Iâve seldom worn hand-me-downs: I was so much smaller than my older brother that it didnât make sense. But Iâve often worn 2nd hand (I suppose itâs not 3r4d or more) clothing from stores that sell such things. Much less likely to find your fit on the first try, but priced so you can try again and again⊠and some of the stuff is very high quality indeed.
I do, however, bemoan the state of the world and the nation. FAR too many idjits and misinformed people with FAR too much power to make my life more difficult than it should be.
I wore a lot of hand-me-downs being the third of three sons, but Iâm pretty sure I had some of my own as well. Then my sister taught me how to sew. (Which I did not do often, but stillâŠ)
The world is constantly being âhanded-downâ to successive generations. No matter how the ânew startâ begins, it soon shows the wear â the creases, frays, and scuff marks of its progenitor.
Thatâd be preferable to the rantings of some elder people on the futility of life and other morbid things. Especially if youâre HSP/Aspie like my buddy in Wodonga
Iâm old and was the only boy so no hand-me-downs⊠but a propo this discussion is that I went through my closet and found I have about 50 t-shirts. They were all on hangers (I hang them to dry to prevent shrinking), and the necks got a bit stretched out. My SO says I should just throw out the worn-out ones and give away a bunch⊠But oh. the memories they evoke.

Sounds consistent to me, itâs always somebody elseâs fault.

The first set of brand new clothes I ever wore was the uniform the Army gave me.

I was the only boy with two older sisters, so hand-me-downs wouldâve been problematic

I never had a problem with hand-me-downs. And I like salvaging things that other people broke and set out by the curb.

I wore a lot of thrift store clothes, but since I was the first born, no hand me downs.

We donât bequeath the world to our children and grandchildren, we borrow it from them. Try to keep from breaking it before giving it back.

On that topic, letâs see how many paper towels we can run through before all the trees are gone.
