-A Virgo woman will tend to dominate a thread on an internet blog. She will inject snarky comments often misspelled and containing questionable grammar. When awarded the QOTD a Virgo woman will never, ever let you forget it. She will bring it into her love life, romanticizing the day it was awarded.

I’m glad to hear you say that traditionalmod. That’s exactly how I’ve always thought of H&M as well.
I’m sorry about the boring part of this thread. But I did meet a very nice man here today, and we are emailing with one another as we speak. I know you might find it useless, but given that I’m not allowed to marry in 48 states, can you at least allow me a little nooky from time to time without all the hassle?\
j/k, Rob. I don’t JUST want nookie, I respect you too much for that.
It was more like a tripod than a pygmy. reference yesterday’s Greek house.

DIBS, I thought only the female pygmies were nude in National Geographic. What interest would you have in a picture like that?
I haven’t read through all these posts and won’t because it seems to have descended into something useless and boring, but I’m responding to the comments earlier in the thread saying H&M is cheap and falls apart.
I’ve been sewing for 25 years and know people in fashion and can say H&M’s clothing construction is not bad at all. It can differ from piece to piece and they do have some varying quality in their different price points but H&M clothes are better made than more expensive pieces from JCrew, Banana Republic and Gap. I can find skirts, jackets and pants that are lined at H&M but those other stores never bother to line anything even when it’s a scratchy wool skirt or pant. Which is lame. H&M also provides extra buttons with their garments, sewn to inside tags and that’s not so common with those other stores. As for how it holds up, I’ve owned and worn some H&M clothes for years. Fashion industry people and very wealthy fashion conscious people totally shop at H&M for clothes to fill in with their designer pieces. And do so because the quality is decent.
There’s a run on the banks????????
