Sadly, they don't make jeans the way they used to.

It depends on the brand.

I bet we end up with no refund, or oweing, this year too.

Woohoo...Still poor, here!

....oh...wait...

They were from Uniqlo, which is a Japanese store that has made it out to NY. I really like their jeans- they fit my butt properly and the stor hems them for free.

I think I should've been switching them with other pants more often .

True enough.
I hate shopping though, and it takes me forever to find jeans I like, much less jeans that aren't made of crap.

My little boy threw up this morning.

Twice his own volume.

I'm pretty sure he somehow broke space/time to get more puke than he should've.

Babies are like that.

I got some $80 jeans at The Gap for $20 because no one wanted them. They're alright. Not as nice my two pairs of Lucky Jeans. They are two of the few things I own that are actually made in the U.S. The rest of their stuff isn't, but oh well.

You sure they were made in the US? There's a number of loopholes that let companies label them as such, even though they weren't.

The Jeans are made in Vernon by Los Angeles. The rest of their clothing is made elsewhere though.

Maybe he just saved up everything he's eaten in the last couple of months?

Our cat Rocco has been off his food for a while and I noticed today his ears and eye-whites are yellow. Saw the vet and he has jaundice caused by liver damage. Toxicity is 8.5 times higher than norm.

Hopefully he pulls through.

Sounds EXACTLY like what our cat Flint had 10 pages back or so. Our vet reccommended IV Water every other day, and to force feed him a catfood slurry she showed us how to make. Flint pulled through. Total cost was about 700 bucks. But he was only 3-4 times higher than norm.

I really hope your cat pulls through.

Magpye · Post by **Magpye** » Sat Feb 02, 2008 1:16 pm

Thanks rkolter. We've got these huge freakin' orange tablets to feed him and some pate food. The vet seems to think he'll be okay... I hope he eats something soon though.

Also, I found out that I lost my job this week and now can't afford my mortgage, which was nice. But mostly I'm just depressed that the cat is ill.

Is it the cat that's on your avatar? Hope it gets well; I don't like to see any cat sick.

And speaking of sick, I appear to have come down with something. Couldn't have happened in the five days I have off from work, no...it had to happen on the two days I go in (at 8:30 am too...grr, not a morning person).

Ryan's got a cold.

Flinty has an 'active bladder' and just tried to 'claim' his daddy.

Not a good evening.
