LittleMsP,
I know! Ca88andra said the same thing! Here in the states, we used to call them "thongs" but it doesn't seem to still be called that so often these days. Regardless, they're icky!

something else for your mind to ponder over...
here in Oz, we don't call them flip flops! We call them thongs! And yes a thong (floss that pretends to be underpants) is still a thong in lingerie terms - just a tad confusing don't you think?

Spitfire - the underwear variety are usually called g-strings and sometimes also called thongs.

What do you call thong underware down there? (The kind that has a strap right up the butt crack) I have actually heard (when living in Chicago) about flip flops being called thongs!

Blanche, sorry! I just noticed your next comments....
K, so no, I wasn't the original Spitfire and I don't even know how long ago there was a "Spitfire" cause last year, I actually tried to change my "handle" to
just Spitfire and was denied because someone else (even though they are no longer active and I don't even know when they
were) Seems like it's been a while, though. That's Blogit rules, though. Oh well. Alright, so about the spirit questions. Any time is as good as any. If you don't want to post it in a comment, feel free to privately email it to me. No problem. I've had more than the usual amount of reading appointments lately (not that I'm not grateful, of course!!) But I will certainly respond ASAP.

Lol Spitfire! You wouldn't survive in Australia. Flip flops are called thongs down here and they are practically standard wear for summer. Not only are there the basic variety, but there are now upgraded models suitable for any social situation. I've just bought myself some designer ones that will be worn for Christmas Day and probably New Years Eve too.

Hey, you,
I just did this whole thing, I went to check your blog and typed in Spitfire, completely forgetting that you are "Spitfire70". I just about had a heart attack when I saw "no blogs". Then Offbeats reminded me of your whole name. Whew. Blackcat did the same. Just wanted you to know that your presence is missed.
Besides, I have a question for you, about spirits. Maybe I should email you, but now may not be the time.

How much cough medicine did you drink, anyway?

My guess is mittens are usually for kids because the fingers held together are better for playing in snow. ...Keeps the hands warmer.
FlipFlops I can't explain. I just prefer to ignore them.
Merry Christmas!

It wasn't the faces that I meant when I said ''irritating.'' I was talking about my comment. Out of respect for the Blogit institution, I wanted to clarify that.

Interesting post, Spitfire....
I have to wear gloves in the winter because of my hands...but I hate 'em!! I never could wear flip flops either, 'cause of my damn spastic feet!!...
Like you though, I can't stand the feeling of anything in between my toes, so I guess it's a good thing after all I can't, huh?
Hope you're feeling a little better today. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!

I loved mittens as a kid!
I actually own a pair of flip flops, but I don't wear them as functional foot wear. They're more... one kid is drowing another in the pool so you put them on to keep from burning your feet on the patio type of foot wear. You know, that sort of thing.

Mittens are a better design than gloves in really cold weather. Because they don't separate the fingers, your hands stay warmer. Merry Christmas and a Happy and Productive New Year!

I'm soooo all about mittens.
My boss at my law firm called me Ally McBeal cuz I'd come to work in a full suit, all dressed up with the nice coat, and blue fleece mittens. I cried when I left them on the bus a year later. I did. They were my favorite.

LOL... yes. It's a new thing the last year or two. I don't really like
wearing gloves because I can't feel anything. Someone bought me mittens and I've found that they're easier to just take on and off to do things.... plus they're much warmer. LOL

spitfire,
I am with you on the subject of mittens and flip flops. I really hated flip flops (or the kind of shoes that make that flapping sound) when I worked in an office, and you could hear every flip and flop. I don't understand toe rings, either, ew.

I'm not sure if I've ever worn mittens...And I know I've never worn flip flops. I'm a footaphobic anyway and wouldn't even wear open-toed shoes until I was 34. But I draw the thing at the netween-the-toe thing! I hope you feel better soon. That can't be much fun on top of back pain.
