I like boxers for under skirts... but in general I am not a fan of short shorts of any type for me for the reason that I have these wide hips, even when I was skinny I looked weird in shorts.

I see young girls in these cut off shorts and it makes me glad they werent in fashion when I was in my 20s as they would have looked really, really stupid on me.

* Not knocking these shorts themselves... they look great on the people I see around who are not me..

I find it depends on body shape... one type of underwear might be comfortable on one person and cause problems for another person.

My point exactly. That goodness we live in a society with more than one option. Fashion has gotten more broad in that regard, but sometimes depending on what the current hottest trends are, I do struggle to find styles that work for my build. Don't even get me started on my frustrations with finding well-fitting dress shirts for work and bras.
 
I wouldn't like boxers as underwear but they definitely work as sleepwear. I'm going shopping in a bit and wil be buying some briefs. Will report back later, haha.

You're trying to watch Netflix but it keeps going out every three minutes and takes three whole minutes to kick back in again. So annoying. My wifi has been so bad the last few months.

This exact thing happened to me yesterday while I was trying to watch TV episodes at a friend's place. We got so frustrated with it.
 
When you wash your hair and when it dries you realise you haven't washed out all the conditioner.
 
Aghhhh! I feel a cold sore coming on.
 
When you gain or lose just enough pounds to put you in between sizes so you neither fit in the smaller size nor the larger size.
 
When you bruise your knees constantly while dancing. I have been dancing at the YMCA studio now for a while and doing floor work and I still haven't learned to transition smoothly from laying to sitting to standing in my technique. I honestly don't remember bruising my knees like this when I danced years ago, and I was dancing a LOT more then. It doesn't seem to hurt while I am dancing, only later. I get so into the music and movement I don't really pay enough attention. Gonna have to rent out the other studio and record myself so I can start learning where I am going wrong. :/

That is why I also have various sizes of clothes. It is annoying as I feel that I don't have many of them. In reality I have different styles in two sizes.

This happened to me as well. Maybe it was a Netflix problem and not a Wi-Fi problem. I have never had problems with Netflix, so this was a first.
Re: underwear, I like Jockey or Hanes Her Way and I usually get bikini cut. I hate briefs, as they feel like too much fabric. I love boxers in the summer for sleepwear.
 
...it's a warm fall day and you're walking around with hardly any clothes on and the a/c or fan turned on because you're sweating, and you walk into a store that sells clothing and practically everything they're selling requires you to imagine wearing three or four layers of warm winter clothing because there's a blizzard outside and you're drinking hot chocolate while Christmas carolers are at your door?

...it's a really cold, blustery winter day, with several inches of snow or rain that day alone, you're bundled up in three or four layers of warm winter clothing and can barely move and you're sweating because the heat is cranked up, and the stores are selling light spring clothing that requires you to imagine strolling through a park or meadow on a warm and sunny spring day while wearing a thin shirt, pastel pants and sandals and the flowers are blooming and the birds are singing and you're eating chocolate Easter eggs?

If you open the story in the "hidden" window of your browser, the no-track browser, the story will open for free, at least on NYT and WSJ.

The Tennessean, Nashville's newspaper, does this. Actually, I can get on the newspaper's website and read their stories for free, but if you live outside the Nashville area, they use some sort of program to determine your location and block your access unless you buy a subscription.

Why they do this, I don't know. I suppose they want people to pay for their subscriptions, but if you don't live in the Nashville area, it seems unlikely that you'd want to buy a subscription.

How do I find the "hidden" window? I use Firefox. Does it have this "hidden" window? Or would I need a different browser?
