Things that make you go Hmmm

Ken and I were talking about things that people report to the police as missing or stolen. Its kind of funny because it really is not wholey based on a monetary value.

If I have a $500 cell phone and it goes missing I call the cellphone company and report it lost and curse myself for not paying for the replacement plan.

If I have a $500 car that goes missing I call the police and report it as stolen.

Same value different responces.

Again if I drop a $75 dollar watch that goes missing I mutter and curse and go buy a new one.

If a $75 toaster goes missing from my kitchen I call the police because I was robbed.

Ok maybe we are nerds but it was interesting to think about.


Another interesting thing is how good my feet feel in these shoes. I have had so many doctors and not one went "well how are your shoes?" Do they want us better? or do they want us returning?

And when it comes down to that What about the shoe lady that helped me. She watche me walk she stood me on this little metal device that messured me foot in all directions and then she picked shoes she showed me how they should fit. Hell she tied my laces! then she walked me walk in them.

We used to get service like this but that has gone by the way side. Now we walk into payless or walmart and look at millions of shoes and pick one out and buy it. What did we lose when we lost this type of service? I know what I lost. I lost about 5 years of my life walking around in so much pain I sometimes wished I had a wheel chair. Its sad, what we lost in exchange for convience.
