no hats for me!
I like this one though

[findinghope]

yes i used to wear them every day in winter, but people always laughed at me or snickered or something. i thought they were cute...
i had one that looked like a hunting cap with the flaps on the ears, but it was black velvet--really pretty

[tpabes]

Yep, I have a couple ball caps. My favorite is my Huskers cap. Also wear stocking caps in the winter, gotta keep my head warm.

Awwwwwww too bad yesterday wasn't "Let it Go Day" because I spent Sunday cleaning my house.... Oh well..a day late and a dollar short.


Hats??????????/ I look horrible in hats but I do use them when I am outside in the yard doing yard work. I usually use them to cover up my hair as it starts to get really curly in the heat.

Hanging around race cars and performance parts distributors for a good portion of the last 20 years I have accumulated a ton of hats. All baseball caps. My favorite would be my red, white and blue Studebaker cap with the Lazy S Studebaker logo. The one I wear the most would be the Route 66 Dragway 2008 drag staff hat. It keeps my nose from burning when I'm working.

We sent a message to space 34 years ago. I got the answer yesterday. They said they would be here today for pecan sandies. Who's baking?

Todays question:

Do you ever wear them ?
I wear a Lakers or U of U hat once in a while but that is it.

[kaykay]

No hats for me. I do have a forest green wool felt one that I sometimes wear in the winter, but it would have to be just freezing cold/snowing for me to wear it. It gets cold in north Texas without a doubt, but rarely cold enough to justify wearing my hat. (Actually, I think it looks cute and stylish, but I usually don't want to mess up my hair unless there's good reason to do so!)

P.S. I like the color pink very well and I love pecan sandies!

[DOUBLE H]

Yep. I have several caps and hats. Bronco and Rockie caps for games, straw hats for working in the yard(have had some skin cancer issues), a stetson.

I probably have about 25 or 30 hats and some of them are quite unique, including prior employers, our school district, etc.

I have two favorites. One that says "Marshall - New York City Marathon - 1991" and the other, which I wear most often says "QFLEA.com - The Virtual Flea Market". That and my QFLEA shirt (which I don't wear at the same time) are great advertising for my little online business. When I go to real world flea markets, usually to see about recruiting new vendors, I wear the QFLEA shirt and it is nice little ice breaker leading into conversations.
