uniqlo heattech long john situation

I am a little perturbed by uniqlo. I like the brand and fits me very well in general. Anyway on the 30th I went in to look for the heattech long johns cause it was bitter cold and I really can't wear pants cause the cold winds will just freeze my legs without layering. Imagine my surprise when I can't find it after circling the whole 2nd floor TWICE. I finally gave in and ask an worker bee there and they told me there was a few SMALL heattech long johns(2 in fact) only to see one guy holding both the last two in hand near I was circling a while back.

I go through the trouble and email uniqlo to see what the inventory situation is since the guy in the store wasn't that helpful. I received a response monday 2/1/2010 that none will arrive till next fall/winter. Bummer but what can you do right and I am definately not a small.

I went in TODAY and they have like ALOT of SMALL olive waffle heattech long johns. However there was ONE medium which I snatched and just bought.. Before I went on line I went to a lady in the back to ask again. Is there any other sizes of Long Johns in the back or somewhere. Of course she says... all you see is what we have (well obviously that's not true since some guy told me otherwise just 5 days ago.)

I left really annoyed. I do try to check every week for sales and the thing is... on more than one occasion they will have like no medium sizes of their sale items except like S,L and than suddenly 2 weeks later; the same item, medium size shows up. Wonder what uniqlo's strategy is?

red t-shirt transferred color from sweat to shirt

It was a really nice shirt too. One which I wear to the office. You believe that sh$t?! The red t-shirt basically transferred color because of my sweat?! This is the first time I experienced this and now I got reddish streaks on my armpit area of the shirt. I am soaking it now but it's still red. UNBELIEVABLE.

Indian Spice Stain - Why so stubborn?

On my brand new t shirt.... I think it's tumeric specifically but I used some madras spice (a blend of indian spices) in some simple tomatoes for my spagetti and while I was eating on the sofa at night; two very tiny drops of the sauce fell onto my brand new t-shirt. They are a devil to remove it seems. I even hand washed the tshirt that night after a while but it's kinda noticable yellow spot on solid blue. Washed it again (I even pretreated the spot overnight) and it's still there...

Left some hydrogen peroxide this morning but I think I might actually have to dry it in the sun to see if it fades away... or so an internet search says. Might actually have to drop by the store and get one of those stain pens but quite honestly if It didn't come out with detergent already and spot cleaning very shortly after the stain... don't know if it will be very helpful.

update: didn't seem to do anything so I started with hydrogen peroxide 3 percent and wd40. I didn't keep both of them on very long because obviously hydrogen peroxide has bleaching action and I do not want to deal with an oil stain from the wd-40 (btw talc/baby powder really does remove "oil" looking stains but took a few applications). both still didn't do something but i put it out in the sun yesterday and it got lighter but I can't be sure if it wasn't from the hydrogen peroxide, wd40 since stains always look darker when wet. Still noticable actually up close. Didn't really appreciate someone telling me it could be a tomato stain... Only because I get confused easily.

Easter Sunday Shopping

Going to do some more shopping today. Yesterday I went to Kohls and used a 15 percent off and a 5 dollar coupon on a 7 dollar and 60 cent shirt. What a bargain. Unfortunately they did not apply the 15 percent first in order. Their shopping system deducted it after the 5 dollar off which I thought was pretty neat so you do not have to waste time worrying about giving it in order like some other stores which has these stackable coupons. Basically the 15 percent off was 33 cents and I ended up paying close to 2 dollars for it.

I also got another 75 off 100 coupon from old navy. I already have about 2 months of underwear because initially it was 4 for 12 dollars and than they had clearance last week for 2.99 each... That and socks was the only thing that I got however with a 75 off 100 the leather sandals for 20 off seems like a great deal.

Marshalls have been a bummer the last three weeks and everything in their clearance section was bare or just not worth the discount. You see a few torn up clothes for 5 dollars and I am thinking... who actually buys this? Weird.

What is the deal with Old Navy Boxers?

Old Navy is having a sale on Old Navy Boxers. 2.99 dollars for various prints and sizes. My problem is I brought the medium which is for 32-34 and I am a 33 waist(though I can pull off 32) but it was way too big. Maybe I have skinny legs or butt because I than went to get a small and it fit perfectly. I think I have a regular body but their small is 28-30 inch... Anyone else have this problem. This is a 2-3 inch difference in comfort and I cannot believe people wear their boxers that loose if I follow their sizing at my 32 waist for medium. I had purchased their 3 pack boxer briefs in medium and I can say that it was a little bit too tight at the bottom which further infuriates me because if anything the medium should be fit just right.

Silly you think but I had a discount and it's not fun buying alot only to have to exchange it. Very disappointed because obviously you shouldn't return the one you tried out... or could you? NO NO. please don't.
