I said I would come in today, on Saturday, to tell you a little more about the A&J T shirts that will be available soon, and so I have. To make things easier for all, you can go here for detailed information about the short-sleeve shirts and go here for information about the long-sleeve shirts. The official Gildan Web site will give you the technical details about the shirts, as well as the colors. (Remember, the short-sleeve shirts are available in Carolina blue, charcoal, military green, natural and sport gray, and the long-sleeve shirts are available in black, gold, light pink, red and sand.) There also is a size chart available. The handsome young men are not included.
I thought I would give you my general impressions of our product. These are Gildan’s “Ultra Cotton” line, the best they offer. They are 6-ounce cotton shirts, about the heaviest basic T generally available. All are from 100% American-grown cotton, except the “sport gray” version which, for some reason, is 10% polyester. However, I’ve seen it and felt it; it’s a good shirt. I have worn these shirts around for several weeks and washed them—of course. These shirts fit. When I say that, I mean they are neither clingy nor baggy. I wear a large T shirt normally, and the large Gildan is comfortable. Maybe I shouldn’t encourage you to purchase the wrong size shirt, but if you like your shirt really comfy loose, as many do, you might consider getting a size larger than normal for you. The actually colors of the shirt don’t always match up with the corresponding colors on the Web. Oddly, the shirt colors tend to be more vivid, I think. And remember, you can see the artwork on the shirts by clicking on the link at the top of this post. I’ve said about all I can say about T shirts. Now I’m going to watch the Auburn/Alabama game. War Eagle!!

Bou, did I need to hear that today! Thanks. Not mine.
I thought that might resonate with you, Anonie.
MFA! MFL, of course. Sorry, emb
I like this idea: http://consumerist.com/2015/12/01/nice-person-in-maine-taping-coats-to-light-poles-in-campaign-to-help-keep-needy-people-warm/
Mark: Coats, good; spiked bats, not so much.

Maybe they are anti-mugger/anti-panhandler devices?
Performance art?
Back to women’s stats and measurements. You’re funnier there.
So, I finally looked up information on my carotid bypass and blocked carotid arteries, I subscribe to the rather not know school, just operate. Found out only 5% of population my age has blocked arteries and even less require surgery.
Less than 1% get it at age mine first occurred when I had first surgery. Why must I be blessed with such uniqueness? I thought this was as common as hemorrhoids among senior citizens!
So now I join Miss Charlotte in wishing they had chucked mem in hospital faster than they are. I have two weeks to obsess so you guys be entertaining! Love.
Forgot to tell you I bought two large metal signs to go out on Wooden privals fence. One says “Stay calm and carry” and the other one says “Trespassers will be shot and survivors will be shot again”.
Glen is going to let me frame his last qualifying targets in plexiglass and put them out as well if I like. He kept them. The trouble is this is someone who knows our routines.
Anonymous, put the target next to the sign about trespassers will be shot. Then put a sign under which says “This could be you”. Might get you a couple of solar motion lights mounted to shine on your stuff too. No need to worry about running power to them then.
Plan on that but the ones I bought at Lowe’s don’t seem to be working or we don’t have them installed right? I bought a bunch to mount around yard, this is big yard. We cut most of underlying foliage out awhile back but at night it is too dark.
I need to have some additional wiring done by electrician and I am going to have them do some motion lights around yard tied to electricity and some dusk to daylight ones too. Thinking cameras as well.
Further security note, Glen got alarmed when someone went into his locked apartment and I had suspected, along with my pet sitter we had someone with a key entering house when we were out. See note on someone knowing our routines.
So, when police freak you change the locks. We put an end to that with the best doubled keyed locks and deadbolt and even the motel room head high security backup locks at top of exterior doors. Hate to distrust so much and with me at risk of needing EMS guys right now we have stopped using those motel things cause no one even Glen can get past them.
DARN IT ALL, with all you have to worry about, Jackie, now this, people coming on your property and damaging, stealing. Good for you that you’ve fixed the locks, and you have good people around you. Relax and take it easy!
I kept a B27 silhouette target from my last training session, scored 99×100. The one I lost a point on was on the line…a half bullet diameter (.20″) to the right and I’d have scored 100. No gate to hang it on, though.
Danged sandcastler™ and his Christmas wish list H&K VP9 has got me looking at gun porn now. I may have to negotiate with Santa for a SIG Sauer P320 Compact in 9mm. My newest 9mm service pistol is 20+ years old; and the P320 is a modern modular design that allows for customization, a feature that may well make it the next service pistol for the US military and the FBI.
Oh, and Miz Charlotte, it’s manufactured in Exeter NH, so I’d be helping your state’s economy. 🙂
Re residential security, I’m seriously looking at getting two or three of these. Motion detector and security camera alerts to your smart phone, and it makes an online video record of any intrusion. You can see and even (I think) yell at and/or cuss out the intruder via your phone.

Jackie, could you call your doctor’s office and ask him, or a staff person, would they put you on their cancellation list? If some person couldn’t make it for their scheduled surgery, they could call and give it to you. Dentists do this sort of thing, maybe surgeons do also.
Would love to see you get there sooner, by hook or by crook!
Dearest Ghostly One, the gun search sounds interesting. Exeter NH eh? I’ve been there often; only 20 miles from here, I’d say.
We Villagers all know that Anonymous is Jackie, and thanks to Mark’s analysis we know why. So could we please just call her Jackie again and end the confusion?
I’m sending lots of love to Oklahoma.
Well, I was sort of getting attached to “Anonie”, but I can live with that. 🙂
OK, Jackie, getting “back to women’s stats and measurements”…you know, I try so hard to be good, but often it’s impossible to do so. I was reminded of that today when I stopped by a financial institution to do a favor for a friend. The cute young secretary I dealt with promised to call me with the information in question, and as we stood, she asked for my phone number and casually leaned over her desk to write it down. That of course gave me a perfect view (down the front of her loose-necked sweater) of her not-overly large but very shapely breasts and her low-cut white bra. (Yes, Arlo, there is something about a peek, and they are extremely difficult to look away from, no matter how hard you try.) And she seemed to be writing very slowly for some reason.
My point is not to be prurient, but to point out that I don’t even try to peek, and yet this is the umpteenth dozen time this has happened to me. I cannot believe that most if not all women are unaware of what they are showing at all times, and that therefore most if not all of these episodes are intentional on their part. If that is true, then I suppose I should just enjoy the view and not continue to be racked with guilt every time that happens, as I am now. Your thoughts?
So would I miss Charlotte. I started back having symptoms of not getting enough blood and oxygen up into that ditzy brain of mine. Today was less than good.
Just got such a nice thank you from a surgeon in India for my Facebook management efforts. I get quite a few of those, England, Australia, new Zealand, recently. Makes it worthwhile.
And yeah, McEldowney, we got it a week ago…the cellist and pianist are going to “make beautiful music together.”
I am sure they know Ghost and not accident. Have you never seen Legally Blonde and the hilarious scene where she teaches her salon owner to bend over like she dropped something and then pop them as she comes back up?
Although THIS really was an accident last month when I gave the party down in Texas. Sitting in chair listening to Kelly McGuire play for me and guests when I noticed Dickens the 10# Adventure Dog had hooked his feet in my light weight tee and had pushed it to my waist. I had a bra on.
Ghost it all comes to that climax eventually on 9CL, it just takes them forever to reach those 5 minutes.

Got to change routine.
My Grandmother had carotid done in her 50s-
If I believe what I think I remember of what I thought I heard,
they took it out – reamed it clean an reinstalled it. I was a preteen at the time so
who knows what was actually said.

My first trip to MN in mid December 1963 Lake Bemidji was froze enough to drive on.
All the roads in town were packed snow covered.
The closest it got to zero F was minus 2*
Quite a shock for a lad from NJ/NYC – then I moved here:)
There is a long joke about
Jesus is coming. The gist is L
A burglar enters house-
Startled to hear “Jesus is coming”
Finds out it is a Parrot
Ignores the bird
“Jesus is near”
Ignores the bird
“Jesus is watching you”
Jesus ends up being the Rottweiler
I very quietly confided to my best friend that I was having an affair.
She turned to me and asked, ‘Are you having it catered’?
And that, my friend,
Is the definition of ‘OLD’!
Yeah, I thought so, too. By the way, did you buy the “racked with guilt” thing? 😀
