These Chinese shoelaces last about a couple of months, THEN YOU HAVE TO BUY 2 PAIR, because they ONLY come 2 to a pack; velcro will outlast any of the CHINESE SHOES(only kind you can buy anymore)!!! As for the eyeglass holder, I always catch it & break it or my glasses,so, I buy a pair for each place that I need them...<br />That is the largest pygmy rattler I've ever seen, about 15" is a big one; but he sure is prettily marked!!! butterbean carpenternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7774004683471521654.post-58694530018157385982012-11-20T10:27:45.192-06:002012-11-20T10:27:45.192-06:00Great snake picture, that is pretty good sized for...Great snake picture, that is pretty good sized for a pygmy.

He went into his bedroom to take something out of his desk but he didn't turn on the light. He kept seeing flashing lights and couldn't figure out where they were coming from. Later he went back to put the stuff back in the desk and saw the lights again! Needless to say he ha purchase shoes with the flashing lights that kids wear! Velco straps and all. We call them Grandpas magic shoes and get a good laugh over it.

Velcro shoes reminded me of when Andy was young..here's a kid with a 130 IQ and couldnt tie his shoes, his 3rd grade teacher swore he would get married in shoes w/ velcro. If it helps make your recovery easier go for it. Just this weekend one of my regulars at the restuarant that I havent seen in a few weeks came in and he just had the full hip replacement and he said he couldnt believe how much pain he had been in before the surgery. He cant wait to get back on the tennis courts and his doctors said by spring he will be playing like he always has.Donna W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05019476423396804316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7774004683471521654.post-71076079970767003202012-11-19T05:56:36.720-06:002012-11-19T05:56:36.720-06:00The shoes look pretty snazzy to me...I hate have t...The shoes look pretty snazzy to me...I hate have to worry about rattlesnakes....ours have gone to hibernation for a couple of months.ain't for city galshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14938751007704247232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7774004683471521654.post-77495737341234812512012-11-19T05:01:50.375-06:002012-11-19T05:01:50.375-06:00Think of the velcro closures as being more efficie...Think of the velcro closures as being more efficient and you'll be all set.
