NO!!!! Don't cry Deb!!! You did not make me feel bad!! I can laugh at myself, and I think those photos are FUNNY!!!
Sisters can laugh together about just about anything, because we DO get it and we are laughing together...not AT one another. That is a totally different thing than someone trying to hold us down and make us conform. I hope I didn't sound angry at the jokes here...they always make me laugh
I just think when someone ELSE trys to make you feel bad because of how you look, you need to give them heck!
Big hugs, and I hope you know I love ya too

{{BETTE}}Loves this song so much she wants it to be played at her funeral!! I love this song so much, because it reminds me of YOU !!!! I love You {{{DEB}}}
NOW lets make BETTE happy and "LAUGH" xoxoxo Puppy -
LOL Deb-
I SANG that song my senior year of high school for a variety show. I taped 4 tracks, 3 vocal harmonies and the simple piano part, and then sang the melody live. I think it was the best performance I ever gave in my VERY limited time on stage. I dearly love it and can still remember how it felt to stand there singing.
I think Bette is the Queen of ALL things...love her to bits...
Hugs ladies

I'm with you about Bette! She rules,

You Debs are making me cry now.The Rose is the most evocative, touching song!I can hear it, when I read it.
Puppy, you can make people laugh and cry, watta babe!!
Let's remember it was I who started about my huge panties (and the fat belly showing through the high legs).It's meant to be a fun piece, a pastiche,an escape from a lot of tense threads, not an insult party!I can laugh at myself, and I've always been the class clowness.
You're all beautiful.Because beauty, after all, originates in the mind and soul.
Love you(s). -
UHHHHHH Bette say's "KICK IT UP ONE MORE NOTCH GIRLS"
Happy times are here again!!!! LOVE YOUS TOO! Puppy -

I couldn't resist:
Here's another one: -
Margaret!Those are my Granny Pants!!
Not the ruffled ones -those are too fancy for me.(But...where would you get such pants....?)
These also appear off-white.mine are white, and I fear it's the bleach in the wash that makes them disintegrate so fast.(Hmmm-next time look for the sophisticated eggshell shade.) -
Eggshell or nude is better under white - doesn't show through...I learned the hard way...
My cousin bought me hiphugger panties that said J'adore on them in silver (on the butt) and I wore them the other day under a thin black skirt..here's the results...with the flash of course, but it was still see through

Well, I am still trying to get used to thong undies ... yes, they don't leave panty lines (I am tired of my panties bunching up or getting a wedgie!) ... but lemme tell you, these are not that cumfy!!
I can't see the new photos from my work computer (it blocks them) but I laughed with delight when I saw them from home!! -
Joan, I have to admit, I thought of you when I saw them, although last night they looked white, but I was also checking the party thread so might have been having too much fun. I agree with Emelee, nude is better than white. And Rocktobermom, I'm with you on the thongs - uncomfortable.
-
Emelee, love the photo, too funny!!!
-
ok I am a reader of this very funny thread..but my 2 cents...lol...
My youngest son's GF (18) was telling me how to get used to thongs...like I need to know...lol...but anyways...heres her no fail trick...just like when she gets a new tongue ring...ewwww...
anyways...she dutifuly wears new thongs to bed...walks around her room with tem on, ..no pants...then after about a week they feel great....sorry girls still think of floss....hi cut low rise for me...lol...
Joan i Love this thread,...and stilll wear my tata shirt allthe time...

Hi MB!!!
Hey...thanks for the story on how to get used to a new thong, or tongue ring.I'll be using those hints real soon- I dont think!!
High cut low rise for me too, and an unmutilated tongue!
I dont wear my tata shirt tht often.Somehow it causes a lot of looks.I dont know if its because this is an urban place, where people wear "fancy" clothes, or if they think I'm an on-looker(I'm NOT going to paint "I'm a survivor" on my shirt).But in mostly wear it around the house, or on known BC days-(the Koman walks, etc). I really love it, my friends do too, but , for me, it's not too fun to wear in the street.
Probably people figure I'm already wearing Granny panties and that's enough for me
Hugs, j -
I hadn't read this thread all the way through until just now. I'm at a cafe that has free wifi, and I've gotten some bizarre looks from other customers due to my guffawing.
I got several pairs of thongs from Lane Bryant a few years ago (yes, they DO make them in big girl sizes). I've only worn them a few times, as they go up my butt no matter what I do. I think I still have a pair or two that I've never worn. I bought them at DH's insistence. I had a choice between those and high-cut string-bikini style (which I've worn before and find comfortable, belly rolls hanging out and all), but he wanted me in the thongs.
I usually wear the cotton granny panties, but I ran out of them one Thursday night and decided I'd rather not do laundry before the weekend, so I wore a thong the next day under my jeans. My good friend, after watching me walking funny down our hall, asked if I was wearing a thong. She recognized "the walk," where you have your drawers in your butt and want to get them out but can't reach back and yank because you're in mixed company.
I do have a few pair of high-cut panties that just won't stay at my waist, no matter what. They roll down under the belly. Most uncomfortable.
After reconstruction, I more often than not go braless, especially if I'm just running around town. I have the "buddha belly" and little tatas (look like a female Humpty-Dumpty) and get all these strange looks. I just stare them down and make them feel uncomfortable.
Oh, and last year when I had my hysterectomy, I bought a few pair of granny panties in 2 sizes bigger than I usually wear, to accommodate the "swelly belly" that sometimes comes after. I still have them. DH could get in them with me. Talk about BLOOMERS. I should use those for dust rags. -
I used to shop at the Lane Bryant stores at the mall but the choices have gotten weird. I still get the catalogue at home with better selections. For panties, I wear the cotton low rise or high cut depending on what is in stock at Walmart or Target. I like Hanes Her Way or Fruit of the Loom. Larry does not care what panties I have on and only comments when they get too God-like, you know hole-y!
Joan, do they still have a good Lane Bryant in Ardmore? I have not shopped in Ardmore proper for many years. Suburban Square I think?
Oh and going braless? I told my dil that I will be going braless next summer and she shouldn't be too jealous because she will be sagging. (note to you guys: dil is married to Larry's oldest son from his 1st marriage and she is 37 so we are only 10 years apart and are more like sisters sometimes!) -
I think it's just something you get used to wearing. I have no problem wearing thing underwear, and don't have a walk to let people know I'm wearing them.
-
Bethie, that was SUCH good Lane Bryant store!I used to shop there before I needed to!They had great clothes, and great sales.
Nooo, Honey.It's been gone for yers.Suki Rosen bridal shoppe now.
Going braless is a very great thing.I spent the years from the 60s, when I burned my 34 A bras, through the late 70s going braless.Being small is nice!By the 80s, I was a 36B, and counting.Too much sagging for the braless thing any more.
Lucky girl ! j -
Lol Mrs Bee!!
"I do have a few pair of high-cut panties that just won't stay at my waist, no matter what. They roll down under the belly. Most uncomfortable."
This is why I wear my highcut leg panties REAL big.
But, of course, then the belly shows through the leg-holes
I have never worn a thong, but haaaaaate when my pants get caught in my butt, and SO know 'the walk"! -
This panty thread cracks me up (pun intended).
-
-
Guess I cannot figure out how to post an image, but the link above is to the "cheeky thong"...perfect for us with bald heads from chemotherapy.
-
Well, Laura, I squinted really hard and I think I figured out what the "cheeky thong" said. It sure fits my situation. Chemo was better than having a boat load of Nair at getting rid of all my hair.
-
Debbie-what does it say?I squinted ,and got my magnifying glass (which just broke the writing into dots.)Still cant read it!
My body hairs have STILL (4 years out from dx) not grown back as they were. I have mangy bald places on my thighs, and other places where REALLY long hairs grow.I dont know how long because I do shave them eventually.But one winter they were at LEAST 6 inches!WHAT??????? -
It says "Its not just my head thats bald, you know."
tee hee hee -
OMG!!!Fantastic!!!True chemo panties!
Thanks, Lauralynnie!!! -
That's pretty cheeky! It was nice not having to shave my legs and underarms. Of course, no bikini lines to worry about either!
Have any of you tried the boy shorts type of panties? I like those, especially the ones that leave no vpl's. -
do you have any idea how long it took for me to decipher "vpl's"? Too funny.
I was having a bad day and thought I shoul dcome here and I certainly did get a smile.
