You better watch that one of those extra large women don't run you over john. *LOL We went to John Wayne airport maybe 5 years ago to pick someone up. *DH noted that everyone in the place had jeans on. *He started buying not-blue jeans for awhile. *I don't think there is much of anywhere you can go anymore where most of the folks don't have blue denim on, and the sizes grow just like the people do. I've never been called skinny in my life but not extra large either. *My nervous energy burns a lot of calories I guess. Taria"John" wrote in message ... Once years ago I took Mother with me to Paducah. After spending a day around quilters she said, "You all look alike." Indeed, looking around the room the majority of us were wearing denim skirts or pants with either a patchwork vest or decorated sweatshirt jacket. Most were wearing an extra large size but a few were more likely 2X. Hair color and styles varied but required little maintenance. Shoes were practical. Glad somebody else said the above. If I had mentioned any of that, it would have precipitated a feminist flame war. John We have some friends who live in the British Isles. They laughingly describe Americans as "Those people who get off the tour bus, the men wearing leisure suits, and the women wearing pants with an x-large blouse hanging outside the pants to hide the girth", and asking, "which way to the Castle?" I got a kick out of that description, as It often did seem that way. John |
