Yeah, paying that much for a night indoors clothing is crazy, I think.

I think I have 15 shirts that were turned into pajamas. Not using all of them, but if it's a shirt that's a little bit big on me and I still think I can wear, it'll turn into pajamas.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Again, unexpected economic advantages of not bothering with nightclothes.

True dat, but don't forget I live in earthquake country! I also use Pajamas for my inside pants, so I get my money's worth.

Our wings are not tired.

MIL is always giving me lovely sexy night clothes, and yet I wear tank tops and gym shorts, or flannel pants.

Great jammies, Scrappy. You need to come to the F2F and we'll have a pajama party!

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Yeah my pj are "inside pants" too. I only wear pants to bed if I have a houseguest.

True, I keep forgetting that people may knock on the door when I'm lounging about in my preferred at-home "attire." I need a quick-to-pull-on caftan.

I am like unto connie WRT sleep(non)wear, but I always do make sure I have one of my tee-shirt-like but much longer lounging things nearby to throw in in case of emergency. I love them, actually - they're t-shirts, but below the knees. So comfy.

If you can't see them let me know.

I can smell the chlorine.

I don't think there's a problem with advocating good health as a personal virtue. In fact, I support that notion. It is virtuous. It's better for you, and it's better for the society. If smoking had been banned in offices decades ago there would've been hundreds of thousands of fewer deaths by second hand smoke. I think banning smoking in bars and restaurants similarly spares restaurant workers.

I'm not convinced there's a direct correlation between advocating health (and I have a hard time seeing why anybody would think that's a bad idea), and the culture of shame and judgment about obesity. Or even non-skinniness.

It may give some people a place of smug superiority upon which to rest their judgments, but people are weird about culturally derived notions of beauty. Fair skin used to be in, then tans, now fake tans. Different body shapes and types have been in vogue in different eras and cultures. There's always going to be some hierarchy of culturally derived desirability.
