I knew I had the perfect pair of high heels to go with the dress I plan to wear to my high school class reunion. Since I had not worn that pair of heels in years, I thought I should check their condition in case they needed to be dusted off or cleaned.When I inspected them, I noticed that the plastic tip on one high heel was gone exposing the metal dowel that held the tip in place.
I have no recollection of how I lost the tip, but I knew that I had to get it fixed before I could wear the shoe. There is a shoe repair shop about 10 minutes from my home, but I thought I might be able to repair it myself, so I looked online and found iFixit's guide for high heel tip repair.
After reading the guide, the fix seemed easy enough, so I moseyed on over to Amazon to find what I needed for the repair. I ordered a kit for $11.78 that included 30 pairs of replacement tips in five different sizes and a pair of pliers for removing the tip.
The kit arrived yesterday and it took me about 10 minutes to replace the tip. And I now have a lifetime supply of high heel tips!
Which Blog?
In addition to Femulate, I also have a low-traffic blog where I write about my radio adventures.
It is "low-traffic" because I publish a post once or twice a week and it gets about 450 hits per day (as compared to this blog where I post 5 or 6 times per week and average 5,000 hits per day).
And so every year while I am staffing our booth at Hamvention, at least one stranger will approach me and say, "I read your blog."
I always ask, "Which one?" even though I am pretty sure they are referring to Femulate and not my low-traffic radio blog.
When their response is "Huh?"or something similar, I know that they are not a civilian, but rather are one of us.
