Related: Culture Forums, Support ForumsYour days of (blank) are over. Have medical types or others filled in that blank to your face?
One physician's assistant or whatever said, "Your days of wearing flip flops are over." She also, feeling her oats to *DO* something/anything, changed my years' long prescriptions with fish oil, so trendy, as opposed to anti-(cholesterol/triglicerides? ) drugs. Later my all knowing internet informed me that fish oil adds risk factor for (something or other). She also said about the flip flops, "I like the *look*" - uh, we dudes don't talk "the look".
*** By the bye, an esteemed Lounge-teer also is vociferous on the subject of flip flops, insisting on their being SHOWER SHOES!1
Or what about: "Your days of eating anything you want are OVER!1" - said by my otherwise pliable doctor.

I've rid myself, step by step/slowly I turn, of tons of stuff, been winnowing stuff out, now down to barely NOTHING.
*** One of my cousins is a pharmacist, and his quiet, wryness was to say, "I'm all in favor of DRUGS!1"

(70,778 posts)well, MFM, via Mike Landwher always said...take the drugs!
I think they mostly meant the pain relievers but hey, it still counts.

(55,027 posts)(leather) flip flops for town errands, hiking sandals if working in rocks or stickers or super hot conditions, really cheap plastic slip-ons to get to pool when sidewalk is 1000 degrees.

(26,117 posts)an elderly woman. Her daughter was handling appointments etc for her. The daughter came up and sat down beside her and said your diet has to have less salt, youre going to have to give up bacon. I thought the poor woman was going to cry. She said, but bacon in this real sad voice. Daughter reached over and started patting her moms hand.
