Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I have a question of standards. I have a linen pants suit that I'm planning on wearing to work tomorrow. I've worn it once since it came from the cleaners, so it's wrinkled, as linen does. I could iron it tonight, but I'm pretty sure it will be exactly as wrinkled as it is now by the time I get to work in the morning, no matter what. I mean, right?
Am I just making lazy excuses?
My grandfather fell out of a tree when he was in his early 80s. He was picking apples in our apple orchard. I was about four and I saw it happen. I laughed.
For years, my older brother gave me shit for laughing.
Also, who fucking wears a shawl when it's 95 fucking degrees out?
It is a nice shawl, though. Purple.
Lazy excuses, Jesse. You need to decide if you care or not and go from there.
I swear I could tell if they were new wrinkles or not, but a) could be full of shit and b) do you really care about my opinion of your ironedness?
Ooh. Phone in my pocket is vibrating.
Jesse, I wouldn't iron. But then, I don't. Iron.
I would also wear the suit, which is probably the pertinent answer. Maybe hang it in the bathroom when you shower for the steamy.
Except, well, he fell. I didn't check to see the last time he'd achieved tree safely, but bully for him at 70 DOING STUPID PHYSICAL THINGS.My dad does these things at 74. Digging out an avocado tree stump last time. Huh, dads and trees...
I swear I could tell if they were new wrinkles or notNote to self: Don't wear linen around ita. She'll know you didn't iron.
Note to self, part 2: Especially because you are saying so in public.
When was your birthday?March.
My father fell out of a tree last week. Don't let your age stop you from trying improbable things.

The tree doesn't fall far from the apple, does it?

Yes, dear.

Yeah, my usual anti-iron tricks don't work for linen. And it just occured to me that I can iron in the newly air-conditioned bedroom, so I guess I'll give it a shot.
I hate two-suit weeks at work.
Apparently he's sworn off climbing trees. And then there's my mother and her exercise bike issue--my god, they're both insane.
I am wearing the coolest krav top. It's so cool that even though I should be off doing laundry I'm here talking about it instead. It's both racerback and halter (ooh! more vibrating!) with two sets of straps going over the shoulders. And it's long--plenty long enough to cover the top of low rise jeans.
WHY DO PEOPLE KEEP GANKING MY TIME??? Okay, not my time exactly. But I have this one friend that's really popular, and I can't spend time alone with him, it seems, since other people continually invite themselves along when we do stuff.
Okay, laundry and Best Buy.
A couple of years ago I called my mom just to chat. In the course of the conversation, she mentioned that my dad had purchased a chainsaw and was going to be climbing the palm tree in the yard and trimming it. I was like, "ARE YOU CRAZY??? I hope Dad isn't too fond of his arm/leg/etc." She hadn't given it a second's thought but she did agree when I said I pictured him doing that like he paints in the house - with a Bud in one hand and the saw in the other.
