        last time in gosport tina told me not to by another shirt.
        i went home, stopped "drunken smoking" since than,
        and bought the shirt last week as a reward.

                    working all night, yet again, getting paid by the hour to not sleep, so will be placing an order. Either that or justifying based on bonuses or sales. Pretty bland. Mind you, a few times I've just pretended I've owned it for ages 😉

                            Due to the wonders of technology, my wife gets detailed text messages any time one of our bank accounts is debited more than $150 in a transaction.  Yesterday afternoon, following one of said text notifications, she asked me what I bought from Iron Heart.  I told her what I purchased (IHSH-96 and a couple of tee shirts) and her only response was, "You're buying more tee shirts?"

                            She's very tolerant.

                                      Step one: “I need one pair of heavy jeans and one pair of boots because they will last forever… or at least several decades!”

                                      Step two: “You know if I have two pairs of heavy jeans and two pairs of boots they will be able to air out and people won’t think I’m wearing the same thing every day”

                                      Step three: (by this time it usually gets easer as the crazy denim jargon/lingo is now understood, accepted, and internalized) ”these (fill in the blank) are very nice, they will fulfill need: 1,2,and 3. Plus they will be perfect for application: 1,2, and 3… Etc…”
                                      And so it goes…

                                      Now the addiction has successfully gotten off the ground. 😉

                                            Me: In the last five years I spent $1500 on lesser jeans, and I know you're looking for ways to trim expenses. Yes, I know their expensive, but look at these, their twice the material weight. Look this what these look like at 2 years of daily wear.

                                            Her: Wow they still look newer than those Levi's you just bought!

                                            Me: I know, see, if I buy a couple pair of these I would actually save us money long run due to duration of wear. I can slim down some of the extras, reducing clutter, and I know you hate that. Plus with infrequent washing we'll save on laundry too. I think I could actually save us 25-50% over ten years on denim alone. (Shows her notes and calculations)

                                            Her: oh, that's not bad when you look at it like that!

                                            Me: I know, you should see their shirts….
