I found something today, in my home, that I had forgotten about.

...Even though I had looked at them a couple of hundred times. They just sat there. Waiting to be used. For some reason, I kinda forgot they might be useful. They are almost brand new. And I need them. There are two of them, and when I realized about an hour ago, that the two of them might be useful, I picked them up, from where they were sitting on the floor, and looked carefully to see if I could use them.
.... So, I fixed them up a little bit, and then I tried them on. One is a little tight, but they are ok. I paid about $140.00 for the pair, so I am going to use them today....,and I am using them as I type these words...What are they?

.... They are an almost brand new pair of shoes...Yep, put them on, and they fit ok. No, I do not know why I let them sit there for months, or a couple of years..???

.. Now, if any out there know where I can get a new brain, or a very good used brain. I would like to hear about it. It has to be an older model, because I am an older model. If you know of any installers of new brains..let me know through an email., .

.... Thank You for reading this. Yes, this is true, I couldn't make this up in a thousand years.. The shoes are on my feet right now....

are not alone. This is a tad extreme since they were sitting where you could see them all this time but the rest of it....sad to say happens. Enjoy your new shoes and be glad you have not reached the time when they will be new shoes you have never worn every day!

By that I mean, maybe you planned to wear them a wedding or a party, or some other event. We all do that sometimes. Then maybe something happened and you didn't go to the party, and so you forgot about the shoes. I can relate to that. But I CANNOT relate to paying $140 for a pair of shoes!
