I just got these! Well, I just won the auction, I didn't get them yet, but they're paid for so they're technically mine now.

I was so amazed to find something so nice in my size! (10w) I even did a google search to see if I could find them to find out what the retail price is, but I couldn't find these exact ones. Similar ones of the same brand apparently retail for anywhere from 120.00 to 170.00. Guess how much I paid for them??? 6.99!!!!! It's nice to know there are benefits to having extra big feet, not a lot of people to get in a bid war with :P

They're not brand new, but apparently they were only worn one time, and there were other pictures that show the bottoms and from what I could tell they probably really were only worn once, none of the writing on the bottom was even a little bit worn off.

I'm so excited about these shoes!

Heeeeeeeeeeyyyyyyyyyyy!

Did you check with us about going shopping, Shilo?

I know it was on-line but an invitation would've been nice. :blush:

Great score though!

I never stop shopping lately. I'm going to need an intervention soon :unsure:

Got a bid on a sewing machine currently, lol. Cross your fingers for me, I REALLY want it, but I can't afford to raise my bid.

Good luck shopping Shilo. It's always fun finding a bargan and very therapeutic. It's good for you girl, in moderation of course. Kathryn

Congratz!

They look really feminine and pretty.

Love ebay-and have needed an intervention myself for years.Well a couple of people have tried actually-it'd take more than intervention for me at this point.

Enjoy those beauties.

Thanks ^_^ I also ordered a beautiful Green Sapphire ring for my sister, and a few more gems for my "Rock Collection". I even finally got an Opal! Been dying to get an opal since I started collecting. It's only itty, but it has a full range of dancing colors, it's beautiful. And I'm still the leading bid on that sewing machine *knocks on wood*

Got my shoes today ^_^

I haven't tried them on yet, though, since I'm still in my work shoes and heavy socks and they're all sweaty and gross. I'm a bit concerned though, they look a bit small :(

Not to worry Shilo!

There are plenty of us who are more than willing to take them off your hands.LOL

I've ordered several times from the U.S. and so far I haven't had to pay anything extra for duty. The trick is to keep your items 20.00 value or less, I think they ignore those. I'm expecting to have to pay duty on a Nintendo DSi we ordered for our daughters birthday, so if I do I'll let you know what they charged me vs the cost of the item.

My experiences importing from the US. YMMV

Items coming from the US are usually only charged the HorrendusSalesTax(HST) plus a handling charge of I beleive $10. It's been a while since I imported anything. That is if shipped via USMail(CanadaPost). Brokerage fees by courier companies are usually astronomical so I've avoided dealing with companies who do not ship via USPS(US Postal Service). Lower priced goods usually arrive with no "customs" charges attached. Ofcourse restricted goods are a different story.LOL

Huggs,

Joann

      We love udon noodles here! Sometimes we have the skinny Singaporean ones, sometimes we have rice, but those fat buggers are simply devine! 😍

      My Gen Z transwoman roommate and my Gen X drummer roommate and I made two wonderful stir fry in the traditional wok on the high power propane burner on the back deck.  We splurged both times and had udon noodles in them with brussel sprouts, pepper and onions with a peanut and sesame sauce.   Been having them with seasoned white rice lately too.  I've been enjoying putting dill in them with the toasted sesame oil, turmeric and white pepper.

      Good morning everyone,   It's grass cutting day here on our little corner lot. The sidewalk that goes along the south side of our house, leads to a city park so we get a ton of foot traffic on it. I keep the lawn mowed and the sidewalk edged for the best street appeal. Several in the neighborhood have said its the slowest part of the walk because they have to stop to look at the flowers or watch a bird at the feeder. All of the dogs know they have fun hugs coming from me if I'm in the yard, and the conversations with the neighbors also give their hearts a chance to reach a resting beat.   @April Marie while you're working on your tan, please don't forget sunscreen. @KymmieLgood luck with the job search, it's so stressful to be the punching bag at work. @WillowI've never sold a car to a friend or someone I knew. Buyer beware, sold as is.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      We pulled a leftover beef stir-fry out of the freezer. With Asian greens, noodles, cashews, all in a honey/sesame sauce.
    • Mirrabooka
      Oh @April Marie, sssstop it!!! 😍

      Whether it is Sunday or not - may I ask, how long does the whole process take?    My every-morning basic 'beauty routine' - shave face/wash/hair/other grooming already takes over 10 minutes. My wife is basically beating down the door, lol!

      We did pretty well for almost 40 years.   But by then we were kinda moving in different directions spiritually and on some other things.  I might have moved the most significantly.  I think my trans woman was trying to assert herself, although it still took a little more time for the egg to crack.     I was the one who moved out (although we had been sleeping in separate rooms for about a year).  I was satisfied to just be separated, but after a bit she filed for divorce.  I didn't contest it - our kids were all adults by then.  She remarried, I haven't.  Now her husband has died and she is back in this area.   Yeah, we are still friends, but sometimes it's hard for me if I've been around her.  I do miss her.  She uses my now name and gender for me.   I am lonely.  I think I could remarry, maybe, if I found the right person, but I don't see much chance of that.  I'm in my 70's, this is a pretty conservative area, and I am a transgender woman.  So this is how it is - at least for me.

      That is am what I planning on. Take the defensive driving class after the conviction and all goes away aside from the fine I pay. My vehicle is a commercial vehicle (10,000+ pound diesel pickup truck with commercial plates), but since I exclusively use it for personal use so I do not need or have a CDL.

      I seems like I am dreading going to my job more each day. So, I take it as a sign to jump ship. All the time I expect to be chastised. It is not a good way to have a job. I am on the hunt for a new one, however nothing has surfaced.   Kymmie

      I'm currently on the ballot for an open US Representative seat in Portland Oregon.  Here are some of the news stories on me:   Rachel Lydia Rand on Ballotpedia: https://ballotpedia.org/Rachel_Rand#Campaign_themes KATU 2 (ABC) Know Your Candidates 2024: Rachel Lydia Rand https://www.katu.com/news/know-your-candidates/rachel-lydia-rand-d-congress-district-3 League of Women Voters Candidate Forum for US Representative https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OOoS39CTEOw KOIN 6 Written Interview | top issues, what's going right https://www.koin.com/news/politics/rachel-rand-on-running-for-district-3-top-issues-whats-going-right/ League of Women Voter's Interview with Rachel Lydia Rand https://youtu.be/V5o9RKE3WVo     This is my third time running for US Rep.  Campaigning is very challenging for me because I only have two family members still alive and I've spent less than 2 weeks with them in my life and I have virtually no social network to start with and I don't belong to any social media sites.  I haven't even been able to post here and on sites like it because of rules about self-promotion.   I'm boldly saying in these videos that I want to be appointed to vice-president in the next 5 years.  My platform is about addressing climate change and everything that comes with it.  Population decline is the number one proposal I have and it is very, very scary and controversial for most people.  The way I see it is that oil is more than a fuel we burn in our cars, it's a substance we pave our roads with.  And it will run out, so at some point in the future, most of these roads are going to go away and we'll have a much harder time distributing food.  I play chromatic pennywhistle and I'm this iconic whistleblower politician saying that we will not be able to support 10 billion people at the end of the century on wind and solar power.  Even solar panels are made with oil and there isn't much difference between a wind turbine and a dam.  If we can build skyscrapers and nuclear power, then you'd think we'd be able to figure out how to make a wind turbine 100 years ago.  It's simply not as efficient.  The numbers I've crunched say that if we have one child for every two women for the next 40 years and then go back to normal replacement rate, we'll get our population down to 2 billion by 2099 which is where the world was at in 1950.  If we don't do that and stay on this current path for the projected 10 billion by 2100, then when oil runs out and climate change raises sea levels and floods coastal cities, humanity is going to be in a very uncivil situation.   I'm sorry that I'm not making a huge issue of transgender rights.  Of course I'm here to support our community.  I'd be highly visible on our national and international scene as a transwoman.  I tend to focus on engineering realities rather than these social issues.  It upsets me that people take engineering for granted.  People tend to just get in their cars and think that there will be some space age technical solution that will make it all OK.   OK, that's my rant for the day :-)  Coffee is on.  4:26am.  The ABC station is interviewing me again in a few hours and people can vote for me today.  Please consider spreading the word.  I'm only one person and it takes an incredible amount of effort to keep my political thinking and platform going.   Sincerely, Rachel Lydia Rand Jazz Musician | Software Engineer
