Best thermal clothing?

Panty hose will keep you warm.. ;) And they do make hose for men from what I understand.

Some men wear those tiny pants for riding bicycles-- I have a pair, and they're comfy.

It's better than having pant legs get caught in the chains and causing an accident or worse. Nothing wrong with that. They are bicycle pants, after all. Some wear them, some don't. I personally don't wear them for bike riding-- I prefer the natural look, thank you.

Just rolled up your pant or tie with band or rubber. I have no problem with bicycle since I was umm 5 years old.

I actually use a metal bicycle clip. Saves me the trouble of having to make an emergency stop to get something for my pants like I did in 2012, when I destroyed one of my pant legs literally.
 
Could this thread on "Thermal Clothing" possibly cover any wider variety of topics? Counterfeit money, bugs in Florida, athletic cups, bike tights, village idiots...
 
we missed alligators and wind up clocks

and leg warmers, I had lots of those in high school
 
80's/90's re-do!

no prob for me as I have many oversize sweatshirts:D

it's a time warp spawned by the evil doer of Mark's fake coin....

That's probably true, but if I'm turning in fake currency, I'm helping federal law enforcement, in a way. That's how I see it. They can use all the help they can get fighting the war on fake money.

Oh, no! There's a war on fake money and I missed it! :shock:

That's probably true. However, I checked for markings on the coin, and there weren't any there, another red flag. No year, no US Government engravings.

Are you sure it was intended to be a quarter? Did it have imprinted "Quarter Dollar?" Maybe it wasn't supposed to be money at all but some kind of ceremonial coin that gets handed out at special events.
 
do you have to get certain colors or styles, Frisky?

:wave:Reba, blink and ya miss it I guess....or we could all just play Monopoly....

Didn't do it this year. I don't make it myself; I eat it if someone else makes it. I'm not a Lowcountry native so I leave the local specialties up to them. :giggle:

But I do prefer that it have Vidalia onions in it. :)
 
I've met Mark once in person. We had a great time.

As for fake coin, I don't know what I would do if it was a quarter. Rogers Park does have some seedy areas. Be careful where you hang out. I probably won't make a big deal over quarter, but what do I know ?

As for winter coats, I would probably go Northface. Realistically, I don't like paying retail if I don't have to. I would go to thrift stores that sells clothes and find what looks warm and go from there. Jackets are just jackets to me. Whatever keeps me warm is just fine.

I sometimes feed nuts to squirrels. Is that cool ?
 
:D Oh, so what is a specialty of where you're from?

I remember when I first had a bunch of what I tend to overall classify as "Southern" though I know there are various regional specialties and favorites...hub and I were traveling actually to Greenville and we stopped in Kentucky on the way and we saw our first KFC buffet - hub was so shocked about that buffet...and it had grits and hominy and hush puppies and okra - hub never had seen okra, and I don't recall what all else.

I like raw and cooked onions in various things but I know people who just hate cooked onions because it's too slimy for them. I love some lox or gefilte fish with real Rye bread and onions and horseradish.

does that Monopoly money still have all the cool color?
 
:wave:derek was that when you posted - or did Mark post - the picture of you two guys hanging out together? I was happy for you both having a good time:D

I like squirrels ok and I like most nuts...the squirrels are probably quite happy to get some free goodies from you. But it often makes them more persistant about getting food from people and getting into things they shouldn't. It's a kind thing but maybe not the best for the overall population of squirrels.
Maybe you could teach them ASL instead?
 
Try Patagonia. It is an expensive brand, but very well made. Other than that, look for anything made with down as it is the best insulator.
