Pet Peeves when Clothes Shopping
Comments (48)online shopping is doing strange things to what employees in stores are told to do. I like to talk to them about what the company insists will keep stores going. Online shopping is superior for most people but I don't want the kind of warehouse semi slavery that bezos has created for Amazon and that is the future for those employees if things keep on as they are. The attempt to survive and make profits, fabrics get thinner and cheaper. Clothes are discarded after a short time so that they must be replaced. A typical garment sewer in Los Angeles makes 4-5 dollars an hour or less if they don't get paid which happens frequently. Mostly it's Korean run sewing rooms using Latino sewers. I shop the garment district fabric wholesalers that supply these sewing rooms. It's all the same fabrics used in the clothes everywhere from high priced to low. Stuff coming in from China is exactly the same but sells for half the price. Race to the bottom. As long as people buy it, nothing will change. I sew for myself and many times I buy something inexpensive and take it apart to make a pattern so i can use better cloth. Some of the better quilting cottons make beautiful shirts. Qualitymen's shirts can be cut down as well. Menswear seems to be made to last. I think they view women as discarding clothes and replacing them as compared to men. Silk knits are very nice and soft and don't shed. I do love angora sweaters though shedding and all. Acrylic is super soft but pills right away so I never get that if it's blended with wool. Linen is my favorite. Its cool, it lasts, it's classic. It wrinkles.........can't have everything....See MoreYour 18 years old and it's Friday night
Comments (48)functionthenlook, it was "ward clerk" initially. Somewhere along the line "ward" transitioned to "unit". This was how I worked my way through college at first, later as an EKG technician. Both jobs no longer existed in the hospitals by the time I finished my career - simple EKGs were done (usually incorrectly, I might add) by the patient care technicians and after EMRs developed to a certain point, nurses were on their own to answer phones, handle paperwork, process orders and so forth....See MoreFNM (Friday night music) Continued - Plant Kingdom - Part 2
Comments (38)Here's a link to the clothes FNM thread. An easy way to find previous recent FNM threads is to check The Garden Party. We've been cross posting on TGP for this reason, as there is little other activity there, and so one can just go to that forum and see a list of FNM. If you do post a new FNM thread, be sure to cross post on The Garden Party so that this will continue. This started when HT was discontinued. Of course the ones that were on HT cannot be found, and so I think I would be fine to start threads with topics that had previously been posted there, since they are gone now....See MoreFRIDAY NIGHT MUSIC - IN THE HOUSE
