I must say I had to smile at that Tim. I am guilty of grabbing my flip-flops to go out all the time. When I work, I have to convert to shoes and boots. I manage a tax office in a WalMart and I think the most shocking thing that I have seen personally is a man dressed in flannel pj’s and house shoes shopping like he was in a designer suit. Come on people. – have some modestly – sleep in pj’s – shop in regular clothes

Don’t think that will ever happen at WalMart, which has become kind of a Rocky Horror Picture Show cult institution. All we can do is enjoy it as best we can.
I went to work with one of my tennis shoes and one of my husbands tennis shoes. That poor foot flopped all day in that tennis shoe! Your look comfortable!
In my area, Walmart is next to Lowes. I practically live at Lowes. Can’t visit Lowes without visiting Walmart. I was wearing the shoes at Lowe’s, too. And Burger King. And…
The teenagers are wearing socks that don’t match all the time – it’s a fashion thing. You might as well be the first to start the trend with shoes that don’t match. Soon you’ll see teens doing it and you’ll be able to say, I was the first!
“The teenagers are wearing socks that don’t match”
^^^ I solved this problem. I stopped wearing socks. The dryer Elves can have them. Now I wear indoor-outdoor slippers all the time. “Old Friend” brand name are SUPER comfortable. http://tinyurl.com/qbdtt8w
Expensive, but WELL worth the price. My main pair is going on 4 + years. Wear them everywhere. Still have lots of tread left.
Everything seems to be getting faster and shorter. Hours in the day. Weeks in the month. The time in-between holidays and New Year’s Eves. But NOOOooooo. Senior moments move slower and last longer.
It’s okay, tho!!! I maintain that folks of a certain age, or young women who are eight months pregnant, can wear anything, anywhere! Comfort is comfort! If you have two pairs of those, all the more lucky you are! You’ve a matching set at home. (actually, folks with a swollen foot or ankle on only one foot often have to wear different shoes at the same time. Certainly no one questioned you!). If any of us see your feet in a post online, we will all come to fight them for your honor!!!
Hang in, Tim! If this is the worse thing you do from now til Christmas, think how blessed you are!
I have pretty much given up trying to be cool. Couple weeks ago I wore a printed T-shirt inside-out all day. Eventually, when I took off my shirt, I figured out what the kids behind me in a Burger King line were sniggering about.
I am one of those guys who — when they find something that truly FITS or that I like — buy several of whatever that item is. I have 4 sets of those indoor-outdoor slippers, all different colors. Still waiting on an underwear sale for a product last made in the sixties. Gotta admit, those “Duluth” man cave clothing commercials are starting to look pretty good.
I agree with Ginny, nobody probably noticed! Once my brother shaved half his beard and mustache off, and off we went to the mall. Nobody noticed!

Although many people probably didn’t notice your brother’s odd facial hair, others most likely did and just didn’t comment.
