A friend of mine who had fifteen years on me explained it this way.
Think of life as the ball on a tetherball pole. When first swung, the
ball goes around the pole slowly. Toward the end, the ball whips around
the pole rapidly. When the ball reaches the pole, you're done. Each
rotation of the ball is a year of your life. Young people don't
understand this. Old people are terrified by it. It seems to me like
Christmas was only a week ago.

He's from one of my favorite movies that my wife still doesn't get.
"Being There". Chauncey was the elegant yet clueless gardener who was
considered wise by powerful folks who read into his silence that he
knew more than they did. Bravo, Peter Sellers.
I still watch it when I can find it on the "old time" TV channels. It
isn't played often. It's been at least five years since I last saw it.

[ObFood] I bought a pork shoulder roast with no particular idea in
mind. So I thought, I'll make pulled pork and simmered it for four
hours. I pulled out the meat from the broth and decided to Mexicanize
the broth. I added two jalapeños, a couple of tomatoes and four
tomatillos diced. That ruined the broth. Wow! It was sour.
So I added plenty of salt, some sugar and a small can of enchilada
sauce. Better but still no bueno.
I added a small can of tomato sauce and more sugar and salt, ripped the
pork into bite sized chunks and added hominy. Now I have a half-assed
posole that doesn't taste too bad. It's actually decent. Enough said.
I'll spread barbecue sauce on the rest of the pork and heat the mess
for sandwiches. I'm usually better than this.

In this neck of the woods, sandals with socks means "I have a PhD."

It was old men with sandals and socks, usually dress socks carefully
pulled up. I don't see many of those now, likely because the male
generation that did that is no longer around.

I still see it here occasionally. They look like 75+ men. White socks,
pulled up high, and shorts.

No, it's a funny look but I don't ask if you like my blue nail polish,

It's that socks defeat the purpose of sandals.

I've never seen white socks pulled up. It was always black dress
socks pulled way up almost to the knees. My father did that,
sadly. He was a fashion failure. And he was over 75 years of age.

No more than 17-18 floors here due to Navy jets flying in. By the
time they get near the landing, they are flying about 2-4 stories
high...right over my building.

You're in the country, I moved from sea shore to suburbia. However
this is not a building of old geezers thankfully and I noticed at the
last meeting the average age is getting even lower, young business
people are buying into the one bedroom or bachelor units so that they
get a start on owning a home.

I know how that feels, when the Swissair flight went down off Peggys
Cove there were sea king helos flying back and forth from Peggys to
Shearwater and also cruising the coastline trying to spot bodies. They
flew in just about fifty foot overhead of my house when landing at
Peggys and given their abysmal track record, I was constantly holding
my breath :)

He doesn't get it at all, if we want to wear makeup we do, if we don't
we don't, it's not because of what someone else thinks of it.

Oh yes it is, Nancy. You women have been brainwashed into
believing you need to spend top dollars on all various makeup.

I love the latest infomercial selling women on using an airbrush
to completely spray paint their faces. Arrghhh@

You women don't need all this makeup, don't need high heels,
don't try to dress "sexy." You've either got it or you don't.
None of that nonsense helps.

You do notice that most men aren't suckered into buying into all
that crap. Right?

Heck, men have even convinced everyone that it's cool to get lazy
and not even shave. It's now the men's fashion. LOLOL..

You think you have it figured out but you're wrong. Not that
you get it but you saying that doesn't make it true by a long
shot.

When I kiss my wife, I want to kiss her, not a coating of chemicals.

Some women look OK with a touch of makeup, but the ones that overdo look
hideous.

They do offer some protection to the soles of your feet so that part is
sensible, compared to barefoot. Never had a pair of sandals of
flip-flops myself though.

You'd be surprised at how many mens products are out there these days, and a
whole lot of *younger men* use them, *senior men* like you, not so much.
You're more into keeping the wet spot off the front of your khakis. LOL

Flip flops are dangerous as far as falls and driving go.

What makes you think she's wearing a skirt? If she's wearing slacks,

I guess the Honduran hasn't been to many nail salons. Anybody with a
bit of patience and training can do an excellent job, male or female.

I see white crew socks, black dress socks, and tube socks. I've
n-e-v-e-r seen a man over the age of 70 with sandals sans socks;
it's just not in their DNA.

Well... I haven't been there since around 2005 or so. One of the women
I used to go there with tells me the place is still in business so maybe
they took care of the pest control issues.
