This theme was touched upon in another thread and I wanted to discuss it further.

I felt the same way until I tried them on in the store-lol!! It was a little cooler out last night and they were perfect to go with my jeans as it was not a full boot and I am sooo not ready to close up my feet in boots yet-lol!!

I think they are more fall type shoes. I would never think to wear them in the winter and, anyway, I usually don't get many pedicures in the winter unless I am going away someplace warm-lol!

Because there is no reason to try to impress a stranger.

If they asked me outright, probably not. Because that would be very rude, and I would not reward their rudeness.



But, if the subject of the conversation was the economy, or real estate, or job searches (and therefore salaries), etc ... then I'd be pretty open.

I would not discuss salary IRL in a casual conversation. But I have when there was a reason for the question. I am the one who gets to decide if there is a legitimate reason or not.

I beg to differ. People can say anything online and 99.9% of the time the other person will not know if it is the truth.



I can say I make $15,000/year or $200,000/year. How would you (in general), a person online REALLY know?

Why would you consider it rude if you are willing to tell total strangers online your salary?

I don't think anyone (except my boss but I am sure she doesn't even remember)but my dh knows how much I make.

How does:

"I beg to differ. People can say anything online and 99.9% of the time the other person will not know if it is the truth."

in any way contradict my post of:

"Because there is no reason to try to impress a stranger."

Sure people can lie, (both on line and IRL) I never said that they could not but my statement that there is no reason to try to impress a stranger is a true statement.
