      Well, yes, but you do have a limited number of likes per day. There are <ahem> some of us who are a little free with our likes. Use them wisely. ;-)

  11. My new uniform pants are of the hip-hugged variety. I am constantly pulling them up because they feel like they're falling down. Ugh! Friggin' low bid! Off to save humanity ;)
