Guest guest Posted July 9, 2001 Report Share Posted July 9, 2001 I can't buy sets for Nic either which sucks because I see ALOT of cute stuff. Di, mom to Jake(18,nda) and 4 (DS) Pennsylvania Re: (no subject) Tim has short arms and legs too and a very long body. When he sits on the floor next to his peers he is only an inch or two shorter but standing is a good head shorter than most. But he also has a very skinny bum and waist. 3-4 year old two piece outfits are a nightmare, the shorts fall off him and come down to his knees, the sleeves come to his elbows but the body fits well!!

Guest guest Posted September 23, 2001 Report Share Posted September 23, 2001 Manda I was told to bring on any and all clothes - there are still lots of people wearing lots of different sizes. Just be prepared to take back anything that people don't take --- or we will find the nearest clothes drop off place! I am bringing jeans in sizes ranging from 22s I think down to 14s - all petites (Bethie are you out there????) in GA clothes Well, I'm almost finished cleaning out my closet, so here's my question: anyone out there wearing 24 jeans? I have a pair of 24 Lane denim bell bottoms(with sequence on the bottom). I have some other no jeans, boot cut, etc that I can bring. My tastes are a bit flashy some times *grin* I also have a few suits that other MGBers sent me that I'll be bringing. My 18 gal plastic tub is getting kinda full. I also have a nice 2x sports jacket that I can bring if someone is interested. It's big, but very bulky. I never even got to wear it I've been blessed with friends and family giving me clothes. I'll be at the clothing exchange table scarfing up the 16 and 18 khakis and business casual shirts... etc. I have to say that I'm looking forward to the clothing exchange BIG time as most of my clothes are getting too big, but I've only lost like 3 lbs this month. Rhonda sent me a suit that was too small, and I stuck it in my closet. I tried it on today, and it swallowed me Manda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 17, 2001 Report Share Posted December 17, 2001 The only fastners can do are snaps and slides. She has several pairs of pants that are button, and right now the teacher is helping her in the sped room. When she moves back into inclusion after the Christmas break, she will only be wearing slides, snaps or elastic waist pants. Girls are lucky, the leggings are still popular with a long top, and they are elastic waist, has a couple pairs and loves them. I do see a lot of kids at her school in the wind pants and the athletic pants with the stripes down the sides. Those are very popular. Since the school is not willingly doing inclusion, we need to keep her as independent as possible, so we are being very choosy about what we buy right now. Both girls wore jeans (snap jeans as calls them) to school today with long sleeve tops. Since this thread has been going I guess I paid more attention today, I think my girls fit in fine. Out of school, loves baggy and long. Sometimes she disappears for a while and returns with her Dad's t-shirt on. She loves it. also loves to change clothes. If I didn't watch her, she would change clothes on the average of once an hour. Her reasons include " I didn't like it " , " It was wet " , " It was dirty " , or just plain " I wanted to " . Problem is, the clothes she changes out of are now where near dirty, but she puts them in the dirty clothes hamper. On the other hand, if an outfit is truly dirty, it ends up under her bed. We are always having fun on clothes hunts around here! Sharon Mom to , (10, DS) and (6) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2002 Report Share Posted March 8, 2002 Thank you Carol. I know it is all mental but I see skinny shoulders but fat butt and thighs ( loose skin ) and some times I feel fat. I know it's all in my head so that's one step in the right direction.

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2002 Report Share Posted March 8, 2002 Forget the clothes.... if any of you out there have any MONEY you dont want, please send it to ME, ok? i need it for some new clothes, too! i am a teacher and we just got notice that the state is bankrupt and we will not get raises until....well no one actually ever sees another raise in the future. While you are at it, i could also use a few reams of construction paper and cases of kindergarten tablet paper (i use lots of that) and if anyone happens to have a VA senator in their pocket, could you have him do something about the budget? but remember....plain old MONEY would solve a lot of problems for me and that is my first choice. ha ha cathy s in va > Hi everyone and don't get upset or envious.

So I'm not only asking just to us but anyone of your friends and so on who are clothes hogs and just shop shop shop and discard discard discard lol. If I had the clothes to be taken in, I would.

Guest guest Posted June 23, 2007 Report Share Posted June 23, 2007 I have some clothes that I cannot wear anymore. They were all tailored to fit me, so if there is someone out there than would like them, please get ahold of me. The pants are 36-38 " waist with 18 " inseam and the shirts are medium to large. All you need to pay for is the shipping, we can send them C.O.D if you want. There are quite a few, so let me know right away, or they will be disposed of. We are moving and I can't wear them anymore, so will get rid of them. Most are in new or slightly used condition.

Guest guest Posted October 17, 2008 Report Share Posted October 17, 2008 Staci - you brought up a good point for discussion. Clothes are one of the most frusterating things. I live in jackets and layers of clothes to hide my curve. I haven't been in a bathing suit in years and summer is especially hard for covering up. Does anyone have suggestions? Types of clothes - brands etc...that work well to cover yet still be comfortable and presentable? Sara From: Dereise <dereise1958> Subject: Re: Removal of Rods/Fusion Scoliosis Treatment Date: Thursday, October 16, 2008, 12:35 PM I've had all my harware since 1996 except for a screw never fused, so I had to have it removed.

Guest guest Posted October 17, 2008 Report Share Posted October 17, 2008 great topic- my DD is just 13 so has resorted to over sized hoodies- she also likes to wear a more fitted tailored blouse or t-shirt with jumpers- jumpers are popular again and she buys the ones that are lower in the front and high in the back-they billow from the strap down- she wears leggings as well- so two fitted items with a large over cover LOL.. Our big issue right now is bra's- with the hump at the shoulder we have resorted to sports bras, but she is getting chesty and these are not working well- any hints on the bras would be very welcome.

Guest guest Posted October 17, 2008 Report Share Posted October 17, 2008 Hi, I just bought clothes that were loosefitting, whether they were blouses, sweatshirts, tank tops, jackets, etc. As for bathingsuits, I never let my curves bother me me, and now that I have a scar down the center of my back, I don't care either. I wear what I like and, funny, never thought much about what other people think. I did lament some when I went to buy clothes, but after I bought them, no! I enjoyed what I wore. lj From: Dereise <dereise1958> Subject: Re: Removal of Rods/Fusion Scoliosis Treatment Date: Thursday, October 16, 2008, 12:35 PM I've had all my harware since 1996 except for a screw never fused, so I had to have it removed.
