Oh well, you could always use the new coveralls as a painter's blanket the next time you need to refinish a room. You could also try running it over with your car a few times. You may still not want to wear it but it'll be therapeutic.

I never throw out anything of my husband's. But when I need old clothes to wear for gardening or whatever, I never have any because I've thrown them away. That's why I rarely do gardening or such things.Jackie Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06322613989851869319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-2105765594798863222014-03-17T22:39:41.103-04:002014-03-17T22:39:41.103-04:00yeah, what he said ....

But I send him the model/serial number and the link on Amazon.

Silly me.<br />and Two: I do all the laundry here at the Ponderosa. No relation to Hop Sing either.<br />I'm too parsimonious to ever wear anything other something I wouldn't wear to a dog fight to do dirty jobs. <br />I did once drip ONE DROP of paint on one of my "Moosehead" t-shirts, and even though it's worn around the collar and probably should be considered a rag, I peeled it off immediately and put it in the wash. Came out fine.<br />But wear one of my "good" (read, at least a hunnert bucks) shirts? No way man.<br />But then again, it's been several decades since I had anything remotely like a "desk job".

That is probably one of the many reasons she is an ex. <br /><br />I find I tend to keep more of the dirty shirts and torn up pants and wear them to keep the 'good clothes' nice. They are broken in, they are often stained, they have been washed, they have been worn and likely have some good memories to go with them. Throwing some clothes away would be doing everyone a favor.
