    Last week I rambled on about hydrogen peroxide and all the problems it could solve.
    Well, this week I’m on the same path, only today I want to share a cure for things such as tension, the blues, feeling lonesome, the desire for something new in your life, a need to exercise more but you don’t like gyms, the doldrums and possibly one or two other problems I can’t think of right now.
    If any or all of these ailments are plaguing you, you need look no further for a solution than a new pair of shoes.
    I can hear you groaning; “Oh, criminy, she’s not going to use that old saw about a woman curing her blues by buying new shoes or a new hat, is she?”
    No, I’m not, but this particular cure does involve a pair of shoes that you may not have in your closet now. You may have had them at one point in your life, but not now.
    I’m talking about a pair of tap shoes, and don’t moan, and quit reading because I’m serious and hope you’ll at least hear me out. And what I’m about to tell you is for men as well as women.
