One caution....don't buy a pair of these shoes (from wherever) and think you can wear them all day right away...you'll give yourself shin splints if you wear them for a prolonged period of time before allowing your body to get used to the balance shift....just an FYI.

Sometimes you just can't beat the originals.
I know betenoire's in the market for some. And, uh, I think Ezee really wants a pair, too, but has his heart set on the Skechers

Thanks for the link and advice, always2late.

A coffee table, desk, and tv stand. I liked all of it!

Of course I didn't put any of it together. In fact, I probably went into the other room or left the apartment while an S.O. tried to follow the directions and assemble.

hee.

It is much more beautiful than it sounds.

I like some of Ikea's stuff too, I think the key is making sure you are not the one putting it together...or....ignoring the directions and using the diagram.

My vanity chair is from Ikea and I love it and we have a ton of their stuff at work! IT has rollers and is very sturdy! I am rough on my vanity.

I just make sure someone else either puts it together, or leaves me completely alone while I do.

What does not really work is:

Orange Glow for hard wood floors.....it makes everything sticky.

I'm just sayin - if you put this with Durrrr's Blow Up Buns......

Pedi Paws. Was a complete load of crap. Maybe it was because I tried using on Samson, the Giant Schnauzer - it mighta worked on the minis but I never found out. Said Pedi Paws is somewhere in a cornfield, near a river, on a plantation in Virginia - heh.

Totally agreed. I tried it on my Shepherd mix, but she's not really good at sitting for the 8+ hours it would've taken to get them filed down with that two-bit piece of equipment. Returned to store.

I bought this pillow at JCPenney's to help with a neck issue. It was great while it lasted - all 4 - 5 months. The bumper support completely flattened out where my neck lay, which of course defeated the whole purpose. I'm glad I got it on sale, at least. Normally, they run around $60.

Then Durrr won't know if Hy's coming or going. On the other hand, Durrr might think they're for the wrists.

I looked this product up after you posted this, apocalipstic. People who used it were enraged at what it did to their hardwood floors, and they all had great difficulty removing the residue. One reviewer was so upset, she wanted to know if others wanted to go in with her and file a lawsuit against the company.
