<<I have many pairs I've never worn>>

So does Jenny. Every 6 months or so I take up a collection of unworn/unwanted/outgrown kids clothes and give them away to the deserving poor, of which there are plenty, this being Asia. So some good, somewhere, comes out of it. It must be done in utmost secrecy, though, as there is nothing that will set off a 2 1/2 year old faster than giving away something that's hers, even if she hasn't thought of it for months.

Given the difficulty of finding size 12 shoes in this country, I am extremely glad I'm not a Pisces.

The Libran profile has accuracies and inaccuracies, as one might expect. I'll buy the lazy streak and the bit about being ruled by Venus <g>, but the rest seems a bit much to live up to.

Did you ever look into Chinese astrology? The whole subject is one in which I take minimal interest, but a Chinese friend once insisted on having his astrologer do a runup on me, and I have to say he was pretty close.

Yahoo on Imelda; born July 2 1929: She owned 3,000 pairs of shoes, (eight and a half), one of which was a pair of plastic disco sandals with three inch high flashing battery operated heels. Had a collection of x-rated movies from Copenhagen and a record of the disco group, the Village People, along with Sinatra and Verdi. Owned a bullet proof bra. She had 500 size 38 brassieres and 200 size 42 girdles.

Shopping techniques:

If something struck her fancy--shoes--she'd buy two or three dozen of the same design and end up not wearing them anyway.
