Exactly! We have separate cover piles. He doesn’t use the bottom sheet, only a duvet, but i do. We both wash our burritos on our own timeline.

Oh gods i didn’t need to hear that. I don’t have an inhaler because the Dr wanted to try a few other things first. But every time i work out i have a 10 minute period of panic and inability to breathe, with intense wheezing and tightness in my chest. I have a follow up appointment Friday and i’m praying she’ll give…

I still have nightmares about living in Malaysia as a kid and no public restrooms. My parents wouldn’t let me just pee by the side of the road, which would have been perfectly natural in our home state of Michigan. One road trip i had to hold it for 6 hours while crammed in a Volkswagon Rabbit with 6 adults on windy…

OMG this. I just was told 3 months ago i have asthma. I work on the 4th floor but many of my instruments are on floors 1 and 2. I log 8K-11K steps per day. And yet, i am still winded each and every time i go up those damn stairs. The first one of the day always causes me to wheeze and i have no idea how to make it…

I can’t even imagine the amount of work that would be for someone like me. I burrito inside the comforter, but i have to have my feet uncovered. The bottom sheet adheres to the cotton back of the comforter and moves with it just fine. A top sheet would just slide off the shiny material of the fancy side of the…

I hate buying things about as much as i hate going to stores, so no. No giddiness at all. In fact, a sense of loathing and hatred for humans, myself, solid objects, my home, weather, and linear time ;)

Situation specific. I need to patch my drywall and i’ve been putting it off for a few months now. But until i buy new drywall, some joint compound, and some tape, it’s TOTALLY not getting done. Because when i finally have the time to address it, i will not be in the mood to leave the house and interact with humans…

My thigh pockets do have flat knife inserts in about half of my BDUs, but not all of them. The EMTs are more likely to have inserts as well. Normal cargo pants i’ve found rarely have the inserts.

Maybe we’re speaking at odds here. Working around a pair of trousers from the back top:

Rear pockets: on the ass. Also…

That’s the rear pocket (possibly the butt or ass pocket?). Hip = the one over the iliac crest, where you put your hands normally?

At least on me, it’s right on my hip, but i wear my trousers super low, like 3" below my natural waist. What do normal people call that pocket?

I like the cut of your jib, sir or madam!

My docs used to be my go-to shoe for everything, including job interviews, dates, dancing, and customer visits. Sadly i lost a full shoe size recently and i gave them all away since i just couldn’t make them work anymore. It’s okay, i found the best pair of combat boots in the world to replace them.

I still miss the…

I got on at Goodwill 2 years ago for $15 and i’m kicking myself for never having done so before. SO versatile yet so warm!

I adored Danskos for years, until they gave me major bone spurs on top of both feet. Womp womp.

But i still recommend them HIGHLY to anyone who will listen :)

I spent $75 to resole mine. I had to ship them from NY to CA (they paid for that) and was without them for about 3 weeks. (Longest 3 weeks of my adult life. I had to time it in between major events like parades, goth night, hiking trips, etc.)

I found the place simply by googling and then reading very carefully the…

I bought perhaps 10 years ago now a pair of used Wellco combat boots (for $10. TEN. DOLLARS). They haven’t been made since the mid 80s apparently? So these are approximately 30 years old, minimum.

Last year i had them re-soled and i fully believe they will last another 30 years. They are by far the best shoe i’ve…

The website is blocked at work because it’s considered “guns and weapons” but lapolicegear.com sells their factory seconds at a deep discount. BDU and EMT trousers run $15-25 on sale, and i think no more than $50 normally though i’ve never bought a pair at full price.

Anyway, i own 12 pairs of BDUs and EMTs in…

Plane ticket to GA for Veteran’s Day already purchased in August.

Well i’m screwed. Our 6 week off season just ended, and while i don’t think i gained any weight i certainly am not as fit as i was before it started. (Yes, i went to the gym but no, it’s not nearly as intense as an actual practice.)

I normally lose the most weight between September and January, when we have the most…

I am one of those jerks that doesn’t know what exactly Manfriend has planned for meals for the week so i’ll often inadvertently dip into the wrong food. He also does the grocery shopping, so when i need to pack a lunch or make breakfast it’s like winning the lottery. “Ooh! Cheese! Ooh! Noodles!”

The upside of all…

I doubt this will even place, but my best friend and i in high school worked at the only diner in town. Heck, the only non-bar restaurant in our 4000 person town.

Anyway, one night a patron’s colostomy bag exploded in the men’s room, and the two of us had to clean it up.
