T-bob,
My wife and I also went through the 13 week Financial Peace program. I learned real quick it would only work if you stuck to it. I did not. I wish I did, but I don't have the self control it takes. My poor wife just puts up with me.
Here are the boots I was speaking of. The size is very hard to make out, but I believe the read 11 1/2. You won't hurt my feelings if the don't suit you. If you want them, PM your address.
