I       like to sees a crisp uniform & clean shaven, & no damned earphones listening       to the hockey game on their pocket radio                Yep. I prefer the old days when people dressed nicely in public, not       like they had rooted around in the dark for just anything to put on.        At work I listen to podcasts on my phone I've downloaded and use only one       Bluetooth ear bud. The volume is down low enough so I can hear what's going       on around me and if speaking to someone that earbud is either turned off       (pausing the podcast) or removed,        I have often been to 10 feet from a student with earphones/buds in and       can hear what they are listening to. I can only imagine their hearing       problems in the future).               > or you're calling out transfer points                Our buses have a recording that says things like the upcoming street is       whatever.        One of the most annoying messages is when the turn signal is on and its       announced in a very loud voice "this bus is making a left/right turn" over       and over until the flasher is turned off.               > Yup, the tuinmes they are a-changing! *sigh*               And not always for the better.              > > tattoos and the rest.               I was reminded after I wrote that: Never get a tattoo where the judge can       see it. :)        Of course now some of the judges are inked up themselves I imagine.        I wonder how many people when they get older will ask themselves about       being inked off over "What was I thinking?"         At least back in my day a lot of foolish things weren't permanent.              > don't wear a hat, even on cloudy days.               I very rarely ever so outside bareheaded.        In the winter I wear a wool cap (one light for cool days, one heavy for       cold days) and my cap. And I wear a cap year round. In the summer to keep       the sun out of my eyes.        People say they won't wear one because it messes up their hair. I would       rather have messy hair than pneumonia.         Nor do I wear shorts outside. Even to take out the trash. Though I did       once and felt half naked.        People always say the more clothes I have on the better I look. :)              > like "how does it matter what colour they are?"               I recall one time talking about someone, something silly they said or       did. Later the person I was telling this to asked why didn't I mention the       fella was black. I asked "what difference did it make?" and they had no reply.        Unless its pertinent to the story/conversation a persons skin colour       means nothing to me.              > I'm sorry you misunderstood me; & I'm sorry you're the type to assumne the       worst about someone. Have a nice day. . . . somewhere else!               "Have a nice day... somewhere else".
