I'm glad guys clothes are sold by waist size rather than some nebulous number.

I know I either need a 32 or a 33 waist, and a 30 or 32 inseam depending on the cut. It's easy.

I'm the same way, which is why I figured that vintage suit would've worked. Ohh well, I learned a little bit about buying 70's suits.

I'm 5'10 185, with a 33/30 pants. Most of my bulk is in upper body, I'm between a large and a medium. If I buy a L-shirt to fit my shoulders, then I tailor the sides. If I buy a M, then the shoulders don't fit.

As for the Wedding adventure last week, I found a few stores Thursday morning but none of them opened earlier than 10. So we just got ready, I wore backup black suit w/ green shirt and tan/blue paisley tie, and made the trip to Salem to help setup early. I didn't really stand out as I was just an usher, and none of it mattered about 1/4 of the way through a bottle of bourbon anyways. Got back into Portland for dinner, and sold the older suit at a buffalo exchange for $9.50 so it wasn't a total loss. Ran into Fred Armisen while bar trompin' with the groomsmen and ate pizza at 2am watching a DUI stop outside. Good times. Spent the remaining weekend on the Oregon coast to work on my chaco-Z tan.

aaahhhhh...an hour until a meeting where I have to sit back and watch a bunch of risk assessors bicker back and forth like school kids for a couple hrs.

I've been dealing with Comcast shitty customer service for the last week.

I went online to have service transferred July 17th and they told me it would take 2 weeks to bring service from the pole to the house. My wife goes in person and they said we already have service at the house and they just need to flip the switch. Tech comes out and says we have one outlet on comcast and three on dish so he just turns it on to the one outlet. We call back to have them come out to turn all four outlets and while waiting they keep turning our tv off. I call and get them to turn it back on next day they turn it off and say I'm not allowed to watch television because they have an open work order.

Seriously...this is what people worry about...

A recent tour of rural areas by Illinois Lt. Gov. Sheila Simon has resulted in a report that shows residents expect their quality of life to improve.

More than 360 people attended Simon's meetings statewide. Their concerns include the ability of schools to prepare students for the workforce and high-speed Internet access.

Not busy for two months, now it's just stupid busy starting next week. I'm triple booked. WTF. I know I shouldn't complain, but project delays drive me crazy...resource planning also includes availability, not just mine but other people that I need for these projects. Had these projects startd when the clients said they would, this wouldn't be an issue...

I have the feeling I'm gonna be in here a lot, very soon.

AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH...Its still early august and they are already starting to harvest....I'm going to be miserable for a lot longer this year....

I made the mistake of brushing out my cat's matted fur last night before bed. I woke up this morning with what felt like a whole peeled grapefruit was somehow jammed into my sinuses.

For someone who's allergic to cats, you'd think I'd know better by now...

 

[snickerd3]

that fact you have a cat even though you are allergic makes you crazy!!!

I've had cats my entire life. According to the scratch test by the allergist, I should be experiencing much more severe reactions to them but over the years I have developed a resistance to the allergy. The only issues I really have with them now is the fact that my sinuses will tell me when it's time to wash the sheets (the cats sleep on the bed and the dander slowly builds up), and if the cats scratch me, the scratches will swell up and get itchy (like a mosquito bite).

So LadyFox goes to let the dog out one more time last night. She saw the dog was alert but figured it was a squirrel or something. As soon as she opened the patio door to put her leash on, the dog took off running. It wasn't long after that one could smell a very distinctive smell. Yep, she got sprayed by a skunk! And perfect timing to as it was right before bed. Sadie's new bedroom is certainly not our bedroom for awhile, but the garage rather. LOL uke: Anyway, just looking for any tips on remedies to try and neutralize the odor on her. I've heard of the tomato juice bath but heard it isn't that effective. Going to the pet store after work to see if they have a special skunk shampoo as I read something about it online.

 

[MA_PE]

Our groomer suggested using pre-packed douche. The vinegar will neutralize the odor (it's the acid in the tomatoes that is the active part of fthe tomato juice) and it's watered down so it won't hurt the dog's eyes. It comes pre-mixed in handy squirt bottles for application.

If you don't want to use the pre-mixed stuff make your own vinegar and water solution. It's a lot less messy than tomato juice.

Over the years our shetland sheepdogs (long-haired dogs) have been nailed a couple fo times. This "magic solution" really does work. I always send the wife to go and buy it. And FWIW, it always seems to happen when you let him out one last time before you go to bed. I feel your pain.

 

[knight1fox3]

Thanks for the tip MA.

 

[engineergurl]

I was going to say vinegar and water... MA's "pre-packaged" solution is one I had never heard of, lol

 

[MA_PE]

we keep a couple of bottles on hand for emergencies. One time he got hit and when he came intto the house my wife picked him up and brought him down stairs. She then went to the store to get some "magic solution". It's past 10:00 at night and she's checking out at the register buying ~6-8 bottles (and nothing else) and the teenaged clerk says to the bag boy "Do you smell a skunk?" and he says "Yeah, I wonder where it is."

My wife is mortified. She didn't realize that when she picked up the dog it got on her and her nose was "burnt" from initial shock so she couldn't smell it anymore. I was hysterical. I figured the kid would say "Lady I don't want to know what you're doing with all this stuff and a skunk."
