Maybe you thought this part of your shoelaces didn’t have a name. However, it’s called an aglet, and it’s meant to allow laces to fit easily into the holes in your shoes without splitting.
I don't wear shoes with laces, - all my shoes have Velcro strips which enables me to slip them on and off without having to bend, a task I can no longer accomplish.
i know there is very powerful magic in knowing that you don't know what you don't. (also monster is a code word for prejudice, strange or alien are less loaded and more honest) emotionally laden phrasing is seldom trustworthy.
i know that mr ed was a very stable genius: "a horse is horse of course of course that is of course unless the horse if the famous mr ed"
