How­ ever becoming “a little long in the tooth” causes a slow down giving one more time to ponder the changes that continue to bombard our lives. For instance, few people have mastered all the words in the dictionary, yet new words are being coined and added. Currently accepted is the word “ginormous” which means extremely large. What’s wrong with huge, immense, or enormous? “Humongous” also makes sense. Combining ’gin’ with ’mous.’ sounds like an intoxicated moose! And who can keep up with all the acronyms? Are we such poor spellers or so swamped for time that we haven't got time to spell out words. When reading a article sometimes it is easy to lose track o f the essence o f a story while trying to figure out what entity or organization is entailed. Does anyone else belong to 1FW1M (I Forgot What It Means)? Are schools correct to suggest life style choices such as issuing contraceptives for middle school students? A less debatable ruling towards decency would be that boys wear suspenders to prevent a complete “drop down” for those with the crotch of their pants dangling around the knees. Girls are also redefining their waists to somewhere near the hipbone. Perhaps they too could use suspenders since we don’t need to know if they are wearing thong underwear. Whither it’s a dress-up or casual occasion, holey jeans and baggy shirts take center stage. How about a school board who banned school dances because student dancing was thought to be too suggestive? Shades o f Elvis Presley back when it was thought that his hip-grinding moves were disgraceful. Kids emulate what they see from the suggestive moves of performers like Madonna to the risque routines o f dancers on TV shows. Talking about dirty dancing, I recall when people used to think native dances were a bit weird and uncivi­ lized. Their gyrations don't hold a candle to the hip-hop dancers who spin around on their heads. Someone needs to supply them with padded helmets before they end up with brain concussions. These back-flipping athletes deserve a place in Olympic competition. When it comes to everyday appearances, both sexes give new meaning to fashion statements. Men who are perhaps trying to grow a beard present scruffy, whiskery, faces that looks like they were too lazy to shave. As to men’s hair, everything goes from shaved heads to rooster topknots, hay shocks or long hair. Just as perplexing is the long, straggly hair fashion causing women to constantly push hair off their faces in order to see or be seen. Hair bar­ rettes do keep hair in place, that’s why they were invented. The shaggy dog or the “I just got out o f bed” looks are not what I call flattering. I can only ponder why dressing up for women means wearing a BARE minimum o f clothing while their male counterparts often swelter in shirts, ties and jackets. If women truly wanted to conserve energy on this planet, they could try adding to their attire thus facilitating lower room temperatures. Somehow, someway, there could be a happy medium between a bikini and a Bedouin robe. If it’s true that you are what you eat, then no wonder some o f us resemble stuffed turkeys. Happy Thanksgiving!
