On my way back from wasting company time staring at myself in the washroom, this woman comes in wearing capris and sandals. If miss sunshine had looked at the weather channel this morning, she would have seen that today’s high is 9 degrees celsius (Toronto, Canada. unseasonably cool) with rainy yucky skies ALL week. Now, my gripe is…it’s SEPTEMBER 25th!!! Stop with the summer clothing! errrrrr!!! sandals, i can see with slacks, but not the strappy numbers.
AND ANOTHER THING…those of you who chose to keep your freaking xmas/hallowe’en/easter whatever holiday decorations up all year long…STOP IT. i swear, i will start sending out CRANK MAIL/EMAIL to those of you who continue to annoy me. and they won’t be nice.
people who dress warmer than their children…WHAT THE F#%k is wrong with you!!! <smacking up-side the head> Really people, their clothing is cheaper than yours…THINK ABOUT IT!

I can personally attest, as the father of a 17-month old, that her clothes cost WAY more than mine. And it ain’t like I shop at Gucci for Kids. Carters, Wal-Mart, that’s the ticket!
You know what gets on my nerves? People talking about “crank calls”. I have always been under the impression that it is supposed to be “Prank” calls…Ah well… [/hijack]
Ya gotta know how to shop around. My wife is an amazing bargain hunter. She always finds theses really great outfits for our 15-month old that usually cost less than five bucks. She enters a store and it’s straight to the 50% off and clearance racks. And it’s not like she gets tacky or ill-fitting clothes either, she got some great things from JC Penney after Xmas last year that averaged $1.99 each. I am truly in awe of her shopping abilites.
“Prank” calls are what you get from people who think they are funny. “Crank” calls are what you get from somebody who is so annoyed by your decoration that he feels he has to yell at you about it. You know–a crank.
Please do not smack me upside the head when you see me dressed warmer than my son. He is a walking furnace, just like his dad. I, on the other hand, am usually colder than the average person.
However, shorts in the wintertime should be outlawed unless you are going to the gym to work out.
Not that I have kids, but after being around them:
Have you ever tried to convince a 4 year old girl that a Disney Princess T-Shirt, Purple skirt, clear plastic shoes and a Burger King crown isn’t quite the outfit for 40 degree weather?
Have you ever heard screaming that could tear out the eardrums of people in buildings miles away?
Sometimes it’s just easier to give up and let the little demon learn the hard way.
People who think they have a right to criticize others: STOP IT!!! adzoa k, not all of us are cold-weather weanies. You try spending years and years up in the frozen wastlands and then move to the south.
I’ll prolly be wearing these capris and sandals for a few more months down here. It’s warm here, relatively!
well, maybe this is just because of where i live, but i don’t even bother to buy winter clothes. i have some three-quarter sleeves work clothes, and a sweatshirt that i got in high school to get in free to football games when i went with the rotc, but that’s it.
first of all, we have two seasons in houston: summer and february.
secondly, even when it is cold, once you get inside the office they’ve got the heater turned up to about 110 degrees (because – oh my god! – it’s so cold outside!). it’s just easier to wear short sleeves and a jacket.
now, in high school i used to wear either a jacket or a shawl all the time, even when it was hot. the school was always freezing to discourage girls from wearing short shorts and tank tops. i got so used to it that it’d have to be about ninety-five before i’d even think of taking my jacket off.
This is true. Given how quickly infants and toddlers grow a number of consignment shop owners made a good living selling nearly new, brand name clothing for a fraction of it’s original price. It’s usually by the second or third kid that moms get involved with these in that mothers seem less particular about having brand new clothing the second or third time around.
Ah kin w’uns all dawn heah get a “Florida exemption” on the no-summer-clothing rule? It is still almost 90 F.
What annoys me? Thanks. I have been waiting to tell someone. THAT DAMN LEE GREENWOOD SONG! “I’m proud to be an American, (whar’ / cuz’, I can’t tell) at LEAST I know I’m free.” WTF does he mean by that? 1, The ground contains minerals that make us all free? Or, equally stupid, 2, everything else may bite the huge one, but at “least” I know I’m free? Me, I think the Constitution–constantly ripped (as a “technicality”)–is a factor in all this. Anyway, thanks, I feel better now. The rest of the song is fine, lyrically speaking anyway, just the one word is really annoying me right now. It does not help that you can hear the song 20 times a day without looking for it.
