Is it normal for a straight guy to have a shoe fetish?
I have a thing for all kinds of shoes, but especially women shoes. I secretly collect shoes and keep a pair of women's pumps, designer high heels, Uggs, and tall leather boots to wear for fun. I don't know why but I get really turned on especially when I see a pair of heels at the store. To me, women's shoes are cuter and cooler than guy's shoes. This is probably the softest thing about me but would you say this is a healthy thing to have? Would a girl date someone with this fetish?

Our pick of the answers:
A fetish of any kind is not, strictly speaking, "normal." It's a harmless aberration. No, I would not date a guy who was more interested in what was on my feet than what was in my brain. I'm funny that way.

Susan asks…
What was the life like for a house slave in Alabama in 1863ish?
Please be accurate because I am doing a project on this

Our pick of the answers:
Much better than being a plantation slave. There were many duties for a House Slave. A house slave usually had a bed or pallet under the eaves in the attic or perhaps down in the celler. One awoke before Dawn, had a quick wash-up at the pump, cold water only, perhaps a breakfast of grits and a cup of coffee. A slave whose job it was to work in the kitchen would be busy prepping breakfast for their family, this would involve slicing ham, frying up bacon and eggs, perhaps a pot of porridge. Then on to serving breakfast to their family. Certain household slaves would be valets or personal maids. They would awaken their masters, watch over them while they had their morning toilet, helping their masters to wash up, then dress. A master might want a morning shave, if so a slave would wield razor and shave him. A man's valet would have his master's wardrobe laid out, would hand over undies and pants and shirt, help the master on with his boots, and then coat, and then fade into the background as the master went down stairs to breakfast. A woman's maid would have her mistresses wardrobe laid outr; would watch over her mistress as she did her morning toilet, in many cases this meant handing her mistress a clean chamberpot, after her mistress had a bladder and/or bowel movement, the maid would hand the filled chamberpot to a lesser slave who would haul all filled chamberpots to the privy where they would be dumped and then clean. Meanwhile, slaves would serving their family breakfast. Throughout the day household slaves would dust and clean the house, those working in the pantry would tend to washing dishes & polishing silverware etc. The Slave Head Cook would spend an hour or so with the Mistress of the House going over the menu for lunch and supper, the number of guests to expect, etc. Some slaves were well regarded enough to be entrusted with market duties; they would take the menu and arrange for shopping/procuring groceries. Other household slaves would be tending to their families children, watching over them, even instructing them for example an elderly black woman might be assigned to teach a white girl sewing and knitting. Later in the day slaves would lay out lunch, serving lunch and cleaning up afterwards. Towards evening the ritual resumed with supper. Southerners tended to be social creatures. Guests would arrive and slaves would see their needs; again the toilet routine, handing over chamber pots, looking discretely away while guests emptied bladders and/or bowels, taking away chamberpots to be cleaned. A guests clothes might be dusty from their travel so slaves would tidy up their clothes, washing and dusting coats, etc. Women were fond of changing clothes several times a day so female slaves spent a great of time helping them into and out of the elaborate dresses of the times; squatting to button up shoes, straining to tighten corsets, helping the ladies into complicated dresses & blouses. A well provided plantation house would have a N^groe on hand who would tend to any barbering needs a male guest might need. Older blacks could be entrusted to shine shoes & boots. Enough blathering you should be able to work with this just think of all the things you would fob off on a slave if you could do so and you have the chores a slave would be expected to do. There were even female slaves prized for their ability to breast feed babies. The very same Southerners who regarded N^groes as property suckled their young via a N^gress's breast, how is that for weird!! Peace////////\\\\\\\\\\\\/////////////////\\\\\\\\\\
