This talk about people slitting their shoes brought back a memory to me. My Dad had crippling arthritis. His hands were both permanently curled into fists and his toes were twisted and curled too. He always went to a health shoe store to buy his shoes. After he got his new shoes home he'd go to work cutting slits in them. This always amused me for two reasons....ONE... he could ill afford the prices that store charged.....and "B"... why didn't he go "somewheres else" where the shoes were cheaper if he was just going to cut them up anyway???? He always did it and then took the answer to the puzzle to his grave with him...."Bless His Heart" I know he cut the shoes so they wouldn't rub his feet wrong but the part about buying expensive shoes to cut up was and is still a mystery to me. I'm going to leave the whys and wherefores of a few things I do, unanswered too and take the answer to my grave, just so my grown kids will have a few mysteries to solve about me too. I do think I leave them puzzled on a fairly regular basis. If I told them I was thinking of signing up for a trip into outer space, they'd most likely say "you're already there!"
