JM :> > Is there anything you don't know about (g)?!
JM :>
JM :>Plenty of things.  But Richard (mine, that is) knows all of
JM :>those.
JM :> 
Oh, sounds like me and my Richard!  If he's not right (and he's never wrong), 
then I am (and I'm never wrong either!)..
JM :>Ah, Meg, then YOU are the person to ask the question that
JM :>has been bothering me for years.
JM :>
JM :>If nobody makes size 6 men's shoes, then what do boys do
JM :>when they need at man's 6 shoe?
You know, I had the same problem with both my boys.  There was always a 
period of time when they were out of the large boys' sizes and should have 
worn small mens...and there were never any size 6's-7's in the shoes they 
liked.  I think some shoe manufacturer could clean up if they made an 
in-style shoe or sneaker in those sizes.  I guess we just did what we could 
with the smaller mens for a while.
JM :>I'm a big fan of Lee Jeans' Relaxed Rider cut, which has a
JM :>rather fitted waist and flat rear end and tapered legs but
JM :>is loose through the thighs.  The only thing that would
JM :>make them perfect is to be able to choose the inseam
JM :>lenghts as in men's jeans.    They are made of 15 oz denim.
JM :>There's only one pair of jeans I've been able to find that
JM :>fit better (from No Excuses, of all people).
I might have a problem with the "fitted waist" part (g).  Seems my waist went 
more and more south with the birth of each kid!
JM :>But watch out, because men's clothing is slowly going the
JM :>way women's clothing has -- with short, medium, and long
JM :>inseams.  Grrrr.
Oh NOOOOOO!!!!!
JM :>Ditto. I have squarish shoulders and a lot of women's
JM :>T-shirts are too short in the sleeves because of it.  And a
JM :>lot of women's T-shirts are made to wear outside, not tuck
JM :>in, and won't stay tucked in for anything.  I especially
I don't tuck...and most women's T-shirts are too short to wear outside.  I 
like 'em long!  And, again, men's t-shirts seem to be made a little tougher.
JM :>Now everybody's going to start making 'butch women' jokes,
JM :>but heck, who needs their clothes to fall apart after half
JM :>a year!
Let 'em joke!  At least my clothes last a little longer and are 
comfortable..other than that, I really don't care!  I gave up worrying about 
style and fashion when size 12's didn't fit anymore (VBG).
