Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Hil, if you're still on the lookout for a menorah, Apartment Therapy has a nice roundup:
Thanks. I think I'm going to wait until I can go to an actual store, though -- I've had a few too many experiences of buying Judaica stuff on the internet where the object delivered looked really different from the photo.
Oh, speaking of hose! I had a stroke of genius at Target. I'm always looking at the tights for sale, and know that the M/T size probably won't quite fit me (I am definitely NOT medium), but it didn't occur to me until now to just go up a size! I am so happy in the 1X/2X size right now, I don't even know. Do other people have this feeling all the time? That your tights are big enough? It's amazing.
No, I almost never have that feeling that my tights are big enough. Signed, they mostly do not make tall sizes and going up a size does not help.
Mostly I feel that the 1x/2x size it too tall! I have to fold it on my thighs!
I swear, this is magic. Mine are always too short (although not as much too short as yours, I'm sure....), and going up a size fixed it! I guess we'll see what happens when I wash them, but I may have found the promised land.
not too many tights can get over these hips.
So maybe I am the only person that has a pair of tights that fit right now??
Is there a simpler way to tidily fasten the back than attaching a snap fastener, but with the end rolled over and stitched down so you can't see it?
Sophia must know the answer to this, but I'm going to say glue, assuming you won't want to use the ribbon again.
My tights fit--the normal ones. The compression tights--I don't believe they fit anyone. Like, I want to be able to put them on so I can get compressed, but yikes. My mother is entirely paranoid about edema (I might have a history, so what?) and nags me about flying wearing them. But I'm going to wear compression socks instead.
My sister fucked up her foot pretty badly (spent weeks on crutches and may still be in a walking cast for the wedding next weekend), and apparently she needs compression hose too.
FINALLY finished the anti money laundering training & test. I cannot believe how much of my professional life I've been required to take that AND I STILL HAVE NO FUCKING IDEA WHAT TERM LIFE is. Okay, fine--I have an idea. But I'm never going to touch anyone else's so how am I going to stop money laundering?
Grammar question time! One of the slides in the seminar I'm in had the bullet points of:
"Data are organized" looks WRONG to me. Or am I just being clueless?
I got invited to be an external reviewer for some NEH grants. Is it compensated? Of course not. I am sort of getting tired of these pleasant professional honors that don't have any connection to me getting paid. Yes, still not employed.
