    I would never throw away a favorite shirt just because SWMBO said it was time. Hide it from her, maybe.......[/QUOTE]

    Great until wash time!

      Wash time? What does that have to do with a favorite shirt?

        I'm with Uncle Cracker here too.

        I wonder how LOYL would react if you went into her closet and sorted through her clothes saying "Well, THIS will never fit again!" and ripped them apart at the seams?

          ROTFLMAO............

          So funny and evil. Try it and have her let us know when the funeral is.


          (I am going to have this running through my head all day)
          She couldn't tell the difference between the escape pod, and the bathroom. We had to go back for her.........................Twice.

            Doug - go for it, great idea.

            Let us all know how it works out and how you plan to replace all your tools that suddenly dissapeared

              I wouldn't do that to my wife, but the seam ripping will happen on it's own. (it is tempting though)

              Like last night I got one of those "am I too fat for this?" questions. She got her reply when she popped a seam picking up her purse. My "Well, there you go.." answer didn't help much.

                You will of course note I suggested it be tried with LOYL, not LOML!

                Honestly I can't imagine LOML doing that sort of thing. She might ask "When are you planning to change for dinner?" as I grab my keys preparing to go - but she wouldn't rip up or dispose of something of mine without asking first. But then again, I know I am a very fortunate fella.

                  I did nod in acceptance as the question was put forth.

                  The shirt adventure began about a year ago. The LOML said we were going out to buy new t-shirts for me. Some what increduless I asked why.

                  Her comment was the ones I had been wearing were to ratty for any thing but the shop and she questioned some of those.

                  I mentioned that I was just wearing out the old ones and no need to buy any new ones. She inquired as to why I thought that was so.

                  And I explained I had three draws full of new t-shirts. (We get t-shirts at a lot of the competative shoots we attend) and I had just put most of them away.

                  Since then I have had to break in several new shirts and convert a bunch of older shirts to rags.

                    LOML has a method of retiring any of my shirts (inluding new ones) that she doesn't like for one reason or another.

                    They gravitate to the bottom of the hamper and somehow don't get washed...
                    If I complain about a shirt it may get washed but this would be about once a year.

                      I also have to report the shirts do make great rags.

                      I used several pieces of both applying stain and finish this weekend.

                        I have a collection of vintage T-shirts going back to my college days. They were designed by a friend of mine to promote various parties. They have been retired from active wearing, and some day I may use them to decorate the Man Cave, AKA basement rec room.

                          My raggedy T-shirts go to the shop but since i'm single, even dress shirts go to Goodwill when they come out of the dryer with wrinkles.

                            When my shirts have 18 holes, they are my golf shirts. Or that is what i tell my wife.
                            When they get 19 holes or more she makes me rags, she's so good to me. HA. HA.
