Did Kurt really wear all that much flannel? I remember him more in Bert and Ernie striped shirts with thrift store old man sweaters covered in stains and holes. Not positive as I wasn’t a fan. I think the flannel was more Pearl Jam, Seattle grunge. I buy my husband lightweight, slim fit flannel shirts. They are tapered, not the bulky boxy kind, though he has a few of those for working outside. He is in a bluegrass band, so he likes the lightweight ones, too hot otherwise.
I used to not be a big fan of flannel, and yet every Christmas without fail my FIL would buy me a flannel shirt, because he wore them all the time. I still don't buy them for myself, but as I have six or eight in my closet I wear them occasionally.
"Women are one of the strongest types of humans"? Really? How many "types of humans" are we talking about, Conner? I mean, "one of" seems like it would imply at a minimum three, because otherwise you could just say "strongest" or "second strongest", right? I do get the feeling Conner there might be looking for a seat on the anti-trans train, with his weirdly insistent way of going "Ovaries are women. Women are ovaries."
Well I was a babby once, and I was in a womb, and I did not eat my twin (I let her live), because I am mister love all. And I want to be on the news some day.
IK, R? Mebbe I ate (or just absorbed) a twin and have no awareness of the event. Heck, maybe there were THREE of us originally! I’M JUST A MONSTER!! (runs off sobbing)
I’m sorry, but I’m afraid I have difficult news for you. Triplets are typically three surviving members of a pair of twins. That’s why you will often see a set of identical twins amongst triplets, and then the sad little oddball whose twin did not make it
This would indicate that you worked up quite an appetite, prenatally speaking.
I do, too! I find they're less sweat-inducing. Maybe my other non-flannel sheets are just cheap, though, idk.
I always used to hit the Wal-Mart sales for the flannel sheets and would buy as many as I could (size and price). That's how I ended up with a set covered in clouds and sheep and another with ice cream cones (I wasn't picky). Since I moved to the UK, though, my old ones are wearing out and they've been MUCH harder to find and the ones I have found are very thin but soft. They've been nice this winter and I'm looking forward to taking them for a summer test drive.
My friends and I in college went through our flannel phase in about 1986, so we were ahead of the curve by the time Kurt was feeling angsty and having chronic "stomach pain" that he was treating himself with heroin.
National flannel day, you say? I was just thinking of what to do with some pretty plaid flannel I had left over from making pillow shams for the pillows on my couch. I think I have enough left for a simple A line skirt. Going to attempt it patternless, but since I just want something warm to toss on at night in winter when PJ bottoms aren't quite enough to fend off the chill, I don't think it'll matter if it's not totally perfect.

The crocuses in my garden have ovaries. They are one of the best types of humans. That is all I have to say on the topic of ovaries.
Kurt Cobain? Ew!
No just joshing you. I do wear a lot of flannel though, from about october to may every time I am home I am in a floor legnth one.
Not precisely grunge, more old lady chic, but I can get pretty grungy when I work, so it counts

More Corgies please!
I was grunge before grunge was in. I used to call it my lumberjack style.
I used to call it “getting dressed.”

I didn't either, although in my case I think it was more due to there not being one there, AFAIK.
That doesn’t exactly work in your favor, evidentially speaking.

Okay, but in that case you’d think I’d at least end up with a superpower or cheat skill or something, right? So maybe it was only me.
I have an irrational dislike of wearing flannel shirts myself, but I do love my flannel sheets in the winter.
I love my flannel sheets year round.

As a Supernatural fan, I highly approve of National Flannel Day.
Flannel ovaries.
I love flannel. Shirts, pajamas, bedclothes -- in winter I can't get enough of it.
I may get some flack for this from some of our Wonketteers, but I believe that Austin, Texas Time is just as imaginary as Mountain Time.
Ovaries!

The kids are alright

Of course, you kind of have to treat yourself with heroin. Doctors just won't prescribe that stuff.
as always Daniel your wisdom is a perfect accompaniment to all genres of snark on the Mommyblog.
Holy crap that was so much better than I even imagined it was going to be. 😂😂😂
