The Good Old Days! The Kenmore Bug Eye! But all joking aside...this dress is not a good example, but I can remember when people took pride in the way they looked. You would never go shopping or to church without changing into good clothes. You dressed to fly, you dressed to go out to eat, you took pride in yourself. My eyes take a beating daily here...looking out to into the Wal-Mart store from my office...people must get out of bed, not look into a mirror, grab their cell phone and head out for the day.... The first bank I worked for and this is not a joke, we were told that we represented the bank 24/7. So if we were out and about in town we needed to be dressed respectfully. I never left the house to go shopping without wearing a shirt and tie. My how times have changed. I won't to this day go to church to practice, choir practice, or any church function without wearing dress cloths..including a tie! After having a couple of days off work, I look forward to getting back into a nice shirt, tie, dress pants and nice shoes. Don't get me started on cell phones... Call me old fashioned... Morgan |

When I first moved to Portland, Oregon in 1994, I remember looking out the front window early on a Sunday morning. I could not BELIEVE the way people who were arriving for mass at the Catholic church across the street: shorts, flip-flops, sandals, cut-offs, dirty tennies. I suppose the church was grateful that they were at least GOING to church. And dressing for the office: I spent a total of 15 years in various lawfirms, and have also worked in other kinds of offices for about that long as well. I am personally glad I do not have to wear a tie anymore, but I can identify with your comments about what people DO wear in public. When I was a kid, my mother and I would go downtown to The Emporium on Market St. in San Francisco. You did not dare go downtown without getting dressed up. My mother actually wore a hat and GLOVES. Of course, that was more than 50 years ago. Now you're lucky if most folks are wearing underwear. BTW...the Bugeye is missing a bumper, it appears. I actually think that IS a woman, but not totally sure. And, jdinstl: you're right. I can't imagine any man chancing giving a gift of a vacuum for any occasion, not unless he wanted to get beaned by it. I know older people who told me that they used to think that the Christmastime vacuum ads were stupid back then as well. Personally, I would have been THRILLED with a Hoover under MY tree! John L. |
