A different Saturday

Ideally basking in the sun like a lizard on a rock and reading pool-side is my summer Saturday. To get a good rate on car insurance attending driving school was this Saturday. Today I got 100% on the test - a far trade.

With 5 young people and 1 instructor with the 'retirement can't come too soon' attitude I spent 8 hours learning defensive driving. How it has changed in 3 years since last taken.

Road rage was the biggest focus. We've all seen it and been victims of it. The 48 Hour video shown about people being murdered by road rage sure caught the kids attention and mine. I just don't understand rage like that.

Safety tips were really helpful. Did you know to keep latex gloves in your car in case you have to touch body fluids? How to change a tire fell on my deaf ears. I know a nice motorist will stop to help me. Call me Pollyanna...it works.

Did you know that you can call #77 for the State Police in Va.? Keep your car well maintained. In other words, keep it excellently, like you want to be kept.

To Wear or Not To Wear

To wear pantyhose or not to wear pantyhose! That's the question! In 100 degree heat the answer is flat out NO in big letters. Otherwise, what do you think?

The issue came up this morning on Good Morning America. Dianne and Robin mentioned an article in the Wall St. Journal about pantyhose as part of the dress code. It all started with Jim Holt at MidAmerican Credit Union taking a stand for a dress code at his company. The Gen Yers 'revolted' at the hosiery idea. And the rest is news for the Journal. (At least it's not about the economy or gas prices.)

I called Jim and he told me that he was looking for an average standard and better for his employees. After all they do represent the company.

OK - back to pantyhose. Having worn the garter belt and stockings that predated pantyhose when dressed up, I personally welcomed them. They were much easier to put on and they kept my legs and ____ warm in cold winters.

In my opinion there's nothing more attractive or sexy for women than her leg having with a nice sheen from sheer hosiery to it.
