Iowa City Fly In Breakfast This Sunday, 8/28

Oh Lord Jim,
Don't give my wife any ideas ! She is a shoe nut, it would be the only
way to get her interested in my little airplane projects! But then I'd
for sure not have a dime for the airplanes, but another closet full of
shoes!

Talk about a speedy way to poverty.... Mary must not have a shoe "thing"
or
you'd be broke Jay!

I glad I met you at the RAP party last month Blanche.
Now I understand your sense of humor! :-))

One of my greatest blessings (and Mary's biggest curse, if you ask her) is
that she has wide feet (like, EEE), and thus cannot buy shoes "off the
rack."

I think this one physical attribute, so innocently unappreciated during our
dating years, has saved me more money than any other "investment" in my
adult life!Perhaps rather than paying attention to legs, breasts, and
waistlines, single guys should be looking for chicks with wide feet...

How does having to buy custom sized shoes save money as compared to off
the rack shoes? I have wide feet also, but not pontoons like it sounds
like Mary owns, and I have a hard time finding shoes that fit and when I
do I pay for the privilege.

You're thinking like a guy, Matt.

Women buy shoes on a whim. I used to date a chick that had HUNDREDS of
pairs of shoes, just like Imelda Marcos. It was insane.

Mary can't do that, ever. So, she pays big bucks for a couple of
well-thought-out pairs of shoes, and never buys any others. It's money in
the bank!

Hmmm, so, instead of the $100 hamburger run, she'd do the $200 shoe run
($100 for shoes, $100 for airplane time). Then again, depending on the
price of a) shoes and b) time in the Aztec, we could be talking about a
lot more money Jim. Yep, speedy way to poverty for you.

Now...as an alternative, you could look into fly-in Wal-Mart locations.
Shoes are cheap and you can load up on a lot more things. If you flew
from my home field, you'd be able to fly to Willows, CA where you could
first stop at Nancy's airport cafe. Great airport greasy spoon spot
(sorry Jay, I don't think they know what fruit is at Nancy's). After
eating, walk across the street to Wal-Mart and shop. Don't ask me how I
know this... :-)

US$100.- for women shoes? you haven't been shopping
for that particular item for a while, have you? :-)

Well, I certainly hope so. It would be rather embarrassing otherwise!

I see your point. My wife grew up on a farm so she's never had the shoe
fetish problem.
