After the original thread (and recommendation), I decided to go ahead and get some of these too. I recently bought a wallet on a string that is big enough for folding $, a few credit/business cards and my keys, so I can ditch my big bag. (Yesterday I toted everything around for too long, and realized at the end of the day when my back was hurting that I should have left it in the car.) I love having this back-up pair when there's a need, since ditching that big bag is now a priority! Thanks for coming back to let us know what you think of them...that's my feeling as well. I'm glad I didn't wait, since now I feel prepared. (I won't talk about how hard dh laughed at me when he saw these, since it really doesn't matter. I'll have the last laugh when he doesn't have his glasses on him!)

My house is somewhere between 1,200 sq. ft. and 1,400 sq. ft. Its roof has only a small front porch (over the front door) and a small back porch as complications. Last November, I received a letter from my insurance carrier informing me that the insurance on my house would not be renewed unless I provided proof that the shingles on the roof had been replaced, and pointing out that it might be a good idea to get the chimney repointed. Neighbors gave me estimates between $4,000 and $10,000 for getting the roof replaced. After a single shingle fell off, I called a local roofer. The owner of the company came to my house on a Saturday morning. I asked him what it would cost to replace the roof without compromise. Two layers of shingles needed to be removed, a ridge vent needed to be installed, and the chimney needed to be repointed. The owner of the company told me that replacing my roof with GAF Timberline Presqtique shingles with the limited lifetime warranty, installing the ridge vent, installing GAF Leak Guard, installing an 8" drip edge, and repointing the chimney would cost $4,900. I could hardly contain myself, and asked the owner of the roofing firm why some estimates were so much higher. To my amazement, the owner told me that he is selling a service, and some roofers are selling a product. If he interviews 10 perspective customers, he sells 3 or 4 roofs. If people selling a product interview 10 perspective customers, they sell 1 or 2 roofs. Guess who gets to pay for all of the failed sales attempts. For months, I cringled in shame whenever I saw my roof. Now, I have gone from having the worst one on the street to having the best one on the street, done by a roofer with a GAF Certified Master Elite certification.

It is unethical and crass that he was using the Whitehouse account to tweet about his daughter's business. Also that he was doing so during an intelligence briefing shows that his focus is not on the nation's business but his family's business. By the way, he still has not divested himself of his business and that should be setting off alarm bells because of conflict of interest. Even if you support him, you should be able to see that this is a violation of the office of the presidency.

I know nothing about this brand - Lodis - but went to eBay and searched for zip around wallets that ship to Canada. Lodis Fruitilicious Ada Zip Wallet - Twilight Women's Wallet NEW $74.99 and $15.57 shipping to CA. ETA - This Dooney one is cute and ships to CA for less than $12, but doesn't open flat. I'd be hungry every time I opened it though... Authentic Dooney & Bourke Candy Zip Around Wallet
