I thought I had done this, so I got up to check on the grandkids, visited a while and came back to see "there is an error..." I'm very slow.

Aww, in 2015, I went to check on my boys. They're too big now, they don't come to spend the night anymore. sniff

Mr. Wilde seemed to prefer ascots.

I'm thinking it's a well-tied shoelace you need for that first step so you won't trip.

It was about some Target employees, teaching a young man, applying for his first job, how to tie a tie. I don't know why the video disappeared , but while I looked for it, I saw that he got the job.

After my husband retired from the Air Force. He had a job at a state prison. He was expected to wear a tie everyday. Over the years we bought tons of beautiful ties. The inmates called him the tie man. Then the powers that be decided ties weren't necessarry anymore. I tell him we should sell some of the more expensive ones on e-bay.

Our 8th grade teacher required all the boys to wear ties. My father taught me how to tie them. Hated that teacher but learned a lot about life from him; we were the only boys in school required to wear ties. You can imagine how popular that made us! NOT.
