I am not boasting here, well maybe a little, and I dont know why, but this morning when I was tying my shoes I realized I had been doing it the correct way all along, which may explain why I have never had an issue with my shoe strings, except they tend to wear out before the boots do.

Congratulations, ssmith - you are a stud. :)

I tied my shoes the correct way the last two days. It is better. They do not come untied. It is arkward after doing it another way for 50 years.

 I guess I can thank "Ms Carolyn".  When I was in kindergarten we only went 3 days.  She kept me the other two.  She taught me how to tie my shoes.

I'm just waiting for someone to break out the "I walked to school 10 miles back and forth with NO SHOES, rain, sleet, snow or hail" speech.  :P
