this is too funny.....

the thong? hmmmm not much into bum flossing....

granny undies? not ready for them yet...

Lois got a big chuckle reading Shoes thread. I was overcome with hysterical laughter, to say the least. Don't know when I have laughed so hard. Shoe didn't let us down on this one did he???? Whew! Gotta get my breath and stop laughing. Lois, has Dave found this thread yet? Maybe we can keep it hidden a while longer. I notice you didn't give us any information concerning your clothing. Ha! Pretty wise of you. Maybe we can keep this thread going since you didn't comment. LOL!Just Kidding! Of course you all knew that anyway.

LOL.. HOpe Dave doesn't find this thread.. lol

Why should'nt Dave see this? It is silly but not vulgar!

True Zany! I mean its not like everyone here hasn't wore undies before!! LOL

Well, almost everyone...I don't know if fig leaves qualify!

Whatever happened to the old fashioned bloomers and snuggies?

Well the whole subject will be moot point if I don't quit laughing soon I'll be wearing DEPENDS!

Zany you are a hoot!!! Depends!! You crack me up!!!!
Boy I really need these laughs! It does me good to get a belly roll every now and then! One roll too many is why you can't see my thong if I sit down!! LOL

Watch out Mollybee! Laugh too hard and it'll be Depends for you too!

Ya'll ain't right!! ô¿ô

(What with the new stores we can have, maybe I should start a "Horseshoe's of Hillsboro" store! I can sell autographed fig leaves! One size fits all! (or is that Ya'll?) Please specify "Starch" or "No Starch", depending on the wind conditions in your area.


(edited for spelling, cuz there was laffing tears clouding my eyes and couldn't see none too good)

Zanymuse, I was just kidding about Dave seeing the thread. I feel certain he would be laughing as hard as the rest of us, knowing Dave. Nobody has a better sense of humor than he does (not even our dear Horseshoe. "Sorry Shoe!"

AAACHK!!! ROFLMAO!! Shoe is determined to force me into those Depends! If you are gonna make any money at it with me you better grow some giant fig leaves because believe me One size Does NOT fit all!

Good One Zany!

ROFLMAO!! One size fits all??!! You've got to be kidding!! At least they've changed that wording to "One Size Fits Most" (Ya Really!)

Badseed: "Why can you buy store bras up to 48 inches around but nothing bigger than a DD cup??? I am so sick of mail order!"
Don't even get me started!! It's a whole new thread!! I would love to go to Target and pick up a cute little number for $4.95 instead of mailorder $25!

Off to get me another Depends!! Shoe YOU the one who ain't right!! How dare you offer fig leaves in one size fits all?!!! Maybe you should consider putting 2 or 3 together as "one" and then say that is a one size fits all! Then that way if you're too little then it'd be a wrap around skirt! and the other's it might fit just right! LOL

You know, I've been busy all day, so I missed the big underwear party! Between the willowy to pillow comment, Shoe's fig leaf, and Zany's Depends, I've got a pretty good laugh after the fact!

Hey, Shoe, if you'd put a little potting soil in your navel, you could grow those leaves yourself!

Zany: Am I wrong, but didn't they used to call them "Depends" and now they call them "Depend"? I think it might have been a marketing issue... Depends sounds a little iffy.

I just knew those men were reading this thread. I'll bet you could check all the guys' homepages and this thread would be in their favorites! I'm glad to see a few brave souls stepped up to the plate!

Well Weezin, the name may be Depend but as hard as I've been laughing I think the plural form was indeed accurate! So I can Depend upon a Depend but multiple laughs require Depends especially if Shoe is in the room! In that case I can Depend on him to make me need a case of them...now I wonder if Depend (S) are available in a nice thong style...

Update - When all else fails you can always talk to mom. Right? Well, not this time. She's always hated the fact that I always ask for a flannel nightgown for Christmas, I call it fla-nell to ease her distaste since mom has always been a lingerie type person and still is. She had a friend look for a thong for me since she's in a nursing home now. Well her friend managed to find a website that has a set of thongs with the different Muppets on them that will even fit me! I guess I know what I'm getting for Christmas???

It looks like the consensus among us ladies is that although the majority of us do not wear thongs, age doesn't make a difference - it's a matter of personal comfort.

Wintermoor, I had to smile when I read about your kilt. I've heard rumors what is worn underneath them!

Shoe, if you ever decide to go into the fig leaf business my mom will want one that is bejeweled, no starch and please remove the stem? lol

Badseed, I didn't know that grocery stores even stocked bras - the local grocery stores here don't - we have to go to some type of department store. We can get pantyhose though. :o) The next time I take the ferry to Williamsburg I'll take a look-see since that is a tourist area.

i spent 40 years pullin em them outta there, i'm sure not gonna buy something that puts 'em in there.

Shuttlebunny, I am with you! A cheap bra for me is about $35! What a rip off for a miserable device, invented by a man! Big shock huh?? LOL
Carol, I can't even buy a bra in a store where they sell bras! LOL But you can pick up Hanes cotton panties there. :)

I only wear undies with flowers on them!!!!!!hehe


Maybe the DG store can make up some granny panties, thong's and even fig leafs with the DG logo, they would make great x-mas gift's don't you think?????

By the way NotMartha where can I buy a pair of those new beaded thongs??
sue

Oh my goodness. This thread has me PMTL. That third letter stands for thong, of course.

suky

on TV today.. Most of ladies said the thong are the best cuz it wont show panties lines.... I told DH, I should buy thong for myself.. He looked at me and said can you find that in your size? LOL

so what was the first thing he said when he got up off the floor Mini??? cause if mine had said that, that's where he'd have been.

LOL... He was laying on the bed and asked me that question while we was watching TV about thongs.. I was digging into my panties drawer and found my old thong that I wore it about 6 years ago.. I don't know why I still have it.. LOL.. I guess I have to look in that size so I can lose about 70 lbs and fit in that thong again! lol

OH, Zany! I love it... Thong Depends! Why should the urinarily challenged have to suffer panty lines! Perhaps they could put black lace print on them, as well. Oh, dear.

As for bras in the grocery store, that's a new one on me, too. I've seen socks, nylons & shoe insoles, but not bras. I guess picking up a large bra at the grocery would be one way to make sure you got your cantelope home without bruising... they'd make a great tote!

At this point, I have to add to the complaints about large bras. I'm a "full figured" sort of gal, but most of the fullness is around me, not in front of me. However, I am still forced to make that long journey down the display shelves to reach the "harness shop" where all the items look like they were made to be restraints for the criminally insane. They have at least 10 hooks in the back, they have wire hoops in them, and buckles on the straps that could be used on a Saratoga trunk!

I have finally chosen to purchase something called a Sports Bra. They are make of a nice flannely fabric, are made to slip over my head (no hooks), and they basically keep everything I'm covering in one central location all day. However, I find it amusing that I am wearing a 48D sports bra... what sort of sport would I be involved in? The most strenuous thing I do all day is put it on in the morning and take it off at night!

ROTF, Weez! I hear ya.

lol - I had posted this on the jokes forum a while back...

I LOVE my sports bras! I live in them whenever I can. Hard to nurse when you were them. LOL They are great when they are new, but after several washings, they get a little limp, and there you are hoisting the girls around, trying to get comfortable! lol

ruby they are suppose to have them at fashionbug-im going to get me some-so i can be cool! ;]

O.k. Dori, I have a coupon for fashion bug so maybe I will pick up a few pair!!! hehe
sue

OK, I just found this. I thought my daughters thongs were bad enough(yes, they can be seen peeking above the jeans, I didn't know that was designed to be that way) and in the wash I found this little string with a patch of silk fabric on it....it ain't even big enough to be called a thong!!! I asked her why bother, it ain't big enough to cover nothin!! She said "They're comfortable". HA!! I asked her why buy these, she could tie a piece of tissue to dental floss and have more!!

OH my what a fun thread *LOL* away from DG a few days and missing this *LOL*

I wear all kinds, but prefer tongs and boxers.

depend would be really handy when reading this thread *LOL*

I remember when I was a kid and we went to visit family in italy, my cousins had the wool knitted once.....!!

Hi, Zameluzza. I'd probably welcome wool knitted underwear up here in Alaska this time of year, but it sound like it would be pretty hot and itchy in Italy!

Calaliy: LOL! Isn't that new style of thong and baggy pants amazing! Years ago we'd have been terribly embarrassed if our pants hung off our hips like a potato sack and our underwear stuck out the top... now its chic! Personally, I think most of the fashion crazes for young people are just invented to drive parents crazy. Silky postage stamp undies can certainly do that!

Perhaps the parents and grandparents of the world should develop their own rebelious fashion statement. What would embarrass and shock our teens?

yeh my grandma used to knit the woolies for them *LOL*

I had some to, but they where to be worn on top of the other once in winter time (skirt)

*LOL*

Just noticed this tread. Granny Panties for me EXCEPT I need the high thigh one. It keeps the leg elastic off my arthritic hip and inflamed bursa. LOL

I am here to tell you all, yes, they have them at Fashion Bug, all the way up to plus sizes! You can even buy what I called 'pre-boobed' bras. LOL I have been so out of the fashion stuff for so long! When I worked there last year, I was amazed at the lack of fabric thongs, then saw the bras that come with pillows in them and water balloons. LOL Hard to believe I was voted best dressed in high school..........

OK, I'm going to throw out the bait again:

"Perhaps the parents and grandparents of the world should develop their own rebelious fashion statement. What would embarrass and shock our teens?"

Here's one of my ideas... those of us that are parents or grandparents could begin wearing boxer short with embarrassing baby picture of our children printed on the waist band. Then we could wear baggy double-knit pants so that the pictures peak out! Those kids would be horrified! There is an old saying, "Avenge yourself, live long enough to be a problem to your children."
