That is pretty cool – and I like t-shirts, because they are less expensive and not the god-awful baby pink that the NHL seems to think is appropriate for all females – even if they aren’t 12 years old.

Jerseys are far out of my budget, alas.

jerseys are

too expensive for me too (that’s why the only one I have was a gift). I would like some sort of a long sleeved dealy for layering, since I’m cold much of the time. I’d also like some sort of hoodie that was less than 50 dollars without looking bad

I’m digging this hoodie, but not for 90 bucks

Agreed

90$ is too pricey for my blood, but other than that, it is quite spiffy.

except

the only size available is extra large :/ so even if it weren’t 90 bucks, it wouldn’t work. But it’s still quite sharp looking

I'm the tiny person in the family

My mom = 5’7"
My dad = 5’11"
My brothers = 6’0" and 6’1"
My youngest sister = 5’10"

My other sister is 5’3", so although I am the oldest of five, I am also the shortest.

Could be worse, I suppose – everyone tells me I don’t look 38, but the problem is that it makes me very uncomfortable when a 20-something hits on me.

I got more booze today because I pretty much finished off what I had last night. They carded me at the SAQ (Qc government run liquor store) It’s weird—my first 2.5 years here I got carded like3 times. in the past year and a half I’ve been carded at least that many times. How can I be more suspicious the older I get?

Enjoy it while you can

A few years ago, I was on my lunch at work, and stopped in at the LCBO in our building (did I mention I loved that job?) In front of me in line were two girls, probably from the uni down the street, and they wanted to buy beer. When asked for their id, they said they didn’t have it with them, and wanted to buy the beer now, and bring id later. After the clerk finished laughing, I came up with my bottles, and had my id handy, just in case (I don’t look my age) and she said to me, and I quote “You’d be just thrilled to pieces if I asked you for your id”. Now, as I was in no way even close to being over 30, I showed her my id. She couldn’t look at me while she rang through my purchases.

To sum up: I used to hate being carded, but I hate the whole “you’d love it if I carded you” thing more.

They are probably just trying to make up

for all the booze they sold my school band on our trip to Montreal. When I was 14. And bought booze at a depanneur, along with all my other severely underage pals, and then we all got so drunk within the first hour of us being there that the chaperones wanted to cancel the trip.
