Face it, Facebook allows us to have the "mike" as SonBen says. I don't do "slobs!' I am candid and call a spade a spade.
The one thing the U.S.Army inculcated in me ,which I already knew, was to Stand Tall, Soldier! If mother's take pride in their kids appearances ( as opposed to blinking sneakers and all that nonsense) children will take heed of what mother chooses for wardrobes. Madeline stood out this morning in her dress.
I now bleed the Salvation Army in every respect. Their clothing is virtually for "free.. almost." Put your pride in your pocket and change your habits. My own closet is 'running over with SA bargains.' Two generations ago my grandmothers, great- grand mothers and great- great- grandmothers fashioned kids clothing from grain bags!
When I was an aspiring Insurance Adjuster a Worcester merchant said I had a "clean face!" My dad delighted in hearing mye story. At Fort Dix I was mistaken for being a Radiologist! It's all about perception you know. During the peak of the Vietnam Revolt a certain General Manager at Brockton-Aetna was perturbed as to the slovenly manners of some employees..."Look sharp, Be Sharp, Feel Sharp." I agree.
New car need washing? Not me. Shoes need polishing? Not me. Need some DRANO for your BRAINO? LOL.How about another Mental Shampoo?
Attention to your details will elevate your self images! I know, I know....I'm a tough taskmaster. Old Ted Kagles said "GOYA" You know, a good swift kick in the asp!
What else can I say, but Good night!
Thanks. and "Tench-Hut!'
