How many forehead kisses have you been giving her? Dammit man!
Funny you mention that. There have been many, many forehead kisses. We were hanging out on my deck a few weeks ago listening to jazz, motown and blues and dancing and I also sang to her and since I have a pretty good singing voice I guess it's to be expected.

As far as I can tell she isn't a hipster, I'll ask her how she feels about raw denim but I've never seen her wearing it. She is kind of a hipster when it comes to coffee however.

I don't know if you can consider raw denim hipster when Arizona/American Eagle has raw selvage jeans and tons of companies are putting fake selvage seams on their non-selvage pants. At that point you'd think it has become a tad too mainstream for hipsters.

Dropped the kids off at church last night, met the wife on her way home from work. We picked up my new ambien prescription and then got wings at hooters (Parmesan garlic). Picked the kids up and went home. Found out that I won't be getting state disability while not working so our income is going to suffer while I go through treatment. She cried, I thought that was going to mean I didn't get to use my new boner. By the time we crawled into bed she had perked up a bit. We had sex. Surprisingly lasted longer than usual especially after 8 days of no ejaculation. She had a good time. We slept good.
How in the hell are you not getting disability while on chemo in California? Serious question.

Would you say... you liked raw denim, before it was cool?

Heh considering I got my first pair of raws 5 or so years ago, yeah probably. But I've always had an odd obsession with denim. Now I just have more disposable income to feed my obsession.

Lets see the history of my raw denim:

#1 -- Nudie Thin Finn Dry Organic Ecru Embro (non-selvage but raw)
#2 -- Nudie Regular Ralf (selvage, all jeans will be raw and selvage from here on)
#3 -- APC New Standard
#4 -- Nudie x Context Slim Jim
#5 -- Samurai VX5000 (This is where the made in Japan obession starts and all are made in Japan from here on. These are also my first jump into unsanforized which I switch back to sanforized for my Momotaro but back to unsanforized after that and continue to only buy unsanforized denim)
#6 -- Blue Owl x Momotaro 008 Stealth
#7 -- The Strike Gold 3109
#8 -- Pure Blue Japan 24-005 (what I'm currently wearing)

I also recently acquired a deadstock raw denim jacket the SExIH18 jacket

I don't even know what all that means.
raw = unwashed denim
selvage = continuous weft yarn (basically the yarn goes back and forth and creates a "self edge" -> selvage. Non-selvage uses individual yarns for each weft pass.)
weft = horizontal yarn (the "inside")
warp = veritcal yarn (the "outside")
sanforized = jeans were pre-shrunk via sanforization method. Unsanforized denim will shrink ~8-10% on the first wash but is in a rawer state than sanforized raws.

Let me write down the history of my denim:

1. My mom bought me pants until I was about 12. She bought me whatever bullshit pants she found at cheap stores.
2. When I was 12 and had to buy my own clothes I bought them at thrift stores generally.
3. Sometime in the last couple years I bought a few pairs of pants online for like $20 each. One was unwashed aka raw. Only one pair fit because I'm a fatass now and refuse to accept it and get larger pants.

Oops you're right I have the BOM006 jeans. The 008 is the latest release so it was on my mind.

And its just a hobby of mine that I can also happen to wear. Some people spend a thousand bucks every few years to upgrade their computers to play vidya games on ultra extreme 400xAA. I just do the same with denim. Though I agree the PBJ 24-005 I went a bit overboard. But I bought them to celebrate a raise of about 20k so big picture not a huge deal. I was nervous of them never being made again (these are 24 oz variety of their very slubby/interesting denim) since PBJ is kind of changing their operation and had a few drinks and pulled the trigger.

But in the spirit of this thread, how often has raw denim gotten you laid?
