What we are all curious to see is the LEGO closet!!!

Same!

And can honestly say I don't miss it one bit. If I could easily go my whole life without doing so again I'd be a very happy camper. Somehow I think weddings (once they are allowed again) will break my streakπŸ˜•

Peri-Peri!

But, what about Ben’s Chili Bowl?!

I never had! Where is that? My one question is,

Can they make it spicy??

Historic eatery on U Street NW dating back to 1956.

You need to try a chili half smoke. They also have a presence at National Airport and at the Nationals Ballpark. But U Street is the place to go for the epic experience.

Sounds great, will check it out, thank you!

When? I hope soon!

Ohhhhh!

I went to Ben’s once a week for two years in law school when I lived in DC! There is nothing like it.

Remember the scene in the movie "Mommy Dearest" where the lead actress screams "No wire hangers!"

Be nice to your shirts and give them slightly wider hangers!

Hahah, I know, I know,

 
 By: K-Lo : August 3rd, 2020-16:24
I keep these hangers from the dry cleaners... I have all these wooden hangers that I don’t use, I get your point, πŸ˜‰πŸ˜‰πŸ˜‰

Your shirts will last a lot longer!

 
 By: patrick_y : August 3rd, 2020-16:36
Definitely has saved me a lot of time and money to use better hangers!

Oh! Good one!

They'd be very customizable!

Just the other day I had this same thought because I had just bought a new "dress shirt". I wondered if I should even buy it even though it was nice and discounted. A respected brand

name 100% cotton Hawaian style shirt, as dressy as I get. Well, not quite, I can kick it up a notch by wearing my Piaget, Parmigiani or Patek (my 3 "P"s) which will have to do in place of a tie. Fortunately I have lots of T-shirts to hold me over until th... 

Hahaha, good you got a deal now, when people

 
 By: K-Lo : August 3rd, 2020-17:57
Start hitting the office again, you might not see deals like this anytime soon. πŸ˜‰

For me it is the suits. No suits since March and I don’t miss them!

I do wear shirts occasionally on video calls but now with shorts 🩳

Still wear them, for zoom meetings

 
 By: Cookies : August 3rd, 2020-20:00
I’d wear a blazer with a nice shirt for zoom meetings, but honestly, i wear slippers under the table. Nice collection of shirts there. Do you wear ties too?

Zoom meetings rock, I am an IP lawyer

 
 By: K-Lo : August 3rd, 2020-20:14
So usually really laid back with clothing, just dress shirt.

Wear them with your cargo shorts and sandals or loafers

 
 By: renerod : August 3rd, 2020-20:47
With the sleeves rolled up, and your nice watch pick up for the day. If you’re working from home, they will see you well dressed 😎 Just kidding. There will be time to enjoy your shirts again. For now just keep healthy. Best. RenΓ©

πŸ€£πŸ˜­πŸ˜­πŸ˜­πŸ˜­πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ˜Ž good one.

 
 By: K-Lo : August 3rd, 2020-20:48
Yes, these shirts will just stay in closer for now.

Makes sense. [nt]

 
 By: K-Lo : August 3rd, 2020-23:24

I am the exception it seems! I wear a cotton or linen long sleeve shirt every day - no T's or polo's - white & blues for work days in my groundhog day home office; more colourful at weekends & evenings

 
 By: nomadgiles : August 4th, 2020-02:15
but rarely with cufflinks and no suits or ties worn since the lockdown. I wear waiscoats daily too - handy for a pocket to hold the e-cig

Have only worn street clothes twice in five months..two words

Orlebar Brown...it is now my entire wardrobe... ...  

Come to think of it, neither have I.

Not long ago I went thru my closet and pulled out some dress shirts that had frayed cuffs/collars and ones I no longer wore or wanted, to donate. I had laid out about 20-25 shirts to go. I looked in the closet and still had quite a few still hanging, coun... 

Yup - not since February . . .

 
 By: Dr No : August 5th, 2020-19:27
. . . 1974.

Umm, wow, 1974. [nt]

 
 By: K-Lo : August 5th, 2020-19:43

Well, that's a bit of an exaggeration . . .

 
 By: Dr No : August 5th, 2020-19:48
. . . but not by much ;-) . . .

Would love to see your dress shirts from back then. If you still have them.
