[CaliforniaPeggy]

[AVulgarianHue]

1. ooooh CP

I want a pair! You've shown me exactly what I needed. Perfect.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

3. These are my favorite slippers....just got them today...

Lands' End catalog...and they were on sale!

I love them....

Thanks for coming by my very silly thread!

:loveya: :hug:

[AVulgarianHue]

25. Yay

Sent for a pair. Good timing, CaliforniaPeggy. I was getting irritated how my slippers slip around.:P

[Aristus]

2. Those look comfy!

They need a cosy fireplace to go with them.

Oh, and some hot chocolate. B-)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

5. Hi Aristus!

They are extremely comfortable!

Alas, no fireplaces in my beautiful home.....

Can I borrow yours? :evilgrin:


Hot chocolate sounds good too......will you make me some?


:loveya: :hug:

[Aristus]

14. I 've got a fireplace!

AND some hot chocolate. Just make yourself comfortable.

Hot chocolate, coming up!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

15. Why thank you, kind sir.....

What a nice living room you have......


:blush:

[merh]

4. They do look comfy

:hi: :hug: :hi: :loveya:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

6. My dear merh!

They are extremely comfortable......

I am so happy....and so are my feet!


:loveya: :hug: :pals:

[Suich]

16. How're you doing, Merh?

If there's anything I can do to help, please PM me.

[merh]

17. I'm hanging in there, Suich.

Thanks so for the offer of help, that is so kind of you.

A belated welcome to DU! :hi: :hug:

[SeattleGirl]

22. Hey merh!

Hope you are doing well (relatively speaking, of course). How is Mr. Winston doing? :loveya: :hug: :loveya: :hug:

And in case you don't make it to the Nighthawks thread, here's a little bit of the sounds of the band for you:

[bridgit]

7. gee wiz, Peg, now those look very cozy indeed...

:thumbsup: :hi:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

9. Hi bridgit!

They are very cozy indeed......I love them, I love the coverage.....

:loveya: :hug:

[bridgit]

11. the cold country folks will think we're kooky, but it is starting...

to cool off here in cali, and for us it's still a good idea to be homey, or comfortable shall i say :hug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

12. I am a firm believer

in being comfortable!

I wear these all year round......Lands' End loves me!


:hug:

[WCGreen]

8. They look like moon boots, Peg....

Just how cold does it get in SC....

[CaliforniaPeggy]

10. Hi there my dear Chris....

Moon boots is a good description.....

It doesn't get as cold as where you are....

But my feet chill down very easily, and if they're cold....I am cold!

Besides, these can be worn outside to get the paper and like that....

I love them...I get a new pair every year or so, since I wear them nearly all the time ......

:hug:

[WCGreen]

13. Well they look comfy, that's for sure...

[CaliforniaPeggy]

18. Please check your PM........

[SeattleGirl]

29. Hey, Mr. WCGreen!

How are you, my friend? :loveya:

[WCGreen]

31. Actually, enjoying a brief moment of quiet before the

holiday malestrom hits...

All sorts of people are going to be whisking in and out of my life over the next two months...

And to tell the truth, I would rather be here in DU than with all the people I know....

[SeattleGirl]

33. We, I for one certainly like seeing you here!

When the holiday traffic gets to be too much, drop on by!

:pals:

[WCGreen]

34. I enjoy your company.....

Everyone around me is so busy getting their shit together for the Holiday, I think, doing this in order to not have to deal with people on a real basis....

If all you have is expectations, then when reality barges in, how can you not help but be depressed....

Such a wonderful way to kick off winter....

[SeattleGirl]

38. Thank you.....

I love the holiday season, but I do have to make sure I take "quiet time"; otherwise, it becomes the "Stress Season", and what's the fun in that?

Good thing we have the lounge as a place to go to decompress!

:hug:

[WCGreen]

54. My first holiday here.... I can't wait.....

[SeattleGirl]

58. Mine too.

Anyone seen the mistletoe? :evilgrin:

[WCGreen]

59. I'm sure if anyone has it, it will be Joani or Shell Beau...

they always have the smilies for what ever occasion....

[SeattleGirl]

61. Guess I'd better check with them!

:9

[WCGreen]

63. I'll be puckered....

[SeattleGirl]

64. ;-}

[SoCalDem]

19. Oooh they look toasty.. BUT

they look complicated to put on.. I like my flipflops :)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

20. Hi there, my dear SoCalDem!

They are toasty....

And they are NOT one bit complicated to put on.....

You just PULL....and there they are.....easy as pie....I love 'em!

I'm glad you love your flipflops....We all need to have what suits US!


:loveya: :pals:

[SoCalDem]

21. My feet are always hot anyway.. I used to wear socke to bed

until mother nature turned up my furnace :(

[CaliforniaPeggy]

23. I'm sorry to hear that.......

Once in a blue moon, my feet will feel hot...but it's only temporary!

Then I take my slippers off till I cool down....and all is well again...

I can see why you'd prefer flip-flops...they are much cooler than these guys.....



:loveya: :hug:

[SeattleGirl]

24. Nice slippies, Miss Peggy!

I will have to check out Lands End -- I hate it when my feet get cold, and those look like just the ticket to keep my tootsies warm!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

27. Damn, I should be getting a commission! J/K.......

They are so comfortable.....I am so happy.....

Simple things make me happy, like having warm cozy feet........

These are a large...size 9-10...a tiny bit long for me...so I just wear some little socks underneath to make up the difference...
I find the socks keep the slippers clean and like that.....

Have fun shopping!

:loveya: :hug:

[liberaltrucker]

26. Frivolous? I think not

Preparing for winter is downright practical. After all, you SoCal folks whimper when the temp drops below 60:rofl: :hide: Just kidding, ya know.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

30. My dear liberaltrucker!

Now just a darned minute! We DO NOT whimper when the temp gets below 60!

It has to get below, oh about 50, before we start whimpering!

BTW, I wear these guys ALL YEAR ROUND...SO THERE!

Nice to see you....how are things?

I know you were just kidding, my dear......


:loveya: :hug:

[liberaltrucker]

53. All's fine here

Just surfing DU in Illinois. Gotta be in Portland, OR Wed 11/9. Shhh, just between us, I got veeeerryyy comfy slippies myself:blush:

[Ptah]

28. They look like they keep ankles warm.

comfy!

:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

35. My dear Ptah.....

They do indeed keep my ankles warm...

This is a must for me.....I like to be covered all the way down, without gaps.....

VERY comfy, my dear......

:loveya: :hug:

[Ptah]

39. Hijack - crosspost:

Turns out that Wetzelbill and I are neighbors:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x4255120#4255148


Small world.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

42. My dear Ptah, I encourage you to hijack my silly threads whenever

you want to!

I did see the beginning of that exchange you had with Wetzelbill...

How cool is that? Small world indeed......you two will make good friends, I think.....


:loveya: :hug:

[AtomicKitten]

32. I am fully into fuzzy socks.

Although I have slipped on my behind on the stairs a couple times.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

37. I hear you about slipping....that is no good.....

If you look closely at the photo, you will see that the soles of these are leather.....sueded leather......

And this has a much lower risk of slipping....until it gets dirty, of course!

I have a lot of hardwood floors in my house, and I do NOT want to slip anywhere.....


:loveya: :hug:

[6000eliot]

36. Nothing frivolous about slippers

as far as I'm concerned, Peggy. I have restless leg syndrome, so I really suffer if my feet get cold.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

40. I'm so sorry that you have RLS, my dear 6000eliot.....

But at least you know one thing that will help you conquer it......

I had NO idea that cold feet would contribute to that syndrome...

Please take care of yourself........ :pals:

[6000eliot]

41. Thanks, Peggy.

I'm trying to avoid taking medication for it.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

43. Sounds like a good idea to me....for as long as you can....

Good luck with it! And, thank you for sharing it with me.....



:loveya: :hug:

[In_The_Wind]

44. Not exactly my style ...

But I agree with Chris they do look comfy ...

:thumbsup:

[SeattleGirl]

45. Hi Joan!

How are you? :pals:

[In_The_Wind]

46. Hi there SeattleGirl

I really doing okay for 2:42 in the morning ...

:hug::pals:

[SeattleGirl]

47. Are you a nightowl, or is this unusual to be up this late?

I myself am a nightowl, so it's a damned good thing I pretty much make my own schedule! And work from home!

[In_The_Wind]

49. I nap a little ...

Some nights I can manage to sleep straight on through till the dawn ...

Other nights I feel like visiting with my friends ...

I'm trying to think of a way to work using my computer. I am retired and find that I have way too much time on my hands. So I think that there must be something that I can do.

[SeattleGirl]

50. Check your PM n/t

[In_The_Wind]

55. We do have a lot to talk about.

Thank You very much! :thumbsup:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

48. My dear Joani!

Thanks for coming by.....

Well, of course, not everybody wants the same style.....

You need to have what suits you.....

Thanks...and they are extremely comfortable.......

[In_The_Wind]

52. The lil' ones pictured here are the ones I'm wearing for this winter ...

Your slippers do look like just the thing for a snuggly night at home.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

56. Ooohhh, those do look so nice......

You definitely need something very sturdy and warm in case you need to go out into the snow...brrrr.....

:pals:

Fleece slippers are wonderful, IMHO!

[In_The_Wind]

65. I do walk out in the snow in my slippers in the winter ...

I've even sprinted through the snow in my bare feet ...

but not lately ...

[AussieDave]

51. What's frivolous ?? They look so comfy !!

I go nuts if my feet are cold.........

[CaliforniaPeggy]

60. I'm with you on cold feet......I get nuts too......

When I said frivolous, I meant this thread...It's not exactly super-duper intellectual, you know!

These are very comfy!


:loveya: :hug:

[BamaGirl]

57. They look comfy and warm Peggy

Getting about time for me to trade in my flip flops for slippers. I'm really hoping the warm weather will hold out a little longer tho!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

66. Good morning, my dear BamaGirl!

Thanks for coming by last night.....

These are indeed warm and comfy......I love 'em!

Good to see you as always......Our warm weather is about over.



:hi: :hug:

[Crazy Guggenheim]

62. Aw how cute.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

67. My dear Crazy!

Sorry I missed you last night....I was headed for bed, and of course, after my computer's been on for several hours, it was not functioning too well.....

I thank you for your kind comments.....


:loveya: :hug:

[newyawker99]

68. LOL! They do look warm. Perfect for those

cold NYC days to come. :hi:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

69. My dear newyawker!

You're getting to be a regular in my silly threads...I like it!

They would indeed work in your cold NYC days......

Thanks for coming by today.......

[MadAsHellNewYorker]

:hug:

how you doing today?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

72. Hey MAHNY!

They ARE!

I am good, thanks!

Pretty soon my husband will be taking me out to lunch.....

The sun is shining, and it's beautiful today.....

I'm thinking of posting an article about the GAO and their findings in the 2004 election in Ohio.....Looks like they think there might have been election fraud there......Maybe in GDPolitics....what do you think?

Hope you're having a lovely day too!


:loveya: :hug:

[MadAsHellNewYorker]

73. I say post away!

In my opinion it does "look like" there was election fraud, but there was. Those assholse stole it AGAIN :grr:

it really makes me sad about our "democracy" though :sigh:

go enjoy lunch my dear Peggy! :hi:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

74. I thank you, my dear MAHNY!

My lunch was wonderful....Chicken Alfredo at the Olive Garden.....

Yuuuuummmmmmmyyyy.......heart attack on a plate.....

I'm going to research the article for a link....

Catch ya later, baby!

:loveya: :hug:
