Why are women's dressy-ish cloths always either sleeveless or sheer? Hello, I want to be cute and warm, Thank you!!!

This is reason #489 why I sew.
- Spidra Webster
I've made myself a handful of outfits, but what it comes down to is that I just have a list a mile long of things I want to do, and that doesn't leave much time for sewing my own cloths. Just like sizes and shapes that actually fit real women, I also want designers to think about the fact that women are endothermic in our torsos and our arms and legs get cold easy. This is just nature here!! *sighs* I know I'm expecting too much here.
- Rachel Lea Fox
I guess that's why armwarmers and legwarmers are back?
- Spidra Webster
Maybe women's designers live in warm climates.
- Gabe
Many live in NYC and Paris, both get cold, and while I don't tend to buy big designers cloths they influence what designers further down the food chain.

I know what you mean, Rachel, especially when trying to pick out something nice for a special occasion during the fall and winter seasons. Although, I do find that I enjoy wearing Fall clothes more than clothes designed for other seasons. Fall, especially around these parts, is perfect for ensembles requiring a couple of layers (i.e. slacks w/ button-up blouse and a long, light trench...

Our Sunnyvale, CA yard haunt put on across two yards for local trick-or-treaters and anyone with a love of a few screams. hauntedfoxhollow.com It's a little dark, but you get the idea.

This is looking reallly scary! There is one such haunted house (owners decorate their house every year for Halloween) in Pleasanton, CA. And we never miss it.
- Petek(UCB)_
Petek, I might know them. There are a lot of yard haunts around and sometimes we get together and work on projects together. Ours is a little scary, but not gory and geared towards the kids!!
- Rachel Lea Fox
Rachel, this house that i talk about is really scary for children-even i myself got scared when I was chased by the Saw Guy!:)) and I guess it was a real saw.- the smell -... But this Halloween, i think it was a fake one:)) but people were still screaming and running around as the saw guy was chasing... i entered the House last year and i could not help screaming a number of times. Anyway, they are close to Valley road in Pleasanton.
- Petek(UCB)_
I'll have to ask who is in Pleasanton at the next meet-up. I hate chainsaws in haunts. It's a personal hate. It can be a real chainsaw, all you have to do is take the chain off and it is safe. I know this and yet it still scares me like crazy.

Why does firefox update it's program without asking me? Every other program not only asks me if it's okay to update but also asks for my password. But not firefox, it just does the update and then informs me that I need to restart my browser. This always seems to come at a time that I find inconvenient for restarting so I tell it later and...
for some reason from that point on (until I do restart) things work slow and hang and eventually firefox crashes. Why can't it just ask me if I'm ready for an update like every other program!??!! *sighs*

I haven't used Firefox in so long...actually, I've only been using Chrome.

:))) Rachel. All in all, women engineers can be both smart and good-looking as opposed to stereotypes.. I know a lot of them who can balance their personal and work lives and take good care of themselves at the same time...Thanks for sharing the link.
- Petek(UCB)_
we have lots of good-looking engineers here in Istanbul .. don't we? somebody here in this feed has to support me :) Petek .. i am just now talking to u .. Petek? where r u? Petek .. Peteeeeeekkk!!!
- stuck in the sky
Yes stuck..I guess so :)).. Unfortunately, I am not in Istanbul.
- Petek(UCB)_
but as a guess u can also say something about turkish pretty (!) engineers :) how long have u been there Petek? i will come to join u there sooner :)
- stuck in the sky
Stuck, I have been here for a while...You know what all my engineer friends are from Ankara! and yes my classmates are all nice and pretty ladies...and they are smart too...
- Petek(UCB)_
petek .. i was born in Ankara .. what a surprise .. hmmm .. tell me if i am wrong .. u graduated from ODTU .. didn't u? or Bilkent like me .. rachel gets more confused with every passing post eheheh ..
- stuck in the sky
yup, I am an ODTU graduate..
- Petek(UCB)_
then we won't talk to each other anymore petek .. i am from Bilkent hehehe ..
- stuck in the sky
Alright, so nobody will ever talk to me again after my confession: I am from Bogazici -neither Bilkentliler nor ODTU'luler like us- :)) but I definitely support your cause stuck, woman engineers in Turkey/Istanbul/Ankara ... are smart and beautiful..Yes we all are!
- Hande
Hande :))) this is cute:))) Btw, i have many friends from both Bogazici and Bilkent so i talk to everybody...I totally agree with you and moreover, women engineers, all over the world are smart and beautiful-We rock!
- Petek(UCB)_
hande .. i like ur school .. it comes after Bilkent in success u know .. i don't hate ODTUlüler but one day when i was a master student in my uni, they did not let me in to join to the fest in their uni .. this is why i do not prefer the engineers in ODTU :) moreover .. i had a girlfriend in ur uni .. the atmosphere in Boğaziçi was catastrophic (perfect) during those days .. i hope it is still like that ,, isn't it?
- stuck in the sky
as my confession .. i have lots of friends from ODTU .. what a shame :)
- stuck in the sky
The atmosphere is all the same as I hear from old friends..I miss the cats, the gorgeous Bosphorus view, watching films outside at night on 'Gunes meydan' with blankets and hot drinks,all my friends from Music Club..I miss every bit of my undergrad years..
- Hande
may i ask u a q hande? whr r u now?
- stuck in the sky
Cats, and dogs and the amazing view!! i love the Bogazici campus....i used to go to the alumni house almost two-three times a week when i was in Istanbul...and whenever i went there, i also sat by the "Manzara" and watched the ships go by:)))
- Petek(UCB)_
watching the ships .. it seems interesting :)
- stuck in the sky
yeah we ODTU people are just very interesting, stuck! i sat there, and just watched it.......
- Petek(UCB)_
I am a Turkish girl in Boston trying to finish her phd and a miyendis..:))
- Hande
then we decide that the campus of Boğaziçi is the best .. then bilkent of course and tail ender is ODTU .. heheh
- stuck in the sky
I bet it's the most beautiful campus in the world..
- Hande
i am planning to move to miami in a year .. do u have any info about there? asking both of u ..
- stuck in the sky
when you say phd, Hande, i must study!!!!!!! goodnight all:))) you know what you are jealous of our campus, Stuck- i dont like all building campuses..But yeah Bogazici campus is very beautiful-however it comes after Berkeley campus where you can also watch the ship go by in the Bay under biggggg red wood trees ;)) sorryyy..
- Petek(UCB)_
petek .. do not escape from the conversation .. come on!!! dont go anywhere .. u r kiddin ..
- stuck in the sky
tell me what u know bt miami ..
- stuck in the sky
I've never been there yet..The answer also depends on why you are coming and in what way you are asking this question..I have friends in Florida state uni. and I guess there is a somewhat big Turkish community (scholars) there..They say the cost of life is much cheaper than here in Boston-New York area and the weather is better..That's all I know.
- Hande
Petek. Disagree.. Boun campus has a waay better view than Berkeley.

Stuck, i really do not know much about Miami but if you ask about SF and California- i can be more helpful:)

i should search for an area which is going to be safety and comfortable just for surviving myself .. :)
- stuck in the sky
Petek. Btw, personally I don't adore Boun at all... I am just talking about the view (:
- Ozgur Demir
Ozgur, I am thinking about the overall campus.- Berkeley has a better campus for sure but yeah, view is i guess better on BOUN. but i really get good views from around Berkeley..have you been to Indian Rock, btw?
- Petek(UCB)_
Not sure, one of our friends was escorting us (she was a student there) I am not that familiar with that area. So maybe yes, maybe no (: don't know.
- Ozgur Demir
skip the views of campuses guys :) tell me bt miami ahahah .. what a selfishness
- stuck in the sky
Ozgur, Go to Indian rock to watch sunset:))) and have your dinner with you:)) you will thank me:))

- Ken Gidley
It was a lot of fun! I don't understand how you raised more money the first night vs the second? That is strange.
- Dario Gomez
We think it's a shifted perspective on Halloween itself. Off Halloween, you're a guest viewing a presentation someone has put together for you but on Halloween you're going around door-to-door collecting stuff from people. We also didn't push donations hard at all. If we just made the box more visible we'd probably collect a lot more. Nevertheless, the main point was entertainment, not fund-raising, so it was okay.
- Kevin Fox
Perhaps it was more friends/family on Friday, who have a more personal connection to Kevin/Rachel and know about the kitten fostering they do, too.
- Ken Gidley
Another excellent point.
- Kevin Fox
Amazing job, guys. It's obvious how much effort you put into this. One year i'll make it!
- Ryan Kaisoglus
Ken, I think you are right about the focus. Also on Halloween we had mostly trick-or-treaters who aren't carrying money around. Some of them had parents who might be, but not all parents went through, they just waited out between the driveways the way that they would if the kids were just going up to ring the bell. So they didn't see the donations bucket. Also at one point we...

Many parents don't carry much besides keys and phones while chaperoning their trick-or-treaters. Did your notice about the event mention donations for the kitties? I don't remember.

Anne, some did and some did not. We weren't pushing the donations real hard or anything. We were just looking at why Friday raised more than Saturday. People out on Halloween just aren't thinking about giving donations.
