spndnchz Posted October 19, 2017 Report Share Posted October 19, 2017 I'm stuck in business casual hell for my job. I can't afford suits anyway, but there's no reason for me to wear one, so thankfully I'm not burdened with that. But I do like to wear a button-down and nice pants. The cost is just astounding for clothing that doesn't even end up fitting me that well. I ended up at Savers in Tonawanda last night and scored two nice Lands End shirts that were exactly my size, tall and fitted. And a Brooks Brothers shirt. And an LL Bean shirt. All for $30. One tailored shirt would cost me more than that if I was buying new. No men's clothing looks good enough to cost what it does new. It all sucks. Makes me miss the factories. Two pairs of jeans and some crappy shirts were enough to get me through a year or two of work. You should try TJ Maxx or Marshals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darksabre Posted October 19, 2017 Report Share Posted October 19, 2017 You should try TJ Maxx or Marshals. The Marshals here kinda sucks. I've never been in a TJ Maxx though. I suppose I could give that a look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josie Posted October 19, 2017 Report Share Posted October 19, 2017 The Marshals here kinda sucks. I've never been in a TJ Maxx though. I suppose I could give that a look. Come with me on a trip to Rochester to the magical Marshalls of Pittsford. Seriously. I've been to a lot of Marshalls/TJ Maxx's and the rich folks out there have the best freakin' one ever. It's on another level. Spandex should be banned, except for Freddie, of course. :flirt: I mean, I agree, I feel for the people who have to see me in it, but I haven't got a choice :/ I hate that I've become one of those women who leaves the house in spandex yoga pants. Just takes too much time to change in our one tiny single bathroom and then rig equipment and check people in etc etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Splurged on a bunch of new business casual last year that has mostly stayed in the closet because I started working mostly from home a few months later. I type this in a ratty pair of shorts and an old Bills hoody. It's wonderfully comfortable, but I've got to watch myself because I am starting to unthinkingly go out in my usual "work clothes," pay less attention to my hair and have too many days where I skip the shave.

Everyone of them brought me to near death experiences from "outbreaks". 20 years later and I still firmly believe that place is a secret government bio weapons testing program.

darksabre Posted October 21, 2017 Report Share Posted October 21, 2017 My parents flat out refused to allow us anywhere near a Chuck e cheese when we were kids. I still have no problem with that decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eleven Posted October 21, 2017 Report Share Posted October 21, 2017 I never have been in one. I'm guessing the pizza is crappy and there's just a bunch of kids running around like rats on 34th street? Like lasertron? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing the pizza is crappy and there's just a bunch of kids running around like rats on 34th street? Like lasertron? Pretty much this. I made it out alive. Not as bad as I thought it would be. One thing did disturb me, and not in a “why are they doing this” sort of way, but a “why is humanity such utter garbage that they have to do this” sort of way. They have 1 entrance/exit point. Dudes posted each way. Going in you and any children with you get an invisible stamp on your arm. It’s a number sequence, and they change it every time. Coming out you and the kids have to put your arm under a blacklight to make sure the stamps match and you’re leaving with the same kids you showed up with. Smart, but makes me very sad for some reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwampD Posted October 22, 2017 Report Share Posted October 22, 2017 I hate touch screens. iPhones and iPads can go screw. Give me a laptop or desktop with a keyboard and mouse or trackball or trackpad any day. Why do I want to look at stuff through a tiny greasy dirty screen?

Today's random: About once a decade, you get it caught in your zipper, you know? And then you're like extra careful for the next nine years or so. Then you start to slip up. I officially have another decade to go, now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dudacek Posted October 22, 2017 Report Share Posted October 22, 2017 (edited) Off with a friend this afternoon to mill a 14-foot slab of maple that I am going to turn into two live-edge countertops to cap off my renovation.

I post this because it is both true and so out of left field to who I really am. What is this live edge countertop you speak of? I have about 10' of 2" thick black walnut, about 20" wide in my garage. It has been drying for a decade, waiting for something to do with it.
