    This is a little different but that’s what we do at our club because there would be no way to avoid it

    That's a little too free spirited for me. Besides, all the crazy shit happening these days, that's bringing unnecessary attention, in my opinion.

    Thanks for the feedback and I agree “shocking people” doesn’t help our movement. Our club manager also welcomes visitors in a similar way. My wife does greet them some covering if we don’t know them

    Scheduled my AC maintence today and he’s been doing it for awhile and knows were nudists. He actually asked me today if we mind putting on something for the tune up because he’s training someone or if I just wanted to reschedule. I asked him what worked best and he said it didn’t matter to him. Ironically his final decision was to do the service himself as usual. The funny part he said was I wasn’t the only one. I was surprised by the comment.

    I usually let them know if it's an appointment. If they show up to the door, I just say, "Hope you don't mind, I don't wear clothes because I'm a nudist."

    I have an old house, so it seems like there's always someone doing repairs. I'm a larger woman, so I get a lot of stares. That's the beauty of this lifestyle, though. I don't have to hide.

    Being a carpenter/electrician and working for many different people’s homes, I’ve never had anyone ask. It wouldn’t bother me though.....heck I might even do the repair sans clothes. Provided the homeowner was ok with it of course.

    That reminded me or the day that I was sans safety boots on a late night power failure call (rare to hear a Latin quote on HF).
    I had a routine visit from the safety inspector and when he started making a fuss, I just pointed out that we were only outside because the woman would not allow him into her house with his boots on. Needless to say, he was a bit lost for words and just muttered something before heading off to annoy someone else at 2am in the morning.

    "sans" is French, Latin would be "sine"
    Sorry for being annoying.

    You have really surprised me that I have been living with this misconception for 55 year.
    I was told that it was Latin, when reading the 7 ages of man at college.
    What puzzles me is why Shakespeare, who is regarded as one of the masters of the English language, used a French word as an adjective..

    Thank you. It is conversations like this that make HF a somewhat unique and very interesting site to spend some time on.
    As an engineer and partly qualified doctor, in common with most people in the UK, I never had the urge to learn a second language, probably because their were too many to choose from.
    From my very limited knowledge of French, one thing has always puzzled me about placing adjectives before or after a noun. Why would I say, voiture bleue, but reverse the order in sans dents, is it somehow connected to common and proper nouns.
    You have also reminded me to see my dentist, or I will be sans dents soon.


    Last scene of all,
    That ends this strange eventful history,
    Is second childishness and mere oblivion,
    Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything. :worried::worried::worried:

    "Without" is a preposition, not an adjective. But common adjectives do go before the noun in French, so you'd say "Dents blanches" (white teeth) but "Grandes dents" (big teeth).

    95% of the time I do my own work. The last time I had a contractor or service person in was three years ago when I had a new roof put on the house. It was just a little more then I wanted to tackle at the time.
