How do you all look after your clothes in the heat? From sweat, overwashing etc.

Forgot to mention dealing with tailoring after a hot day. I always hang up my jacket on hooks by our front door when I get home. Let it air out a bit and put away later. Prevents a musty closet.

Nudity is the way

Then you gotta worry about your skin!

That's where the shade comes in. No perineum sunning here! That's really more of an LA thing, I'd wager.

As someone who played softball for years where the African American History Museum now stands, this pic is stunning to me.

As originally built, the Lincoln Memorial was much more breath taking. Like the Acropolis must have looked in Ancient Greece. Surrounding the Memorial with cement, roads, the highways, and even the reflecting pool takes away from its stature.

This is now my favorite pic of the Memorial, surpassing the q-tip photos i've seen over the years.

Slightly off topic question for this group. B&S on this forum.... how long is fair to give someone to respond to a PM if there are mutliple people interested before moving to the next person??

Depends on how quickly you need to sell it.

Normally I give 24 hours or less if I’m not in a rush.

I wasn't in a particular rush, but had an item where three people reached out very quickly. #2 was all in if #1 passed. #1 had questions, then, after I answered them all, went silent for about 48 hours. I sold to #2 who was ready to pay instantly as soon as I said it was his. #1 wasn't happy I bypassed him, I thought he ghosted.

Wouldn't feel bad at all. Sucks for #1, but tough noogies, honestly. No different than browsing at a physical store. He who payeth for the jawns, keepeth the jawns
A willingness to hold would be commendable, but no reasonable person should expect you to.

Yeah, you snooze you lose. If he wanted to have it on hold, he should’ve let you know and offer you some incentive for it. Completely different story if he was your only offer

I mean, sure, it's a bit awkward, but so is getting rejected by a gal when you try to chat her up lol.

Nothing to feel badly about in either scenario, I say.

Is this meant to rub salt in the wound from the time I was your #2, but #1 came through? Not kind. Not kind at all.
