WizardOfOz30 1,886 Report post Posted May 3, 2011 blah, come on Wings, I need more red!!! I ended up having to get new cord when I put on the last bead, it wouldn't go through the bead, it was all soft and squishy or something....weird Too much tying and untying, I'm worried about mine but it's holding up pretty well. I have a heck of a time untying it to put a new bead on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mmamolo 287 Report post Posted May 3, 2011 Not to get off topic, but that's really gross. Sorry to your significant other. It had to be said. The beads are cool. Lets hope those with the necklaces you have them all the way around by the end of the finals. You get all in a huff about some one saying something a little gross and you have the nerve to post under the handle plopster? Now, that's unsettling! I feel bad for your significant toilet 1 wingnut22 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wngzfn 1 Report post Posted May 4, 2011 Hi all. I am not much on posting but I am a fantastic lurker. This is usually the first place I come after a hard day at the office. There is nothing better than reading new posts on the Boys. I love the bracelet idea so I borrowed it. I used a red crystal for every goal scored. I separate the scores with a white/clear crystal when they win and a black crystal for win they lose...DEMMIT!!!! Each series will have a slightly different design to keep them all straight. This has been so much fun. Especially since I live in Chicagoland and am the lone Red Wing fan pretty much everywhere I go. I have really enjoyed letting my friends know I am adding a new bracelet while the Hawks are adding another bag tag to their golf clubs! Thanks for all the fun. 1 CanadaBoy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

55fan 5,133 Report post Posted May 7, 2011 Silly Blackhawks fans. Brooms are for Red Wings. I got to show my bracelets to my manager at my weekend job this morning. He's from Detroit, but he's been on vacation so he hasn't seen them. He thought they were cool. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jenny 315 Report post Posted May 7, 2011 I've got my bead necklace going, but I left it off yesterday. Being a superstitious hockey fan, I do believe I'll be leaving it off tomorrow as well. 1 wingnut40 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
55fan 5,133 Report post Posted May 7, 2011 Am I the only one still kickin it old school?? I think the Hobbit Twins are going old school. Beyond that, I think a lot of people have moved to necklaces. Very cool that you're keeping it real. Hopefully we get to add more RED! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wingnut40 176 Report post Posted May 8, 2011 My camera sucks so I can't take pics of my bracelets. I got the 1st round as braided embroidery thread with white beads for how many goals we scored and the game winning bead is slightly larger than the others. All 4 are tied to a charm that says "Focus". The 2nd round is the same expect no large beads until last night. Those are all tied to a charm that says "Integrity". The red one from last night also has a "Strength" charm hanging from it. They look really ugly right now but hopefully after this round I can clean them up as opposed to throw them away.

And I thought you were still going old school. Sounds cool. You might have to find someone with a camera. Sorry I couldn't remember you and Danny's names. I'm gapping so much more in my old age. I figured if I made a LOTR reference, you'd come running. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Michgal89 0 Report post Posted May 8, 2011 I'm still doing the threads on the wrist, too. Mine don't like to lie neatly however! I tied them on the left last year, started them on the right wrist this time. I've won some respect from the guys downstairs for making my own "beard" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's the underside of them, obviously. Like said this round is really ugly. The game 1 bracelet is broken, game 3 is messed up, and game 4 is loosely tied. And yes, I saw the LOTR reference but I didn't know who you were referring to!! If we were hobbits Danny would be Pippin and I'd probably be Sam.
