They’re short pants if they’re not past my ankles, I don’t care what they’re called but I rarely find the length I actually want. :/

Also I have assumed they were “petal pushers” for forever... and figured ‘it must be what gardeners wear’... wow. A piece of me just died.

Ughhh. I live in a place where there’s like 2 months max of short-appropriate weather, so it’s not a huge part of my life. Bless you and your ability to withstand such heat.

That’s fair, it just feels weird to me. I have fat thighs so I’m usually more comfortable covering them.

Truth be told, I’m incredibly lazy about clothes shopping so I haven’t gone to great lengths ... more recently I’ve been looking at online stores and the ones I frequent tend to be capris or tiny shorts. There’s rarely a middle ground. I know I need to look harder.

If not we should be.

Ahahahahaaa, excellent descriptor. And yep, totally agreed. Want to wear them? Go ahead, but I don’t feel like shaving above my knees every time I want to wear not-jeans... so give me a freakin’ option that doesn’t have my ladynards under threat of exposure when I bend over to retrieve a heads up penny.

This may be true, but I’m a slacker so I’ll be sitting home on Saturday night, in boxers and drinking butterscotch root beer.

Slacks and heels — the bane of my existence. Jeans and sneakers forever.

Please tell me that photo is manipulated because Maisie looks like a giant next to him.

I literally own one pair of shorts and they are army green “asking for it” length.

Everything else I own that are “shorts” are actually Super Mario boxers. I wear jeans in the summer because of... of course... a work imposed dress code and I don’t do “slacks”.

While this is Appleton West — I had students from Appleton North volunteer for my previous job once and many of the girls showed up on a hot-as-hell day in long pants while boys wore basketball shorts. It’s a fucked policy. Good for this girl for taking it further.

If I could FIND shorts that were “old fashioned” or “prude” I’d be SO happy. I can only find “tease” or “asking for it”.

I got my husband’s female best friend from high school (who I know and like). My husband posted this and it says me, but he confided in me later that first he got his brother, then the same best friend I had, and then me. Bless his heart for wanting the facebook world to think I was his soul mate (clearly I didn’t…

Did she do this on her 3DS? Because with Animal Crossing WiiU being a board game, she won’t be able to mail her future self on that.

As fucked up and wrong as this situation is, it’s more entertaining than any soap opera, ever.

This makes getting out of my teacher’s SUV in the hotel parking lot and helping my best friend not trip on her stupid long dress WAY less exciting.

Why is this not DLC for Mario Party 10?

Thank you! Argh.

What a lovely and real take on this situation. I hope all goes well for Garrett and that you have the most lovely wedding you can imagine. You both deserve it. A relative of mine was recently diagnosed with a terminal illness, and luckily he has a close knit and large family to rely on. I can’t imagine how people…

First off, good luck with the process!

Second, that’s the info we’re probably missing out on. If she signed something — I wonder under what terms it was, and why she was preserving them in the first place. If there’s some chunk of info like this — one that specifically states she doesn’t want them used in the event of…
