A little concerned.
I am starting to get a little concerned. In two months I turn forty. This past weekend I bought a mini-van. (Something I said I would never do.) Here lately, I have been wearing socks with my sandals. But let me get one thing straight, they are white socks and I don't wear them in public. I wonder what God is trying to tell me?
God bless, Joe
PS. Let me just add one thing, IF ANYONE EVER SEES ME WEARING BLACK SOCKS WITH SANDALS, JUST SHOOT ME. A little concerned.

Don't fear it ... embrace it.
I turned 40 a couple of years back and I'm fine. People say that as you get older you start falling apart and your memory starts to fade, but I'm doing alright.
And another thing, people say that as you get older you start falling apart and your memory starts to fade, but I'm doing alright.
And white socks with sandals IS acceptable?? Bang!
I vaguely remember 40.
next thing you know you will be wearring suspenders and cleaning your ears out with your keys.
(or do you already do this???)
:)
Hey, Joe,
There's a reason they say life begins at 40. You may lose a little quick, but you gain a little smart. By the time you're forty there aren't a whole lot of first decisions to face and knee jerk reactions don't seem worth it.
Somehow you find your feet and you feel more comfortable in your skin.
And people can't call you childish, they have to call you eccentric.

I've been doing stuff like that for ages and I'm not 40 for another 3 years!
God Bless.
LOL
Fun times ahead - at least I can send hubby ahead of me to check them out. Since, you know, he'll be there about 4 years before me.
I am NOT buying a minivan though. And I mean it.
Socks and Sandals - there's an entire website dedicated to the subject.
haha! That's funny. My dad is 42 and he wears socks with is sandals (not in public thank goodness for us)...it's funny thought, because my Dad made a joke to this guy in my youth group about socksand thongs/sandals and the guy started to wear socks with thongs/sandles to set his own trend...hehe...amybe you could start a trend. My mum told my Dad when they first met that she'd never be so unfasionable as to wear track suit pants and baggy jumpers...but the other day she laughed and said 'look at me!'
Just don't ever start wearing shorts with dress socks and wingtips. When my daughter was younger, maybe 6 or 7 years ago (I was already over 40) she and her friends were bugging and bugging me to take them to the mall. I finally gave in, but came out of my room (on purpose) wearing black dress socks and wingtips with shorts and a Hawaiian shirt. They literally screamed. It was a hoot, but not something I'll ever do again.
Something else about being over 40...I wake up sometimes, all sore, and think, "I didn't work out yesterday..." Welcome to the old farts club.
Oh, yeah....dude...dump the minivan. Next thing you know you'll be listening to Kenny G and doing aerobics.
When I turned 40 I bought a Mercedes Benz.
What a hoot, Joe! I'm 50 and I love it! I wear socks with my tennis shoes, what's the diff?
Well Joe, is that a picture of you? Because the socks in that picture are black, unless of course you are colorblind or your washing machine doesn't get your whites white.
And I have to mention the hairy legs, I am not sure which is worse... the socks with the sandals or the hair, who need socks when you have hair like that? Can men wax their legs?
I don't have to worry about being the big 4-0 for another 11 years. Okay, okay it is really 5 years and 2 months...
