(51,122 posts)I have no idea how I did things, learned things before the Internet.
Although I did for decades.
Which is why high speed access should be universal and guaranteed.

(8,217 posts)I have a bunch, and can change more than 3 times per day, every day of the week before having to do laundry.
I sometimes run barefoot.
I have had no one complain about me running without a shirt on.
I'd have said Internet too, but, it's already taken.
So yeah... Undies!

Day 2: Wear them backwards
Day 3: Turn them inside out
Day 4: Repeat step 2
If I run out, I just wear my wife's.

HopeHoops
(47,675 posts)I can't live without them, but they tear up everything, think outside the litter box, steal my water glass straws, hide my glasses (yes, they hide them), steal tooth brushes, piss on important papers, scratch at things that aren't there (like on your legs while you're taking a dump), sleep on clean clothes in the laundry baskets, try to escape from wherever they shouldn't, get on the sink to piss you off, eat from pans on the stove, barf on the rug and couch, and other things that aren't pleasant. On the plus side, they DO kill mice, they purr, and they're cuddles. It's a give and take thing.

(47,675 posts)acted like one of my wife's shoes was a huge bud of catnip. Something went "crash" at one point (no idea what), and they completely scattered a pile of newspapers. And this was all in the bedroom!!! Then again, they're only six months old.

(115,836 posts)I don't know why. Right now he is on the kitchen counter devouring a fern.

(47,675 posts)One of the kittens (I'm pretty sure I know which one) likes to "think outside the box" - even if it's freshly cleaned!

(9,734 posts)I have worn them so long, even if my vision miraculously improved, I'd probably still wear plain glass ones.
