You need to wake up and look around you. I think a lot of these women proudly make and spend their own money, me included. I did not earn a college degree to sit on my ass and have a man make the money and tell me what to do with it. I work for MY money, as I'm sure most of these other women do.

I almost don't even want to continue to reply to you, as you have no facts. You are ignorant, rude, and very ill-informed. As for your arguments, you have none. And whenever you try to clear your name, you make no sense. What in the hell are you talking about with numbers in a username? What are you even getting at? I have a 1 in my username because I have ONE L in my name. As for other women, I'm sure they have their reasoning. I'm guessing with you 86 is your birth year, although from your postings I would've guessed about 10 years later.

And I think I speak for everyone when I say that we don't give a s*** how many shoes you have.

now i see just number 1 in your username, when quoting u the page had 5million something. I never told u how many shoes i have. You don't want to be a stay at home wife and have a nice meal for your hubby when he comes home to a nice clean house with the children finishing their homework? or sitting ready on the big couch with a bowl of soapy water oil and toe-nail clippers and a bowl of potato chips and the tv turned on larry king live?

Ok well I'm done. I now see this is a complete waste of my time. Such a shame because this posting was actually pretty fun in the beginning. It's sad that some people have to ruin it for everyone with ignorance and a poor attitude.

hey I'm sorry. I'm sure u have some pretty cool shoes. you shouldn't take things so seriously, especially if u think I'm an ass.

You know I recently read an article that during the Neolithic times, 70% calories from the caveman family's diet was from the women's planting/ gathering of seeds and food, only 30% from the caveman's hunting.

I was hoping to expand on this silly post to see how many of you actually
know what you have in your home ,starting with shoes and then i was going to go on to cloths and furniture, I see now it was a bad idea

The reason for this was just in case any of you ever had a major disaster such as a fire
it will be up to you to recreate your whole house on paper for insurance purposes

I would suggest to each of you to take a few pictures in every room (with closets and drawers open)
and keep those pictures in a strongbox , hopefully you will never need them
but if you did they will help you remember every little thing you had.

Here is an easy one for you
write down a number of how many pairs of socks you have
Now check your sock drawer and i can bet at least 3/4 of you will have at least double what you thought.
Socks are one of the cheaper items but if you are that off on socks
how about the number of dress pants,sweaters,blouses,jeans etc etc


Again i am sorry this post caused a few problems but if one person learned anything
it was worth it

My girlfriend who recenlty passed away from cancer had over 500 pairs of shoes and boots. Just talking flip flops, since I moved to Florida...I must have 50 pair of those. All kinds and colors! I have about 200 pairs of shoes and boots. Most were never worn. I have a pretty big collection of handbags too....same thing...new in boxes or dust bags since I bought them...will probably never use most of them. I think I have about 70 to 80. Women do not buy things because they need it, they just have to have it! Wierd! I use to spoil myself alot for working hard. Stopped that years ago to spoil my doggies.

Don't take it the wrong way but for someone to know the exact count of their shoes when it's over 50 or 100 to me it seems a bit wierd.(ducking for cover as shoes are being thrown at me)

Oh no...it's true, I am weird!
The only reason why I know exactly how many pairs I have is because I have mild OCD (not kidding)

No need to apologize, thank you for the info. Actually I think that is really good advice and it probably is good to be aware of things we think are so unimportant. You taught me something!!

Self Employed female HVAC and Environmental Contractor here! I made my own way and I didn't need no stinkin' man to help me thru life! If anything, I carried a man for the past 11 yrs... my business partner! He would have never made it this far without me!!! He lives in a 1 bdrm. apt. - I own a 1/2 million dollar plus home! He spends his money on smart woman who know how to take advantage of guys, hence the reason I have and he does not! . Never, ever, under-estimate a woman! We rule this world..you just aren't smart enough to have figured it out yet
