Maybe not the right description, I just meant to distinguish between "these floors are 100 years old" and "this is my old house, called old because I no longer live there".

In my house, we normally don't wear shoes/slippers inside, but IF we do they're not the same ones for outdoor wear. At my kid's preschool they had to have "inside shoes" (I think so they has less worries about the kids getting their feet injured while also not having mud tracked through the classroom). We'll sometimes wear slippers for the warmth, but generally it's bare feet inside.

Oooh, replace all our inside shoes/slippers with something just noisy enough they can't sneak up on me, but ideally not so noisy that it makes me want to tear my hair out when my husband is pacing around.

Our old (both literally and figuratively old) house had lots of squeaks. My husband loves that our new place doesn't.
I kinda want my anti ninja floors back so I don't accidently poke someone in the eye with a fork because they snuck up on me.

Oh, like the various religious groups around the world are so well known for even following their own definitions of morality consistently?
