Could you please tell us where similar bags could be purchased?

Thanks!

When I initially read your account, I assumed that your son chose the word 'perversions' as a joke. Regardless, if you found it hurtful, then discreetly informing your son of such is appropriate. If your son says it was intended only as a joke, I hope you can see it that way; if it was something mor...

I doubt the shop has my address or phone number. They might have gotten my contact info from the credit card company, but I don't know that.

How much was the refund for? If it was the full $515 then it all depends whether the credit card company claim the charge back from the garage. My refund was US$515. I believe that the credit card company "charged back" this amount, so this $515 came from the garage. If they do then I wou...

Thanks to all for all the sympathetic comments. Here is the rest of the story. I contacted the California Bureau of Auto Repair (CA BAR). The BAR rep called and got my side of the story, and then visited the shop. BAR negotiated a new, lower price for the services I received: US$100. IMHO that's rig...

I took my car to a local muffler shop to have a broken muffler hanger re-welded. (The car was hit hard by a hit-and-run driver, and our insurance declined responsibility.) This is a trivial job if you have a welding rig. (I don't.) Two men spent ten minutes working on the car. From what I saw, they ...

Sheer compression hose, 20-30mm. I'm supposed to wear 30-40mm, but those are difficult to put on and remove. I have congenital varicose veins; I've had two vein-stripping operations, and I'm obliged to wear my medical-grade "tight socks" whenever I'm not laying down. The tightness helps mi...

FWIW, I do all of my car maintenance kilted. But I'm only working on my own cars in my own suburban driveway, so I guess that's not newsworthy.

UtiliKilts are substantially different. Most UKs are denim and pleated; most of my skirts are cotton and not pleated. I wear a slip ("underskirt") under my skirts so they don't cling; this makes them softer. I generally wear the UKs on weekends and/or when doing manual labor (working on th...

I recall the nothing-is-surrounding-my-legs feeling (others refer to this as "freedom"), and the occasional light brushing of the skirt hem. Hi Stuart, This is exactly the type of items I am after. Great. Thank you. Hm. O.K., the next impression I recall was wearing a skirt outside on a h...

I hope this is OK to ask this: Yes! We welcome polite questions! I am doing an English course at school, and am working on a piece of creative writing. What I was hoping to get was some ideas from the male forum members for how it feels for a boy to wear a skirt for the first time. What does a boy ...

Every day.

I have congenital varicose veins; I've had two vein-stripping surgeries, and I'm obliged to wear medical-grade tight socks for the rest of my life. I wear tights (in the U.S: pantyhose) because they're more comfortable than medical-grade socks.

Sorry to inquire about a USA-specific topic, but I'm confident that everyone else will be amused at this self-inflicted tempest. Recent news stories in the US say that the TSA (Transportation Security Agency, the folks that frisk you for weapons before you board a plane) have tweaked their policies ...

I believe that the DeLorean car used stainless steel for its exterior sheetmetal and had doors that open uniquely like the Mercedes Gull-Wing car. With all that superstructure on the trunk (boot) lid it must have some advanced form of supercharging ram induction increasing the already fantastic hor...

Wrenching. Latest project was an engine swap in our big (15 passenger) van. In the distant past, I've rebuilt some engines &etc. We have an old speedboat ("stinkpotter" to my sailing betters :) ) that I maintain. I've done some minor remodeling over the years; some carpentry and drywal...
