Dorky bike gifts from clueless people

The seller says they've stopped making them. DAMN!!!

Talk about Scary Clown Syndrome....

when I see stuff like those underwear, i wonder about the life of ER doctors and nurses.. seeing lots of people unexpectedly in their underwear!

[KnottedYet]

I get to see more than my share of underwear at my job, too. Do y'all know what your daughters are wearing? Ewwwww. Back in the day, *adults* didn't wear those g-strings every day, let alone 12 and 13 year old girls!!!

Meanwhile the boys are wearing compression shorts down to their knees with sliders or boxers over that and knee-length basketball shorts over THAT, and obsessively pulling their shorts legs to cover every scrap of skin above the knee.

Back in the day, *adults* didn't wear those g-strings every day,

See, I can't imagine wearing anything else. I honestly can't find a pair of full coverage undies that are *cute* and won't ride up my butt.

Since my undies always end up in my crack, I figure just let them start there. Why fight it?

Plus, panty lines are not good.

I see your point. But nobody ever mentions "thong lines"- I see plenty of those through skirts and snug pants, and why are they any better than "panty lines"?

Knotted- why are boys wearing compression shorts under their long baggy shorts and boxers??? ...clueless...

and while we're at it, what are compression shorts?
everytime a young girl bends over and i see she's got a thong
i cringe. Seems like a great way to get yeast infections and
stuff, concentrating the heat and friction there like that!

Well, they aren't.

If you can see someone's thong through their skirt... they need to put a slip on.

And if the pants are so thin and tight the thong outline can been seen... those pants are probably too small... or so poor quality they never should have been purchased.

My undergarments are not seen by anyone... I always make sure of that. Young girls though, don't always care or know any better.

Wow, did this thread ever take an interesting turn! Underwear? heh. Why bother?

My thoughts about the original thread, though, are that relationships are all very complex and I really couldn't possibly comment on what Lisa ought to do or ought not to do (until she had talked to her brother on Christmas Day).

I grew up in a dysfunctional catholic family and am the only one who has opted out of that chaos and misery for the long term - including all holidays. They don't know me, I don't understand or like them, so why bother pretending, especially at this time of year?

DH and I do spoil each other each year, and it's fun between us, but possibly the best gift this year was the warm wishes from our new friends in our new town, and knowing that possibly next year we'll spend Christmas with them so we can all be away from people who hurt and instead be with people we cherish.

As usual, the ladies of TE have some excellent ideas for meaningful, simple, enjoyable Christmas gift exchanges. As always, you ladies rock!

Merry Everything to each of you!

Hugs and butterflies,
