  • When I lived in the Midwest, indoor carpeting was everywhere, and everyone took their shoes off at the door. Probably due to snow and muck and whatever else.

    Moved to the east coast and people thought it was weird that I would try to take my shoes off at their door. Most people had hardwood.

    I still live on the east coast, and basically I just do what people ask. It generally seems like places that have carpeting ask for shoes off, those that don’t, don’t.

    That’s when you’re going to someone else’s home. In my own home, I have indoor shoes and outdoor shoes. The indoor shoes are basically slip on types. I wear them everywhere inside until I’m going to bed, then they go by the bed.

    I have children and I got tired of stepping on shit and walking with a limp because I stepped on a metal truck the size of a dime or whatever.







  • Not that it’s necessarily the case here, but I destroyed my knee and had crutches etc for a while, and I just got a tag to hang from my mirror.

    Someone walked up before I got out of the car yelling about how I can’t park there, and then I got out with my crutches and knee wheelie and pointed at the handicap tag on my rear-view mirror.

    Again, probably not the case here, but I had that thing for about a month, and I caught a ton of dirty looks and stuff because people assumed all handicapped indicators are on license plates.






  • It doesn’t happen every time, and it happened a lot less when I got high more often. Now that it’s rarely (more like once a week instead of once a day) it seems to happen more. I think it also has something to do with being older and having significantly more responsibilities.

    I do sometimes miss getting high more often, but I actually find I’m overall much happier with my life. I’m not saying that happened because I’m high less. The opposite really, I think I feel the need to get high less because I’m generally just happier with my life.

    I also know it fits into peoples’ lives in all kinds of different ways. I’m friends with all day, every day smokers who are quite happy with their lives, quite accomplished, and have tons of responsibilities, so I don’t think there is a correlation in that sense. I just don’t want you to think I’m trying to subtly criticize! I’m not. 🙂
