The REO Lounge - Part III

[boilednuts]

I texted cappy this morning...no response...I called a couple hours later, left a voicemail..no response...called again a while ago, left a voicemail...still no response......and he always calls me back right away if he doesn't pick up the phone right when I call.

I'm very very worried. The last time he called was last Sun. afternoon, this is not like him at all. I'm pretty sure you can use a cell phone either in the hospital or on the grounds, so I don't know if Carol is in the hospital and very near the end...or if cappy's in the hospital himself. I don't know what else to do...

Maybe a difficult time for him Kay, I would hang on till further notice

thanks for the link those do look nice

My oldest son once wanted to borrow them, ending up taking it to LA with him. That was like 5 years ago and hasn't bought any other brand of shoes since. Whenever he needs a new pair he calls me to find them online.

is there a cheap place to get them ?

For work - i buy hi-tec boots from Academy - they run me about $50 and i have never had a pair last me less than a year in daily use. Gel insoles and you're golden.

I walk all day at work and good shoes are vital for me - i try them on for at least 10 mins and walk all up and down the store - if they are tight or pinch or rub my heels - i move on. HRH has stopped going with me now whenever i have to buy some.

I'm a member of ebates.com and you get a discount buying through them (sometimes the store may run a double discount special). Stores include shoes.com, shoebuy.com, tons of stores on most anything. I see shoebuy has 14% off through ebates now. Joining ebates is free and every 3 mos or so they send you a check. I stick with shoe companies that have free ship for purchase/exchanges. To find the right color and size you need may need to search a lot. I also search for additional coupons online for each particular store so it can be rewarding. The shoe which I posted was about $160 here in honolulu about 8 years ago and about $110 when I first found them online so the price has come down since.

Waterproof Red Wings for me. Great for those dewey lawns and i get over 2 years out of a pair. Wicked lightweight too. Nunn Bush all terrain slip-ons for days off.

Shoebuy via ebates would have been same price but about an $8 check would have been mailed to you. Still excellent price though. Like I said I spent a lot more than that

edit: Dang yer quick!!! I was gonna suggest you find a Merrell B&M store and try'em on first

 

[supertrunker]

For ultra-slow i-don't-give-a-monkeys days off - i wear sandals - but not flip flops. Leather proper jesus creepers.

If the neighbours are home i'll even pull my beergut in!

Georgia Boots fan here. Yes, they are made in China but they are well disigned and hold up well. Back in the day when I worked as a chokersetter under a tower, American-made caulk-boots were a must at over $200 a pair but now that I've become an old fart, I don't need caulk boots and as an equipment operator--Georgia Boots have served me nicely. That said, I've never paid retail for a pair. I find them on close-out somewhere for half-price. They're good boots but not worth MSR price.

i been wanting something just like this for quite a while

In Hawaii when you go to the beach you wanna wear something that you can wash the sand off from. When the sand ends up in your carpet (auto/home) its a beach to get it out. Rental cars charge you extra here if there's sand in the vehicle (carpeting/trunk).

 

[supertrunker]

Sand in a Trunk sounds unpleasant! But then car rental companies are a rip off anyway - was cheaper to just buy a knackered old car! So i did - ask Scott!

I used to just err borrow the company truck - i'd never have got there in that jalopy.
