Fin sock advice request.

doggums · 02-03-2005

The Mrs. and I (man would she be pissed if she knew I was referring to her as "the Mrs.") just got new snorkeling fins and having ordered them online they are just a bit bigger than we anticipated, leaving just enough room for water/aqua socks inside the fins. With our previous fins, which fit like a glove but have gotten way beat up over the years, didn't require any socks to avoid blisters. Long story, slightly longer - anybody who uses socks inside their fins have any advice on a brand or merchant from which to acquire said merchandise (man, I got a little Shakespearean there, sorry). To make this thread fit in the Playa section I will state that we plan on using these fins in Playa. Happy birthday Tstar.

You are wellcome, my Son.

I love it, when I'm with gringo friends that I had just met, I love to tease them with this.
In Mexico, Jesus is so common that nobody cares. Some people would say "Jesus" or "Jesus te ayude/ Jesus helps you" when somebody sneezes, and I always answer that call. He, he.

I don't know why the name is not that common in catholic, protestant, christian communities, it should be as popular as Mary and Joseph.

I've often wondered about that myself, raised catholic, you would think half the kids in town would have been named Jesus. Nary a one though.

I asked this question last year. My fins rub blisters to my tootsies. I looked at the socks but they were so ugly and came up past the ankles. Booties would have worked fine but I couldn't find any. So... I decided to fix the problem myself. I took some foam cosmetic sponges, cut them into shape, and glued them to the offending spots on my fins. I also took extra foam and glue to Akumal with me just in case they fell off. No problems falling off and they worked like a charm.

Check at REI in Bloomington. I have seen some nice neoprene socks there. A lot of the socks have a seam up the heal, the ones I saw at REI did not.

LOL the Jesus name debate reminds me of something. So I am going off topic here just a warning! hehe.. I was raised in a very strict church home environment. Went to church just about everytime there was a service or event. I grew up being told that if you say Jesus that is saying the lord's name in vain. And I went to a elementary school that had very few hispanic kids or african american kids. SO when I went to middle school I was in shock when on my first day kids were introducing themselves in class because the teacher wanted to make us feel more comfortable. This kid gets up and says Hi my name is Jesus. I am thinking oh my gosh hes gonna go "down there" for saying that. I didn't believe that his name was really Jesus. LOL just how naive I was huh?? and still am in some degrees...

blondebritbrat · 02-04-2005

BTW i just wanted to add If I offended anyone by that post I apologize, I just found it again and re-read it and I felt it kind of sounds small minded. I was just sharing my experience since an above poster said he feels like he is in church when he says thank you jesus. Again I don't wish to offend anyone!

blondebritbrat · 02-04-2005

can somebody tell me how to either edit my original post or take it down?? I have tried looking and am embarassed that I actually posted that. I feel like a stupid tacky newbie.

doggums · 02-04-2005

If you look at the post in question while logged into the forum you should see an edit button in the lower right section of your post, click the edit and change as you see fit - don't see anything wrong with it myself, but I don't see anything wrong with the following joke either.

Guy walks into a psychiatrist's office completely naked but wrapped in saran wrap. He says to the psychiatrist "Doc you gotta help me, I think I'm losing it, what's wrong with me?" The psychiatrists looks him up and down and says "Well sir, I can clearly see your nuts."

blondebritbrat · 02-04-2005

oh ok I guess I just needed some assurance and guidance on what is ok since I am still new to this board. But thank you for telling me how to do it so that I can in the future. LOL I love that joke! that is funny!
