I saw those featured on a tv program this week. I love how they can become cleats on the bottom when you flip them with the key! I should probably try to get a pair, there is ice everywhere right now, but especially on the driveway and street.

Hi @lyra interesting. I haven’t seen these advertised anywhere.
@canuk-gal recommended this brand to me. I’m excited to wear them.

@missy It was a Canadian daytime talk show, Cityline. They were doing a feature on winter boots. I thought the grips were the bees knees!

I just had to say I love the expression..”the bees knees!”

Me too and here's a little bit of background on the origin...I was curious so thought maybe you would be too.

What is the origin of the phrase the bee's knees?

The phrase "the bee's knees", meaning "the height of excellence", became popular in the U.S. in the 1920s, along with "the cat's whiskers" (possibly from the use of these in radio crystal sets), "the cat's pajamas" (pajamas were still new enough to be daring), and similar phrases that didn't endure: "the eel's ankle", ...Nov 3, 2011

And you know I love the cat's whiskers and the cat's pajamas too

Thanks Missy! I remembered hearing that expression in old movies and loved it then too!

I lost one of my bracelets a few months ago. I’m heartbroken over it..I looked everywhere for it and I have no idea where it is. Truth be told I think my husband lost it. I keep a small pouch in my purse for charge receipts..The bracelet had snapped so I put it in the little pouch until I could get to the jeweler to have it fixed. My husband was looking for a receipt and took my pouch. He says he put it back but that man loses more things..so I think he did something like throw it out..or I’ll find it in some odd place years from now..at least I hope so...Anyway..I know I’m rambling but please bear with me because I will get to the point soon! I looked on eBay and found one almost identical to it..I don’t think it’s the same quality but it’s sooooo close I’m so happy! It’s coming Tuesday. The first pic is my lost bracelet (yes I took a pic of it ) and the bottom is the new to me bracelet coming Tuesday! I’m so happy!

Thank you @missy! I definitely will but I’m not expecting much in the way the diamonds will sparkle...You never know though!

 

[AGBF]

That bracelet is beautiful, Mamabean. I love it.

[MamaBee]

Thank you @AGBF! The new to me bracelet has a date with my Magnasonic when it arrives! I hope the little diamonds hang on!

@missy those boots are amazing looking! If I had known what this winter would bring, I might have had the sense to buy snow boots... Oh well, staying inside drinking hot chocolate and snuggling with dogs while we watch the snow fall... Again...

I fried these banana fritters last night in an attempt to preserve my glut of home grown bananas

I think I fried around 30 - 40 bananas! They freeze and reheat crispy like chicken nuggets!

Haha I'm proud of myself so showing off!

Sounds yummy! Home grown? You must be somewhere tropical!

Hot old Australia! In winter the bananas are a little smaller and less crop but in summer they go nuts!

I’m heading out on vacation next week and I realized that I don’t have any shorts.

The only store selling shorts in the local mall is American Eagle. I walked in there and the teenager working asked if I needed something in particular. When I said shorts, she made a face and said they don’t sell any long shorts, sorry.

So um FYI all, I’m officially too old for booty shorts.

LOL well I am too old to even know what a "booty" short is.
Have a good vacation @chemgirl. I would love to escape this cold weather we are having and visit @mellowyellowgirl for some yummy fried bananas.

ETA OK I think I just got what a booty short is from the context...those are short shorts that show the booty? YupI am definitely too old for those.

Lol @missy I don’t show my butt either. These were maybe 2 inches of inseam so definitely short, but everything would be contained!

I’m going to Australia and it’s looking hot.

I am so stinking excited! The music festival I like to go to has a mediocre lineup this year. Why is that good? Well.... Because it got me thinking that for that $$$ I could go to Vegas and see someone I have always wanted to see. DH says I should go for it! Now I just have to get the tickets, find hotel, flights, and survive the next 18 weeks of school.

I missed my ups delivery from DK! I need chocolate..

 

[TooPatient]

I missed my ups delivery from DK! I need chocolate..

Oh no! Sounds like you need chocolate and wine!

Is it possible to call them and get it held at the distribution center for you to pick up? FedEx and UPS do that for me please easily. The post office is hit or miss, but it has happened a couple of times....

He didn’t give me that option..Last time I requested Fedex and I picked it up. This time he just sent it UPS without the option to pick it up..so...I will have to try and be patient. My cluster ring is also coming from England today..the one in my avatar...I hope I love it because it’s not returnable...:roll
