I do. I think it is gross not to, but I am also sort of neurotic. I just watched this thing on yahoo about the different stuff they find while testing new clothing. They find all sorts of bugs and yeasts and fungi.
They don't mention how often the clothing is made in third world countries who may use dangerous fumigation methods or the fact that the dyes and stuff they use in the fabrics are skin irritants in themselves.
I know a lot of people don't wash their stuff before hand. Actually I know someone who buys new sheets and doesn't wash them first. No skin off my back (unless of course I tried on your shirt before I purchased it).

If I wasn't so tied down by the need for having health insurance (I just read all the links in d:coffee's journal) I would probably be a "snow bird".

I've been a Santa. It is not easy. The worst Santa experience was terry's though. My dad asked him if "Santa wanted some alcohol." Santa agreed and then my dad brought him a glass of lemon juice with a straw. He had to stay in character. Terry was never santa again.

Yes, but why is the third Santa from the top creepy? Seems like everyone is smiling in that picture - well except for the baby. But then babies pretty much cry most of the time anyway.

A Sicilian message
oops. i previously messed up the title when i called it a sicilian kiss. this is the kiss of death...
Anyways, I was just going though some pics from the summer. I took this one for (e:paul).
it depends on what they are...and how much of a hurry I'm in to wear the new thing.
underwear, for sure. Like a hoody sweatshirt or something? probably not.
and all my son's stuff, cause he's got sensitive skin like his mama.
I wash my new clothes twice. The first time it's to get rid of that shop-smell. Yuckety Yuck. The second time, its a rigorous wash/dry cycle to see whether I can shrink the hell out of them (and they still don't fit!).
I guess that makes me super-neurotic.
