I'm-Just-Too-Damn-Lazy-To-Iron excuseI combine this with the "Ouch, I burn myself if I try to iron" reasoning.
Works wonders.
I pay the dry cleaner to take the risks for me.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Milky sweet tea is medicine for what ails you. Step off.
Oy. I went to Robinson's May a couple weeks ago. I think I hate that store. I did end up with a linen/nylon dusky rose trenchcoat for $60, but still. It was the stress.

But cold/iced tea? It's like flat soda and just too sweet for me.

Sweet tea is just right and necessary in heat & humidity and no wind.
Well, except that it now exceeds my daily caffeine limit, so I don't drink it anymore.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
juleps are good for hot and muggy weather, but I'm not allowed to have them anymore

I've been making iced herb teas (Rose Hips & Lemon Zinger, so far) for the past couple of weeks and loving them. In Texas there are battle lines drawn around the sweet and no sweet iced tea camps. Hot tea can be sweet, I guess, but not iced tea, not ever. (This, by the way is one of the big giveaways, that I am not a real Southerner).
Also, I will NOT step off. Right Exactly Now, I am stepping on. SO there.

Yeah, but you're stepping on the "some tea can be sweet" train, so it's all good.

Where would I be likely to find adhesive-faced magnetic sheets by the foot in person? (I've found a couple of places online, but I'd rather not pay for shipping if I can avoid it.)
Would a hardware store stock that sort of thing? Or a crafts store, maybe?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Jessica, maybe a crafts store. If you're ever around the greater Union Square area, I'd try the art/craft/card/etc store between 18th and 19th, between 5th and 6th. I don't think they really have a name other than like Paper Something Something. They generally have any crazy thing I need. (Ex: the other day I got wired ribbon, blue permanent markers, and popsicle sticks.)
