looks like a piece of horn that an 18th century sea captain would keep his snuff in. Or something.

It makes me think of English design during the Raj, when Indian shawls and ivory were all the rage.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

At T.J. Maxx the other day I decided to try on a pair of Jessica Simpson shoes just out of curiosity - 5 inch hooker heels with a bit of a platform. As soon as I flexed my foot to insert it, I felt something happening to my calves - not really in a good way. I stopped. I don't go beyond a 3-inch heel usually, and I'm not walking long distances in them. I think your muscles have to learn to wear a 5-inch, and if they haven't, it's a shock to the system.

[Amy]

Visually those are fun to look at as a piece of art. I would never wear any of them. But I might pay money to see someone else walk in them, especially if it was a man.
