nancia thanks for the tip on the cross dresser - how do you know of such establishments - unfortunately I have lived such a sheltered life in our little hamlet in SE MN that I haven't been exposed to anyone that is a cross dresser. If I want something beautiful I have to travel to the Cities and visit a specialty shoe shop - they just cost more so you need to be certain it's a need and not just a trendy want. Not traveling south any time soon so Dallas is out. Tennis shoes, sandles and work boots - thank goodness I never got bit by the shoe bug.

Different topic - looking for suggestions pro/con

This morning while doing a little ironing before work I jambed up the steam button and now need to replace my iron;
suggestions are welcome.

Thank you for your advice/help.

2 thoughts on irons--1) black and decker steam iron about $10 at wally world and every place they sell irons. very hard to kill!
and 2) dry iron about $30. no steam but a wonderful iron for fusing applique' and any time you don't want to shrink the fabric while pressing. available on amazon and also home depot.

i have NOT lived a sheltered life. when i get to heaven there should be very little left of me. already i tell people i'm like diet no-caffiene coke. look the same on the outside but nothing real inside. lol. my dearest friend is a florist and i have worked retail when not teaching. both are prime gay fields. i have been invited to drag shows and gay bars and had a blast! if it's not illegal i'll try it. i'm hoping this is my last time through reincarnation roulette. but if not i look forward to doing it all again!

I have the hardest time finding shoes. These were just meant to be. I don't have the shoe bug though, that's my mother. She can wipe out a Payless shoe store and not think twice if she has "mad money" to spend. I hate buying shoes though. It takes me half the summer to find sandals I like, and even then I usually end up getting them in Europe. I do love my Harley-Davidson boots though. I'm always on the lookout for another pair exactly like them, but I think they're discontinued now.

OK, off to sew. I'm not working tonight and that's final!

I have some used Harley Boots that I will sell you if its what you want, they are either 10.5 or 11.

I tried to upload a sneak peek but he site wouldn't let me, but here are some hints: lots of batiks and the zip code totals 18. I will try later to upload a picture.

OOHHH sikesjj that could be me. I love batiks and my zip is 18.
