My belt has one belt hole that makes my pants too tight, and then other is too loose. Do I need belt and suspenders now!? Is that how this happens?

This is why I got a ratcheting belt.

Well, two ratcheting belts, actually. The first one I got was cheap, and the ratcheting mechanism was so bad that just breathing in would cause it to slip. If you do buy one, make sure you get something with a quality buckle.

Nah, this is how you decide to have an extra slice of cake until the loose one is just right.

Dr Owl's orders. More flan for me!

I used to have one but the belt disintegrated. I need to see if I still have that buckle.

I prefer stretch belts. I've had an Arcade belt for 5 years, still going strong. Also have a braided stretch belt of unknown branding that was given to me as a gift that I also like.

I scoffed at stretch clothing when I was younger. I scoff no more. I am so much more comfortable now. I will look into stretchy belts.

My favorite belts are also stretchy..and without holes.

I have the stomach flu, which is obviously unpleasant but I slept in the guest room last night so as to not get my wife/baby sick. I'm pretty sure that was the first night since the night before the wedding where I got to sleep alone with no baby, pets, or wife to wake me.

I slept about 14 hours.

Customer: "Can you adjust my package?"
(Referring to his cable package)

Uhh, that's a little forward. Maybe buy me dinner first?

(I work in Accounts Receivable now, so I transferred him to Customer Service so THEY can adjust his package.)

That's the kind of service I wouldn't complain about!
