Haven’t tried them, just found them on the Australian Made website.
Hmmm I struggle with those prices. Maybe I can be happy with ethically made but imported. Maybe organic but unethically made?
Nothing is sustainable if it’s not ethical (slave labour isn’t sustainable). I couldn’t find any Australian made t-shirts that aren’t organic

Still not sure about their credentials but better than kmart.
But then I have trouble reconciling company claims such as this:

With prices like this:

UGH
Do we know what kind of breakup? Maybe they are now long distance bffs but she had to follow her heart and live in Thailand and fil had to follow his heart and stay here. That would be best because then you don’t have to fix the gift.

Can you… make it “rustic” and just hack off the last pic? XD
This sucks though. 
I have no awesome solutions. Sorry.

Hard to say without seeing it, but maybe strategic surgery on a portion of the back with a very sharp xacto-type blade, just to access that specific picture? You shouldn’t have to cut all the way around it, just enough of a rectangle to get the blade in to pry the one picture out and slide a new one in. And then I guess some good adhesive to close it back up. That would hopefully keep you away from whatever the wire attachment is, and depending on what the back looks like (standard black cardboard-type?) you might be able to get something like a piece of black cardstock to cover up the cuts after you’re done so it’s not completely obvious.

Or - is there any text you could print on nice paper, or clip from your wedding info to slide into or over that spot?

More like all factories in the country, with city, state, and employment numbers. Was trying to use BLS stats, but wasn’t granular enough.
Part of the issue is that total employment numbers for a company tend to be reported as all being at their headquarters. Tough to find by actual location.

My husband thinks it is strange that I will give times as, for example, “quarter of three” meaning 2:45. I’ve had to explain to him more than once that “quarter of” means fifteen minutes until, not fifteen minutes after. Is this strange? Is it regional? Is he the strange one?
Paging linguist @diapasoun and fellow Philadelphia native @Pbkmaine…

I say quarter to (quarter to three = 2:45), quarter past (quarter past three = 3:15), half past (half past three = 3:30). I am from New England and it is common there (AFAIK). (Also I am Gen X, so it might be somewhat generational, it might be less common now among younger generations?) But it is a regional thing, I think. My California relatives do not say this.
