My Shiny New Bangle Bracelets

I got some new silver bracelets on thrift. They are solid and sturdy and can get really tight. I love them and feel so fancy, but can't really take them off. And people are looking at me funny when I go walking by swinging them on my arm. I'll bet they are just jealous.

Like my bracelets?

Funny story about these handcuffs. They were my father in laws. My sister in law also got a pair when he passed away. We'll my nephew found her pair and went up to his dad (my brother in law) one day and snapped them on him, playing policeman. I don't know what happened, if they didn't have the key or if it didn't work, but they ended up having to call for help and the fire department sent a truck and fire fighters who had to come in and cut the suckers off. Maybe we have the last pair of Sal's cuffs.

I have the key and happily these came off after the shoot...but I was a little worried, I confess.
Fun!

@cejaanderson Yes, for 25 years at OPD and then he worked for several years as the deputy chief of security (or something like that) at Nashville's airport, He was in charge of all of the emergency departments at the airport...second in charge I guess.

Handcuffs are the perfect accessory for someone who likes to run around with a hacksaw. You and your creative ideas — they ROCK!
May 31st, 2015  
A key would be preferable to a lock with a code! I thought you might also have a whip hidden around here too?
June 1st, 2015  
Yup, this says, "don't mess with me." and what a story!
June 1st, 2015  
@maggiemae Oh my...no whip. The saw worked nicely, but now my arm is tired.
June 1st, 2015  
This totally kicks....Love it! What fun!

You're a nut hahaha

Super cool and edgy! I like it! Your hair is growing out too! ;-)
June 1st, 2015  
@eyeamlisa Ha...I just checked and I can do a ponytail again...a very short one, but one none the less. It's practically long. Ugh, but the grow out is awkward.
June 1st, 2015  
Nicely told story. Such fun!
