    Yep. The world we grew up in is not here anymore. What we learned as wrong is not wrong anymore and the right we learned is not right anymore either. No wonder we get “cranky” when we get old.

    Were they at least camo ? Or some kind of Spider-Man jammas ? Lol
    Surprised I’ve not seen pajamas in church yet.
    Several with hats or ball caps on too, kinda disrespectful I think.
    No one cares anymore it seems.

    around here they wear sweatpants to church. back before I retired, one day at work a guy shows up for a job in sweatpants. after interview, big boss asks me what I think. I told him if the guy was too lazy to get dressed in the morning, he would be too lazy to work. did not get the job.

    It's part of the cycle of life.

    Like when you were a kid- you believed in Santa Claus, and looked forward to his visits.
    In a few short years- you realize he isn't a real person.
    A while after that: you become Santa Claus.

    Remember when you would have the bad dream about going somewhere in your pajamas or underwear?

    No big deal these days.

    That's because parents do not parent. They take the easy way out and raise entitled little ankle-biters.

    I always thought pajamas were what your parents wore in case the house caught on fire
    and they had to stand out in the yard in front of the neighbors.

    If you do a good job of raising children, you get to spoil your grandchildren. If you spoil your children, you get to raise your grandchildren.

    I am a part time teachers aide in the local High School. Love the students. There are a significant number that wear their PJ's to school on a regular basis.

    My wife and I stopped at the grocery store the other to get a couple things. I sat in the car and my wife scooted in to get them. She came out when done, just shaking her head. Seems there was a young couple in there - the guy was picking the groceries out and his VERY young wife or girlfriend was following him up and down the aisles. She was extremely pregnant - wearing sandals, tight short shorts and a very short crop top - all of which left nothing to the imagination. Yea . . . . it's a different world out there . . . . sadly.

    Exactly this. It's been a problem for the last 40+ years. It's the reason we're in the mess we're in today.

    Great statement there.

    I see quite a few wearing surgical scrubs, particularly in hot weather. I wear them around home, but wouldn't wear them to Walmart, that's what pajamas are for.

    The solid soft lead bullet is undoubtably the best and most satisfactory expanding bullet that has ever been designed. It invariably mushrooms perfectly, and never breaks up. With the metal base that is essential for velocities of 2000 f.s. and upwards to protect the naked base, these metal-based soft lead bullets are splendid.

    Forget everything you know about loading jacketed bullets. This is a whole new ball game!

    This concept is very important.

    For example:
    When your Grand kid's diaper gets 'full', you want to be able to smile, and 'hand them back'.
    In school: We learn lessons, and are given tests.
    In life: We are given tests, and learn lessons.

    I'm certain that a lot of you can relate to this. When I was growing up, I was not allowed to go anywhere 'respectable' while wearing blue jeans. I had to change into different pants before we left home. Also, my mother did not drive, so she had to ride the city bus to go anywhere. I vividly recall her always wearing a scarf over her hair when we went 'downtown.' She was a Kansas farm girl, raised during the 1920s and 30s. My, how our world has changed since then.

    My grandfather did not suffer fools lightly. I was raised by him and tend to follow his ways, but unless somebody is effecting me directly, I let idiots be idiots in public.
