Right.
There *are* differences between the sexes for heaven's sake. I'm not going
to feel bad for having indoor plumbing, nor curse someone else for having
outdoor plumbing

LOL!!
I have to say -- I did not have Loren pegged as the shoe guy 
I don't like pumps. I don't like most women's footwear -- it's painful and
constricting. I don't like heels because I'm already tall and heels just
give me a nosebleed  Sneakers, sandals, bare feet... ahhhh....

:)
friend of mine had an entire closet of shoes... she had one pair in 7
colors, and hadn't worn any of them!
any time she bought a new "outfit" (don't get me started on that)
she had to
also buy a new pair of shoes... as though any of the 9 gazillion pairs she
had wouldn't do. Though of course here we're approaching a mental problem,
not really a "female" issue :)
