  0 0 Whoa, Quesitonland just ate the middle section of my answer entirely. Weird. Anyway, as long as you can afford them all, store them all, and get rid of the ones you don't wear, any number of shoes is fine. Thryn commented 11 months ago

  1 0 Ha! You have to make sure you take people who actually like clothes shopping, otherwise you end up playing find-the-ugliest-dress-in-the-store for ten minutes and then going somewhere less horrible very, very quickly. Or at least that's what happens to me. I've had success throwing myself upon the mercy of some of my bossier, fashion-conscious friends. Ask for help, promise be an obedient model, try on whatever they hand you, buy at least one thing they suggest, set clear time limits so you're done before you can break down too far. Perfect use of the stereotypical bossy gay friend, I suppose. And ... well, you may never actually like clothes shopping. That whole "women LOVE to shop!" assumption is just as stupid as any of the others people make about gender roles. Know that you are not alone in this, unless of course you enter a high-end clothing shop, in which case the rest of us will be waiting in the parking lot until you're done, okay?

  How can I learn to feel okay about buying clothes?

  2 1 I also loathe loathe loathe clothes shopping, although more because I am a horrible skinflint with a nontypical body structure. Honestly, try shopping at the Good Will, their clothes are cheap enough you can buy more adventurous stuff without feeling bad if you never wear it, and you can honestly get some pretty nice things if you look hard enough. Perhaps after a while you'll feel confident enough to try the next step up - Red Light or Old Navy or suchlike - and so on from there. Oh, and find some friends and go shopping with them, it makes the whole process immeasurably less awful. Thryn answered in Women's Fashion 11 months ago Answer, comment & read 7 more answers »

  Fighting female parakeets.. help!

  0 0 I had this same problem with my parrotlet (sans cagemate) and ended up having to take her to the vet to get hormone shots. Those, plus removing all the shreddable material from the cage and keeping her out of her favorite dark, enclosed spot for while worked beautifully. The vet also told me that feeding high fat foods (like, say, eggs) only encourages more egg laying and should be avoided. Also, the eggs don't taste that great, FYI. They're so tiny they're really easy to overcook, too. Thryn answered in Other - Pets about 1 year ago Answer, comment & read 4 more answers »

  0 0 Dude, Fnarf, what do you do for a living that lets you spend as much time as you do commenting on the internets? And where do I apply? Thryn commented about 1 year ago

• Comment on Tom's answer…

  0 0 I'm not looking for the "COPY EVERY FEATHER EXACTLY" kind of realism, just one where the wings and feet and head and so forth are arranged in anatomically possible ways, the color's about right, and it doesn't look like a tribal thingummy. About like this: http://www.flickr.com/photos/alisoncj/364630583/ but without that little tiny triangle beak that seems to be every tattooist's default. Thryn commented about 1 year ago
