(Click on it.) ;) I've got ADHD, too, and the habit of thinking ahead sunk in eventually. Since there's no control in this experiment, though, I'll concede that I may be the odd one out.J.J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15609946838520941153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2703718837080088488.post-42898317194760630122010-11-01T12:59:00.525-05:002010-11-01T12:59:00.525-05:00i've used this one and am currently wearing a ...i've used this one and am currently wearing a replacement band: http://www.voguestrap.com/ironman.html<br /><br />slight irritation, but not bad. make sure you use their printable measuring tool though!Perrencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04531239316753921499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2703718837080088488.post-5668976959085130632010-10-31T12:16:02.072-05:002010-10-31T12:16:02.072-05:00or get some doublesided velcro. comes in green or ...or get some doublesided velcro. comes in green or black. cut a chunk long enough to go around one pin and catch on itself, then around your wrist, then around the other pin and catch on itself on the second side. it is likely a width that will work. or trade some local seamstress to make you one. it's not hard. keep your money or you labor local.emmernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2703718837080088488.post-71843490308895385882010-10-29T18:55:03.574-05:002010-10-29T18:55:03.574-05:00Andrea G. said...

My Timex has to be well over 20 years old, has made several trips through the washing machine (!!) and has made its way through half a dozen or more watchbands. However, here in the backward country of Canada (Atlantic Coast), things don't change much so I have never had a problem getting a new watchband. Of course, now that I've said that . . .Oliviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12535709771684332389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2703718837080088488.post-63811701370747128262010-10-28T20:27:24.832-05:002010-10-28T20:27:24.832-05:00These work great (if you don't mind the velcro...These work great (if you don't mind the velcro).

When the band on my first one broke, I just carried it around in my pocket. Now I suppose if I couldn't replace the band I'd probably make a little cloth or leather "frame" for it and turn it into a fob watch and hang it from a belt loop...<br /><br />Heather GAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2703718837080088488.post-46377134797215383552010-10-28T17:10:28.180-05:002010-10-28T17:10:28.180-05:00Give your family members a chore that they hate, a...Give your family members a chore that they hate, and know needs to be done, but can be avoided for twice as long if they think ahead a bit.

So making sure that I don't need to go to them is a part of my standard routine.J.J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15609946838520941153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2703718837080088488.post-86650603999449635242010-10-28T16:33:39.266-05:002010-10-28T16:33:39.266-05:00holy wombats, Andrea!

There is always the problem of finding the spare a few years later, but I can usually locate it in the office supplies drawer.J.J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15609946838520941153noreply@blogger.com
