Well, when you get to page 718, WELCOME!
By the times she gets to 718 we will be on 1000+
I'm not even going to try and read back. My friend loves this thread so I'm going to try and pay more attention to it. You all crack me up.
Do we know this friend? Or is said friend a lurker, not a poster?
I think you may know the friend.

they can wear whatever they want just like any other girl or women

Was it the "absolutely" the "no" or the "judgment" that tripped you up?
Amen. And I agree about clothes, heck some things that 10yo girls wear make me shake my head sometimes.
Me too. And I seriously question their parents judgement.
Sometimes I wonder if their parents know how they're dressing. I've heard of kids wearing one outfit leaving home and changing at school.
I would do that in high school. Change in the back of the bus. But I don't remember it being that extreme. I had a catsuit that I would wear under ripped jeans (oh, the 90's!). My mom hated that catsuit. LOL
As well she should have. Really, a catsuit?! I think we all need to see pictures.
I don't think I have any. It was long-sleeved and flowered and zipped up the back. The cloth would show through the rips in the jeans. I thought I was pretty awesome in that. Wish I had the body I had then.
ETA: I feel like I should add this from Wikipedia: A catsuit is a close-fitting one-piece garment that covers the torso and the legs, and frequently the arms.[1] They are usually made from stretchable material, such as lycra, chiffon, spandex.
How did you use the restroom while wearing this thing?! This is why women go to restroom in pairs.
Well, you didn't wait until the last minute, that's for sure!
I'm all about the jumpsuits right now and to pee, you have to undress to the waist and kind of sling it over one arm...let's just say I won't be wearing them to any festivals this year with any kind of port-o-potties because they are exceedingly difficult to keep off the floor.
Also, on the clothing note, I grew up in that part of the 90s where crop tops AND low-rise jeans were in style at the same time, so I'm just relieved that at least the trend now seems to be high-rise bottoms with the crop tops so you only see the upper half of the stomach. Way cuter.
I remember how bad I wanted a pair of low rise Levi's when their "belly button" commercials came out. Remember those?
Definitely! I also had a pair of super-low-rise jeans that had a LACE UP fly instead of a zipper or buttons...klassy klassy klassy. Looking back I cannot believe my mother let me out of the house in them as I think you could see my hipbones above the waistband. I definitely wore those to school though...
I had a pair of pants like that too. LOVED them. Christina Aguilera wore pants in a couple videos that laced up on the hips, and I wanted a pair so bad!
ETA: Although the fashion may be different, I suppose teenage girls are the same lol.
Right? I see them around and I'm mostly just relieved that there aren't visible g-strings like when I was their age. The leggings and crop tops are not nearly as offensive or revealing, thankfully. And I love that lots of very loose, flowy tops and dresses are trendy now. Way better than those painted-on ultra low-rise jeans and tube tops I loved...not to mention the platforms and huge wedge heels. I had a pair of six-inch wedge sandals that laced up my calves too about fifteen years ago...eesh. Ooh, and the huge chunky highlights on the flatironed hair.
I'm not even 30 yet so it's a little early for pearl-clutching but I seriously think teenagers today don't look nearly as, uh, trashy as my high school classmates did.
Oh ya, I forgot about that... I wasn't one to have my underwear hanging out, but there were lots of girls out like that. I guess I can no longer talk about "kids these days" when it comes to fashion choices

I remember girls used to pull their thong up on purpose so it was showing and the Head Teacher called a girls assembly in school to stop it from happening.
Ps. When I'm on this board I find myself constantly questioning if I should Americanize words cos a lot of you are from there. I've thought this about Mum/Mom, sunbeds/tanning beds, Head teacher/Principal, bum/butt, *kitten*/*kitten* and I'm sure there's more...
Jumper always got me. How does that equal sweater? LOL

I just went from granny panties to bikinis, lol. Forget thongs for me!
Once I made the switch to things I never went back. I have a round butt and everything ends up there anyway. I only wear thongs now. Much more comfortable.
Me, too. Except for TOM week0 -
So I mentioned earlier that the swimsuit I wanted was sold out. My husband felt bad so he went on Amazon and picked out 4 similar suits and ordered them for me. My confession, I don't deserve such a fantastic man, I'm just glad he doesn't know that.

Well, I'm an ex-pat Brit in Canada, who also grew up in a religion for which ex-members use that term. So I understand it. I actually explained it to my kids the other day.

I have to admit I had some of those jeans with the fold down button fly. I believe they were even acid wash with ankle zippers.

I looked ridiculous.

Thinking of making a post on the main forum: 'I just ate a Fibre One lemon bar and it was stale. I ate it anyway, but is it true that stale food has fewer calories?'
How do you think that would go down?

True. Maybe I'll mention that I'm eating them as part of my cleanse.

Mine was (IS) plain black, also long-sleeved, and spandex. Undressing in that thing was like peeling an unripe banana.Definitely!

Oh dear, I still have a pair of those jeans too. Correction: two pairs. One has a band of lace around the top of the pants (can't call it a waistbanc I guess) and laces up with ribbon.
eta: Please don't think I still wear this stuff!! I just hang onto clothes for waaaaay too long and have too much stuff in my closets.
I had a pair of pants like that too. Lace up with a faux letter thong and skin tight.
My all time favorite cat suit is the one from My Cousin Vinnie in the scene where (I am blanking on the actresses name) is stomping up and down the porch talking about her time running out on her biological clock. Full body floral. But if anyone could look good in it it was her.
That's almost exactly what mine looked like, but I wasn't brave enough to wear it without jeans over it.0 -

FIL had a GREAT day yesterday, and is expected to continue right along (slowly) on the (long) road to recovery, as is common with heart patients. He has even transitioned back to normal eating and has started making sense of the last week's confusion and chaos all on his own. This is a huge weight off my chest.
My other half's aunt passed away yesterday. They only discovered she had cancer in early May, and she was supposed to be transported to hospice last night. Guess she didn't feel like going. She was a terrific, big hearted, mildly crazy woman with an insatiable love of spaghetti westerns. I shall miss her.
Confession: It's 9:30am and I'm trying to decide what time is acceptable to start drinking.

Ps. When I'm on this board I find myself constantly questioning if I should Americanize words cos a lot of you are from there. I've thought this about Mum/Mom, sunbeds/tanning beds, Head teacher/Principal, bum/butt, *kitten*/*kitten* and I'm sure there's more...
We've talked about that before! I love when y'all don't Americanize words!! It's so fun learning about other cultures and people. Plus I like when the British people do it so I can test my knowledge and if I don't know I always get s kick out of asking my boyfriend what the word means
Same here! I think everyone should use the words and terminology according to their culture or heritage or region, whatever. I learn a lot of new things that way!0 -
Australian English is the best! I spent a year down under when I was a lot younger and loved all the expressions.noaddedsugarx wrote: »

I just went from granny panties to bikinis, lol. Forget thongs for me!
Once I made the switch to things I never went back. I have a round butt and everything ends up there anyway. I only wear thongs now. Much more comfortable.
Same here. I sleep in boy shorts, though.0 -
@noaddedsugarx THANK YOU! That is such a nice thing of you to say!
I love your new pic! You are so very pretty.0 -
Well, I'm an ex-pat Brit in Canada, who also grew up in a religion for which ex-members use that term. So I understand it. I actually explained it to my kids the other day.

Well, when you get to page 718, WELCOME!
By the times she gets to 718 we will be on 1000+
I'm not even going to try and read back. My friend loves this thread so I'm going to try and pay more attention to it. You all crack me up.
Do we know this friend? Or is said friend a lurker, not a poster?
I think you may know the friend.
She was a hard sell but she finally drank the Kool-aid.
Not sure if that's an international expression or not.
You are so cool.0 -

(Can I tell my children you said that? They think I'm the most uncool and embarrassing mother on the planet. My daughter literally pats me on the head and says "You're so cute")
