The Great Sweater Brouhaha, revisited

[Guest guest]

One of the gifts I received this past holiday season was a pair of

gold-colored springy things. " Oh thanks, , " I mustered to my friend.

" You don't know what these are do you? " she asked when she saw how stumped I

was by the things in my hand. Not a clue was my reply.

What I was now the proud owner of was a set of arm bands. Slip them on over

your long sleeves and push up. They will stay there. (Brief aside --

apparantly average sized folks like to push their sleeves up, too. Who knew?)

Here's the great part of the story -- THEY WORK!!!!!! I hate sleeves on my

wrist; even the 3/4 length sleeves bug me so I'm always rolling up my

sleeves. Problem is when you roll, you stretch the & #@% out of the wristband.

With these bands, the wrists don't get all pulled out of shape. They are

comfy, too. I've been wearing them all weekend and there have been no marks

on my arms or that binded feeling. Pretty cool, huh?

Well, I have come to the end of my fashion report. Hope everyone had a

wonderful holiday season (could someone from either Canada or England explain

Boxing Day to me, please?) and here's wishes that your saddest day in the new

year is no worse than your best day in old year.
