^ do tell?

That's the estimated cost of giving several hundred thousand federal employees PTO (the shutdown)

Cuffing jeans<~~~ sick of seeing it.

I've always hated cuffs. It makes me feel like I'm auditioning for a part as an extra in Rebel Without A Cause.
Crazy long stacks look silly and sloppy, though.
Hemming FTW.
-
If that's the look you're going for, then nothing.
I understand there are lots of folks that really dig the 50s greaser sorta vibe, but it's not for me.

Totally agree Chris

I like cuffing and buffalo checks, in fact I'm off to put on my biggest cuffs and my 72 right now and take a picture, ha ha ha ha ha
Question for TMT, do you hate cuffs because you can't do it? Same way as I hate ponytails… fucking hippies.
-
I like cuffing because I'm way too paranoid about hemming my jeans too short (which I've done), i like the look of selvedge, and I hate how fading from stacks looks….

Finn will catch sooner or later
….. not do I model for brawny paper towels.....
even if from the pics I had in mind and that I checked on google just now, that isn't a buffalo ::)and for cuff or not, I do what I feel like at the moment I'm putting a pair on, don't see the need for this or that….

where does that information come from?
wish i was off during that time & knew i would get paid for it. i worked the entire time without knowing if i would be paid & then was advised if i didn't come in there was no guarantee i would be paid for that. oh & folks that i knew who were out and not considered exempt were not sure if they would or wouldn't be paid for being forced to be out of work. doesn't sound like Paid Time Off to me.
sh!t sucked balls. imagine not knowing if you would be able to provide for yourself & family through no fault of your own. i can't speak for anyone else, but the last pay check i received was only a small portion of my normal income because of the shut down & we had to dip into savings to actually pay for our normal monthly expenses.
all the reports of a partial shut down were as most things in the media full of smoke & mirrors & didn't really explain what impact it had/has on the federal work force. as a government employee you give up certain rights where you can not actually talk about certain conditions of employment & operations of your job with the media.
sh!t is cray, not looking for any sympathy & at this point not sure why i am going through it. i get weirder than usual sometimes when i see certain comments that seem to be based in . . . well i really do not know what it is based on . . . .

not discussing politics, just xpressing my point of view & how things look from where i'm at. i'm also trying to figure where information came from so i can look at it myself & understand where the informatino is coming from.
it's all good as the hip folks say.

I do want to explain myself because I think MM might have misunderstood what I was trying to say.
The bill says that all furloughed employees will be reimbursed ex post facto. "PTO" is my way of mocking the ideologues who caused this shutdown, estimated by S&P to have sucked $24bn out of our economy and to have impacted GDP by a fraction of a point. It was not my way of mocking federal employees. The point is that it was a completely pointless exercise that messed shit up for families like yours for no good reason.
