I can remember in the 50's and 60's when they were called things. I really don't recall when the name was switched over to another form of wearing apparel. I don't think they asked my opinion.

Maybe they quit calling the shoe thingies "thongs" when they started calling underwear "thongs"...too confusing to some I guess

Hello cafe. Hope everyone is having a good weekend.

Hey, Pert, hope that things are good with you.

You're probably right. Somehow, I don't think "butt crack floss" would have been a good marketing name for what they actually are.

DH's daughter, SIL and one grandson just left after a nice visit. They brought with them their new rescue dog, Sophie.
Miss Sophie has herself some resource guarding issues.
She kept growling at Skittles when he came over to hang out with us. She ultimately bit him in the muzzle and put two little punctures in him. I disinfected them and he's fine. Daughter and SIL are mortified with Sophie's behavior.
I gave them a bunch of training tips as well as a spare remote controlled E-collar with vibration warning and a dial for the electronic stimulus and showed them how to use the collar.
Sophie has the chance to be a great dog with some good training. I wish I could have kept her for the next week and worked with her. Oh well.

Good thing it happened at your house & not somebody elses. Maybe you can convince them to let you 'borrow' her for a week.

I think they call them slippers in Hawaii.

They've already hit the road to go home to WV. I've given them lots of tips and advice and the E-collar. I'll talk to her in a week or so and see how things are working out. They are great people and receptive to my advice.

I don't know how you lot do that bare foot stuff. I would be hopping and whimpering like I was walking on hot coals; not to mention not having any toes left.

Have always been a barefoot girl. My feet are big and wide.

Hi @pertnear09 I remember thongs being footwear too. I was quite confused when I went shopping for new thongs with a friend and we ended up in the underwear section

You mean people don't wear thongs on their feet anymore!
