No one seems to say anything to them. They seem to get jobs. I don't hear of any of them getting any flack because of it. Perhaps their "cuteness" gets them a bye. <BR/><BR/>Ah, well, if their mothers didn't teach them, I don't feel a huge obligation.<BR/><BR/>One of the young'uns who had clean but somewhat ratty looking long, long (to his behind) hair did actually cut it short prior to beginning CPE at a home for the elderly. I suspect the supervisor strongly suggested it as a courtesy to the elderly residents. I'm hoping he won't grow it back after this summer, but maybe I'm focusing on the wrong things...<BR/> <BR/>On the other hand, I've received comments on wearing open toed dress shoes with manicured toenails peeping out. This in the midst of 98 degree F weather. <BR/><BR/>I suppose I should be grateful no one comments on my width.mibi52/ The Rev.

But the mode at the moment seems to be to scorn all such "re-feen-ments" as somehow indicative of an imperfect love of the Lord, or something.Crimson Ramblerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13020190454645032359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4452366057148963499.post-44524015419510462262008-07-16T15:20:00.000-07:002008-07-16T15:20:00.000-07:00Years ago, there was a professor at Emmanuel Colle...Years ago, there was a professor at Emmanuel College (Toronto) who would arrive at one first year lecture a year with a small suitcase.<BR/><BR/>He would draw all the blinds, open the suitcase and proceed to teach all and sundry . . . table manners.<BR/><BR/>It was a very good idea.Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12862597168871768315noreply@blogger.com
