I sure wish thin mints made you thin. Sigh.

Of course most guys are not "into" shoes as much as women so that might explain men making them last especially when they are comfortable shoes.

Sounds like maybe he needs to move to somewhere warm where there are less chances for ice. You know you have been in Chicago too long when you hate winter that much.<br /><br />The "thin mints" line...hilarious!<br /><br />I buy shoe polish fairly regularly but it lasts quite awhile. I wear loafers with jeans that I polish and my husbands Florsheims or whatever his work shoes are these days get polished regularly.

We have a 'cobbler' in town too, he's very 'senior' and I feel like shoe repair is becoming a lost art. We still have heels repaired, etc., but it feels like something people don't bother with so much. They'd rather buy new.jodaleyhttp://joyce-fromthissideofthepondnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29376160.post-59909581530994773632014-01-17T17:11:36.945-06:002014-01-17T17:11:36.945-06:00Thanks for taking the survey.

"All Things Considered" is another favorite radio show. Radio shows entertain you while still allowing you to do other tasks.lislemanhttp://afcsoac.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29376160.post-6728084697273544342014-01-17T15:42:01.346-06:002014-01-17T15:42:01.346-06:00My Hubby is a huge fan of Wait Wait.
