I was laughing at the reference to "enlisting the aid of long haired dogs to keep one's legs warm".
On a personal note, I have no problem with men wearing shorts. I think it's funny that we have our ladies wear skirts that expose their legs, but we preach against men wearing shorts to expose theirs.
But, that's just another one of my little hangups.

I wasn't offended at all. 
(I DID remove the picture.... because it was so big that it was making threads unnecessarily long. I may try shrinking it down another notch.)

Thank you for the "making threads long with non-text" consideration!

My wife wears her dresses down to the ankle for the same reason of logic that you have just mentioned. To think of an Emergildo Zegna suit that just went a little below the knee cap would look quite odd. Also a waste of a good suit. Looking sharp and clean is better than dumpy and frumpy.
Also my wife is very beautiful in how she is attired, and my daughters are always complemented on the way they look.
Life is good.

I'm glad, because you have a great sense of humor, I like that when people can have some light fun, and not take things too personal.

You never answered my question, how did the man in the picture not match the person you have in the avatar? Who is who? Please explain.

When I wear dresses, they're to the ankle or really close. I don't wear shorts at all. Long pants I'll wear though.
That's just personal preference..I've dressed like that for years and years. Long skirts, or long pants, nothing short.

Re: We're Not Putting X-Mas Trees Up!
Imagine celebrating your birthday on a day you weren't born.
Also that you weren't the one who changed it.
Other people changed it in your honor, and made your birthday after someone who at the time of the changing had a bigger following than you.
To celebrate your birthday everyone did things that had nothing to do with you personally. Also they only focus on the moments that you were born, and some time later when you were about two years old when some magicians came by your house.
Your birthday has had its date changed, borrowed from a more popular individual (who was around way before your birth), and to make matters worse a fat dwarf in red pajamas and a pine tree with jewelry on it now is a reminder of what you represent?
I thought Jesus is about His death, burial and resurrection?
Isn't that celebrated through the water baptism in Jesus name?
Just a thought.
