Nora, the solution to that is to find an Autozone, which for a chain auto parts store has generally excellent customer service, and go look helpless at one of the clerks there while describing the trouble. S/he will likely have a product to sell you to get the thing done, but will also quite likely use it for you. You could also try this at a hardware store, such as an Ace.
Actually not needing validation right now, but thank you.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Do Crocs make your feet sweat, what with being rubber and all that?

I don't wear crocs, Connie, but they have lots of holes in them to let your feet breathe.

Happy birthday, Sean! I hope the meds are treating you more gently today, and that you get to spend some time just enjoying the day.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Connie - mine don't. In fact they sweat way worse in things like Keds or Chucks. And, upon Google-ing, it's not rubber, but a foam resin. Neat!

cool, I've been wanting something uber-comfy to walk around in during the Utah summer that don't make my feet sweat and have more support than cheap slip-on sandals.

Cool seems to be the operative word.
In other news, I am totally put out with people. My boss - who started off so well - is now irritating me almost beyond bearing. She's disorganized and isn't very good at time management. She's dealing with some long-running family problems (pre-teen daughter whose father's being a ... poopy-head is probably the best explanation). I can't leave anything in her office for her, because it disappears. She doesn't always read - or pay attention - to e-mails. She'll find herself out of time and toss something at me that has to be done immediately, because she didn't get to it (the latest? cutting a 2,100+ word article down to 1,100 ... in less than one day).
I've ended up being responsible for things that are well above my pay grade, as they say. And for things I absolutely don't have the authority for, sometimes they end up as serious problems because she can't get to them.
Most days she comes in about an hour after I do and leaves well before I do. grrrr

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SEAN!
I am going to eye all of you Crocs-wearing people with suspicion. I'm sorry, it's a knee-jerk reaction, I'm trying to get over it.

I think you would end up loving the black Mary Janes if you found yourself in a very hot place that you were doing a lot of walking in. Like say, Disneyland in August.
