Advice from Old PeopleSometimes, just sometimes, old people say something worth listening to. Ok, so it's like picking the needle out of a whole haystack of mis-remembered war stories, but those gems should be celebrated.
Tell us something worthwhile an old-type person has told you.
Note, we're leaving the definition of old up to you, you smooth-skinned youngsters.

I didnt realize that there were hygiene issues associated with it (what happened to good old washing of ourselves rather than out bedclothes?) but I've never understood the supposed taboo to sleeping naked, why not? Who could ever see or know? And if you can't feel comfortable in your own bed, even without a partner net to you, then where can you feel comfortable?
