Another use for your gloves
I drove my mom's car today with my new gloves and it feels great!
The grip was perfect, not too grippy and not too slippery, made me felt like a pro cus I felt an excellent sense of control over the wheel.
You should try it too!

I wear my old ones when i mow the lawn. That may just be because I'd rather be riding my bike.

I too wear an old pair when mowing the lawn. Then my hands don't tan, just the little circle on the back of my hands.
I also wear them while raking leaves in the fall (my hands aren't tough like a construction worker's).
Yes I actually rake the leaves. Most of my neighbors don't own a rake. They use a blower to clean up the leaves in their yards. They also look "very pregnant". Not a good look for a man!

Is there a store that sells just one glove?
I use my old gloves for everything around the garden: hoeing, digging, mowing, rakeing ...carrying lumber for building projects, swinging a hammer...there are no end of things that old gloves are useful for.

That is a lesson in frustration, trying to find a lost glove. I buy several pair exactly alike so there is always a replacement.

Once in a foreign country while travelling, my Mom gave someone the "ok" sign--making a circle with the thumb and index finger. Their eyes widened and they walked off in a huff. Turns out, "ok" in the U.S. is the same as, "a$$hole" in that country. Remember U.S. President Bush's visit to Australia, when he gave the "victory" sign...backwards!
It's no wonder we Americans have such a negative image...

Do you want to explain for all us brits who use bugger as a rude word
from the nose (usually of a 4 year old). A colloidal suspension
of mucous.
reminds me of going into a shop in South Africa and asking
for a Fanny Pack, which is nothing nothing like the
meaning here in the USA.

I got one that nobody has seemed to mention.
I use one of mine for disc golf, when I play. The grips is amazing.
For anyone who doesn't know: Disc golf is a game that is played like golf but replace the ball, cup, and clubs with a frizbee (disc), and a cage. I've only played a couple times but they have leagues and everything over here.

I wear cheap terry bicycle gloves when mowing lawns. I also use handlebar tape on all of my mowers. This completely eliminates numb hands caused by running a lawn mower for 6 to 10 hours every day (I do this for a living).
BTW- People who frequently operate vibrating machinery (chainsaws, lawn mowers, etc) can end up with PERMANENTLY numb hands caused by damage to a nerve that runs thru the palm of the hand. There is a name for this condition but I forget what it is.
