Somehow an Evil thought creeps into my mind:

“Good Morning. We’re from the Jehova’s Witnesses and…Oh My Lord…! Child, you need to read this Watchtower Right Now…!”

I live without any other humans, and since my cats don’t wear clothes, I usually don’t bother to, either. It cuts down some on laundry, but I had to buy an apron for cooking bacon!

Not many clothes here, either. Underwear sometimes, but nothing most of time (towels to protect the furniture). If someone is around who is not a sex partner, I’ll put on some clothes. I keep a pair of shorts by the door in case someone drops by.

And, it doesn’t cut down on the laundry. I do have to go out at times and those clothes need to be washed.

When, oh when, will the world wake up and everyone can go nude to the grocery store? 🙂

Hmm … I feel weird without clothes on, but maybe that’s 'cause I’ve never lived by myself. It’s like when you’ve been married for a while and take off your wedding ring; it just feels odd to me. I _thought_ I was in the majority, but now I’m starting to wonder …

You all seem so happy nekkid, and I’m a textile addict.

Kids do that where you live? How much does a missionary cost? Not that I want one, or anything, I’m just curious.

Summer times I’m normally either naked or down to the undies. It’s too expensive to run the air in my apartment. Big leaky windows and a small box unit in the bed room means I’d have to pay around $100 a month to keep it cool in here. Winter time I normally have to wear clothes. Big leaky windows and heat radiating from the ceiling (don’t ask how that works) normally means $100 electric bill and it’s still cold in here.

In summer when we had a pool I used to wear my togs all day, but now we don’t have one (a pool, that is), I wear clothes.

But then, I count this as a good thing, because I still live with my parents (being a uni student and 19 and all).

I wear clothes MOST of the time at home, but the first thing that comes off when I come home is the damn bra. Well, and then socks, but mostly I’m concerned with getting the bra off.

Going without at work is NOT an option, so that’s why I put up with it to begin with.

Hubby is a nekkid-type person. I, on the other hand, hate being without shoes. It looks stupid to hang out nekkid except for shoes, so I tend to stay dressed.
