The whole crew probably didn’t know. The guys know who’s likely to be sympathetic and who’s not, and the guys who would not be just wouldn’t get told. Too much risk of being reported. It’s not like the whole crew hangs out together, there’s all sorts of cliques and groups. The scumbag single drunk guys don’t spend…

Yes, because now we HAVE to in order to survive. When we had no competition, you’d take what we gave you and like it. The cluephone is ringing at LB HQ, and although they haven’t picked up yet, at least they can hear the ring.

I buy a lot of t-shirts from Woman Within because I can get them in tons of colors, with a v-neck and 3/4 or long sleeves. Sometimes the quality is uneven but they’re cheap and so I don’t feel bad buying a handful a couple of times a year. The ones that pill or wear out become lounge- or sleepwear.

I’m 52 and buy jeans at Torrid, if that makes you feel any better. I try to steer away from the obviously not age appropriate ones, but I’ve even gotten some of those because they FIT. My 24-YO daughter persuaded me to look because the last time I had been in a Torrid was with her when she was a teenager.

Oh, yes! I used to put iron-on patches on the inside of the thighs my new jeans to reinforce them because I knew they were gonna wear out there long before the rest even got broken in. But, shit, lately all the jeans I’m finding that fit and I can afford (hint: <$100) are so thin the patches show.

Taking notes... I’m in grad school now, but before too long I’ll be starting to see clients and need to upgrade my wardrobe. My previous stuff was fine when I worked in a gas station but NSM for a job where my hands won’t get dirty.

I will gladly share any income it generates. Can you still cut pennies in half with scissors?

Do you not wear socks because they just have too many moving parts to cope with?

Yeah, but, see, Waffle House doesn’t want to set a precedent or else all their servers will try to get themselves killed on duty so they can get a sweet free funeral, too.

If it was me, I’d be sitting there simultaneously trying not to breathe and also continuously mumbling an invisibility charm under my breath.

Our first PC had a 20 MB hard drive and when we upgrade that to 80 MBs we wondered what we could possibly do with all that space.

It might be a generic gift, but my son-in-law has been pining for a decent set of barbecue tools, so that’s one gift I can check off my list.

“Let the Day Begin” by the Call is my go-to.

Someone take the shovel away from this idiot before he hurts himself.

I heard it as “Gen. Wastemoremen” but same idea.

Your idea of the “call is coming from inside the house moment” needs to be a thing. That is the perfect description.

Does anybody know where I can get tweed sheets? That’s the only hope I have of matching most of our herd.

I worked at Borders too, but managed to spend little time in the kids’ section. (I pulled rank, since I had young kids at home.) Still, I’d have paid good money to watch that woman get tossed into the cop car. We had way too many of those types in our store, and we were a freestanding location with just a KMart next…

You left out wealthy. My husband and I are lily-white but we’ll never be able to afford to live in University Park.

Had my last midterm just a few hours ago, in fact.
