Sandy Member Registered: 03/25/03 Posts: 56 Loc: Colorado	I am so sick of seeing these skinny women on tv. why do they constintly parade them in front of us? I am 50 years old for goodness sake. why don't they parade some of us around. There is more of us then there is of these bony young women they march in front of us all the time. Me, I am over-weight. It bother's me some. But not enough to accept that i need to look like a seventeen year old anorexic. What say you? Sandy

Fat or skinny, I don't think a person should validate their self worth by ads, other people's opinions, or anything else other than how they feel about themselves. If one is satisfied with who they are, isn't that enough? Love who you are, love your family and friends and treat them accordingly, and love your God. Not necessarily in that order. But most importantly, realize that...elastic is our friend.

Sandy Member Registered: 03/25/03 Posts: 56 Loc: Colorado	I couldn't agree with yuo more, Jawjaw (where did your name come from?) I only wish someone would get in there and design better clothes and more choices for heafty (??what would be a good word here?) women. Iknow there are some designs out there but when I go shopping it seems i have three choices of blouses, each in a few different colors. I also notice that women's wear is put right next to maternity (which usually has a larger department.) and children's (a very big department) is right next to maternity. I think i need to go to the whine sections, don't i. Sandy

jawjaw Da Queen Registered: 07/02/03 Posts: 12025 Loc: Alabama	Sandy, Heafty or Heartful? I choose heartful. Jawjaw is a pet name from Daddy. Say Georgia reallllly slowwwww...if you are southern, it comes out jawjaw. Anyhoo...on the clothes thingy...I have found that shopping around at consignment shops helps when I need new, abeit gently used, clothing. I am not that much overweight, but enough. I too get really tired of the same old clothes in the marketplace. Maybe you need to investigate a whole new idea for women of sustance? Hey there you go! You could make millions if you did it right. Now let's see...uh...you'll need designs, materials...an agent (that's me)...

jawjaw Da Queen Registered: 07/02/03 Posts: 12025 Loc: Alabama	I have to laugh that you may have taken me seriously on the agent thing. It's all I can do nowadays to "open a book" much less "book anything!" At least you have grandchildren. My son and his wife have held out three years on me and still no grandchildren. Now they just roll their eyes when I ask for them. Go figure...

Sandy Member Registered: 03/25/03 Posts: 56 Loc: Colorado	Jawjaw, Sometimes better things come later. Do you just have one child? I have two. one grandchild. my son's fiance (spelling???) does not want kids for a while. i am okay with that. she is a bit inmature for having children right now. though very mature in other ways. my son is 21 this month. his love is 19. they own a condo, he goes to school full time. they both work full time jobs. where would you put a kid in all of that? So, i'll stick with my favorite oldest (and only) granddaughter for now. And I feel so lucky to have her. S
