Only by the time you get around to doing that, people have already commented on it.

(This does not imply I have written mean posts )

Yah.

My oldest had the worst smelling feet as a teenager. Mostly it was due to him constantly wearing the same sneakers every day, often without socks. It got to the point where I made him remove them before entering the house and leaving them outside. Teenage boys. Sheesh.

My son behaved less problematic with socks and sneakers, nevertheless his feet/shoes smelled. I bought an odour spray for the inside of his sneakers. The spray helped a lot.

We don’t say sheesh, we say the feet smell like cheese.

I wear barefeet all day. No stench.

I can't stand being barefoot.

I can't stand being barefoot.

I had a boyfriend like that once. I don't think he had gone barefoot ever in his life aside from when he was born. He feet were as soft as a baby's behind!

I've had too many decades of dance classes and long distance hiking carrying a 20+ lb pack for my feet to ever be that soft.

I would love to walk barefoot in my garden, but......I don't want to step on chicken or dog poops. I picked them all up a few times a day, but still I do not want to.

I used to walk barefoot in my garden on the lawn and that was many life times ago before I have dogs and chickens.

I like walking barefoot through springy thick grass and clover. Haven't done that in years, there's not much of it in the desert.

Whenever I can, I take our dogs to grass areas. There's an apartment building we pass on some of our walks that has short stretches of real grass bordering it. It must feel so nice on the dogs' paw pads as opposed to the usual dirt and gravel.

I'm just being silly. Not every teenaged boy smells bad, of course, it's just a generalization. I'm sure you don't stink.

I remember my brother in his teenage year, he barely shower and used a lot of cologne.

When he told us he had a girlfriend, we were all wonder how that happened as he was covered in strong smell of cologne.... that is annoying to us all the over powering smell of cologne.

It is a wonderful feeling walking barefoot on grasses.

Yes, dogs love it. My dogs roll themselves and get their back scratch on grass.

We have so much rain over here that I mow the lawn at least 1 a week, that is when it stops raining for a day. I get allergy from overgrown grasses.

Thank you for saying this.

Old people are a living repository of history. I really (REALLY) wish I talked to my grandmother more. I heard my mom's stories of living through the Great Depression as a young girl. I missed out on hearing my grandmother's stories as a mother in that time.

My mother tells me stories of her growing up, early life and marriage to my dad, my birth..etc.... a gazillion times over.....and still she continues to tell me about them, and I did say to my mom that tell me 1 story that I have not heard of before and so far she has not found 1 that she had not told me before.

Many stories mom tells me are very personal that I rather not hear it.

Mom still telling me that I am telling you all this now so that you can tell her grandsons - my nephews about her stories if she did not live long enough to tell them.
