AggieDave 6 #1 February 3, 2005 Last week I had posted talking about a pair of boots I was planning on saving to buy to wear at my wedding. Well some DZ.commers took it upon themselves to see to it that I get those boots and they wanted to give me something for my wedding. Frenchy68 Piisfish Darius11 Pleifer Jumper03 Skygeek Those folks chipped in and Frenchy sent me a check, so yesterday I was able to order the boots. Since my shoe size is "odd" (11 1/2 E/EE) and these are cutstom boots, it will take 4 weeks to be made over at Luchesse's shop in San Antonio. So in a few weeks I'll be posting some pictures. Never in my life has anyone outside of my immediate family done anything like this for me, to say I was speechless would definately be an understatement. I thought that in this world where people are perpetually screwing other people over (so it seems) that a classy act of kindness should definately be made publically known. Thank you!

VanillaSkyGirl 6 #3 February 3, 2005 Frenchy is a REALLY cool person...a good guy, but he will be upset that I wrote that. I don't know anything about the boot situation, but it sounds like these people helped you with their kind and generous acts. How wonderful! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites AggieDave 6 #4 February 3, 2005 The boot situation is that I had finally found exactly the boots to wear with my tux so I was excited about them and posted about them. Frenchy and the other took it upon themselves to chip in and buy them for me as a wedding gift. It was going to take me atleast until summer to save up for them, since they're handmade Luchesse boots (nearly $400). What blows me away is I didn't ask, I didn't imply or hint, I just posted talking about them b/c I was excited. They thought it would be cool for a wedding gift to get them for me. Just like that. --"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

You have been a solid decent guy on this site for ages. I hate to admit this, but you're easy to like. I have found quite a few dz.commers that are extremely generous in their words and friendship.Enjoy the boots and don't trip!
