Anyone for Coffee? (no boys allowed)

[*Classic*Charm*]

Ladies,

Sorry for the interruption, but I need some fashion advice from you.

So, what do you think of a jeans & sport coat (no tie) look? Something similar to what's depicted here:



And, if time or temperament allow, these follow up questions: (1) how "formal" is this set up? Is this a "wear to work" get up? After hours? Date night?

Gracias

Good one! You're a teacher right? If your school allows jeans, it's good. Perfect for date night, and I'm agreeing with Meg on the graphic tee front, depending on where you're headed after hours. I like it.

ShalotThat's the one - Align. I don't know how expensive it is where you live; but it's rather expensive here. But you say it really works? I wish my dr would offer me more samples.

Thanks Niamh for that site. I will check it out now. I hope I find something to help me. It's so complicated; because I have the chronic bladder disease too (non bacterial condition) and the past year I have had recurring infections, as well. Some days I don't know where the pain is coming from. Anything which will help me is appreciated.

Align works for me. I did try a Philips brand Probiotic that so did not work AT ALL. I couldn't leave the house that day if you know what I'm saying...
So far, it's the only thing that has worked and this thing is so annoying that I will pay for it - it's about $30 - $35 per month around here. I could think of ways I'd rather spend that money but I also like feeling normal.

Thanks, Shalot. Thats good to know. Problem for me with spending the additional money on this suppliment is that I buy other suppliments I need for my chronic bladder condition and also this year the Medicare heath insurance plan is horrid - several of my drugs are no longer covered and therefore they are costing me plenty....over a dollar per pill. I am talking of pills I need 2 and even 6 times a day (one is half the strenght over the counter than the generic prescription drug). It's getting harder to make ends meet but I will definitely consider trying the Align since you gave it such a favorable report.

Niamh, the list of allowable soluble fiber foods is nearly all the things I can eat, too. Thanks for posting that; it backed up my own theories on what I could safely eat. I think I had seen that website before, ages ago and took note of which were soluable but oddly enough, mostly I have gone by trial and error. I just get so bored with my diet. I can eat some meat now such as very lean filet mignon; but mostly I have to keep it to a minimum. I get a little tired of chicken. I like fish, but it's so hard here to get it fresh. Is that they case there also in Ireland? Just curious.

I discovered the wonder that is Ikea today!!

[kasie]

Ri-i-i-ght - so what have you bought? Come on - time to 'fess all.

[papayahed]

I love me some ikea, but yeah....fess up what did you get???

I don't mind the jeans and sportcoat combination (especially with tweed etc) but I don't like the one in the picture... I don't like fitted coats/jackets with jeans; I think they are better suited for suits.

It's quite all right for both work and after hours.

Oh i got a set of church candles which are going to be decorative in a fireplace, bed linen thats really cute and has a cottage feel to it, throw, a wok, dust pan and brush, scrubbing brushes, two linen baskets, tea towels, chopping boards, extention lead with anti surge.. emmm... think thats all i bought but i do have table and two chair set picked out which they were out of stock of and a two seater sofa bed, so i'm going to order them both online together. I love ikea!

[kasie]

Hope it all lasts as long as the stuff I bought for my first home, Niamh - somewhere- somewhere - I still have the sweeping broom I bought some thirty-five years ago.....the matching buckets, washing up bowl, dustpan and brush did not survive Himself 'borrowing' them to tidy up his workshop; can't think why the broom survived, I must have 'rescued' it at some point.

Niamh, is the furniture nice? I've been thinking of ordering a sectional type seating, but it is quite expensive and I still need to buy their covers for it. The thing that I like is that I can invest in the furniture once, and if my tastes change in five years, all I need to do is buy maybe a new cover and not a whole new set. I've seen a good couch last 15 years before it was really broken down, and I would love something so durable. Too much is made to be disposable now, but I really don't want to spend a few thousand dollars on furniture every five to eight years.

[Niamh]

well the sofa bed i'm getting seemed really sturdy and solid. The furniture is quite nice, some quite funky, some traditional and some modern. Bit of everything.

[pussnboots]

can't wait to see pictures of your new place

[motherhubbard]

It's so exciting, Naimh!

[Niamh]

I'll post them in the other thread when all is sorted.
