Thrift store drama

That truly depends upon how long the garments have been deep storaged before being given over to goodwill. Most of the garments are perfectly fine... but some reek of attic/closet mold/mustiness.

Our of curiousity, how much were the Todd Oldham jeans going for?

Out here, on those rare occasions that something of that quality would come up, worn of course, they're pricey by thrift store standards.

I love the thrifts!
I made an interesting find today, though...It's a shirt from PZI Denim Jeans co, still has it's store tags (and $39 price tag). I looked it up on ebay and the only thing I could find under PZI as far as clothes were concerned was a pair of worn jeans that sold for just under $50. The shirt says made in Canada on the size tag....I wonder if it's a good brand up there. Any Canadians heard of it?

Only occasionally. Everything gets washed, though...unless it has it's tags, meaning it was never worn. Oxyclean and fabric softener with febreze in it works wonders! I have recently bought my first Dryel set up to clean dry cleanable objecta at home, so hopefully that works well!
GAIN!!!!!

no, really.

I love Gain .. but once, I bought a particular dryer sheet and I can't remember which one it was (what brand or scent) and it just did not jive well with the detergent .. needless to say ... it was not pleasant :D

Not a fan of 'new car smell' dryer sheets, eh?... ;)

I love the ones called 'spring meadow' and such. Fankly, I didn't know spring meadows smell like someone stomping on a reeky perfume bottle.

I'd like to market "stockyard" dryer sheets just to see if anyone's dumb enough to buy them. :D

:D @ the hamster thing. Before I moved to Hilo, we lived in a two-story A-frame cedar house. At first, I liked the smell .. but after a while .. my own house gave me a headache LOL

Actually, I don't know if I've ever actually been in a meadow...not sure what it is, by definition. If it's like the pastures we have out here in the country, I seriously don't want my clothes smelling that way :D

or the restraining orders start? been there, done that, lol

Usually they just don't come back around...my roommate and I are both oversharers though so it works well. She had forgotten that she told me she doesn't swallow and in the middle of burger king the other day a friend of ours made her laugh with her mouth full and she muttered "I need to swallow this" through the mouth full of burger she had...I looked at her and said "Thought you said you don't swallow?" she LOST it (as in started laughing hysterically) she had to spit her burger into her napkin and then said "How did you know that about me?" it was friggin' HILARIOUS!
