David's Very Excellent Fairy Tale & Hose/Tights

[plinsenmayer]

Hi all --

David, are you on a business trip away from your family?  I think you
mentioned something about having too much time on your hands.  All I
can say is: you need to have too much time on your hands more often.
I thought the Fairy Tale was hysterical (I also agree with your latest
Snape musings but haven't had time to do a main list post .... I told
you we'd eventually agree on *something*!).  Still chuckling over that
fairy tale & wondering if Bryce would in any manner "get it" or if
he'd just roll his eyes.

cold in  all but the warmest weather.

As I said earlier, I avoid shoes at all costs.  I run around barefoot
in the summer & in socks most of the rest of the year (it's not so
cold here even in winter but my feet are *always* ice-cold except in
our hot summer months).

As for tights & stockings, I like tights just fine.  They *do* do
wonderful things for one's legs as Cindy mentions.  I wouldn't wear
them around the house ... but I do wear them out.

As for hose (we call it (them?) hose here, don't we Amanda?), I *hate*
them.  I agree Elkins -- the sizing is just hideously wrong.  I don't
have the long legs problem (understatement) but have a terrible time
finding the right fit.  I've also been known to put a runner in 4
pairs all before leaving the house.  Happiest days of my life were
when my company announced business casual attire (no more hose!) and
later, when I quit working in corporate America.  I loathe hose.
