You ExOfficio guys are really missing the boat. Wore ExO's for a while and they are no where close to being as great as the Tommy Johns. Make the switch

Couple of questions for the ExOfficio guys.
- What are you wearing
- the boxers or the boxer briefs?
- the quick drying line or the odor resistent line?
- Where (website) are you finding them most of the time on sale?

I find them on sale most often on Amazon. See the link i posted earlier. I use the boxer briefs.

I have exos but don't particularly like them. Mine have pilled from washing after only a few times. In addition to that if you don't shake enough I find the last few drops that come out don't absorb into the undies and roll down your leg.
Calvin Klein micro modal are way better. Don't pill and holds things together better.

This was my major issue with the Exo's and one I have yet to have with the Tommy Johns. Exo's are only a step above cotton briefs at this point.

They're $18-25 all day on eBay plus sales and ####, I guess. But yeah... $31 is a bit steep. Not crazy, as I don't mind spending $30 for the right t shirts.... but it's a bit high.
Disclaimer: Have never bought a pair.

When they last forever, worth it imo. I have Under Armours which I've read are comparable at least, and in 3 years they look almost new. On top of how much better they feel, its a great $20-30 investment.

I know what he is talking about. I have the same issue with my under armor. Not like a ton of piss, but the material doesn't absorb the last few drios if you don't get a good shake in.I like the UA ones when I'm gonna really have swamp a ss. Like going to a Bucs game, Disney, working out, etc.
My go to now is Haines boxer briefs. I mentioned in this thread I did a trial between Hains & FoTL, and Haines are far superior.
Cotton FTW.

Got them on this morning after a quick wash last night, and I'm already in love. They feel magical compared to my Hanes. I will probably buy a pair of Tommy John and maybe one other and do a temporary trial run before deciding on which one wins out and I get a drawer full. I just know I'm done with Hanes.

Tommy Copper braces and sleeves. I was totally skeptical of the healing claims made re: copper products, but bought a calf sleeve when I tweaked my calf muscle. Pain was gone in no time at all.

That's stunning. If I'm not mistaken, sometimes those are advertised on certain sports channels in the form of infomercials that you don't even know are infomercials until around ten minutes in. You think you're watching a reality show about high school football players or something, and then, before you've caught on, they're all wearing these copper sleeves and tubes.
Tommy Copper!

As long as we are on high end undies talk, has anyone tried Mack Weldon? Supposed to be great but haven't tried.

Man, if I really thought they'd relieve some of the joint pain in my hips I'd be all over it.
Also, if they had my size of the boxer briefs on Amazon.

I have a problem with my patella tendon in my left knee. I was thinking about getting one of these. Does it work for tendon issues or is it mainly for muscle pain?

The theory is that it increases the blood flow in the area, which I assume would help with tendon issues as much as with muscle pain. I was super skeptical, but needed a sleeve anyway and grabbed that one. The difference was amazing.

My Lowes has them for little over $2 a piece. Very nice looking ones. I bought all they had about 20.

I just picked up the Shark Rocket vac based on reviews here. Wanted a hand held option to do upholstery for...wait for it..
6 year old just came home with lice. Uggh. First for us to deal with. Luckily her 10 year old sister and the wife and I are clear so far. Did the Nix treatment yesterday. Lots of laundry and now vacuuming on tap. Lots if tea tree oil going on too. Any lice elimination tips you believe in?

So far the nighthawk router gets 5 stars. I will try the main test this weekend, by streaming HD on 3 iPads and 2 iPhones at the same time.

I agree. Beautifully done video. Very satisfying to watch. I think I may get a pair for the g/f.

My son brought home lice a few years ago. He was working at a haunted house around Halloween. Probably got them from sharing a mask/wig. And he gave them to his younger brother.
We tried the Nix stuff and it didn't work. I found this treatment somewhere on the net. It worked perfectly on both kids. A couple of coworkers also used my method on their kids successfully.
HOMEMADE, CHEAPO SOLUTION TO GETTING RID OF LICE.
First stop is the dollar store.
- 1 or 2 bottles of blue or green mouthwash. Make sure it contains 20% alcohol.
- 1 or 2 bottles of white vinegar.
- At least 2 shower caps. Probably disposable.
- If you can find them, but a pair of cheap swim goggles (optional).
- A bottle of hair conditioner (optional)
- I'd pick up some dish towels too
Also make sure you have something to occupy the kid. A favorite movie, video game, whatever. You'll see why later. And buy her her favorite treat...ice cream, cookies, candy, beer, whatever. When all this is said and done she's going to deserve a reward.
This whole process could take up to 2 hours depending upon how much hair we're talking about. Seems like a lot of work but the results are worth it.
STEP 1: You're going to SOAK the hair with the mouthwash. This is the part that will kill the actual adult lice (and nits, I think). The alcohol content of the mouthwash is what snuffs the little SOBs.
You're probably going to want to do with the kid leaning over the bathtub.
Find a bath/beach towel that you're not going to mind tossing out and have the kid put it around their shoulders.
If you bought the swim goggles your kid should hold them over their eyes (using the strap will probably make it hard to completely soak the hair).
If you don't have the goggles have the kid hold a washcloth over their eyes to avoid stinging.
Once the kid has their head hanging over the tub pour the mouthwash on to their hair. You're really going to want to soak it. Every strand of hair needs to be saturated with the mouthwash. Don't be shy about it. Be sure to muss up the hair while you do this so the mouthwash can get everywhere.
Once you're sure the hair is totally soaked let most of the excess drip into the tub BUT DO NOT RINSE.
Then gather up ALL of the hair and gather it in the shower cap. Make sure the kid keeps the towel around their shoulders since there will be dripping. And give them a dry wash/dish cloth so they can keep it from dripping down their face.
STEP 2: Now you have to let the hair soak for at least 30 minutes. If the hair is long I'd go for about 45. This is the part where you're going to want the kid to sit (probably on the floor on another towel) and watch a movie or something.
STEP 3: After 30-45 minutes go back to the tub. Take off the shower cap and throw it away. Now rinse all of the mouthwash out of the hair with warm water. Make sure you get all of it. You might actually see dead lice (they look like really small spider thingies) washing away into the tub.
STEP 3.5 (optional). If your kid's hair is really long or tangles easily you can apply a bunch of condition after the mouthwash is rinsed away. I didn't do this with my kids because it seemed like just one more mess. Do not rinse out the conditioner.
STEP 4: Now you have to use the comb to remove the dead lice and nits that didn't wash away. Follow the instructions that came with the comb. This part is a huge PITA for both the kid and the delouser. I did it with my kids sitting on a bar stool leaning over the kitchen sink. This way I could use the faucet to clean out the comb every minute or so...it gets pretty nasty.
STEP 5: Once you're sure you have combed out all of the bugs you now have to get rid of the eggs. Apparently the eggs stick to the follicles thanks to some sort of gorilla glue the lice make on their own. This is where the vinegar comes into play. The vinegar dissolves the egg glue so that you can comb them out.
Go back to the tub and do exactly what you did before with the mouthwash but this time use the vinegar. Be sure to let it soak all the way down to the scalp since that where the eggs are going to be.
Repeat the process where you let the hair drip-dry for a minute or two and then get it all under a new shower cap.
Movie/video game yadda yadda for 30 minutes so the vinegar can do its magic.
STEP 6: Back to the tub to rinse all the vinegar out. Apply conditioner here if you want.
STEP 7: Another PITA round of combing to get the eggs.
STEP 8: Let your kid take a shower or bath and wash their hair with the best shampoo you have. Let her use mom's $$$ conditioner too. Her hair is going to be stripped to hell.
If you follow all of these steps your kid should be lice-free.
Oh, and be sure to put any towels and shower caps you used in a garbage bag and take them out to your outside can/dumpster.
Be sure to hang on to the little combs though just in case. I'd soak them in a cup of mouthwash if you have any left over.
Good luck.

Thanks. I'll keep that in mind for plan B.

yikes. when roverkid got them I took her to a place where they nuked her head under something that looked like one of those 50's beauty shop hairdryers, then used the comb to get everything out. it cost $300 but I didn't have to do it and it worked.
Take a look at the programs that launch in your startup file. Get rid of some of those that are unnecessary and it boots that much faster. It can really boost the performance an older PC.
