I don't remember if it was here on the porch...or in the porch HO......we had a discussion about jeans in the past being so much more flattering to a woman's derriere than what's on the market today...It would appear that Levi has heard our sighs, moans and complaints....
Editor-Tested: Jeans That Promise to Flatter All Butts? 4 InStyle Staffers Try Them On | XFINITY Lifestyle Blog by Comcast
Just one little problem....I went to the site named.....out of stock in every size except one... and that in white.....and price was considerably more than quoted in the article. I'm sighing again....even if they were available, I'm just not up to paying over $125.00 a pair...
I think it was on the thread. We were talking about the low riding jeans not being flattering to the ...., especially if it's a big .... because it makes a big .... bigger. Of course if that's your thing...
I found a pair of Gloria Vanderbilt jeans at Ross for $16 that I love. Only had 1 pair though. There's also Not My Daughters Jeans that come up to the waist and actually look like they were made for a womans body. I think they're pretty pricey though.
The only light I can see, is overcoming my own deficiencies. My mother wants me to succeed, to be strong and do well, to know that I will be strong and do well. And I am more determined now than ever, to do so.
I sort of know that feeling. I lost a friend when I was 21 to stage 4 bone cancer. Literally out of nowhere (I may have talked about this before, I have a horrible memory). He was 20. I was 21, his brother was slightly older than me by a few months. We were friends for a LONG time. Both of them were the closest to brothers that I've ever had. Untill then all I'd ever had was a sister 8 years older than me (we are close, but still, not that close). He was snowboarding one winter, and he sat down hard at the end of a run, to undo the bindings on his snowboard. His neck broke, not fatal, but enough that he physically could not move his head. They took him to the hospital, and found that his neck, back, shoulders etc. were riddled with it. And this was one of those guys that was upstanding and nice as could be. Also strong, the kind of guy you could hit in the chest with a sledgehammer and it probably wouldn't phase him in the slightest bit.
He died a year later, a few days after Christmas. He had gone to the Caribbean with his girlfriend (the sister, of a mutual close friend), a day or so after he flew back up to be with his own family for the holidays. Not long after ( a few hours) he was on his deathbed. Her father, a guy who is wealthy enough to take out multi-million dollar loans, tried everything he could to get his daughter home in time to be with him, but she got stuck in the airport due to weather. She was on the phone with him as he died. And they were the kind of couple that you could just instantly tell, would have been together for 30-40+ years. Just absolutely made for one another.
Cancer is [edited] cruel.
So true. I know ya gotta pick yur battles, and I know sometimes you can simply end up with no fight left in you, but I do agree with Matt, particularly if I'm understanding correctly that SIL is living with you but not helping much or at all with your wife......tell her to shove it. I know that's likely not helpful at all, just burns me up to see folks treated like that. Also know how constant pain can just drain you of any will sometimes no matter how strong you are. So sorry you're having to deal with all this. As Iffy said, perhaps at least a separation could help to see how you really feel when not under that constant stress, only you can decide, and I sure don't envy you that, been there more than once due to horrible decisions in who I married.
@Ken_A Gracie helped me to see what you were showing in the map was the horrible storms, not the heat, so sorry that's what I commented on when I quoted your post earlier. I blame it on sleep deprivation, took me awhile and figuring out how to enlarge, just to see where Florida was on there. lol Hope y'alls storms aren't too bad.
I'm so sorry for your pain. Mike and Janet's responses were so great and I hope perhaps it helped a bit if anything can right now. I certainly understand feeling so cheated particularly as it seems you are quite young. Do you mind if I ask how old you are? Most of us here are near 50 to 70's. Not sure how old your dad is even, but as we get older and closer to it, many of us view death much differently than we did when we were young. Also many with true faith in God view it differently, it's not an end to us, only a season. We also see it that they are no longer suffering, but free of pain. One thing worse than losing someone you love so much, is seeing them suffer. I'm not saying this to preach or step on toes at all, I only mention it because in your second post it seemed that perhaps you are a bit angry at your dad for handling it so well. I may be way off base here, please forgive me if I am. Death of a loved one always seems so cruel and so final no matter how you look at it, and anger is a part of that.
hate to see you thinking this way and hope you don't truly feel this way. As mama said, you are truly an inspiration to so many hun!
that sounds wonderful even if a few years off, and I certainly hope for so many that it will materialize. I hate to admit it, but I think I tend to feel more like Ken said below. I'm sure both of us sincerely hope we're wrong, I know I do.
<sadly shakes head> and whispers jup.
Definitely on a list of things I never expected to hear hehehe If ya won't wear a pink tutu, at least take pics of yur purple toes! lol Seriously, hope they heal up well and soon! Painful to walk with bruised tootsies and and a sprained ..... Jup I know it's a thigh, but it hurts up to yur .... I bet, besides, sprained leg just didn't make me giggle. you know I'm not giggling at an injury, again, I blame sleep deprivation.
hehehe oh you clever lad you.
you could always put da pic in ataghere
lol they were horrible, but at least they were better than the aforementioned "guillotine" razors
may be more than is being said, but this is breaking the needle on my BS meter. I can't imagine reps from Martin and Insurance not being right there overseeing the handling and instructing him on how priceless it was etc etc, and really why on earth they'd loan it for that to begin with. Particularly with the article saying something about all the violence in the film. Maybe even needing him to sign something saying he understood how rare it was yada yada. Maybe not, but regardless, it's a shame it got destroyed.
ha I see what you did there.
then why inda heck dint ya put it where she could find it again!
I'm 27. My parents are in their 60's. I am not angry at my father for being so strong, I am in awe of it. I might feel a bit inadequate because of it. I feel like if I ever have to be that strong in my lifetime, I will not be capable of such strength.
I really don't expect my father to live much longer, if my mother does indeed pass (I've read all the statistics, I am not holding out much hope for her. I'm just doing whatever I can to make her comfortable, and happy.). I know him, I know his mentality. If he loses her, he will see himself as a burden to myself and my sister, as well as missing my mother. If he doesn't have that "broken heart syndrome", where a person undergoes heart failure from an emotional trauma, he will most likely find a way to join her in death, thinking that he will provide for us with his life insurance, and eliminate himself as a "burden" to us (as he sees it).
I don't see him as a burden though. For probably the first time in my life, I see him, truly, as a role model. Albeit, one that is impossible to live up to.

Well I just about decided to go to the emergency Room about 10 minutes ago but then I thought of the piss poor docs they have in there especially on Sat night before Superbowl. I am just going to try to stay off of it as much as I can till Monday. Something is not right in there I don't know if I chipped the bone or what but when I went in for my femur and my shoulder they said I hadn't broke my shoulder and let me lay on a guerney from 9pm till 730am till the surgeon came in and then he operated on my leg and told me the bone in the arm was broke too right at the shoulder. I'll just wait till Monday.
All things considered, I think that's a good idea. Emergency rooms are fine for sudden trauma, but otherwise best to be seen and admitted you your own doctor if hospitalization is what's needed.
Which prompts me to re-post one of my past nuggets ::
As many of us know from First Hand Experience (FHE) .. as the .... ages and gravity takes it's toll, not to mention those hours in a chair, things can and do go South at some point .. regardless of your Gender, it's going to happen ..
I have discovered the following at an Amazing Website called Amazon.com .. they appear to have about everything ..
As a low cost solution to be worn under your regular pants, thusly hidden from prying eyes that may or may not decide to "de-ride" you for cosmetic vanity, the following is a brilliant remedy for "Sag .... Syndrome" .. (SBS) .. not only that, .... the price point currently being a mere $6.35 with coupon code "EJWEBBPB" .. .... wait, there's more :: bag Free Shipping if you are a Member of a Club called Prime .. and if not, buy six and till bag Free Shipping ..
A generous range of sizes from S to 3XL should certainly accomodate most butts, unless, of course, you are extremely small or excessively large (keeping in mind Amazon notes that sizing is based on Asian Clothing Measurements) .. personally, I believe the XL's that I have added to this thing called a cart should fit the bill in my case .. although I am very much tempted to order a Medium, which I feel would offer a degree of "compression" so to speak and perhaps help raise my voice tonality an octave or three .. I just have not yet decided if the "Muffin Top Look" is something I want to strive for ..
.. having spent so many years cultivating "The One Pack" .. Really, it's the 3-D foam padding that keeps me interested .. not only should it provide a more Youthful undergarment look, .... that extra padding should also go a long way toward derrière cushoning in any scenario you could think of or might need ..

I haven't tried the not my daughters jeans yet. I bought 5 pairs of jeans 6 years ago when I'd been in the hospital & rehab for 2 months. I lost 75 lbs & had NO clothes at all. I had to get all new from the skin out. I didn't even have a clue what size I was & they were all a bit big. They all have elastic waists so even tho I gained 40 lbs back they still fit. I don't get out much so they aren't even faded. I wish I could lose it all again & find some GV's. Those are great jeans!

I see words........it's like your trying to talk to us
I did a fine job of that. Laid down at 2:14 pm, didn't wake up til 9:30 pm despite that the alarm went off at 4, blaring next to my head, and it goes off quite a few times before it finally gives up......I never heard it. My son and dil heard it plenty!
ohhhhh myyyyy that sounds quite yummy!
Subway, yours sound yummy too!! I do have some pistachio, but so far have only used it in a spumoni recipe that I wasn't all that fond of. Think it was the chocolate that made it not super yummy.
have never quite known which word folks were saying......kinda thought jerry, since jury rigging like willie said is tampering with an actual jury, but I reckin different folks were saying both.
hehehe I'll have to try to remember to tell a friend of mine this. She's originally from Michigan and a die hard Lions fan. I root for them for her if they aren't playing my dolphins or another team I love. I don't really watch college ball, but my son is an Aggie fan......one of his good friends is a Raider, so he does like them also, but would have to root for A&M over Texas Tech
Jup, we gotta make the O line a priority! This new coach supposedly is very pro offense, so hopefully he will.
I'm sure you'll do better than you think, and hope he's around for a long long time to guide you. Definitely let him know what you just told us!
Mostly that is true, the only difference being that my son has used the VA ER to get seen immediately by a specialist they call in, or make an expedited appt with him when he's gotten bad. So they are useful for that. At least the one here.
You need to tell him how you feel about the example he has set as a role model & how you admire him. He needs to hear that & you need to say it. With your mom so sick he's probably feeling bad about himself & inadequate because he can't fix this for her & the rest of the family. What you see as negetivity may be him just trying to let you know to be prepared for the curves life throws you. Life is what it is & there is always a chance to grow & learn from whatever happens.

Levis, 569, 541, 514; any but 501's. They have no .... room at all. Also Calvin Klein Jeans have a nice fit for guys anyway.
For Gals I recall Ropers with no rear pockets looking might sexy, and there is always that brand that Ophra Winfrey used to swear by.
By the way you can always build a .... since it's a muscle.
Lunges of different types will do it fairly quickly with little weight; like a Blesch bottle in each hand for a ten minute course twice a week. Give it forty five days and boo yah!

I just get the Ryders jeans at Wal Mart. They come in lengths and seem to fit me fairly well. Oh and they don't cost an arm and a leg.
In the hangout if anyone is for a middle of the night chitty chat.......and myrany.....what are you doin up at this hour???? I just realized it's 2 am. Maybe later for you, not sure
Here's hoping that it's as non-major as possible, Legs. My impression of you is that you have a high resistance to pain, though, so I'm of course pretty worried that it's more than a bruise.
The original phrase, jury rigging, came from sailing, and was in reference to a quick temporary fix for something called a jury mast.
I think you don't realize how amazingly strong YOU are being NOW.
Once in a while these ladies know what they're talking about, Trik. This looks to me like one of those times.
I haven't researched it, but that sounds like a plausible origin for the term. I also don't know for sure, but I *supsect* the term 'jerry rigging' is the exact same thing, just a slightly different pronunciation which evolved over time... as many things do. My Grandpa Mac used to pronounce 'generally' as genally, and until I was ~10yo I thought 'matter of fact' was one word... he said it 'mattafac' - as in "Mattafac Georgie (grandma's name was Georgia), while your inside, bring me another cold b'yeer."
