The Semi-Consolidated Leakage Thread again!!!

[Wat_Tyler]

I have found a couple of really good brands of perma-pressed shirts. A pass through the wash and a few spins in the dryer, and on a hanger when they come out still warm (after a shake), and they look pretty damned good.


Which reminds me, I have some pants that need to be starched and pressed in a bad way.


I have two speaking engagements before the end of the month. I guess that I'll just suit up for those . . .


literally . . . .

I've been wearing sports and fishing shirts.



I don't think it is even possible to iron wrinkles into them.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

I prefer the broadcloth Oxford button-down shirts - always have. No starch is nice, too, especially come summer.


They rock with jeans.


Wifebeaters, not tees. Tees are a losing look.


My harem like to sleep in them, too . . . .

[4est_4est_Gump]

My sorts shirts are basically tees, but I will not wear anything that is printed.



I am not a message board or an advertising firm.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

I have a few "message" tees.


I wear tees in the summertime for milling around and working at home. I used to wear them to work, pre-weasel days. Weasels wear collared polo/golf-type shirts. Not my choice, per se, but they'll do.


I use the old Oxford shirts as yardwear, too. I chop off the collars and sleeves, and they rock.


Off to get after the day's commitments . . . .

Every time there is a sale, the Queen buys me clothes...



I have tubs and a closet full of clothes I have never worn.

I have a week's worth of wardrobe that I wear until it wears out and I replace one thing at a time.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

I keep the closet fairly well pruned down. If I haven't worn it in 2-3 years, into the donor bin it goes.


I have had a couple of (woman) friends who have felt the need to buy me presents for Xmas/b-day without reason, i.e. g/f, friends with bennies, et cetera. That kinda shit makes me snarl the second time it happens, because they didn't listen to me the first time when I told them not to do it again.


And they think they know what they're buying for, but they always miss.


So, moral of the story is, let me do my own fucking shopping to dress myself.

[4est_4est_Gump]

I feel you.



This is why I am in the business of gift cards...

 

[Wat_Tyler]

If it's a woman I am close to, I have good enough taste in jewelry to be able to find something that will be appropriate.


Clothing is right out.


There are better mistakes to make than buying something st000pid, like an appliance, for a significant other's significant date.


And forgetting is dumbest of all . . . .

[4est_4est_Gump]

I put a ring in a toaster oven and wrapped it up.



The Queen was so pissed when she saw the oven that I thought she would never even find the ring...

 

[Wat_Tyler]

My father never got gift-giving right for Mom.


He was a wonderful cautionary tale.


Happy Sunday!!!I have coffee and a happy kitteh, and life is simple at the moment.


I conducted an interview for a new lady-friend at the conference yesterday. We're texting. It's a start . . . .

[4est_4est_Gump]

Yeah, the ice keeps passing to the north of us, so it is a good Sunday!


The coffee is good and the devil dogs are sleeping.

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

No sooner did I hit submit, big stupid woke up and demanded to be let out where she is no furiously barking at nothing and everything...

 

[Wat_Tyler]

I still have this bit of roof work to do, and the weather is still not cooperating.


Pronounce the first four letters like a place to keep chickens, and I will resonate in your mind.


The cat is pacing the house. He must have plans-n-designs and someone isn't . . . cooperating with him, either.


I just figured out that he's pushing 11 now. He sure does seem younger than that.

[4est_4est_Gump]

Yeah, it's about time for me to free the chickens from the coop...

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

77 in dog years, but I don't know what a cat year is...

 

[Wat_Tyler]

I don't know that the human/critter year conversion is much more than hoss shit.


A healthy indoor cat can live to be 20. Mom has one who will be 19 in a couple of months, and her "baby" just turned 13.


My old ones have died off and I just have the one, so I need a refill.


Allah will send cats to my door when it's time . . . .

[4est_4est_Gump]

Yeah, I'm beginning to wonder how long I'm going to be stuck with the devil dogs...

 

[Wat_Tyler]

I'm not sure how long those little fuckers live, and I'm too trifling to Google to find out.


I had decided to rescue a long-hair once, but he got away.


My life is a tad simpler because of that.


Allah is merciful . . . .

[Saint Peter]

nice pans

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

I'm thinking it's under 20...



We'll see.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

It won't be more than close to freezing for days.


I may get some more of this roof stuff done next weekend.


I hope.

[4est_4est_Gump]

My big goal today is grocery shopping...


Man, having a few days off is such a wonderful thing. It's too wet to work outside.

That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

I'ma do some laundry and some re-arranging-n-cleaning of the bedroom.


If I don't do it, no one will, so . . . .
