      not a bad unpop @Clint_D , being that I'm 5 feet 8 inches on a good day I tend to go with slim, highly tapered denim because by the time they are hemmed to my 28" to 30" they almost always look like a regular pair of jeans.  when I put on 634s and jeans that are supposed to be able to accommodate a lot of folks builds and get the denim hemmed they look horrible on me (think jinco jeans)

      I also wear slim tapered denim. jeans with wide hems look silly on me. it's about proportions. @ 5'11 I simply can't get away with a hem that's 8.25" or bigger. I'm not against uncuffed denim either though, I just think wearing your jeans cuffed or uncuffed is dependent on the type of footwear you're wearing and how the denim drapes.

          I really do want one, but I'm fighting an uphill battle since there is some inconsistency in the breeding. You can wind up with a pig the size of a large dog, mostly they get up to 200lbs, and could potentially get up to 600lbs. Jody isn't real hot on that idea.

          This is only for pygmy pigs, not potbellied pigs.

          And yes, pigs are one of only a few species that can digest human hair and bone. There is a pig farm 7.2 miles from my house.

          I know violence is not the answer, I got it wrong on purpose

                  Yeah, @madmonday, I guess I was having a bit of a moment.  Part of it is probably projection on my own strange build.  I'm 5'9" but am much more leg than torso apparently as I typically wear a 32.5" to 33" with some break or slight stacking.  I've had issues over the last few years finding denim that fits in both the waist, thigh, knee etc.  I recently rediscovered how much I love the 634 cut when I won the auction for the sample 634SBG's.  They've been my go-to pair for the last 3-4 months and they're aging wonderfully and fit the way I like.  I should really get some pics uploaded when I get home from work…

                      @Clint_D

                      it was a good unpop op, and it is the point of the thread

                      the thread is like the rants thread, except rants go on without much dialogue, unpop ops are fun because it's a bit more back and forth.

                      best part is no one is trying to change or bash other folks ops, just give their take on the same subject, item, etc. and keep it moving

                      believe it or not this forum has been super good for my empathy, hahahaha cue emo music

                      back to unpop op, hahaha

                                At risk of being slightly political, I think that politics has become increasingly polarised on all sides, and those on the extremes of their respective parties have tended to set the agenda.

                                I don't know what the solution is. 😞

                                      Agree with Clint. I’m fkn embarrassed. Special interest groups such as insurance companies control my government. I’m furious actually. Not embarrassed.

                                        Well, it's sorta only a "partial" shutdown.  Workers deemed "essential" will continue to work, without pay.

                                        That way, citizens/voters are less affected and the political gamesmanship can continue without any check on its irrationality.

                                          funny.  imagine telling people to work for no pay because the job they do is essential (dangerous and life-threatening)
                                          aLso people on leave for whatever reasons are required to come to work because during a shut down there is no leave or days off even if sick or a death in the family or a tree falls through your house cause that's the way it goes

                                          while the elected officials making decisions continue with their pay and lifetime benefits

                                          the stress this causes on the regular working folks is insane and i didn't even get into the contractors and other folks who are government employees but basically screwed over while this is going on

                                          oh and we haven't even touched on the lack of guidance in these government agencies because of the clear nepotism which i thought was supposed to be illegal in appointments

                                          want some fun reading?  look at this https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/m-18-05-Final.pdf

                                          okay i'm done

                                          damn it i said to myself i would not comment on this stuff as i have way too much involvement to really be objective

                                            Right… all Members of the house and senate continue to get paid regardless of the shutdown. Criminals
