I am giving away every pair of heels I have basically. I can't get rid of my wedding shoes because they are beautiful just to look at. But I have accepted that I truly can't deal with putting all of my weight on the ball of my foot. Fine, I can wear flats to work right? NO! I can't even find flats to wear! I have read internet reviews about how to deal with them cutting into the back of your ankles. I can deal with that by putting on bandaids and/or just lining the shoe itself with moleskin. What I can't fix or deal with is the blisters or just straight cuts that I get on my toes. Sometimes my pinkie toe is squished. Sometimes it just rubs the top of my foot raw. I get cuts on the top of the ball of my big toe. Do I have abnormally fat feet? Are they too tall to wear flats WTF! I have tried comfort brands like Naturalizer, Dr. Scholls, Aerosoles no luck! My best bet is wearing rocketdog stupid silk flats which have no bottom. Even my pair of crummy flat ones from the Gap fit-ish but the ribbon they used on the edges rub. So really my only option is to carry shoes with me. I like an actual bottom to my shoe so I won't feel every rock I step on. My best flat ever was probably Chinese Laundry Varsha Glacier and they don't have them anymore. The sole is a big giant hole in my pair. I didn't realize it was such a problem otherwise I would have just bought more. I refuse to even try any pair of flats with elastic. I don't want my shoes to come curled up because that means there is no bottom.<br />
At this point I am up for trying anything. I am starting to look at the uglier end of the spectrum at these types of flats with almost sneaker style soles.<br />

I can't wear booties with a skirt all summer otherwise I would just do that but it isn't a good look.<br />
<br />
After I find a pair of flats, I can go back to hunting for a pair of leather sandals with a strap. Ugh I can't even remember how many pairs I have sent back to Zappos at this point.Another Sad Internet Chickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02045267708673972164noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3404306072945938325.post-71057732960913158752014-06-14T16:58:00.001-07:002014-06-14T17:17:52.216-07:00How to buy a carBecause you don't want to be the 45 year old dragging your father out to do your car negotiating for you. Or a 70 year bringing your son- here is how to buy a car.<br />
1. Figure out your monthly payment from your budget. Use the internet to figure this out. If you do not budget, don't buy a car.<br />
2. Multiply your payment by your maximum term. Do you want special financing rates? Those generally max out at 60 months. 72 months is common but stretching the value. Looking at used only? How long your term <u>can </u>be depends on a combination of the year of the vehicle and the mileage.<br />
Example: I can afford $200 a month payment for 72 months= I am paying $14,400 with <b>tax </b>and <b>interest. 200X72= 14,400</b><br />
3. Realize that this amount isn't going to get you very much car. Weigh your options-<br />
a- lease!- I will write a separate post about how nice leasing is.<br />
b. up your budget.<br />
c. settle<br />
4. Okay lets use a reasonable amount now- $350 X 72= $25,000- (I took some off for fees) again with tax and interest.<br />
So how much can the VEHICLE cost?<br />
<i>EX.</i> Total amount- tax= Cost X 1- tax rate= 25,000 X 1-.07= 25,000 X .93= $23,250.<br />
- Interest rate<br />
5. Interest? I can always get 0% financing.<br />
<br />
No you can't. Really. Lets plan for 2%<br />
<br />
On $20,000 of vehicle you are looking at around $2,000 of interest. Just go with it. The formula is complicated.<br />
<br />
So moral of the story is really for a $250 payment you should be looking at cars right around $20,000.<br />
<br />
<br />
6.Now you get to do some research! What kind of vehicles are in this price range?<br />
Sticking with the $250 payment- small cars or used. Were you hoping for more? Lots of options?<br />
Now again you have the option to increase your budget or settle.<br />
<br />
Serious research questions-<br />
A. Reliability and cost of ownership- What are the <b>real </b>costs of service?<br />
B. How long are you planning on keeping this vehicle?<br />
C. Capability- Do you live in snowy CT or bone dry AZ?<br />
<br />
Now I am going to divide this into 2 more blog posts- NEW purchases vs. USED purchasing tips<br />

Quick, easy read. I didn't know that the anti-vaccine movement has existed for so long. It really seems to be growing and picking up steam in this era of social media but it was all started in 1982 by a television program.<br />
<br />
This book seems to really tie in with an article I read the other day- The end of expertise. Social media is allowing everyone to shout their "informed opinions" from the rooftops. Who should you listen to about your child's health- the other parents you know on facebook, or little ole' me without kids but with a degree in public health? You should listen to me. I know how to read scientific articles and I have done so and examined the evidence. The internet is chock full of information. A lot of it is wrong. Many people still quote the very discredited Andrew Wakefield. Every anti-vaccine movement seems to anoint one doctor to be the crowning researcher to discover the horrible side-effects. That was Andrew Wakefield was to the autism- <span id="docs-internal-guid-1004af54-b52d-809f-15d6-9b3621cf8c89"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">thimerosal</span></span> crowd. At this point, his doctors license has been removed and his articles have been redacted from the journals that published them. Now the people that are anti-vaccine are conspiracy theorists so they believe that this is because the medical establishment is HIDING them. Instead, this is the standard that scientists hold each other to, they found that he had changed his data which is completely unacceptable. Yes, that is right, I called anti-vaccers conspiracy theorists. I put them on the same plane as people who think 9-11 was a conspiracy or that the JFK assassination was a set-up.<br />
<br />
Now you may ask what is the real danger of some parents making bad choices for their own children? Well the problem is the kids that can't get a vaccine. AV have even twisted this to show that it implies that vaccines don't work. The problem is that vaccination rates are now really really low in some areas. The flu strain this year is a resurgence of H1N1. This strain can kill young, healthy people aka the people least likely to get the vaccine.<br />

Most women will use some form of birth control for the majority of their adult lives. However, the side effects are not always clearly communicated and there are few effective alternatives to estrogen based contraceptives. Much has been done to study the relationship between oral contraceptives and breast cancer as the rate of breast cancer increases.<br />
<br />
The meta-analysis by Kahlenborn, Modugno, Potter, & Severs (2006) looked at 34 studies conducted before 1980 involving oral contraceptive use and breast cancer detected before menopause. Across all of the studies there was a strong correlation between contraceptive use and breast cancer. They found that there is no effect on length of time taken for risk of development for women who do not have children. However, risk decreased among women who gave birth if they waited until after their first child to take oral contraceptives. There are known problems with using meta-analysis for confirmation, studies may be picked in a way that introduces bias and there is publication bias. Also, the doses of hormone in birth control has varied significantly when the women studied would have been taking it. This study demonstrated that there is a consistent relationship. The women involved in these studies ranged across SES, race and many other factors.<br />
<br />
A Swedish case-control study by Jernström et. al (2005) was conducted using questionnaires and chart readings. They focused on women who had started birth control before age 20. They found that for every year before 20 that women had taken birth control, their was a significant increase in cancer risk. They acknowledged the possibility of recall bias but they confirmed their findings with the available medical history. This study demonstrated temporal causality.<br />
<br />
This does not mean this hypothesis is universally accepted. The study by Westhoff (1999) accepted the opposite of the hypothesis in the other articles even though they had almost the same results. She associates the increased incidence of breast cancer with population growth instead of the popularity of birth control. Although increased risk of breast cancer is gone after 10 years of being off oral contraceptive, it does not diminish the effect that it could possibly have during those years. Also some women take contraceptive for reasons other than contraception even after menopause. When women develop breast cancer who are still using oral contraceptives, they have less serious diagnoses. This could be a surveillance effect since they have more routine checkups in order to obtain the contraceptives.<br />
None of the studies I reviewed touched on specific types of contraceptives used and dosage levels. Further evidence in this area would support or could disprove the hypothesis if it indicates a plausible or coherent argument. <br />

I do, constantly. This time it was eggs. Of course I had started baking at 10:40, so too late to go them. If I had been cooking, not baking or if I had it I would have used apple sauce. But that isn't really abundant in my kitchen. So I used a oil to water ratio of 1:2 tablespoons, for a total of 3 tablespoons, apparently the weight of an egg. Between this substitution and my lack of a mixer to go the creaming, I will give these muffins the benefit of the doubt regarding the texture and make them again. They were a little dense with a thick crumb. <br /><br />My inexperience caused me to push the raspberries too far into the dough so they became little pits, which is still cute and delicious. <br /><br />The real downfall of this recipe is that I skinned 2 lemons for peel, and didn't use any of the juice. I want more lemony-ness!<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_cRJWBZhPgU4/TFzwZtRYd1I/AAAAAAAAAEg/WHafK815954/s1600/IMG_0406.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_cRJWBZhPgU4/TFzwZtRYd1I/AAAAAAAAAEg/WHafK815954/s400/IMG_0406.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5502537169179801426" /></a><br /><br />Look how puffy and happy they look then...<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_cRJWBZhPgU4/TFzxH3BtSRI/AAAAAAAAAEo/RI0QOZh6Nww/s1600/IMG_0414.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 396px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_cRJWBZhPgU4/TFzxH3BtSRI/AAAAAAAAAEo/RI0QOZh6Nww/s400/IMG_0414.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5502537962072394002" /></a>Another Sad Internet Chickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02045267708673972164noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3404306072945938325.post-51413500090503884852010-08-05T21:00:00.000-07:002010-08-05T21:16:05.565-07:00Summer 2010I abandon blogging when my life is going smoothly apparently. <br /><br /><object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/UPv3eou3Ltg&hl=en_US&fs=1?color1=0x006699&color2=0x54abd6"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/UPv3eou3Ltg&hl=en_US&fs=1?color1=0x006699&color2=0x54abd6" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object><br /><br /><object width="640" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/y40TsOIpuEU&hl=en_US&fs=1?color1=0x234900&color2=0x4e9e00"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/y40TsOIpuEU&hl=en_US&fs=1?color1=0x234900&color2=0x4e9e00" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="385"></embed></object><br /><br />My favorite to thing to come from New Haven CT.

I want to stand out. I hate this city of phonies, all vying for power. But I act like one of them, waking up early, commuting while reading in my $250 suit. I feel like an imposer, I want to get home and change back to myyy clothes right after work. I am so much more comfortable in a band shirt. There are certain things that I would wear normally like this floral print dress, because it is so bright and well fitted that I have to wear a sweater over it. I like to think that someday someone will see me commuting and recognize that I am always listening to music. I want someone to ask what I am listening to. Recognize that I am trying to not be one of them. But don't I eventually want to work here? I walked by the IMF and WB and though cool I could have an office there! Isn't that why I am not getting a full sleeve of tattoos? (ignoring the pain and cost) <br />Maybe not wanting to be one of the crowd it indie, but thats how I have been for forever. I blame my mom. What did she think she was teaching me, decorating our house with south west stuff.

We are all becoming stupid and apathetic. People are easily manipulated by politicians when they have no idea what they are talking about. Throw around some facts and figures and everyone will believe you. <br /><br />This may have something to do with reading Amusing Ourselves to Death, but I thought this before I read that book I swear. <br /><br /><a href="http://www.goreyography.com/west/paper/paper01.htm"></a><br /><br />Next on to- <br />Religion <br />(this is not complete and is subject to change at the will of my logical reasoning)Another Sad Internet Chickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02045267708673972164noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3404306072945938325.post-50919320673766887592010-05-05T08:03:00.000-07:002010-05-06T23:57:02.869-07:00Songs that Go Together... like peanut butter & jelly<br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/obU0jMbhfdc&hl=en_US&fs=1&color1=0xcc2550&color2=0xe87a9f"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/obU0jMbhfdc&hl=en_US&fs=1&color1=0xcc2550&color2=0xe87a9f" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br />So you probably know the B.O.B. version with Haley William (who is beautiful) but this is the original version, its upsetting they sold the song because they could have used it to make it big.

Instead reflecting on life seems more relevant after staying up all night.<br /><br />It really is because after I turn in this paper it won't matter. Just something I put work into that never goes anywhere. I am thrilled and so excited to take classes I am passionate about next year. I want to want to learn again. I am like that now in one of my Africa classes.<br /><br />But what I was really thinking about as I looked at the clouds covering Albany is meeting people. Strangely I was thinking that in one direction is one ex-boyfriend, another the other way across the river. Then that other kid is off in the distance that way. Then there are all the faces I forgot about or pushed out of my memory scattered across campus. <br /><br />Sometimes I think that I am not actually crazy at all. I am just acutely aware. When I have time I actually like to sit down and figure out shit. Everyone else is running around hiding who they really are. I am just throwing it all out there all the time. Thats not true, my job makes me hide. RL has helped me master the fake enthusiasm. Its a life-long skill. I can smile and be perky and loud and energetic and helpful as soon as I choose. Unless my boyfriend broke up with me 5 minutes ago. I need like 30 minutes to stop crying then I can go be fake. Really, trust me, I did it. I was cheery with my big red puffy eyes. Why is it that we are supposed to act like we always are there to answer your question? Why is it not allowed for me to be moody, have a bad day, not want to talk to you. Can't you ask someone else right now? Welcome to the service industry I guess. Thats what happens when you live where you work?<br /><br />Did you know I have 7 unnatural holes in my body? <br /><br />Right, getting back to me standing out. I think if you recorded my thought process for a whole day, it would fit in with most people on this campus. Why is it that I am so weird then? Actually I am not weird I just want to stand out. Where most people want to fit the norm, i don't like being categorized with other people. <br /><br />Okay I need to go write 4 more pages on racial identity.<br /><br />~you can always find something to be happy about~Another Sad Internet
