Quote from: apl68 on Today at 08:02:03 AMMy father wanted to be an engineer, but was called to preach and studied for the ministry instead. He continued to support the family as a mason. When I worked for him in the summers, he was very insistent on paying attention and doing a proper job in every aspect of the work. That was an education in itself that carried over into my college career and my work today.

Quote from: ciao_yall on February 19, 2024, 03:18:40 PMHad a dream last night about $1,000 sweatpants. Woke up thinking "no way those exist" and not only do they exist, there is news about them.
In fact, one can spend a lot more than $1,000 for sweatpants. Is the market that big for people willing to pay that much? I have a pair from Sweaty Betty I thought were stupid expensive but... they are flattering. And comfortable. They are my nice sweatpants.

Price and mileage were right and it's a cute color!
(Okay, slight exaggeration. Truth is I picked it out, then had to save the purchase while I moved some money around.)
