    My Chrome backpack is the most expensive bag I've ever bought but it's worth it since the old Jansport (I think) backpack I had been using for like 6+ years was falling apart. Chrome's are built with the most durable stuff I've ever seen and it really feels like it was worth all the money.

    I've been thinking on spending a sizeable wad of cash on some decent fashion items, because I'm tired of looking like a slob.

    Then again, I'm broke and if I can't figure out what to do with my hair, I probably shouldn't be thinking about plopping 100+ dollars on a blazer or something.

    I definetly need some shoes, though. And some new Levi's.

    Just pick up one of those credit card thingies at every store. It's plastic money, man. It ain't even real!

    I hate wallets. Very uncomfortable when you gotta make a long drive or if you have to sit on a metal tractor seat all day.

    Actually I was kind of thinking about this today as I was doing laundry.

    I spend maybe an hour a day doing the family laundry, although this isn't every day, which ends up being ~5 hours a week to do laundry for three people, and this is with the aid of a washing machine.

    Back before there were laundry machines and we did this shit by hand, people apparently spent ~5 hours a week doing laundry. It took more time per shirt, but there were far less shirts to wash.

    The first thing we did when we got time-saving devices like the washer/dryer was buy more crap to fill up that time.

    Which makes me wonder why I really need to have more than four or five shirts total in the first place. It's enough that they'd each be clean every time I wore them, and with today's improvements in manufacturing I'm pretty sure I could find clothing that would be durable enough to last me for years.

    You can handle it. Just remember they are one time use only and not answer any phone calls you get from "Private Caller" or "Unknown" from then on. All they do is pester you for stupid shit. I don't know what the problem with those two is.

    Well topless is a pretty popular style I think, so I guess that could be it.

    I am thinking not, though.

    i spend 2 hours doing laundry every 3-4 weeks

    hang up shirts for a couple days, and they are fine
    unless you shit yourself regularly, pants can be reworn
    my cue to do laundry is running out of boxers to wear

    Right but this means that there have to be whole sections devoted to people who are buying a bottom without a top or a top without a bottom or what have you.

    This must be very liberating for people who have had their lower torso amputated or are just a pair of legs and some hips.

    My dad has like two dozen business suits, and he wears one every day. Then he comes home and changes into his "home clothes" because he doesn't want to get his suits dirty, and then throws his not-dirty suit in the wash. The particularly nice stuff goes to the cleaners, the rest I take care of. Ironing is a time-sucking whore.

    And like once a year he throws out all the over-washed, slightly faded suits and buys a whole new wardrobe of suits.

    Although admittedly he is a pretty well-dressed guy.

    What? How does buying more shirts mean more laundry? I assmue that you only wash dirty shirts; thus, your greater burden stems not from owning so many shirts, but from changing shirts, apparently, about ten times more often than was done back in the days without washing machines. This tends to lead to the conclusion that you are mildly obsessive-compulsive and, apparently, like to blame societal consumption for your problem.

    She is 19 years old and maybe also totally not functioning on a normal level
