Just a question: do none of you people have grandmothers?

/em bakes sugar cookies, chocolate chip cookies, praline cookies, spritz cookies, and Snicker surprise cookies FOR EVERYONE!

Yep Feba, this granny sometimes has issues with clothes too. A lot of times the petite clothes are bland so I go to the misses department, where they have more stylish clothes, but the sleeves or pant legs are too damn long. (FYI, I prefer long sleeves or pants for business because I have tattoos.)

Software training materials are teaching people bad posting habits. It all makes sense now.

Re: What's your pet peeve in RL?

I try not to buy new clothes unless the need arises. Why buy a new shirt when I have a perfectly good old shirt?

But when I DO go clothes shopping, it's very easy for me. 5'11", 155 lbs, 31 waist, 32 ish length. Modern clothes were MADE for people with my dimensions.

I just hate jean shopping though, every pair fits differently and I have to try them all on because you can't trust the numbers. Good thing the jeans I own last a long ass time. Brands I tend to buy are Element, AE, Quiksilver, and Bluenotes. All sub $100 jeans that last forever. Although to be honest, I'm in the market for a single pair of designer jeans just to see what the fuss is about. I still don't understand how people can spend $300+ dollars on a single pair of jeans. Maybe I'll change my perspective when I own a pair. Currently looking at Earnest Sewn, William Ras, or 7s.

Le sigh.

Did you know the average male weight in the US is up to 195 lbs and the female weight is 165 lbs? I just read an article about that yesterday. The male weight is up 40 lbs from the 50's, I believe they said. So count yourself among the lucky ones!

Let me save you some money, they aren't worth it. I bought them on occasion (stupid women genes!) and I haven't been impressed. A little tip for you, buy them online (most designers have an online site and I've found the best markdowns online) and at the end of a season. Also look at online coupon sites, you can get free shipping coupon codes or % off coupons sometimes. So start looking mid July or so, you'll be wearing "last seasons" jeans but who gives a rats ass....you'll be saving money!

If you really want a nice pair that fit well, get a custom made pair. You can do this online too and there are several companies that do it. If you live near New York, you have some of the best available to you. THOSE jeans are worth the price and you can even get some in the $150-$200 range. I usually use the money I get for birthday and Christmas to buy myself a pair and I wear the hell out of the for the next year. lol

So count yourself among the ASSHOLES.

Anyway, BOA. I open up one fucking checking account so I can make a wire transfer in another currency (also, Kansas can go fuck itself; seriously, only ONE of the banks around here can handle converting to the third most widely used currency on the globe?), and suddenly they act like I've made my choice in what bank I'm going to use for the rest of my life. The bank itself is like the McDonalds of the financial world, but with touchy feely employees. Felt sick after dealing with them. This is the one where the banker had to ask where Yen was from.

Earlier today, I got an advertisement from them. Something about having "Saving for the unexpected", with a picture of a woman showing a man what is clearly an ultrasound image. The interior said that you can save for the unexpected: "Even twins.".

BOA wants me to buy knocking-someone-up insurance.

Slight TMI alert ...

But when I have to #2 right after I get out of the shower. It's like, "Dammit, I just washed."

You were right.....TMI....

Re: What's your pet peeve in RL?

Oh I showered hours ago. Draw conclusions as you will. That just popped into my head.

Re: What's your pet peeve in RL?

Another peeve today:

Sleepwalking. Apparently I went on a rampage in the kitchen last night. I emptied cabinets and placed all the contents in various places throughout the house but mainly the kitchen (weirdest place was 3 cans of baby corn on the windowsill in the bathroom, labels all facing the same direction...glad to know my OCD keeps going even when I'm sleeping!). I thought I cleaned it all up but when I went to throw the casserole in the oven tonight, I found a can of black olives, a bottle of maple syrup, and a box of Creamettes noodles. Only good thing to come of it was supper. I guess I was dreaming about food last night and during that I came up with a great recipe! lol

Chinese Characters.

And this isn't all of them.

And you thought it was just the Chinese government that was repressive and mentally traumatizing.
