Shop Till You Drop! Yeah. I know you're not supposed to shop online using company resources. But, if you're going to do it, you may as well save some money.

I need a roach clip (well, not exactly)

I need one of those things that looks like a roach clip -- you use them to put your bracelet on by yourself.

Does anyone know what I'm talking about or what they are called?

Re: I need a roach clip (well, not exactly)

You guys remember the roach clip hair accessories from the 80s? Roach clip with cheesy leather shoelace material, which held a few pony beads and feathers?

I used to wear them all the time.

Margaret, who has honestly never used a roach clip for the intended purpose. At least, not that she remembers.

The clip is known as an alligator clip.

Margaret - the intended purpose of an alligator clip is electrical.

The "roach clip" aspect is a "bonus feature."

Re: I need a roach clip (well, not exactly)

Yep, Margaret, I remember them vividly! I had one, and I think my MOM had one, IIRC! Then she found out what the clip part was associated with, and had a bit of struggle with her conscience about whether or not I could wear mine any more. She finally decided I could - everyone knew that *most* of them were just decorative, not really used as marijuana clips.

No, Mom! I don't use that to smoke pot! I use that to rewire the house!!!

Margaret, who is remembering the episode of the Facts of Life where Nathalie bought a "jellybean holder" bong.

Yeah. Like me and every other girl who smoked cigarettes in high school had lighters in our purses to soften our eyeliner pencils.

Re: I need a roach clip (well, not exactly)

Oh, I had them to light candles. Hey, if there was ever an emergency, I was prepared!

Margaret, who doesn't smoke any more, but, still has a stash of about 15 lighters in her glove compartment (why did I never seem to have any when I smoked?)

Re: I need a roach clip (well, not exactly)

I found another one, not as pretty but just functional here:

http://www.claspmaster.com/

I have also seen ones that have a flat base and a curved top (I can't really describe it, and I can't find a picture) but they require a flat surface and would take up more room.
