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

Running away in zig-zag pattern with my head down incase of 12-gauge fire coming my way.

Huggs, :wub:

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

      A maxi dress with blue and white and some Berkenstock style flip flops.

      @April Marie Yes, it's something to shop for at least for 6-8 weeks.

      Definitely points to learn and keep in mind.  A bunch of stuff I had put in mental "cold storage" thawed out a bit there and ready again to run through my mill.  As said, a bit long and as usual from her a tad bit challenging.  Overall I see it and can use it as a working hypothesis.

      Yes,I hate that     Also finding out I might be father of a 24 year young lady.I had an one night stand with a woman off base when I was in the army.Called this afternoon and said I am possibly the father of her now 24 year old daughter.Told her I will agree with a paternity test that will be done.

      Yeah.  I like Nebula, that was where I watched it.   I posted the YouTube cause I figured more people could see it.
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      We agree on most of this... and the church/state thing is kind of a tangent anyways. Oops. LOL   I think it has long been established that all different kinds of groups have access to public funds. In my opinion, either everybody has access or nobody does. I would prefer "nobody."   Relying on public funds gives the government the power to take it away, and puts that power in the hands of whatever group controls the government at the moment... the news article that is the topic of this thread shows a clear example of that happening.  Organizations trust government at their peril.

      Fantastic news! Thank you for updating us.
    • Davie
      More info on Abigail Thorne here: https://go.nebula.tv/philosophytube and, Dracula's ex-girlfriend, on Philosophy tube.   "The reason why Nebula is so cheap for what it is, is because there's no upper hierarchical group looking yo skim off the top. Imagine how much cheaper EVERYTHING could be if it was like that for every other service or product; if the money went straight to workers, not up a chain of command until it reached someone who did exactly "jack" to produce what's being sold.

      I'm aware that the young US ended up fighting a war with these people, and that phrase was not meant to address Church & state.  But somebody was willing to include it at the time.   I am also aware that your family arrangements would not go over well with most christian nationalists.  But that is kinda where I'm coming from on this.  I believe you and others of us with an unconventional lifestyle should be free to live as we desire - as long as we are not hurting anyone else.  And by "hurting" I don't mean only their feelings.   Using christianity to justify oppression is just wrong.  As is forced conversion, or forced conversion therapy.   Regarding public funds, LGBTQetc people have as much right to them as straight-cis folks.  I'm not arguing that queer people have more rights, just equal rights.

      Even better news:  It turns out for my sister it was cardio not stroke. She’s put on new blood thinner and sent home. False alarm! Yay.

      Things have changed since I've been on HRT for about 15 years. The consequence is I am not so concerned about how I present all the time.  I wear t-shirts a lot. I am pragmatic in how I shop. No, I don't want to look male, but will buy some male clothing because it fits. I am tall and built like a football linebacker, so buying women's clothes that fit can be difficult. For one I have no problem buying men's sneakers if they can pass as unisex. I wear size 12-13 women's shoes. And that can be hard to find. And, I don't like wearing slacks without pockets. I use pockets for work.    I've learned to be pragmatic. I dress up when I want to go out in public, and not so much at work. I do have a favorite blouse that accentuates the girls. And one blue striped blouse where I wear a cami top.

      https://www.patheos.com/blogs/danthropology/2016/05/secularists-please-stop-quoting-the-treaty-of-tripoli/   ^^^ an interesting piece about the treaty, written by an atheist.   I totally understand why the Christian nationalist stuff makes people uncomfortable. For me, it is uncomfortable in a different way, as modern Christian nationalism is not nearly as "generic" as the views of the Founders.  Its specifically Evangelical.  I'm in a plural marriage, so definitely not approved of.    I believe the intent of the Founders was to uhold generic Christian ideas... "in God we trust" and "there's a God who created the world and He wrote ten commandments for us" sort of stuff.  Nothing beyond that, nothing specific enough to use against folks.
