Veering at a slight tangent to this interesting (and humorous!) thread, I had a small "result" myself yesterday.
I found a pair of unworn leather jeans in a charity shop (=UK version of Goodwill) and they were my size!! and they were only £3.50!! (less than $6). Would cost at least £100 ($160) new.
Just a small thing, I know - but on a stressful day like yesterday, it was one of those little events that makes your spirit soar and think there really IS someone up there looking out for you.
Even if S/He Upstairs does have an ironic sense of humour and perfect comic timing. I was on my way home from - stressfully, painfully -collecting the last few items from the ex bf's house, who has a motorbike, upon which we rode almost every weekend.
Many times during our relationship he kept promising to buy me a set of bike leathers.
Now that I have no need for leather jeans, because I have no motorbike of my own and am unlikely to ride on one for the forseeable future, I actually have some....!But cool, anyway.
