They are fine in the shower. I saw a sign somewhere that summed it up:

I don't even own a pair. I wear sandals about 10 times a year.

If I can't wear one of my pairs of Timberland "White Ridge" hikers, I don't really want to do it. I reluctantly trade for "dress shoes" for church.

Speaking of tornadoes, just a couple weeks ago I was talking with a kid from New Hampshire. The subject of tornadoes came up. I started counting them up, and was kind of surprised I've been within about 1/4 mile of somewhere between 6-10 tornadoes, and despite that, in 55 years, I've never seen one of them.... and hope not to, either!

Same here, I am about 62 and have never seen one either. I have been close to them though, and have seen the aftereffects. But non of our properties in that time have suffered any tornado damage. And we are considered to live in or very near to tornado alley.

You and me both! Flip flops hurt my toes and the "flap-flap" noise drives me up the wall.

I can honestly say I have never owned any or worn any. I agree about the noise.

I have a high-skill, fairly well paid professional career. My 4yr old son loves to introduce himself and family to ANY new person.
Usually it goes "this is my mom. She is a nurse. This is my dad he is the best worker ever." To him, a 'worker' is anyone who does manual labor.

His mom says, "poor dad, he get no credit, he has 5 college degrees and his son thinks he's a combo farm/construction worker." (Because that what he sees me, and 'helps' me do.)

But I think it's great. To him, someone who can build something or fix something is held is very high reguard. I want it to stay that way. These are the producers and people who make life better for everyone else and are more self-sufficient.

I'm proud of the hard work that went into my education but for now I'm very happy to see him just appreciate hard work.

I was the first on Mom's side of the family with a degree... they come from a long line of farmers and my Grandmother would tell her friends that college didn't ruin me... I still knew how to work and she said it with all sincerity....

Since then I have a cousin with his Doctorate in Engineering... worked for some large companies around the world like Siemens... very capable and did his own home additions as his family expanded...

To us he is cousin Tony... when he was working in Germany and Bahrain it was Doctor...

Almost as good as a little later in the day when she asked my Dad where kept the "guy cows".

My Granddaughter brought with her a friend from Scotland to spend the weekend at our "farm". After looking around and fishing our pond for a while he asked us about the big frogs that he had seen along the bank. He said are those "cow frogs"? We had a good laugh and then said to him "You mean BULLFROGS". He said, "I knew the name had something to do with cattle.

Flip flops?

Try some Teva's. No noise, comfortable. One my favorite footwear come summertime beach time.

I prefer the closed toe Keens. Cool like a sandal, but you can walk miles in them, run if you need to and are good in the water as they won't pull off. A best of all, they protect your toes. keen sandals mens - Google Search

I prefer my **** kickers...

I hate flip flops. I'm not a big fan of any sandals.

Really! Why put them on when you can just go barefoot?
