Hi everyone. Hope everyone had a great and safe 4th. I went down to Miami to see family and a little quick vacay.

I was in the slammer for 6 days over something very very small. I was very surprised after all I've posted on here that was the one thing that got me, lol.

Thanks HawkJ for you're contribution to our country.

I think it was awful how our country treated some of the men coming home from the War. I still don't care for Jane Fonda much.

I was just a little kid during that time though, so I really didn't understand much of what was going on at the time.

I do however, remember the deal with gas stations and long lines, that was mid late 70's I believe.

You're talking about how the heat affects your water, I reckon -- and yes, THAT will never get fixed, but the boots helped keep a lot of that at bay.



And for the record, yes -- corn starch, baby powder and on occasion Gold Bond Medicated are your friends.

People freaked out the first time I mentioned corn starch; they'd never heard that, thought it was nonsense until I showed them how it was soft even compared to baby powder. The ONLY thing softer is genuine talc (not just ground, so-called "talcum powder" but actual TALC, like the French hussies use)!


God love them French hussies and their talc!
I tend to like Wolverine boots the best. They aren't cheap though. A good pair can run up to $150. You'll usually get at least three years out of them though as long as you have more than one pair, which I do. I have to switch them from day to day to keep my feet dry. I have three pair of steel toe work boots. Two Wolverines and one pair of CAT.
