The word and can be used as an informal alternative to a word such as however at the beginning of a sentence. I did, however, forget to insert a comma after it. ALSO, I really don't care. Please feel free to wear what you want and do as you will. I think, on another note, that Saga did a great job with everything and I actually don't hate those tighter pants. I'm not going to buy them, but they are not bad. I would prefer that we would let the subject die and get back to talking about the thing that this thread was initially intended for. I'm sorry if you disagree with my views.
