      I'm not really a haute fashion or streetwear (and certainly not a Kanye or Louis Vuitton) kind of a fella but even I know who Virgil Abloh was and respect what he did.

      His passing is a monumental event and I think a surprise. RIP and kudos for making a mark in the world in your 41 years.

      Think it, be it.

        Not content to give up and sell yet, I've purchased two pair of long underwear to wear underneath those much hyped jeans that I think are itchy and do not like. That ought to help unless I think the long johns are itchy too. I think part of the problem is everything feels like shit on your legs compared to IH 21oz denim, and I live in my 822. I don't even like the feel of 25XHS compared to the 21oz on my legs… They are supremely comfortable.

        I was alarmed when Amazon suggests what size I should buy compared the what I've bought in the past and what others have bought in the long johns. The other sizes were greyed out. Big Brother is watching. 😃

          I've just realised today is my forum anniversary, so I wanted to express my appreciation for this place.  I really didn't expect to get involved so much when I signed up.  Thank you everyone for making me welcome and gently leading me astray  🙂

            Congratulations! Thoroughly enjoy having you here, although I’m not sure how much responsibilty we can bare for impressive antique tankard purchases. If I were you I’d take all the honour for that myself.

              Thanks @neph93.  The silver thing was an interest/weakness/drain on my bank account long before IH, but this particular purchase might have been influenced by a certain someone!

                Just finished the last of three papers I’ve written in the last three weeks for a university course. Done for this term.

                Cheers folks…

                    Thank you, it really does. Been such a long time since I've done this kind of thing and it has been taxing, but very rewarding.

                        Congratulations @neph93.  I couldn't imaging going back to serious study now.  @goosehd has slightly beaten me to it, but there is definitely a case to be made for celebrating each paper individually!

                            Given the details of our conversation on Saturday evening, your version of serious study and mine probably differ somewhat. But thank you!

                                    I don’t know if it’s hope or stupidity, but we’ve booked a family vacation to the Caribbean for a week (winter 2022).  We also added a trip cancellation policy in case of…

                                    Just cancelled the trip… 😢  It's the proper thing to do with the kids, variants, and politics...

                                      Sorry for you. Probably the right decision though. Certainly the one I would have made.

                                        I have no idea what will happen second half and certainly reserve the right to cancel all of it.

                                        Think it, be it.

                                          shitty part is the politics…Canada is announcing new policy today restricting international travel (rightly so) and I don't know if we made it down there we could make it back or vice versa.

                                          Kids are single vaccinated (double before trip), Laura and I are double (and in January will be triple).

                                          We weren't schedule until beginning of February but had to pay for the remainder of the trip by Dec 28th.  Had to make the call...

                                          I know it's the right decision, but...I just want to go back to some kind of normal...

                                            Probably a good call just to be safe @goosehd it sucks to cancel what you and your family looked forward to but as @neph93 said, it's the decision I would make too.

                                            In other news, I picked up our marriage certificate yesterday and chose Friday, May 13th 2022 at 1:00pm for our civil ceremony at the courthouse. We are ordering our Good Art rings today as well. She went for the 25 small and I chose the 25 regular. Matchy matchy!
