I'm glad you got a laugh out of this. That's what I was thinking as I was throwing my shirts out, "Well, at least Tenacious T will enjoy this story." :)<BR/><BR/>Renee: I see. Well, I could do the oven cleaning story sometime. And how I couldn't get the oven open for three weeks.<BR/><BR/>Sage: We probably still have a couple of months of short sleeve weather here.<BR/><BR/>Xinh: Is your shirt red, as well?<BR/><BR/>Carnealian: Oh yeah, there's plenty of color left in it. It seems to be as colorful as ever. I thought about taking it back. Can you do that, just because a shirt bleeds?<BR/><BR/>Chica: It's OK. I know it's funny. I'm just running out of summer clothes over here :)<BR/><BR/>Shayna: I'll take that under advisement. I probably should, lest it sneak into the wash with other clothes in the future.<BR/><BR/>Jennifer: Not far. But I wouldn't let her. I'd call her for tips. But I thought I had it figured out.
