Good luck Charlie. You surely feel better when it's done! Before entering the surgery and in view of the days you can't use your hand, you should get trained to type on tip toes.

Thanks JP, and to all who sent me wishes!! They sent me home the same day, and though there is some pain, my fingers no longer fall asleep!!Wow!!
I'm learning how to really use one of the Stew's blades!!
And to type mostly one-handed!!

Looking Good, Charlie.

I've worn blue jeans with t-shirt and sneakers most of my life, when not at work. When I was working construction, I wore jeans and T-shirt with work boots.

Most of the time I take mercy on the public by not wearing shorts, but sometimes I put comfort over avoidance of screaming women and children. Just sayin'.

 

[r8shell]

The statement that jeans and t-shirts are only for children (and cowboys) may display a hint of classism. They have traditionally been worn by all manner of physical laborers. Miners and farmers and construction workers and mechanics, etc. I say, why shouldn't everyone wear them?

Nowadays, seeing more and more folk out in public wearing sweat pants or pajamas, a pair of jeans seem positively formal.

 

[JB in SC]

I wear shorts from April to about October. Jeans in the fall and winter. I’m retired and I wear whatever I want and no more than I have to.

 

[Henry Beige]

A lot of school bus drivers in Minnesota wear shorts year-round. For that matter, so do a lot of the kids who stand out in 10-degree weather to wait for their bus. Many actually walk out to the road to wait, unlike those who get a ride to the end of the driveway and wait in the comfort of Mom’s warm SUV.
