Some good clean fun?! [Archive 1]

[_Stacy_]

I just like it because it's mindless and much easier to get dressed in the morning. LoL

Great minds think alike!!!

I went to 12 years of Catholic school and I wore a uniform! I remember being in HS and rolling up the waistband after I left the house. But then when in school, the nuns would sometimes measure the length of the skirt--it was kind of funny----and then of course once you left school, you rolled up the waistband again....

[irishrose]

I always wore boxers under my skirt....lots of stairs in my school. I was only there for ninth grade though.

[_Stacy_]

The skirts and shorts at her school must be knee-length, so that takes the fun out of rolling up the waistband.

Hey, great minds think alike, Joanne!

 

No, we call them skirts. Kilts are ... kilts, you know plaid/tartan scottish skirts??? That's what highschool uniforms have been for years here. We have 2 school boards here that are publicly funded: Public and Catholic. The Catholic high schools wear uniforms and have traditionally had a school "tartan". You can tell what school a kid goes to by their tartan. (The boys wear pants). The public schools do not generally have uniforms. Uniforms seem to be getting more popular here, though, for the level playing field reason.

[irishrose]

Oh, the trickery!

[imanurse55]

Oh yeah, forgot about the boxers- or else we wore "biker shorts" under the uniform

[irishrose]

Are the boys pants plaid?

[Colleenka]

I went to public schools and remember girls pulling the back of my shirt neck down to look at the tag of my shirt to see if it was name brand in 7th grade!

[irishrose]

Yeah, biker shorts would've probably worked better.

[Colleenka]

No, the boy's pants are usually gray or black. But now the girls wear pants too, I guess. I haven't seen them going to the bus in uniform yet

[_Stacy_]

We have that here, too, except that the Catholic schools typically have a shirt with an emblem instead of being plain. The public schools have logos, too, but mostly on t-shirts that the kids can wear on "spirit days" or Fridays. We are hoping to be able to send the girls to private high schools since the public ones here suck. That's pretty far off, though. LoL

[irishrose]

Hey, we are getting extremely close to 4,000! Who will it be???

[imanurse55]

I had a "tartan" plaid- you could always tell where someone went to school (Catholic) by the plaid of their uniform.

 

We have that rule at work- as far as shorts go- we are allowed to wear shorts to work on Friday's but they need to come to the knee

 

Oh, by the way everyone- happy 9-9-09

[_Stacy_]

Oh, today is 9/9/09! LoL I put that on my check yesterday and the karate coach told me I was getting ahead of myself.

[Colleenka]

9/9/9 cool! I didn't notice that. That's good about the shorts dress code at work. I had a co-worker once who just didn't get the whole dress respectfully thing.

[imanurse55]

Wow- can't believe we have almost hit 4,000 posts in this CAL- and how far we have come from talking about cleaning- to talking about everything but:yes:lol

[irishrose]

Right back atchya, Joanne!

 

A girl that I grew up with got married in ?Bermuda? today. Not positive that's where she went, but I know she didn't stay in Nebraska and get married.

[Colleenka]

Do you mean she got married today because of the 9/9/9 thing? Interesting. I never would have thought to do that.

 

Besides, 02/02/02 would have been a cold day to get married.

[imanurse55]

Speaking of cleaning- I did come home to a nice clean house- DH had vacuumed, and looked like he cleaned the bathroom- the dishwasher was empty and kitchen was tidy. But, I think since it is going to rain tomorrow that I'll change the sheets on the bed, dust and vacuum the room and also start decluttering (while the DH is away, I can play (at throwing out stuff that he will never miss!!!)

[_Stacy_]

It's funny to get married because of the date.

[irishrose]

I guess that's why she picked today. Who gets married on a Wednesday???

[Colleenka]

Wow, Joanne. It sounds like DH is very serious about this house selling business.

[imanurse55]

My DD got married on 6-7-8
