Title: T-Shirt ideas
Post by: LifeOnHold on August 12, 2005, 09:31:29 AM
Here are a few t-shirts I am going to make and wear to my unit:


Dialysis: A Near-Life Experience


Hey!  Wasn't I Just Here Two Days Ago?!


Come On Down!  You're The Next Contestant On 'Those Needles Are Sharp!'


DialySister


Dialysis Is A Big Pain In The A _ _.  (The Correct Answer Is 'Arm'-- But I Like The Way You Think!)



And here is a t-shirt I made about 13 years ago... it needs re-doing because the letters are cracking.  It's a black t-shirt with silver letters that reads:

Still Kicking Death's Ass


 ;D

Dialysis: A Near-Life Experience <- that one is really cool, I had seen it in your signature line and I thought it was very clever. Did you think of that one? or did you see it somewhere?

Actually I thought of that one myself-- I have had several near-death experiences, so I thought the 'near-life experience' tagline would be a good pun.   ;D

love the ideas for your t-shirts. :)Would you mind if I put them on a t-shirt and wore it. May get my mind off what needs to be done while I am there. I'll try to think of some others. Liz 8)

Life on Hold.... You actually looked it up. :)  I was really looking for the passage about burning in the lake of fire and wanting to die but can't!  But, I ran across that one and thought it was pretty good, but I thought the same thing... "10 days my ass." 

At least we can torture normal people on road trips!  Rest Stop  Ahead......  NO... I don't have to go and I'm driving.   >:D

Yeah that's one plus of not having kidneys, I never need to stop to use the bathroom while others do. But then I have to wait for them. I guess I can't win.

Dialysis sucks AND blows

Dialysis. No we won't be your sister.

On dialysis your goals will change every 3 days. 3600. 4000. 3100...

UF Goal = 5500. Yeah it was a good weekend!

If found please return to __________ Dialysis Clinic

The only reason I go to Dialysis is for the free coffee.

 :bump; :bump; :bump; :bump; :bump;

You guessed it ..  I am BUMPing this thread ;)

Why? Because I made a shirt and guess what? NOW ALL THE NURSES in my unit want me to make shirts and they want to buy them!!

The only thing is as I told them, these are NOT my quotes.

So I wanted to ask, do we have permission to use these in our units? (I could really use the money if they throw me a dollar or so ;) especially since I just had a union meeting last night and my store might go on strike!! :()

So far I have only made bookmarks using slogans already allowed to be used .. such as:

But they like the slogan I have on my shirt which is my favourite but is Lifeonhold's which is:

They ALL LOVE that one!! (So do I!)  :2thumbsup; But since I don't  have permission I have only  made one  for myself..

Hey Kitkatz have you seen the IHD store (currently premium members only) where I make Professional quality t-shirts by request?  ??? I also make tote-bags, mugs, shirts, sweaters, bumper stickers, etc. Did you read where I do custom work within 48 hours with your design on any number of items  ???

I even have the "Dialysis Is A Big Pain In The A _ _.  (The Correct Answer Is 'Arm'-- But I Like The Way You Think!)" FOR SALE there and I did have LifeOnHolds permission.

There is a special paper you can buy at any office supply store or Best Buy type store that is an iron on.  You print up what you want on your computer, and then iron it on to your shirt of choice.  They make them for both white and black shirts.  Mind you these are not of the highest quality when you are done the picture looks good, but the iron on is a bit stiff and starts to fray after having been washed a few dozen times.  I still have one I made to sell at shows for a band I was in.  It's gotten pretty ragged, but I have had it for like 12 years.

Well like I said at the IHD.com store the shirts are made Professionally (by an outside company) and are guaranteed, I do custom work and I have any design ready within 48 hours or sooner. Plus I can put the design on any number of items and there is a RETURN POLICY if you are not satisfied. :) The IHD.COM store soon be opening soon currently it is only open for "Premium Members"

OH WOW!!! I didn't really find enough reason to want to be a PM til I just read this! Now I am all excited! Seriously Epoman you should add that! Not just "you get special access to the store" but what is IN the store (that you just mentioned here) ... THAT will get people to want to be Premium Members!!!  :2thumbsup; :2thumbsup;

I really REALLY want some shirts made for me! Of course if I can't get enough money together maybe I will just wait for the public opening :P But I am impatient! :P  :2thumbsup;

Ya, you already said it and we are thinking about it but we already told you I am on disability only working 4 hrs a week and he is only seasonal trying to come up with the money to visit me for my birthday and this is the first time he doesn't have a roommate to help him financially in 15 years!! Money is not something we can just "be generous and donate because we want to". I hope you understand.

Anyway, love the shirts! Keep them coming!  :2thumbsup; :2thumbsup;


added: sorry if I sounded rude .. I really didn't mean it like that as I am just heavy (over 4kg over) and very tired since I only slept 2 hrs.

I really love the shirts and bags and mugs and badges!

What else are you thinking of coming up with??

Did you see how I posted that on the 15th and we had talked on Skype the other night and you explained your situation and Jeff's and we discussed it. I don't know why you felt the need to reply to that post (8 days later) after we had discussed it in private on Skype like 2 days ago. But ok......

The comment I made:

"It should be enough reason to want to help financially support the site  ;) :2thumbsup; The benefits of "Premium Membership" is just icing on the cake"

Was a "blanket" statement and was not directed toward you but to everyone. When a member becomes a Premium Member the main reason is not or should not be to get the benefits, but to want to help the site financially and see it stay online for many years to come and help people with this disease. That is why I said the benefits are just the icing on the cake. I wasn't trying to say anything mean or bad to you.  :)  :thumbup;

Sorry. Like I said I just saw this and I wasn't feeling well and I had been feeling pressured since you had quoted me (that is why I thought it was toward me and got defensive.. sorry). I mean .. I feel like you feel I should support you if I post this much, but I am so strapped I can't even pay my own life insurance right now and am trying to figure out ways to ask my brothers to pay it for my birthday without my mom finding out because she says I should just cash it in...

I am so stressed ... I am sorry I have taken it out on you and I hope you understand. I hope you accept any support I can give right now but I can give all but financial support. I hope that is okay for now. You have been so generous in your offers and I love the t-shirts! Sandman got them and he is bringing them to me in 2 weeks!

Can I post pics of me wearing them? Where should I post them?

I'm sorry if you felt I was pressuring you, I was just trying to help because Jeff expressed to me that you wanted to become a Premium Member because you felt you were missing out on the full features of the site.

Quote
I mean .. I feel like you feel I should support you if I post this much

Honestly, you can post as much as you want and NEVER become a Premium Member, I honestly don't care one way or the other if you become a PM. I was just going by what Jeff told me on Skype. So please don't ever feel pressured about becoming a Premium Member.

As for the shirts, if you take pictures of you wearing them I will make a special thread with members wearing www.mykidneygear.com apparel. You can be our IHD.com model.  :thumbup;

Now we should really get back on topic.  ;) If you like send me a PM.

Suggestions:  Make the cups really small.  Kind of funny for dialysis patients......

Have a T-shirt with a Butterfly at the top and then the words "Dialysis Affect" and then someone stretched out on the floor!

Have a regular size cup with the words "3oz----REALLY" on it.
