Christer,
I’ll take the pity!

Those were the boots when I was a kid and that was a long time ago.

At school all our outside clothes stayed in the cloakroom. I guess the coats dried, but I don’t remember.

Hi Caryn,
I could, but then that door wouldn’t be secure and Gracie jumps against sometimes when she sees another dog invading her neighborhood. I need the door secure against her. I am going to get a different piece than the one I have. I noticed a different one on my back storm door which was just put on a year ago.

I do have boots but they are shoe boots which tie. I never wear them.

John,
I know exactly what you mean. I figure that once your head connects all the things that could go wrong, they keep going wrong. It’s like living down to expectations.

Minicapt,
One of those places is nowhere near the water.

Hi Kat,
Can you apply a hammer to the offending bit of door in such a manner that it will never offend again? Without, of course, actually breaking anything. The step ladder planter sounds really cool, though.

We had the galoshes with the fold over metal buckles. We rarely buckled them all the way because it just took too long so we clanked a lot. Now I have snow sneakers with fold over Velcro tabs. I don’t always close them up either. Old habits die hard.

I do feel sorry for You even if I smile when reading this

I don´t know anyone that ever had their shoes in the rubber boots. I have to ask my mother if they ´did like that when they were young. But we had much the same problems getting those rubber boots of too. But it was our socks that always got stuck in the boots.

We took them off when we got inside the class room and placed them by the radiators so they would get dry. If they didn´t we had much the same problems getting them on again when we were going home again But I remember our teacher always helped us if they got stuck.

It´s one of those mornings when I just don´t feel warm even if I stand beside the stove. But it´s 33F outside and will stay there for a couple of days.

Have a great day now!
Christer.

I get entire weeks like that.
You know. When Murphy’s law rules your entire existence and not only does everything go wrong, it finds a way to go wrong many more times than twice.
Not only can you not find the right wood screw you need to finish a project, but you drop the pan with the odd sized screws while looking for one. And you drop it on the garage floor. And the floor is wet with melting slush. And the car’s parked in the garage so sweeping the screws up is almost impossible without moving the car. But you can’t do that, ’cause you’d have to move the car over the spilled screws and take the chance of puncturing a tire. And it’s dark. And you did the very same thing on Monday. And,,,,, it’s only Wednesday.
Yeah, weeks like that.

Greg,
What? I never knew about the wonder bread wrappers. No one I knew used them. If only….
