I used to have some pretty ones when we lived in England, but I suspect my standards were lower then. Those cuddliduds -- don't even look like undies. I'd wear that shit out.

Do they sell thermal vests in normal department stores? I don't remember having seen them, but lingerie sections make me extra-hivey. I figure army surplus is a good place to start, though.

I'm not sure if he'll want to endure the 7 hour road trip necessary to see the obvious gay date movie

I'd think that would make for a very depressing date movie.

ita, all the Cuddl Duds I have were bought in department stores. And while they look good compared to most thermals, up close they don't quite look like outerwear.

Dude, it just hit me, you live in LA. Why in the hell are you asking about thermal underwear?

And I'll tell you, Army thermals are the ugliest bastards ever. Brother and SIL had sets that they adored for warmth, but for godsake, they were the most hideous things ever. Barf on barf brown that pilled if you looked at it, fergawdsake. Screw Macedonia cold, those things were vile.

hey! it gets cold in LA!

Saint Anthony, Saint Anthony please come around. Something is lost and cannot be found.

What is lost? My GODDAMN HOUSE KEYS.

ETA: as ever, St. Anthony kicks ASS and finds my keys.

And when you want to keep wearing your high 70s clothes in the high 60s, well, thermals are the deal.

But I'd wear thermals for the air conditioning protection alone, never mind the undie coverage.

Yeah, below freezing for 5 hours, you freaking freaks.

Kat! You need to put beef jerky on your keychain and then Kuma'd find it. Hey, what do you think of kidnapping me for xmas next year?

I'm realizing today was a day of Barf. Some feline barfed on both the new comforter (luckily covered, so just one more fucking thing to wash, not a brand new comforter) and the futon cover. Stupid pukey cats. (And now I'm all freaked that it is Mister Kitty due to his diabetes escalating and NO. The cats are 9 and 12 and that makes them ancient and NO. They're my buddies forever.)

But I really have to get more quarters tomorrow and see my departing friend.

This desert girlie doesn't put on her monster coat until 50. Wussy hotweather people.

I support people wearing whatever they have to wear to feel comfortable.

That said? Wusses!!

PS: Kat, you crack me up.

Surely you don't wear the same clothes over the 50-70 range, though.

Wussy hotweather people.

Ah, fuck the cold. I did Montreal winters. I did them cheerily. I'm so over that.

Oh, and kudos to Matt for interpreting the difference between "I'm busy this weekend," and "I'll be busy forever."
