All credit to you for buying those shoes. Sometimes if you want something badly enough (and it's really worth it) then you just gotta go for it! XXX As for the having alot of stories thing..yeah, well I do too. I'm always being reminded of them by things other people say and although I worry that I get boring or irritating I somehow can't stop myself from telling them. I think I'm going to be one of those aggravating old men who'll never shut up.

woah...we do have quite a bit in common. (same issues with dad etc.) except for the shoes part....I simply love purchasing things over my budget, but it sounds like we both get PPD from it (post purchase depression). As for therapy, yea, seeing a therapist now is as common as going to a coffee house in the 90's. All the cool kids are doing it...

i do this too, buying things i don't really need. i, of course (LOL), script it spiritually..it's weakness, but it is a need to fill something up, whatever it may be..those transient things like pride or human respect or vanity..etc and whatever. but most importantly, these things are bottomless. there is really nothing that will fill the need except for a shift in perception, a new program for the emotive part of the brain, a focus on the spiritual vs. the material..however you want to read it. therapy is excellent in helping people do this, which is why it is so common. go if it will help you..:-) but do not beat yourself up. there's never any progress in thinking you deserve some sort of pain. // as for your dad, i don't know, the analytical in me went into overdrive when i read that..LOL. we all have pet peeves and therefore basic expectations on how relationships with our loved ones are supposed to be and progress. it's in recognizing that these expectations will not be met where the pain or peeve comes into play..because we still want it..hee. i think i will have this particular hang up till the day i die..:D
