Where Should I Put My Shoes?


Unlike many of you, home owners, who have closets larger than a wiffle ball bat, I have no place for my 10 pair of shoes (including sandals/Chacos®.) I've been forced to get creative during my stay in my last few apartments. Here are a couple of methods I've tried:


  1. Under the bed in rows.
  2. Build my own two-tier shelf for the floor of my closet.
  3. Wear flip-flops every, single, day.
  4. Organizer that hangs from the door.


Here is one option that I have not yet tried. It requires a bed skirts. Click Here.

"Hidden shoes away organizer neatly stores and protects your favorite shoes under the bed. Discover hidden storage potential without taking up valuable space under the bed. Tuck between mattress and boxspring – organizer stays out of sight under dust ruffle or bedspread. Features 16 roomy pockets for shoes, scarves, books, belts, toys and more. Adjustable to fit twin to king size bed."

Next time I get a spare $20, I might just invest.

    That is a pretty good idea. I did the under the bed method while at the FLSR, it worked pretty well. Now they're in a piled heap in the closet again...I hate it.

    I recommend the wooden tiered place in the closet..under the bed has never worked for me. I will tell you that I have tried wearing flip flops every day and your feet will mutiny and your back will also take the hit. Your feet both deserve and need good support! It will make all the difference.

Rummi-"CUB" vs. Rummi-"CUBE"

The "Rummikub" Pronunciation Debate Affirmative Constructive: "Cub" For years, I have been a firm advocate and defender of the pronunciation, Rummi-"CUB".  The game box I grew up with spelled it, Rummicub  on the box. However, other productions of the game have variant spellings: Rummykub , Rummy Kube , Rummy Tiles , etc.  Based solely on box spelling, the game's true pronunciation is open to interpretation. Therefore, Rummi"cub" is equally acceptable to any other given pronunciation. Negative  Constructive : "Cube" My opponents argue that since the game originated over seas, we ought to respect and maintain its original pronunciation. Affirmative Rebuttal: Americanization of the Term When the game was brought to America and given Americanized rules, its name was also Americanized. Pronunciation loyalists then counter my rebuttal with, "there are lots of adopted foreign words that have retained their original pron...

Who's Got The Funk?

I am an amateur guitarist, and I've got no funk. My musical skills seem to lacking that special something . Great musicians have it . Those fortunate enough to have gotten hold of  it , create timeless hits. While musicians without it  fade into oblivion. After spending hours searching through Blues history websites and 1970's band documentaries online, I discovered what that special something  is thank to a (70% Man, 30% fish) character from the BBC show "The Mighty Boosh" named Old Gregg. He identified that  thing  as  The Funk ! But what exactly is The Funk ? Here is some dialogue from the show to help explain its origin and purpose: Old Gregg: You're a musician, yeah? Howard: Yes I am. Old Gregg: Butchya ain't very good, are ya? Howard: I'm one of the best in town. Old Gregg: Come on, I read your reviews. Hmm? You know what your problem is? Howard: What? Old Gregg: Ya ain't got the funk. You're all rigid. Hmm? You're l...

The Hit Single *Bang!* by AJR is about Suicide

Introduction I listened to the lyrics to the AJR song,  BANG!  for the first time today and immediately noticed its connection to suicide. Curious why this wasn't obvious to more people, I googled it and discovered that I may be  one of the few people who think this way. I'm not crazy, right? Pexels.com Song Analysis Listen to the chorus: "Everybody come hang (come hang). Let's go out with a bang. Bang! Bang! Bang!" These repeated words brought to my mind a couple of terrifying statistics:  Suicide is the SECOND leading cause of death for college-age youth and youth ages 12-18 ( CDC WISQARS ) The two leading methods of suicide (in high-income countries) are hanging and firearms ( The Parent Resource Program ). As I continued to examine the song lyrics, I realized EVERYTHING about the song supported my interpretation. This radio hit doesn't necessarily glorify suicide. It's more of a social commentary on the frustrating plight of American youngsters. It ...
