At that price, if I bought them when I was 20 I would have expected them to see me out - in fact I would probably have insisted they go with me.

Thanks sam. I thought I did that bit quite well, too. I couldn't actually write that Ell said 'Sit down or else.'

Lovely ending, johnmacnab... I never mind your digressions as I can add plenty of my own...!
As a lifelong dainty-sandal-wearer, it has taken rather a lot for me to even contemplate buying "sensible" ones - i.e. comfortable - for the kind of walking I/we now do... however... Merrill brand have produced some not-too-ugly ones and they look very nice... you would faint at the price (approximately £140 US). They are going to have to see me out... smile...

Most of the time I love them, BC-A, but now and again they bring out the snarl in me.

Life is too short - period. As for the bad shoes, majroj, I don't ever give them much thought - which is why they fall to pieces I suppose.

Maybe your cheap sandal was sticking under the pedal?
UNless it's a contest between food and feet, life is too short for bad shoes.

Son is having a bit of trouble with his car's horn going off at odd times. Do you think it would help if I had him buy a pair of Dr. Scholls sandals?

It is mind boggling Pat. Just think of the things that DIDN'T happen because she forced me into buying a pair of sandals - perhaps Pluto would have tilted on its axis slightly.

You had a sensible dad, northsage. The space bar story I've heard before, but seriously I had not considered there was a connection between my sandal and the gas pedal. I'm never going to hear the end of this one.

It's mind boggling, how the universe works.
Good on Ell for seeing to your shoes. Your gas pedal was clearly trying to tell you something about them...

This reminds me of a story my dad told me.
In DAD's story, he was interviewing applicants for a secretarial position working as my dad's personal assistant. One buxom applicant was having difficulty with the typing portion of the test. She was just about to break down crying, because she somehow kept hitting the space bar as my father watched her taking the test, to learn how many words a minute, she could type. My dad described and pantomimed moving behind her, reaching around and in front of her, and making lifting movements with his hands, and then saying, "Try typing it NOW!" That was my dad!
