Thank you, A. Your post is very useful to me. I hope I can learn from you.
You have tremendous personality. You deal with this problem the right way. My gut feeling is that it is better to play with it rather than stop.
Now I remember close relatives wearing magnetic bracelets. They were difficult to get in Soviet Russia. One could only buy one through connections. People who traveled abroad would make money this way.
For example, people who traveled abroad would invest their earned money in some goods in order for the government not to take all their money. They would bring bracelets and sell it.
They were very expensive for people like myself. I am sure people read about it. In case of bracelets they were mostly from Japan.
I am going to have an appointment with GP as Morticia suggested.
Morticia has such good suggestions for many members of these board.
Thank you, Morticia.

My washing machine doesn't go beep beep.
I have never had any reason to feel grumpy or houghy about this before but I learn from the Ecstatic Experiences thread that other people's do. I now feel left out.
Come to think of it I don't have a shoe rack either. Life is very unfair.

What of the sphinx-like hiatus when it has completed its cycle and deliberates whether to open and shower the celebrant?

GG, my shoe rack is just a short rickety bookshelf purchased from a garage sale for $3.
OF clearly is dissatisfied with it, but nobody claimed it was a luxury item.

George....shoe racks are not necessary, any old box under the bed will do. I have mine in an old chest of drawers drawer under mine.
(And another old drawer under the spare bed too! I have lots of shoes, but find I can only wear one pair at once, such a pity).

I've never had more than one pair of shoes at a time. They wear out, I buy another pair. Simple!   <trying really hard not to sound like Lord B> |

Hmmm. Better not count mine. I never have counted them so perhaps I'll stay with that.  |

Of my current pair of shoes the right has developed quite a fruity squeak in the heel. Every step I walk, squeak squeak squeak. And only after two months  |

Good luck with the new job BBM !!!!
I went to a "Shoe-Party" at a friend's house last year....and we had a competition to see who had the most shoes.
I had 12 pairs of sandals and 15 pairs of shoes and 3 pairs of boots.(oooops!) I didn't come out with the most though. (Phew!)
Every time we go shopping I ask Janthefan'sman to stop her from purchasing any more!!!!!
If I live to be 100 (which I have every intention of doing) I'll have enough shoes to last me until then ! just hope my size 7 s dont shrink and shrivel up so the shoes dont fit any more!!!
