I'd make a distinction between the feed store and McDonalds. I think the bottom line for me is, if you sit down at a table to eat, take your hat off.
It's probably a larger issue for me than just hats. It's a whole mindset of people not knowing how to dress appropriately. I've seen people show up at funerals and semi-formal weddings in jeans and t-shirts. I don't buy the argument that "that's the best they have."
And, our day at Busch Gardens just reinforced that. Once again I had the experience of watching people and thinking that they got up that morning, looked in their closets and said "this looks good."
Then again, maybe I'm just a cantankerous old fart.
Alls I'm sayin' is if we ever meet in a restaurant, your dog better not be wearin' a hat...
Can you eat ~outside~ with a hat on your dog?
Well I can't. My dog is afraid of the outdoors.
Do you like my hat?
No, I do not like your hat.
Goodbye.
Goodbye.

I suppose. A better vacuum cleaner would be nice. But, in our household at least, vacuuming is a "we" chore. Giving me a vacuum cleaner suggests it is a "me" chore. If vacuuming really is a "we" chore then the gift is not really for "me" but rather for "us" and that's kind of tacky. IMNSHO. Walter E. Williams, who sits in for Rush on Fridays, loves to portray his wife as an employee. Her job description is taking care of the household, to include all the cleaning. His idea of a great gift is to give her tools/appliances that are necessary for her to perform her duties and that he would have had to purchase eventually anyway. By economizing thusly, he saves money and keeps a valued employee happy.
Oh, Big'ol was going to take me out for dinner. Then my MIL called and invited herself and my FIL. *sigh*
Well, around our family, as you can guess from the gift of 'anchor chain', many presents are presents for the 'house' as well as the person :~)
Our household, too. It was one of my Dad's biggest pet peeves and a criteria in his assessment of any of my potential significant others. He was much relieved when I married an Army officer. ;)
Pictures!
Big'ol now claims he's just pulling me leg with the vacuum cleaner thing. Urgh.
Please tell me you didn't just say I remind you of your father...
(is today your birthday?)
No, he was *much* older than you.
Ramius built one desk last night and started the rolling printer cabinet this morning. I finished it and started on the bookcase.
Unfortunately, the bookcase looks wonky - so I've stopped before I end up with a trapezoid-lookin' thing.
Ramius will fix it when he gets home. :-)
And speaking of projects, he went ahead and ordered the captain's bed along with 2 nightstands and a dresser. Here's the catch, we're gonna finish it ourselves. Yikes!
Hey...you and ecurbh wanna come over this weekend for a beer? You can bring the kids if you like. ;-)
Am I still coming up Sunday to get the double bed?
***rummages around to see if he still has ~the picture~***
