Thanks Julie; actually I think I will s-q-e-e-z-e myself into the brain one and wear a jacket but I did have to order a new popstickle one at the higher price. Sigh. I don't even know anyone with kids who would want the teensy weensy tiny women's medium shirt. I'm not skinny but I'm not huge. This was ridiculously small. I hope I didn't go overboard getting a men's large because the women's large was so small.
I'm going to check out zazzle :) Annette Annette Kujawski Taylor, Ph.D. Professor of Psychology University of San Diego 5998 Alcala Park San Diego, CA 92110 619-260-4006 [email protected] ---- Original message ---- >Date: Mon, 20 Jul 2009 10:18:30 -0600 >From: "Penley, Julie" <[email protected]> >Subject: RE: [tips] shirt.woot >To: "Teaching in the Psychological Sciences (TIPS)" <[email protected]> > >Hi Annette, >If you want to order the woot brain map t-shirt, you still can: > >http://shirt.woot.com/Friends.aspx?k=9244 > >only problem is, after a t-shirt is offered on that day, the price goes up to >$15.
