What Phil said. Maybe he had an appt., worked late, & no time to go clean up. Another thing is depression, which seems to be rampant these days. You don't realize unkempt you might look when you don't have any energy and feel horrible, and don't know why. I'm sure doctors look for signs of that, too.

I just noticed this post- one thing that bothers me, which I don't recall encountering before recent years, is the tendency to jump to conclusions without knowing the facts. As only one recent example, on the most minor end of the scale, plumbing problems in the building resulted in shower/tub/sink being "out of order" for 5 days. Under such circumstances, locals would jump to the conclusion that it 'meant' either some mental health problem or drug use.

This is hilarious, Pappy, made me really laugh out loud. Funny thing, my mom never mentioned it once...girls tend to be a lil more particular about that sort of thing. (wink!)

Yes I agree. My mother was more worried about underwear that was held together with small gold safety pins. Those damn shoulder straps were always giving way.

My maternal grandmother instructed my mother to give the undertaker a couple of safety pins, to tuck into her coffin, so she would be prepared in the event her elastic let go.

This thread reminded me of my youngest son.

He was around the age of 5 or 6, and absolutely hated bathing. It was a fight to get him into the tub, which led to me instructing him and sometimes even going as far as marching him into the bathroom, filling the bathtub, stripping him down, and setting him in to get my point across.

Anyhow, that stubborn kid would have a bath and put on his same pair of old worn underpants. For anyone here that never raised boys, for the first handful of years after they master toilet training, they wear piddle stained underpants.

Needless to say, the old plastic diaper pail made for a great storage solution for unmentionables until laundry day, so whenever dear son took a bath, the minute he was in the tub, I'd pluck his underpants from the heap of clothes he had hastily taken off, and straight into the diaper pail they'd go.
