Also it's generally a good idea to not use a thread stronger th...

Place boots in a suitable place where overflow won't be a problem. Collect urine - enough to soak inside of boots. Fill boots with urine and allow to soak into leather. When boots suitably urinified, empty excess. Two options now. Lesser option - stuff newspaper into boots tightly, causing them to ...

Have you considered a raffle for those Who couldn't ordinarily afford $350-$400 for a book? I suspect that there would many more that could afford to contribute 10-20 towards helping the community, in smaller amounts

When I was in Spain in ther early '70's the common method of lighting a cigarette was with a little flint and steel set up much like a bic lighter except it used a piece of machero cord in a small metal tube to catch the sparks in it's charred tip.
