On the subject of women's clothes, would you say there's any difference in sizing between 'tall' and 'long' ? - MistletoeMeg Dec 16, 18:12 6
- Since I qualify as almost short and almost every pair of pants I buy is too long, I don't know. -- nm - the liioulu without jingle bells Dec 16, 18:18
- tall are cut for taller people so not only would the legs be longer but the waistband would reach up to the waistline, long would indicate longer... - double dose of zeitgeist Dec 16, 18:18
- generally speaking, i'll buy either. both Long and Tall make things longer everywhere, not just the legs. (unfortunately.) -- nm - Elf Andie Dec 16, 18:18 3
  - That's my problem - all my length is in my legs - I'm actually very short waisted. Guess as long as I don't want to tuck my shirt in I'm fine :) -- nm - MistletoeMeg Dec 16, 18:25 2
    - i'm short waisted too. i just *can't* wear anything tucked in, the proportions are all wrong. -- nm - Elf Andie Dec 16, 18:42
    - I buy low wasited pants. On me they're the right height. -- nm - the liioulu without jingle bells Dec 16, 18:28

TTIS: If I wanted to send a Region 2 or 4 DVD to someone in the US, how likely is it that they have the tech to watch it? nm - ralph wiggum Dec 16, 17:55 8
- unless they are immigrants who view imported movies in their own language, or serious collectors of animae, I would highly doubt they even understand - double dose of zeitgeist Dec 16, 18:42
- you can make a lot of players region-free, but I don't know how techy your target is. -- nm - mafic Dec 16, 18:37
- Is it David? -- nm - Dano Dec 16, 18:28 2
  - dude can play a DVD from Mars. -- nm - Mel Profit Dec 16, 18:48
  - I wouldn't have had to ask if it was David! nm - ralph wiggum Dec 16, 18:31
- What is Region 2? DVD? Region 4? Is it porn? -- nm - Chip Kelly (not kelly) Dec 16, 18:09

  - And...have they actually found anything in the pat downs? -- nm - the liioulu without jingle bells Dec 16, 18:19 9

      - and bath salts. -- nm - kelly Dec 16, 18:52

  - It's all a show. They do that so people FEEL safe, not to make us safe. - Chip Kelly (not kelly) Dec 16, 18:00 1
    - In case they haven't noticed it doesn't make us feel safe, it makes us feel violated. -- nm - the liioulu without jingle bells Dec 16, 18:33

        you didn't buy her a sweater for a christmas present did you? - JenBro Dec 16, 18:04 6
        
        I don't know what I am going to get her. I kind of went looking today for ideas. - Chip Kelly (not kelly) Dec 16, 18:06 5
        
        what are her tastes like? -- nm - loosilu Dec 16, 18:58
        
        no sweaters is all I'm gonna say - when you see it you'll know it's the right gift - JenBro Dec 16, 18:10 3

people who are smart about clothing, please help me. is there another well-known term other than "double-breasted" for this type of sweater? -- (link) - kare Dec 16, 17:40 9
- I'd say that's a standard fashion term - no reason not to use it. And if that is the pic you'd be using you'd better describe it completely. - MistletoeMeg Dec 16, 17:46 5
  - that's not the sweater. i REALLY don't want to call a maternity sweater "double-breasted" if i can help it - kare Dec 16, 17:49 1
    - over lapped lapels, doubled over buttons -- nm - double dose of zeitgeist Dec 16, 18:15
  - that's not the sweater. i REALLY don't want to call a maternity sweater "double-breasted" if i can help it - kare Dec 16, 17:49 2
    - Ah, okay. -- nm - MistletoeMeg Dec 16, 17:50 1
      - though... that could just be me :) -- nm - kare Dec 16, 17:51
- that's tough. can you play up another feature "flattering tie belted", "structured buttoned cardigan"? -- nm - Elf Andie Dec 16, 17:45 2
  - ooh. double-buttoned cardigan. i like. - kare Dec 16, 17:47 1
    - Peacoat styled front? ;) -- nm - the liioulu without jingle bells Dec 16, 18:00
Response from Prudie: - ralph wiggum Dec 16, 17:40 6
- laughing. though he's right about white lies. that kind of crap erodes trust, and without trust, it's all downhill from there - kare Dec 16, 17:45 5
  - True, but if we are to the "take a lie detector test" stage, then this is not a relationship that's destined for long term success. nm - ralph wiggum Dec 16, 17:48 4
    - oh totally. -- nm - kare Dec 16, 17:51
    - After they're married he'd probably want an annual test - like a license renewal... -- nm - MistletoeMeg Dec 16, 17:49 1
      - I am thinking monthly water-boardings may be in her future. -- nm - not2fast Dec 16, 17:59
