Shqueeves Posted October 12, 2017 Posted October 12, 2017 I'm glad my mom doesn't understand the interwebs. I'd feel mortified if she was on here. That said, I feel slightly bad for Kobold. Not enough to stop laughing at this struggle, but he still has some sympathy. Also, I can't wait to troll my kids (if I ever have any) 1

Silverblade5 he/him Posted October 12, 2017 Posted October 12, 2017 What is so bad about socks and sandals?

Argent he/him Posted October 12, 2017 Posted October 12, 2017 We have a Yahoo Answers entry on this, I feel like things don't get any more canon unless they come from an apostle.
StormingTexan he/him Posted October 12, 2017 Posted October 12, 2017 The Yahoo has spoken. Case closed.
Kobold King he/him Posted October 12, 2017 Posted October 12, 2017 Yahoo Answers, surely the Oracle of Delphi of our time. 1

Though I don't mind socks and sandals with pants; it's not visible enough to bug me, and all the males in our household do socks and sandals with pants in the spring and fall. We've gotten to the point where it has to get pretty cold before we're willing to put on real shoes. Well, cold for Texans, so around freezing.

I won't wear a jacket until ~40 degrees (~4C) and don't wear anything heavier until almost 0 degrees (~ -18C). I always wear shoes, because I dislike sandals.

We lived in Illinois for almost a decade, and my definition of "hot" and "cold" both changed during those years. I also learned that part of it for me is simply having appropriate outdoor gear. We have so few truly cold days here that it simply doesn't make sense to keep heavy insulated clothing on hand, so when we DO have an actual cold day, it really stinks to get out in it in clothing suited towards more moderate temps. I was literally warmer outdoors in a blizzard in Illinois than I was last winter when the temperature got down to 20 F here. Our family has gotten more hardy after five years of living off-grid, though. Now, it has to get below 45 F before we bother to turn on a heater or light a fire. We just put on a hoodie and keep going, with (mostly) a minimum of whining.

I'm 46 and mother to a partially bearded one, mostly because he doesn't like to shave. __________ At WM... KK: Ooh. It looks like those grackles have a piece of garlic bread. Me: You're not taking garlic bread away from the grackles. KK: I like garlic bread. Me: That's disgusting. KK: It's probably more than they can eat. Me: You know I'm posting this. KK: [just laughs] __________ I'm pretty sure I'm the only one who has actually eaten something off the ground in the WM parking lot, though. In my defense, it was a pink Mentos, and those are my favorite, and I'm the one who dropped it. But if I hadn't, he would have. __________ Also, I changed my name because it was wrong and it was driving me crazy knowing that it was wrong. Edited October 14, 2017 by Anarkitty 2
