If you wear formal things even once a year I think you should have 2 formal outfits

This....are you allowed to show up in the same formal thing two years in a row? I don't do formal with enough different people. Which is one reason I have so fucking much of it.

Man, we're living in the future. I just worked out how to trigger a torrent download on my laptop from my phone or tablet. If I could work out how get this NAS working, I could have those remotely triggered downloads ready to stream to multiple devices in my home. This is so fucking nifty.

Oh, Scrappy, I'm so very sorry. So much love to you and J and your sweet Laylah.

That game. What a heartstopper. I nearly passed out from jumping up and screaming. I think this calls for a GAD FRADGET FLIB-FLAB BUMPUSSES!

I've been watching stuff On Demand today and the Alcatraz promos do look intriguing.

ita, I think if you know you have a certain formal thing every year with pretty much the same people year-to-year, you need to commit to getting a new outfit every year or having at least a 5-year rotation of outfits.

Scrappy - just saw your Beep Me. I'm so sorry.

Oh, Scrappy, I am so sorry.

My sister sent me an email whose title was the name of the very sick family member we visited last month. I've advised her to put (is not dead) in the title also, because I had a freakout.

Ouch.

The other thing to do is flip your hangers the backwards way. Only flip them back when you wear the thing they are holding. After 3 months look at what is still on backwards hooks. take at least half of it to get rid of. 3 more months, take half again. You will see what you wear and what you do not.

That is a really good idea. I have things that I swear I will wear eventually or wear "sometimes" and I am pretty sure I am lying.

I am slowly but surely getting rid of those things, but Goodwill is just not that convenient to get to, so it's slow.

two good things about the 'burbs: I know of 2 consignment stores nearby and charities will come by and pick up stuff, no matter how much you have, you do not even have to make appointments with you, they leave flyers on your door saying when they will be buy.

I've tried doing the hanger thing, but then I got pregnant and couldn't wear *any* of my regular clothes for almost 2 years. So now I have to basically start over.
