    Another How To

    Great post Coco. Looking at the picture they look like... well, they look like slippers. I once slit my foot open on a canister style vaccum cleaner. Long story. Anyway I limped into the bathroom, grabbed a maxi pad and headed for the emergency room. The nurse complimented me on my choice...
