Hi, my name is rotaryengine!
Hi, I am 81 years old and have been wearing Sketchers Slip-Ins but although they fit right they are tripping me. I think it is because the outside of the shoe is a lot larger and the sole thicker. The back of the shoe is extremely thick and stiff (I think that is what gives them the slip-in feature). Like a lot of seniors,ā¦

Not in my name
Yesterday I left the Labour Party and left them (Starmer, Reeves and UK Labour) a little love-letter on Twitter. It said this: Culpable lacunae. Intellectually lazy.
