Do you think you might be an old fuddy duddy, but you may not realize it?

I love capris also, for a different reason. I'm short enough (5'3" and shrinking) so that every pair of regular length pants has to be shortened. Even the ones called "petites." (Hah! Petite giraffe, maybe.) If I get the "crop length" pants (same as capris, I think) they don't have to be shortened.

This has become more of a problem as each generation seems to be taller than the one preceding it. The clothing manufacturers are mainly interested in appealing to a younger demographic, same as the movie theaters. "If you old folks want to wear our pants, find a good tailor." I wonder if this is as much a problem for men also?

Same problem here. Even "petite" pants are too long, but some of the crop pants are just the right length for regular pants. I think all the makers of ladies' pants think that all women wear 3 inch spikes with pants, even very casual pants, which is just nuts. How many women wear 3 inch heels with yoga type pants???

Crop length pants are a bit longer than capris, which are supposed to come just a bit below the knee.

I have cutesy , adorable feet that I show off all summer. If I wasn’t in bed I’d show them off now. ☺

I have to laugh about this because my wife has embarrassed me more than once by telling friends that I have good looking feet.
 

My mom once bought me a package of granny panties. I think they were on sale and she thought it was such a bargain. I wouldn't touch them but never actually SAID anything to her about them. But I took her shopping with me soon after and said I needed new summer underwear. I bought lace bikini panties in eyeshadow blue colors and they look awesome. Sometimes in warm weather I walk around in lace bikini panties and a matching bra and I look ready to rock if I do say so myself. What's the point in keeping fit if you can't self indulge?

Amen!

Also, add:
- Ridiculous short shorts on teen/preteen girls
- Bare midriff on any female (other than swim wear)
- Baggy pants on guys that show off their a$$ crack
- ....

I could go on, but I think I am either off topic or a fuddy duddy!

So agree with you TravelinMan...especially about the pants, my motto is "just say no to crack"...especially in a plumber lodged underneath your kitchen sink...geesh, not a pretty visual.
 
Is the world getting more noisy or am I over sensitive? I mean, in a restaurant you have to have 10 televisions playing 10 different channels and the radio playing music over the PA system on top of normal restaurant noises. Sometimes I want to just move to Belize.

Think its the fact there are so many more people in the world. Way over double what there was in 1950...so there are so many different likes - Coke now has how many brands, compared to 1950? When you go in a restaurant, notice how those tvs are usually turned to different sports channels...lol. Call it information overload in attempt to attract attention.
 
I think the restaurants are encouraging higher and higher noise levels on purpose. Younger people seem to prefer loud restaurants. And just like with other items we've discussed on this forum, the proprietors are mainly interested in attracting them, as there are more of them than of us.

My friends and I have deliberately avoided several perfectly good restaurants, because we can't hear ourselves think in there.
