One can easily see how the claim that so many folks from the same area had all received phone calls from "heaven" from their loved ones. I also bought a hook kit so my rope could be hooked around my racks in my garage with all the supplies on them and not get any damage.

I recently had to return a pair of these to the official store and the girl who works there said it?s because the ones with the band are thinner. The horn of the unicorn gets flattened in shipping so it needs to benefit from a shoe form for a bit--- or just stuff some stiff paper in the toe and pull on the horn.
