I need a place where I can buy sweaters and rain gear cheap, all the stores have hot weather clothing
on sale and I'm still dressing in winter turtle necks..it's cold and wet here most days. Makes a person wish they
were dead, particularly after the brutal winter we had.

Never bought clothing online?

Quick, go back to standard light bulbs! Buy SUV's! Burn your trash! We need more energy consumption and carbon emissions! :shocked:

The problem with buying clothing online is you cant try it out. Just because it says Large, doesnt mean its going to fit like your other Large shirts. Iv noticed some shirts that say Large are skin tight and others arent.

Yeah, I hate hot summers...but I'm not really in the mood for another ass raping of a winter either. Last winter was delightfully lame however, so things seem to be moderating overall.

Yes but I'm difficult to fit and exchanging stuff is frequently a bigger PITA than the purchase is worth.

Good. The past winter here was just hell, more than 140" of snow.
It'll be nice to have some below-average utility bills.

i shop at Kohls.com, free shipping and easy return to the store if i don't like it.
i will agree though nothing beats shopping at the store directly.

Yep, it's the way to go unless your post office is very far away. B&M is nice, but can't match the online deals for clothing IMO.

This weather is perfect. Warm enough for shorts in the day with sun, yet cool enough for jeans at night if you so desire.
The best part is my lower electric bills from not running my central ac all damn day.

What isn't perfect is how everyone I meet bitches about how summer isn't summer this year and how it's "freezing". Then on the days it gets back up to
typical summer weather for up here, mid 80s, they go on about "how hot it is, omg". Yea I heard you for the 3000th time you fucking tool, get over it.

Road trip down to TX, you'll get a lifetime's worth in a day or two. It's been a brutal summer so far, and as the saying goes "it's not even August yet." We've had temps in the 100's almost every day.

Ya, but it's a dry heat

It's rained like every fuckin' day straight for a month here in VT. I've actually had to drain the pool a couple of times b/c the rain fills it up too much. Plus I'm driving my wife nuts b/c I'm a very weather mood dependent person. I wake up, look out the window and see shitty weather and it puts me in a shitty mood. Our yard and fields are nothing but mud bogs. The house is destroyed from all the mud our 2 boys and 3 dogs track in. The driveway has washed away twice in storms. And it's been bullshit chilly everyday. My wife was running the fuckin' pellet stove in June for god's sake! Fuck this shit I'm outta here!

Summer eats shit. I'd be happy if it never got above 60°. I've been enjoying the relatively cool temperatures.

Haha, Every time I call my buddies up in Boston they're complaining about the weather. Lucky I took an internship down in Florida this year!

Mid-70s sounds great to me!

My only complaint is how cool the nights will be when I return to school in central NY in late August. Oh well, that's why God invented jeans and beer blankets, I guess.
