    I have two suggestions for your T-shirts:

    l. Tape or pin them to your garage walls.

    2. Have some quilts made from them. Then you could raffle them off and donate proceeds to charity. #tshirt

    @Murilee Martin: Old t-shirts get stretchy and stretchy stuff doesn't work well on quilts. I had an old collection of 60s/early 70s Fender t-shirts--Fender has brought back some of them, but not all of them, strangely enough. We tried various ways to save them but the only one left is "The World's Favorite Love Machine" with some cartoonish birds and bees on it--after seeing the rest fail as pillows, throws and such, I can tell you that this kind of material is really made for t-shirts, period and I'm glad I didn't risk the "Love Machine" one, which is currently in hiding in the bottom of a drawer. #tshirt

    Interesting, but I'm partial to automatic Ω and Tag Heuer autos.

    My Ω costs more than the last three cars I've owned (separately, not combined).

    @OA 5599: Oh, got it.

    I misunderstood. I've sworn off, at least for several years, paying more than $3K for a vehicle, and I'm not about to drive junk.

    Though I have considered a couple of Roadmonsters and last-gen RWD Fleetwoods. Difficult to find un-donked versions, however.

    To this day, if someone came up to me and demanded my car or my timepiece/wedding ring, take the car. Oh, and don't park it where you have to back up....

    "Timepiece" is when they're at least four-digits of cash.

    While I love my SSS (stainless steel Speedmaster), I'd love to have a Casio Pathfinder, PRG80YT or later, do everything watch.

    @that ain't the way to have fun, son: If you want a clean, stock Roadie or F'wood, make contact with the people who run estate sales. Promise them a little something if one comes on their radar and they give you first shot at it. For that matter, make friends with some funeral directors, too. #porsche

    I guess I just forgot to mention that myself (and I think most people of my age group [college]) are ridiculously forgetful, and forget to put it on in the morning.

    It seems as well that I can never find a watch that is "just right". They are always too flashy or too techo-lame. #porsche

    Have a small clock/chrono/timer/alarm on my arm is so much more convenient than dealing with a cell phone or other device. Plus, running, workouts, etc. #porsche

    I still wear this ratty old thing because here in the corporate world, it's nice to be able to look down and be reminded that I'm not part of their overly-polished yuppie image (which is why I don't wear fancy/shiny watches).
