I'm more broken than you

[thatguy]

I don't know if you all were fans of the magazine Dyn-o-mite when you were in grade school, but they once had a craft/decorating tip of stuffing your old t-shirts and sewing the holes up to make t-shirt pillows for your crib (they didn't call them cribs back then, tho). I kinda think that might be a nice second life for some of the favorite t-shirts that never make it into the rotation...

Or. Or.
My mother had a ton of t-shirts when she passed. I was ready to send them off to Goodwill or the dumpster. I cared not. The non-arctic sister got it into her head to make them into quilts. She had seen it someplace, maybe on line. Wouldn't it be great if everyone got a quilt of mom's old t-shirts? No. No, it wouldn't.

Needless to say, I spent a bunch of nights cutting up my mother's t-shirts into squares to send off to the company that would be turned into quilts. All told, I cut enough shirts to make five quilts for all the female members of the Lynch Clan.

I can give you the number if you would like.

Quilting concert shirts is a common way to deal with them in my circles. Maybe someday. I keep meaning to catagorize them better. Right no I have drawers, drawer sections, and piles dedicated to: Martial Arts, Rock Med, JAH Med, Reggae, Grateful Dead and general fandom. I could break those into festivals like CR, SNWMF, OSL (of which I have many) and by year. One of my friends documented all of his in facebook albums. I should do that. 

Or I could just leave them in overstuffed drawers that tests my century+ old bungalow's inset drawers.

My buddy Len did that with his mountain of fencing t-shirts (one of his students made the quilt, though) and it turned out great.

Started? You're late to the boat on this one. We aren't even getting into how many swords I own. I don't even know. Not three digits worth yet, I think. 

It occured to me that I could wear a different shirt every day for months...maybe even a year...maybe more...

If your drawers are full, where do you store your drawers?

In the drawer drawer, obvs. 

I need to cull my drawers too. And maybe my socks. I did throw a pair of carharts away, and some long johns. It's a start. Baby steps, man, baby steps...

[Drunk Monk]

Well crap. I've cut my knuckles. A slash across my pinky and ring finger, proximal phlanges, on my right hand. Like I threw a bad punch. 

When the fuck did I do that? 

I hope no one got hurt.

Now I’ve found a tiny cut on my right cheek. WTF? Where are these coming from?!? What is happening!?!

Hopefully you don't get to 1000 too soon...

Is seven appointments for the month of June excessive?

Asking for a friend.

Not for old people...

[Greg]

I'm not old. I mean the person asking isn't. At least that's my guess.

My GP doctor retired and I've started with a new one. I have an appointment next week to get things started. Kaiser sent an email asking me to fill out a health questionnaire. It asked about my general health, activity levels, diabetes and other questions. The result of the questionnaire was that Kaiser told me I really need to go see a doctor.

[Drunk Monk]

That’s so Kaiser

My previous KGP was an old Chinese doc who understood my Kung fu practice. He retired years ago and was replaced with my current GP, an Indian woman with deep eyes and a husky voice. Seeing her is like speed dating because the visits are so quick and I should change with a doc here in santa Carla, but it’s an excuse to drop in on Tiger Claw.
