Also socks! Socks should be sized better. I have an awesome pair of black smartwool calf socks. But the length of the foot part is too long, so the grey square for the heel shows outside of my shoes. It wouldn't be so noticeable except that everything else I have on is black.

I mean, wearing the black socks is supposed to be an improvement on my appearance from the all black with white socks standard look which seems to end up excessively Blues Brothers looking.

I love smartwool, though, I must say.

I'm looking out my office window at Seabiscuit and he's leaning forlornly up against the kennel fence. He just had a visit from a free range doggie buddy of his, and now he's sighing over the injustice of it all that he's not free to go off romping with him.

Should I go get him and bring him in and feed us both?

Y'all are cracking me up.

A adore smartwool, though I wish they were more durable. When I'm rich I'll wear their tights and long underwear. They do have sized socks, though. Maybe you got the wrong size.

I just want sizes to be defined by measurements so I would always know if a size L will fit a 40" bust/33" waist.

Buying vintage on eBay was frustrating and satisfying at the same time. It was sad to see dresses I just had to ignore, but since I was going off of measurements not sizes, what I got fit like a dream.

This is possible. I have others from them that fit, so maybe this one is just wrong. It's very annoying, though, but doesn't stop me from wearing them. I just try to do it with boots. Agree that they could be more durable.

Tangentially related to clothing sizes, Monday was my first time back to the gym after over 3 1/2 weeks of being really sick (with a respiratory infection, there was no way I could work out). And yesterday was my second time back.

My hips are sore, and my shoulders are none too happy at me, either.

I don't know how to tell them we're going back tomorrow.

And that's what you'll tell the cops! "But I only stabbed her a little. Is that even a crime!?! "

No, I'm going to tell them I was with Dana! We have been over this...

That's awesome. Someone I'm facebook friends with was promoting some thing where they are collecting supplies and stuff, and I had to say I thought it was a terrible idea. You know why? Because people will give away crap and think they are helping. Effing people. Just send money! Let the agencies buy what they need, when they need it!
