First of all, I want to thank all the folks who gave me advice on the 
changing address issue.  I received a verification of the address 
change this am (although I am still able to sneak into the group via 
the old one!)

Chinese Zodiac--I am a Rooster as well as a Virgo, so dependable, 
earth mother perfectionist.  I'm not too sure if this is me 
completely, but some aspects fit...

An old topic--Shoe shopping.  A descent into the 3rd level of Hell 
for me, thank you very much.  I have two very different sized feet so 
I have to buy two pair to make one pair, they're wide, and I need a 
lift put on the sole of the left shoe.  Lifts (or as I always call 
it, a build-up) can only be put on shoes with rubber or leather 
soles.  In this day and age of EVA and polyurethane soles, this is 
next to impossible.  Right now, I am limited to Keds and certain 
models of trainers. Not very practical in the work world, although I 
can get by with the Keds... I tried on Thursday and felt like 
settling in on the couch with a couple of pints...from Ben & Jerry's 
that is...

Sigh...I hate shoes...
