Formal? For jeans or khakis?
To wear with a suit, I generally like Allen Edmonds bets. For more casual, I've been pretty happy with J.Crew.

Re: Swamp Shopping Guide
The way the last 18 months have gone, jeans feel like formal wear. Actually need to suit up this afternoon for an interview over Zoom. Feels so weird putting on a suit and tie.govmentchedda wrote: ↑Thu Sep 30, 2021 11:02 am Formal? For jeans or khakis?

Re: Swamp Shopping Guide
I'm still going into the office, but no staff are. I generally wear shorts and a t-shirt. I had a potential client show up in person yesterday, rather than the expected telephone consultation.The Sybian wrote: ↑Thu Sep 30, 2021 11:52 amThe way the last 18 months have gone, jeans feel like formal wear.

I forgot my belt when I packed for this trip to Vegas and now I get to pick my pants out of my ass all week.

Re: Swamp Shopping Guide
Thanks to FB’s listening in on every conversation we have, there have been ads popping up in my feed for https://vintageicehockey.com/. This site has hundreds of old hockey team logos and can put them on all sorts of merch. They even had the AHL team I worked for when I was in college. $40 hoodies in my size are hard to resist. I was expecting garbage, but they arrived today and are pretty nice and fit well. Of course now they’ll email me every 7 minutes, but I like my new gear.

Re: Swamp Shopping Guide
Very cool site. I’m lookin for some Binghamton Whalers apparel, but they don’t seem to carry any. They have Broome Dusters stuff, but most of it says Binghamton Dusters for some reason. I mean, the pun is in the Broome Dusters name! Come on! I’m considering Duster-wear, but the team left a year or two before I was old enough to follow, but I always thought their stuff looked cool.
(Binghamton is in Broome County). Dusters had a cool sweater, brown and gold, and the logo was a drawing by Johnny Hart, who drew the B.C. And Wizard if Id comic strips. He was from Binghamton and did the logos for all of the local parks.

He was from Binghamton and did the logos for all of the local parks.
LinkHart began imparting Christian messages, especially at Christmas and Easter, in the 1980s, after experiencing a religious conversion. Some Jewish, Muslim and secular readers complained to newspapers and to the syndicate, saying his views were offensive or inappropriate for the comics page and better suited for the op-ed pages.
But many Christian readers gave overwhelmingly positive reaction to his unapologetic statements, and free speech advocates spoke up for his right to express himself.
He did not hesitate to express his religious views in other forums, telling the Washington Post in a 1999 interview, “Jews and Muslims who don’t accept Jesus will burn in hell,” and “Homosexuality is the handiwork of Satan,” and “The end of the world is approaching, maybe by the year 2010.”
Several newspapers refused to publish individual cartoons on a case-by-case basis, but others stopped publishing “B.C.” altogether after his Easter 2001 cartoon drew substantial protests. The panel depicted a menorah changing gradually into a cross, and the text included some of Jesus’ last words during the Crucifixion.

Same observation here. You're going to need to compensate by being more Jewish.

Amazon increased Prime to $139.
It went up to $119 in 2018. Federal minimum wage remains at $7.25.

This could probably also go in the shit that makes me feel older thread, but the Goodwill is low-key a place for great deals on clothes (amongst other things). It isn't just dusty junk that you'd find at a lame garage sale anymore. And they have 20% for military and veterans Sunday and Monday.
I got a few pairs of shorts from some golf-based clothing company called Linksoul for 4 bucks each. (If you check their website they are far more expensive.) And a really nice, practically new pullover from Orvis for a couple bucks too.
The pack of Mexican spicy candy chamoy/tajin gummy bears I bought in the checkout line were more expensive than any one thing I've purchased there.

Re: Swamp Shopping Guide
One of the cats knocked his food bowl over and broke it. To replace it, I looked at the bowls at Petsmart, and they are pretty freaking expensive for what they are. So, I walked down to the local thrift store and bought a couple nice ceramic cereal bowls for 99 cents each. Score.
