Jammies are an unloaded gift unless it is already a loaded relationship. And? Jammies are some of the best things ever. Soft and lovely jammies - good.

Construction going on in the apt next door. Or cleanup? Something terribly loud and crashy. It's not pairing well with my headache. Though jammies might pair better than most other things now that I think about it. Thanks, Allyson. Your question might have just improved my afternoon as well.

Go jammies, choose jammies.

with. I realized that a muffaletta without the olive salad is just a salami and cheese sandwich. still tasty, but not a muffaletta.

We really don't want to do this again do we.

What am I saying, of course we do.

Also, comfy pajamas are the perfect gift for anyone, including blinvisible internet friends.

I'm intimidated by one very large task: book a holiday party for 450 people on a maximum budget of $10000 somewhere in SF, including food & 2 drink tickets. Preferably in Fisherman's Wharf.

Pulling some numbers out of my ass:

Suppose you allow 16 bucks a piece for dinner and drinks.

That leaves you $2,800 rental and decorations, and I guess all other expenses.

You do need advice from someone like Allyson who used to do this sort of thing for a living. But it seems doable, albeit you may need to go the simple hot n hearty route (which given that it is cool weather season coming up should be no hardship for the guests.)

Hooray for jammies with no social stigma!

I just watched "Time To Murder and Create" (Wire In The Blood). The story was itchily familiar. A dom is luring girls to him over the internet and imprisoning them in a lavishly fashioned room in the middle of nowhere. When the encounter turns sour, he kills them. But I know I haven't seen this ep before. Does that plot sound like it was used elsewhere?

Oh?? Hey, Matt... Need a beardtastic date?

Nah, I have decided that watching a distant black speck that is theoretically Elvira and hearing her alleged voice over the static of loudspeakers is not that appealing.

My friend Nathan says it's a weird (loaded) gift.

I agree. Pajamas are great gifts for relatives, galpals, and kids, but it sends an odd message to an unrelated adult male.

If a good male friend gave me unsexy jammies, I'd not think anything of it.

But I have platonically given boxers, including silk. We just knew it wasn't a sex thing.

Suppose you allow 16 bucks a piece for dinner and drinks

At Fisherman's Wharf, during the holiday season? Dicey. Depends on what the food is, I guess, and how long you need the place.

I think I'm with Nathan and Matt on this, in general, but I also think it just depends on the friendship.

Allyson, would your mind, even for a second, get a teeeny bit weirded if this person gave you jammies? That's probably the best way to decide.

Yeah, I'd say no silk, but otherwise fine.
