Hot Tea and Tagless Undies
I'm sick. I'm tired. My throat feels like there's a grapefruit stuck in it. Breathing has been reduced to a single nostril function. I feel like someone kicked me in my sleep and there's a 400 pound man sitting on my chest. I'm jumping into a hot tub and praying that I don't get comfy and fall asleep there. I wish my mom was here. She always made me feel better when I was sick. She'd rub my back until I fell asleep. If I was staying home from school, she'd make me get up out of bed and go lay on the couch in the morning. I'm not sure what the purpose of that was other than to avoid staying in bed all day. But then she'd bring me toast with cinnamon and sugar on it and some hot tea and I'd forget about being forced out of bed and settle into watching Captain Kangaroo or some kid show like that. Aaaah, I never knew how good I had it.
Since I'm in the mood to bitch, can someone please tell me the thinking behind making tagless underwear.....
Tagless = sans tag. It's false advertising. They can't say these are tagless underwear because THEY HAVE A TAG. I'm just asking that they be truthful in the advertising. "New! Improved! We moved the tag to the hip so you don't have to stick your hand down the BACK of your pants anymore! We are GENIUSES!"

You know what rips my undies the most (almost literally lol)...the tags on the inside back of jeans...those tags catch on the knickers and during the course of wear, wear them down, leaving ugly little pulls in the silky/satin fabric. I hate that!
Ah was good to vent. Hope you're feeling better really soon :)
We? What do you mean we?
Get well sweetie! I would make you toast and tea if I were there.
Get well soon !!!
Hahaha tag-relocated underwear doesn't sound that good I guess. Sort of wrinkle-free trousers what they mean is free wrinkles with trousers :)
we found that HANES actually makes tagless underwear, and they don't put the tags elsewhere. (woohoo). i hate tags...tags on 't'shirts get ripped off, same for sweatshirts, anything that has a tag, gets ripped/cut off. hate 'em.
hope you feel better soon. perhaps you might see a doctor? a 400 pound weight on the chest indicates to me sign of chest infection, like bronchitis or worse, pneumonia. i deal with both and can tell you its serious. do take care. and by the way, toast and sugar is one of my favorite comfort foods!
I like jackt's idea--huge tags on thongs LOL. (wondering if some of those tags would say "warning...contents under pressure" or "do not expose to an open flame". lol.
That is crazy--tagless underwear with a hip-tag...You should write to the company about it...who knows maybe they'll change them and you'll get free underoos for life?
Hope you feel better very soon!
jackt - I look at those women and think 2 things (1) there, but for the grace of god, goes me and (2)a little self-esteem would bring out the beauty hidden inside that person.
Lisa - Ugh! Hate that. I also hate the washing machine because I put in pretty panties and get back panties with little holes and rips in them. Ooo, story idea, the panty gnome that lives in the washer.
Rick - Yes, WE...do you really think only 1 genius could devise such an evil plan? Or were you thinking YOU were the only genius? ;) Thanks for the thoughts...[note to evil self: clone Rick...sell product to single gals all over the world...make oodles of $...muahhahaha]
SJ - There does seem to be an evil advertising conspiracy out there. Can you have the Sultan talk to the Devil for me? I think the chickens need to hit these people first. [to understand this entry go read SJ's post about atomic chickens]
Poet - Ah, I'll try those next. I hate tags, they're scratchy! Who wants to be seen in public scratching their bum??? Thanks for the advice, probably bronchitis. Calling doc now. Toast with sugar is nectar of the gods.
Retro Girl - Maybe I'll do that after a nap. "Dear Sirs...let me explain the meaning of tagless to you..."
You should sue. Or burn their factory to the ground.
I'm not the only genius?....this will come as quite a shock to my mother!
As far as that cloning biz, the wife started laughing her ass off; tears in her eyes. She sez to thank you for the great laugh......
Grant - I've asked SJ to turn the atomic chickens loose on them. I think burning the factory to the ground would add insult to injury.
Rick - Tell Beth that laughter only encourages me! She'll roll on the floor when she reads the post...that is if this cold doesn't suck the creativity right out of me.
Lol, Jackt. I can hear it now. A beautiful lass walking down the road, her jeans slung below the hip. She passes two elderly women sitting on a park bench. One woman says to the other, "What the hell did she have for breakfast?"
Okay, so maybe they're not slung quite so low.
Angie, since you're SJ's choice to save from this planet, maybe you can have the devil pay the underwear manufacturer's a visit.
I take that back. Now that I think of it, Satan's already got a deal with them.
And if you take Grant's advice, make sure you sue first, burn second, but only after the settlement check has cleared.
Get well soon.
xdell - Well, according to Grant, he is Satan. You would have thought he would have offered to take care of that for me! lol
Thanks for stopping by!
I always rip tags out too! Boo to tags I hope you are feeling better today sweetie!
