Let's share favorites.

I live in t-shirts, especially in the summer. I own many. But my favorite would have to be a simple white tee. V neck, scoop or crew, I have them all.

I wear t shirts all the time and have a large collection. I like t shirts with quirky pictures or sayings on them. Some are images from favourite tv shows or anime movies. A lot are science or school related as I work as a lab technician in a high school. Some of the students and teachers have told me they look forward to seeing what t shirt I'm wearing on any given day.

It all started with a gift from my DH which looks like it has one of those "HELLO My name is" with a blank space for you to write your name stickers that get handed out at group gatherings. In the space it looks like someone has written "Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die." (For those not aware, it's a quote from cult movie "The Princess Bride".)

The one I have on right now is a couple of years old. It celebrates the 75th anniversary of our library.

Re: "The only plants with soil are the lotus & lilies & there's no holes in the bottom of the pots. The others are in gravel with landscaping fabric lining the holes in bottom of pot." When I rebuilt my pond this year I repotted all my aquatic plants by removing and washing off all the soil and then planting them into peagravel (in baskets). Some of the plants I put directly into a section of peagravel in the pond (no baskets). Its been 3 months now, and everything is so slow... very little growth. I was starting to think that maybe this wasn't such a good idea. With the fish chomping away on the roots of the floaters, and then the lilies and mariginals hardly growing and providing very little coverage, I'm also battling with water thats too warm and lots of algae. (Geez... I wish the fish would eat all that algae and leave the roots alone!!) Anyways, I was starting to think this was a bad idea, when I talk to the guy at the pond shop/nursery who told me that putting the plants in peagravel is the new way of thinking and is actually much better in the long run as the plants are truly hydroponic. He said I might not get much leaf and flower growth this year, but the roots are getting established and are getting used to taking the nutrients from the water instead of soil. (I can see the roots have grown alot when I lift up the baskets). Next year and the future years, I should have good growth, and the plants will be strong with much larger blooms than if I had left them in soil. So perhaps it just takes some time and patience... its definetely frustrating. I rebuilt my pond this spring and I can't wait for it to look more filled in (even just a bit more..)... sometimes is embarrassing when people see the new pond and all I have are piddly plants and lots of algae....

Inappropriate T Shirt
Q
Comments (26)
My DH was once drawn to slogan t-shirts (thankfully, not so much anymore). A few years ago he received a shirt in the mail emblazoned with "She Looked Good Last Night." Apparently this is a quote (or was on a shirt worn by a character) in a remake of the movie, "The Bad News Bears." He thought it was funny. I thought it was incredibly lame, and I told him there was no way I'd be seen anywhere in public with him wearing that shirt. I don't believe the shirt has ever been on his body; in fact, I think it's long since just disappeared. This is just to say that my DH is ordinarily a very sensitive, thoughtful man and I know he wouldn't purposely offend someone. For whatever reason, that particular shirt struck him as being so funny that he had to own it (however briefly), which just tells me that even the good guys can have less than stellar moments from time to time. ;-)

House inspection today didn't go so well.
Q

It sounds correct but I am not sure if it is "to code." The code changes very frequently and homes are built to last a long time. My grandmother's house, which was in the middle of town, was on a septic system originally and the washing machine drained to the street where the sudsy water could run directly into the storm drains. This was not remedied when the city installed a sanitary sewer, so on wash days the streets filled up with soapy water. My biggest concern is that an inspector should know the difference between the two. The differences, while subtle, should be obvious to the trained eye, and while not common, they certainly are not rare. Any metropolitan area will have thousands of waste ejection systems. Here is some more info (ignore the sales pitch, it is actually decent info).

I like t-shirts too. Roomy ones.

I entered a draw for a $50 gift certificate and a t-shirt from a raw pet food company and won.

It is very hot here right now....around 100° every day and high humidity....so my typical top is something light weight with spaghetti straps, but when I wear a tee shirt, I want it to be old, washed until it is tissue paper thin, and I am not interested if it has a design or message on it. In fact, I have a couple of favorites....one is turquoise and one is gray and I can't remember the design on them. I do prefer v necks, and I have been known to take scissors and modify tee shirts by making them v necks or cutting off the sleeves. I wouldn't wear any of these off the place, but I seldom go anywhere any more, so I grab a more intact one if I have to go to town.

I "inherited" husband's tee shirts when he passed, but I will save them for winter. They are solid colors, mostly darks, and a few white v necks.

I probably have way more T-shirts than any one person should have, but it's what I wear. Every day. In this hot weather I wear tank tops, which are just like T shirts, but without sleeves. When I go somewhere, I just throw a shirt on, usually a lightweight denim, wear it unbuttoned, jacket style. I won't go out in public sleeveless anymore.

I prefer plain solid light colors, but I do have a few with floral prints or stripes. I have just one with a logo, it says "My Grandson is a U. S. Marine".

I have lots of t-shirts too. Right now I have one from a family vacation several years ago to Custer State Park in South Dakota.

I actually don't wear Tshirts much. If it's really hot, I prefer a camisole/tank top. In the winter I wear very form fitted base layers, which are Tshirt like, I guess.

Here is my staple, but in long sleeve, I wear it in white, black, and pale pink.

I lost this Tshirt on a trip recently. I will probably replace it.

I still have two party shirts from college, remember those? I throw away the endless piles of company Ts my husband and sons bring home from events and such (my boys don't wear swag- some of their friends take pride in wearing nothing but company give aways ;-)

T-shirts have been my clothing of choice since high school. Most were bought as mementos of particular places (mostly parks or breweries) or events (mostly races or sheep dog trialing). I'm always sad when a favorite wears out. My sister offered to make some of them into a quilt but then I couldn't wear them anymore, so no thanks. Once I bought a plain, very pale pink tshirt because it was so incredibly soft - the only plain tshirt I've ever owned.

@Zalco/bring back Sophie!- It's available on Red Bubble. I get most of my t shirts from there. They aren't cheap but they last for years and you're supporting the artists and US manufacturers, not big companies which get their t shirts made by cheap overseas labour. There are literally 1000s of options, if you can think of it, there's probably a t shirt there :-)

I love t-shirts. I prefer fitted vnecks, but can appreciate the comfort of a regular oversized tshirt too. I like funny t-shirts or just cutesy ones. I wouldn't wear any with vulgarity, political or religious messages, or anything like that. But I have lots of holiday ones, like my Thanksgiving "strut your stuffing" shirt, my "I got a rock" or "HalloQUEEN" shirts, or my absolutely ENDLESS christmas ones. I recently got several Breast Cancer related shirts,as my sister,who is closest to me in age at 39 years old, recently got diagnosed with it and as she lives far away, asked that me and our other sister and our brothers wear them in support. The ones I got are pink, v-neck, and say "Save the Boo-Bees. It very cute.

Sorry its just kinda thrown over my stove. I had just opened the package and took a picture of it to show her it arrived.

I get some tshirts as gifts. Mostly from my truck drivers.

Here is a couple gardening shirts one of the truckers gave to me. I am forever out in my flower garden at work. And I guess they thought of me when they saw them. They are wrinkled because I let them sit in the dryer so sorry.....but aren't they CUTE!?!?!

Otherwise, I wear solid,light colored, fitted t-shirts. Simple and comfy.

I recently bought some new "working in the garden" t-shirts when I noticed my old ones were getting little holes and worn. I bought two from youtubers, one Adventurers with Purpose, another Self Sufficient me. I also found a fun Vintage 1962 Limited Edition on Facebook. A few weeks ago I found a Yosimite in a pretty green with a sunset over mountain scene in Big Lots. I think that one is my favorite, so loose and comfortable and cheap.

All of them are unisex shirts or men's so they are thicker than women's ts and have longer sleeves. I really hate those thin women's shirts that are short in the waist and have those stupid little cap sleeves.

I pretty much live in t-shirts. Costco has some 2-pack ones. Last year I bought one set and loved them so much I went back for more and the sold out. I was there a couple days ago and they're back. I bought all the colours. LOL I don't normally wear t-shirts with writing on them. They're either plain or have designs (daisys or stripes, whatever).

I live in hot, hot Florida. I wear the cheapest t-shirts I can find and buy them in Walmart. $4.99. I use them for working in the garden and for sleeping. They are cotton. I buy long, lounging pants in TJ Max and the Walmart t-shirts and those are my pj's.

Those cheap t-shirts last forever. They are cotton and after working and sweating in the yard, go into the washer each day.

I haven't been in Walmart in 2 yrs and was just wondering whether they still have those cheap shirts. I love them.
