Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
They aren't that old -- metal, not wood, but still. I'm glad I looked -- I keep the blinds down all the time in my bedroom, so what was in my mind was drafts, not an open window!

NewsFlash - my lack of interest in working that filled my being yesterday? Not gone. I really need to win the lotto so I can stop this work stuff.
ION - I am anticipating having to cut someone before the day is over. The guy who dropped trash on the subway almost got it, but I restrained...a bit.

What is this spot, exactly, that you can burn to death and drown in the same place?
The Cuyahoga River?
That will NEVER stop being funny. At least to Cincinnatians.
Does the term "underwear" include the bra?
For me, no. "Underwear" = "panties" = "underpants."
Does "undergarment"?
As a plural ("undergarments"), I use it to mean whatever bra/panties/slip/girdle/etc. a woman might be wearing.

I totally agree with Hil regarding the complex connotations of underwear. I think I'd use undergarments if I were talking about the industry. Like she works for an undergarments manufacturer or that can be found in the undergarments department. In my world undergarments is more apt to be a plural word.
I do love the earrings. But I would never wear them as I deal with grabby hands.

Now tagless for your comfort.
For me underwear=anything you wear under your clothes. I also like the term "foundation garments."
I need to get ready for yoga class this morning.

ita, you really had to go and confuse me with the underwear vs. undergarments question! I got all internally confused until JenP said her mother used underclothes to mean all of it. I grew up using underwear = underpants, and the all inclusive was underclothes. But, now I don't know what I use currently. I never think about it! Why do you have to make me think so hard?

Note: I don't actually use the term "undergarments," but *if* I did, it would refer to the collective bunch of what you wear under your clothes.

I had to stop myself from pulling over this morning around the corner from my house to give the business to some asshole who dropped trash out of his McDonald's bag onto the ground. I'm so freaking sick of fast food trash in my neighborhood!
