Lesley:
You have many interesting observations their.
I agree with you, today's fashion is not what is was say when I was in grade school.
Men wore a suit and tie generally, Unless they where doing construction, Women wore
a dress or a skirt and top, nice shoes by both sexes, and courtesy was the order of the day.
Society has gotten quite laze over the years, with new laws being generated on those who
wear their pants at their knees. (I can not understand that one at all)
Like you stated, girls pay big money for pants (Jeans) with holes in the them, we use to use
them as rags when working on the car.
No one wants to be bothered with fixing up their hair, (Glad I am going bald) It must be to much
work. My wife is always fixing her hair, even when we are not going anywhere.
It is part of her up-bringing, something taught to her as a child.
Todays kids are over powered with tech. to the point that they do not use their heads for more
than an unused Hat rack.
As a Carpenter, I used Math everyday, so many of the young men coming out of school did not
have the basic knowledge of simple math, they could not add 2 fractions together, or multiply 2
fractions together, or could find the circumference of a circle. Heck I had a man, about 22 who thought
"pi" was a desert.
I guess we came from the old school where you did home work with a pencil, and not the computer.
