Time for shorts?

[FriendofSpurgeon]

Good...because I consider walking to my car from the house "outdoorsy". When it's 110 (with the heat index), stepping foot outside the house is "outdoorsy" .

Agreed. Down here, being outdoors is considered "outdoorsy."

I answered for me but I didn't answer for my husband. He has severe eczema and the BEST thing for him is to wear shorts to help keep his skin clear. So as soon as he can, he's in shorts. He wore shorts this weekend when it hit 75 degrees but today is 50 so no shorts. The ohter staff at church say they know summer is really here when DH doesn't wear pants anymore. LOL Of course he'll wear pants to church for services but otherwise he's forever in shorts.

Especially when he's on the boat!

I went to college in Florida and we were not allowed to wear shorts to class -- ever!

Yuch! Really??? Can I ask what college??

Our kids go to a Christian school and they have shorts as part of their uniforms.

I wear shorts year around...and I live in Cleveland.

 

[Palatka51]

I wear them year round even in the frigid Florida winters.

Now y'all know why us folk in Upstate New York like to keep a safe distance from the City folk. :laugh:

I wear shorts year around...I'm always hot. I also wear them to church. Here in Texas it's year around summer. :laugh:

Unless one looks really good in shorts, or one is doing yardwork or something outdoorsy in hot weather, I do not think anyone over 30 or so should wear them. Most people look horrendous in shorts.

I think skirts (for women) are much more comfortable when it's hot anyway.

I look better in a pair of shorts than I do in a skirt.

I generally will wear shorts when it gets warmer. Usually beginning in March. Around here, the temperature doesn't start dropping until about mid October or around the beginning of November.

When I decide to wear shorts, I mostly will wear them around the house. I also wear them if I am off work & heading to the store, I'll also wear shorts. I also occaisionally wear shorts when I am working on the weekends. You won't see me wearing shorts to church, a friend's house, or to work Monday through Friday.

It's called Eckerd College and is in St. Petersburg. It is very liberal.

That sure is the oppposite of me!

Here in the DC area where most people, except for young people, dress very businesslike (you might say frumpy), shorts are not as common unless people are in their yards or at a pool or something.

I'm glad. I really don't want to see you all's ugly legs, especially above the knees! :laugh:

All I can say is thank God for bermuda shorts!!

I agree. As a Floridian, I think I speak for the entire state...

For all northerners...

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE get a little sun on those legs before you come down here and wear shorts. We really don't want to see those pasty white legs that have not seen any sun in 6 months. :laugh:

PS -- Also, please remember you can wear you can wear sandals without your socks.

Excellent college. Too bad it's as liberal as it is. Wasn't always that way.

Just HOW are we to do that? Yesterday was the first day above yucky cold this year and we HAD to wear shorts (it hit 92 degrees). My pastey white legs looked nasty but now they sport a slightly pink hue.

I cannot wear any shoes or sandals without socks. If I do, I get blisters.

Yes, it was always very liberal.

I never wore shorts before moving to Florida, and now I wear them all year long.
