Well, Archie was right. You would look like a total imbecile if your house was on fire and you had to run outside with one foot bare and the other foot in a shoe because you got interrupted putting them on.

No way. Sock/shoe, sock/shoe. You can't let your sock get dirty before it goes in the shoe. My socked foot absolutely does not touch the ground before it goes in the shoe.

Maybe you need to clean the floor.

If in a shoe box, anyone knows to ask Al Bundy for flat footed advise.

It is a utility. Outstanding back dividends may be available. Ask PEPCO's investor services department for outstanding dividends, possible (unlikely) stock splits, and alternative options. They might even have a stock buyback plan. There should have been a dividend check four times annually.

It is a publically traded stock. Is traded through a stock broker. Consult a discount broker (Ameritrade, E-Trade, ScottTrade, etc) to setup an account. However the stock's value will probably have to exceed $500. You did not provide numbers or date. As a utility, current value may be less than it was a decade ago but more than it was in 2008.

You are out of your ever-lovin mind sir.

Yeah, I'm weird that way. In the middle of the day I can take off my shoes and walk around in my socks, and then put my shoes back on. But the first time of the day, or right after a shower, I'm a little OCD.

Spex I had to reread your post to check you weren't Flint (no offence, but Flint has some opinions on hygeine that I think are pretty OCD).

Still, you admitted it.

But honestly, you put your shoes on UPSTAIRS?!
I pad about in bare feet until I'm ready to go out.
Mum doesn't like it, apparently it marks the floors (sheesh!) but even she admits it's better than me tramping dirt around the place from my shoes.

Oh and we've rowed about my preference for bare feet over slippers since I can remember. I used to say I couldn't find them, which led to the classic childhood line of "If I find them I'll smack you with them!" which always, mysteriously, led to their appearance.

I work at a hospital, dear. I'm not doing this stuff for no good reason.
