The Shoe Stop and The Shoe Carnival both have insane markups on prices of shoes. I really, really miss the 'low Kmart Price' on a brand of shoes, be them Sketchers, Nike or Reebok.

We used to have one, The Shoe Carnival, right by our Micheal's art store though, I just go splurge my money on art projects from time to time..

They will be up with them around nine at night.. :)


'yeah I hope they are a great fit et all...'
 
In the Pie launcher,
ya know I downloaded Icon Pack studio many moons ago, when applying throughout several launchers, I sometimes get "Hey scroll through the app settings to change your icon color and appearance."
So.... I scroll through the settings and nope.

Seriously am I losing my head, does anyone else come across this?

Well, don't get me started on shoes 🤣

I don't like shoes, i'll just wear what is comfortable and looks reasonable, and it's usually daps or boat shoes in the summer. Try getting me started on shirts and mink jackets. :thumbsupdroid:

For shoes, try the late Imelda Marcos. Or if one is in China, it's okay to wear knock-off Nike sneakers with a business suit.

Soooo..... I got an email from here about a few days ago, said "Who wants to read my project?" sooo I clicked on it, and no new notifications on the thread, huh... did I do something to upset someone when I was writing?
 
My cell just get over heated. No running background apps, but when I did play with it with a few apps of it a few hours ago, the surface of it got way too hot that I could not touch it.
 
Ya know how much I really want to DDT my Moto in the past few days? Well after yet another Hard reset, the streaming it picked up a second ago, and also the missing icon of the Accessibility got a nice resident with my three button surfing! WOWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO..... saved ten million dollars!!! :)
 
Hate it when helping my mother with her garden overlapping that time of when I want to write though, makes me a little bit like small fire touch. But it needed to be finished before we head..
 
Neighbor walking her dog in front of my house. They stop and the dog take a #2. The women is looking around 360 degrees numerous times to see if anyone is watching. The dog gets done and she starts running away with the dog.

I go out my front door and yell, "You have to pickup your dog Sh_t". She stops running and responds, "That's what I'm doing, " I said, BullSh-T, you're running away".

She did come back with a bag to pick it up.

A few weeks ago I ran into the same thing. I told the woman to pick up her dog sh_t, She responded, "I'll come back later and get it" She never came back..

Really? Isn't the US the largest market by far for knock-off apparel and footware sold and distributed by the likes of AliExpress, Wish, as well as TikTok influencers. That's what seems to be happening.

And also I believe the real Nikes as well as the counterfeits are all made in the same sweatshops in China, India, Pakistan, and Bagladesh. Especially with something called "third shift" or "ghost shift" manufacturing, Where an outsourced contractor to Nike, Adidas, New Balance, Converse, other big name company. They make more product than they were contracted for, and then sells the excess production out of the back door of the factory

I'm sure most people buying and wearing them don't really care about such details. I'm no sneaker head, but I've previously bought my Nikes myself at the local night markets, and they've been comfortable and do seem to last.

However when it comes to smart-phone knock-offs. like Samsung or Apple devices. Things can be very different between the real thing and the replicas. AFAIK "third shift" or "ghost shift" manufacturing is unheard of in the technology industry for various reasons, unlike for footwear and apparel.

Right now that feeling that I am being somewhat heartbroken due to miscommunication, again I have started up the tight loop with someone far offline, that I have not spoke since before I left for this vacation, and I have done all that I could do is maintainting this cottage though, still what if felt different, and I know it is the same, I think my side piece is drifting away hahahaa :)

But did discovered after streaming my advenge seven fold album, after about five minutes when it started up, it stuck again, but after listening to it for about a spell now, it streamed so beautifuly. What the %%%%% is up with that? Going out this afternoon with a "Unoffical Aunt" with my family though, I still feel like that, but tbh my ears are sharpen after pulling my hearing aids off, about every spell when they reach around oh 77% and I put them out of my ears, I get crystal clear hearing up until for about a few minutes...

There use to a place in San Francisco California you could get name brand official merchandise from Nike, coach, Addis, and others for up to 80% off simply because it didn't pass quality assurance. My wife picked up a Louis Vuitton bag that was originally $1,000 0r something for $300-$400 . Apparently the lettering was wrong. I think there was a similar place in Colorado

Well right now, though even though I did spend all day yesterday with my Aunt and she saids "Wow people get so distracted by cell phones, meanwhile I do not have one to constantly check my emails, one for work and the other one for play...Here I give you a magazine to look at" She is pretty low tech, almost wayy too low, know what is funnier when she gets a registery error, she might change her persona though, and download a right thing to get that all collective cleaning just right though..

It has been raining and cold lately though, I am nearly getting myself so exhausted though..
Meanwhile I am like "Well I got to reset my cell phone, clean out my comp religiously and make sure all my programs function right away."
And accidently spilled the beans on the worst possible solution though...
I should be locked away right? Right?? RIGHT?!?! :P
 
My brain always packing for today, never forseeking any danger, basically my wax guards of my phonax got so much inside, I can only hear my mother in like a cave noise with both of them just recently, I did not bother since the date was on the nose a bit ago, but I am wondering why I did not pack them, but we found a place down here so I can get some of them up..
