Look in your area for a shop that does ready-to-wear clothing alterations. Sometimes dry cleaners will offer those services. Altering a dress shirt to fit you better is a relatively inexpensive service and then you don't have to worry about this anymore. As a 6' tall woman, this is literally one of the reasons I learned to sew.

Cheap, well-made fabric is available at thrift stores in the form of linens. Curtains, tablecloths, and sheets are a great source of high-quality fabrics for cheap!

I did this. I'm starting in my final semester this fall, after going back for my degree at 38 and 8 years experience in my field. For my field, "testing out" wasn't an actual test, it was displaying to the professor that I could show that I had done work very similar to the curriculum for that class and could speak the jargon of my field. They only let me out of a couple requirements though, and only made it so that I didn't have to take those classes, no credit was given to me. Mostly, my experience has led to me having a serious foot up in a lot of my classes and being able to act as an unofficial TA in some of the hands on classes. And for the classes I really should have been allowed to test out of, I still generally learned enough new material to consider it worth my time and money.

My first question was, "why is he apologizing now?" It could be that he started taking his meds, or that he feels bad about the War on Gaza, but if you read the article, he has an album dropping in mid-January. This feels like his publicist made him apologize, not like he's actually sorry for anything or doing better. Considering how recently he was still spouting crazy bullshit, I'd say this is just a case of $$$$$.

I have the same problem. Logged out of Jerboa because it was choking on itself and I can't log back in. Been about 36 hours since the whole thing started and 24 hours Ive been unable to log into the app. About to start checking out other apps.

A real Jewish-style everything bagel, chive cream cheese, lox, more lox, tomato, sweet raw onion, cucumber, open- faced. Don't have to worry about your breath if it's your last meal!

Paul Simon, Crazy Love. The line is "sad as a lonely, little wrinkled balloon." Even as a kid, I always found that image so evocative.

This happened to us a couple of times when one cat went to the vet and came home smelling wrong. The only way we could get the other cat to "reset" was to give the wrong-smelling one a bath.

None of them are hemmed, because they don't fray. If you're worried about it, try gently rubbing at the edge of it. Threads won't come off in your hand either. Microfiber is just the size of the thread used, these are 100% polyester and completely machine washable.

I want to agree with you, but I think the minimum number of ingredients has to be three. Otherwise, the unbelievably sad bowl of iceberg lettuce and Italian dressing that was served to me would qualify as a salad and I simply cannot allow that to be.
