I say we create a nudist colony just for us RA'er's! I mean I would feel a whole lot better, if I did not have to get up and get dressed everyday. It sure would save a lot of my energy and heck no clothes to wash, fold, nor put up!
How many are with me on the nudist colony??
Yeah, I have hair legs 3/4th of the time and my hubby calls me sasqatch, and I am only 5'2"! And he also tells me I am growing a rain forest on my legs. Aaaahh... I am not a skinny minnie that can wear a polka dot bikini
Hey, at least you are aware of your body, because you have a full length mirror. I can only see what my body looks like from the neck up and well... that part looks pretty durn good. Just hate to see what the rest really looks like LMAO!! According to hubby it looks "okay, need a little toning." His exact words and with NO eye contact.
I would settle for a braless shaveless shoeless colony. After 3 kids and breastfeeding if you tried to shoot me in the breast you would hit my knees
BTW, size 10 is the "average" for women. Someone should tell the rest of society this so we don't have so many hang ups about ourselves and our teenage girls can quit being anorexic, bulemic, and wanting plastic surgery when they are teenagers. Skittles - I hear you about the saggy breasts & stretch marks and I am 27
Yeah, I am a size 16 or 18. So... I need to lose a few pounds before I hit the "average" size Hahahaha!!
Joonie I am above average too. Same size as you. But you know, they always say it's a good thing to be above average lol.
Well, my larger rump is genetic, even when I weighted 118lbs, I still had a large rump, that is what attracted my hubby to me
Well, I'm running a size 14 and have plenty of strech marks as well!! My boobs are still fine, even after not wearing a bra but as not quiet a B cup, there isn't much to sag!
Just think of all the money we could save on clothes and laundry and the energy it takes to get dressed everyday! My skin hasn't seen the sun in a couple of years now so I'm sure I'd glow in the dark!
Hey I was a size 14 at one time!
We should arrange our closets by steroid dose!! Yeah,
Well, I have went up a size like every 2 years. Right now I snug in my size 16, working my way to 18, but the 18's I have slide down to my butt crack when I bend over or sit down LMAO!!
OMG...LMAO...thanks Joonie for the laugh...been real sick the past couple of days. I get up to post when fever decides to break. You could always get a job as a plumber...you have the pants for it already lol.
Oh, and when I wear my size 18 pants, hubby likes to Pants me
My kids ask me if I'm turning gangsta when I wear my size 18 pants. What?? I'm not sexy girls??? And then I will pull them lower. I only wear those when I have been lazy about laundry. I think we should all get together and invent biodegradeable disposeable clothing lol.Now there is a sure multi-million $ idea!
Old LoL this thread is great! This'll make you sick...I used to be a size 3 in highschool....O.O until I met Justin about a year and a half ago, actually. He fattened me up to an 11/12! I'm happy like this though. I don't get cold as much!! And I totally understand the not shaving thing. No one has created a nice razor, or a friendly shower yet. :| That's what we should invent. An arthritic shower. WAIT THEY HAVE THOSE! THOSE PREMIER BATHTUBS! God I want one... [/QUOTE]
I was teeny tiny like that when I met my husband 19 years ago. Then steroids ruined my world (which I can't even take now!)! Katie, what is a premier bathtub? OMG!! The premier bathtub is the one they have a commercial for on TV and you open a door and walk in and sit down on a seat inside of it and fill it up and then drain it, stand up and open the door and get out. It looks to be nice! But probably very expensive. Good thing I seem to feel like when you sit in water for a bath you are not really getting clean, but getting dirtier. I would take showers over baths any day
I have never seen a commercial for those tubs. They sound super nice tho. Wonder if you can add air jets to them to make them a hot tub. Can you fit 2 people in them? My hubby gives superb massages and the thought of one in a tub we both fit in sounds like....well...
If any of you are limber enough, do like I do..... I prop my leg
up on the wall of the shower as far as it goes... almost to the middle
of the wall, then there is no bending over!
Oh... oh... I got one... I get hubby to shave my legs with his electric razor when he complains about how hairy they are. He will say something like "Are you trying to grow a rain forest?" And then I say "If you do not like it you do not have to look or you can just shave them for me!" So, most times he will break out his electric shaver and shave them for me. He says my legs are itchy when I prop my leg up on his side when I try to go to sleep.
Premier bathtubs are GREAT. And you can get them with jets! So it'd be like your own private one person hottub!. I'd sit and wait for it to drain. I don't care. LoL and you can get them as just showers too. The nice thing is that it has the sealing door. Open, walk in, close, shower/bathe. Much better than an old bathtub. No stepping over anything. Yay!
Oh yeah, it is heck trying to raise my leg to get in the tub when my right knee is swelled that hard swell I almost fall everytime. I have this thing about hairy/prickley legs....they drive me nuts...I have to shave my legs every day and I still sleep with pants on because I dont like to feel my skin from one leg touching the other when I sleep. If I try to sleep in shorts or a gown I have to wrap one leg with the sheet or I will toss around and never fall asleep. I couldnt do a nudist colony thing....sorry but I have worked in the ER and I know waaaayyyyy to much about body fluids....eeeewwwwwww!!!! Now I could do the PJs all day fashion statement.....oh wait a minute...I already do that!See, thats the one area that I DO like wal-mart for. You can shop in your PJs without anyone looking at you odd. Haha
[QUOTE=arriscolwell]See, thats the one area that I DO like wal-mart for. You can shop in your PJs without anyone looking at you odd. Haha [/QUOTE]
I'm so glad I'm not the only one that does that! I have even worn my slippers! You said they can stand with one leg half way up the shower to shave it????? I'm impressed!! I can even stand up and put my pants on with out falling over!
I can manage to prop one foot on the side of the tub and shave that way, I can still bend somewhat but have NO balance at all! ok... ok.... how about an under-roo colony? You wear panties and/or bra for women and boxers for the guys? Oh and socks on those cold times to keep the toes warm!!
LMAO!! Braless... sure, why not. Just wait until you have kids
Hey I got a question? Does your butt get saggy when you do not wear "granny" panties and just wear a thong or go commando? I mean, not wearing a bra is said what makes breasts saggy. So, if you do not wear panties that hold up your butt cheeks, does your butt get saggy??
LMAO. We can call them NoSags. And since we are women they have to come with pretty hooks for our nipples lol. I would go for a t-shirt and undies colony. Ya know, to hide those tummies we all hate lol. [QUOTE=arriscolwell]Okay. I've got it. Don't forget the hottie that caters to our every whim, want, and need. In VR, you would be able to have your Preimere Tub too!! Ok... this post has helped to shine some light on something... Why oldtimers wear suspenders... Larry King is prime example!
Oh man...LMAO!!! What a mental picture THAT was!!!
Joonie, somehow I can just picture you walking up to him and snapping his suspenders lol. Fwaaaaaatiiiiiiiiing!!!!
If we had VR, I say F*^&%%&&^ the premier tub. I'd have my own private hot tub, with never ending wine and strawberries. And it would overlook a beeaauuuttiiifuull beach. On my own private island. With my own maids and butlers....okay...enough..lol Hey! I have seen a few oldtimers saggy butts in my day. And believe me... it was not a pretty sight to behold! Women get saggy breasts and men get saggy bootays.
It's like the force. It has a lightside and a darkside and it keeps the universe together. Yay :)
yeah, so true Vickilee. Hey! If it makes anyone feel better, my hubby (27) has stretch marks on his hips and buttocks
Gramma - I did not shave my legs until I was 30. I was a hippy but then got a professional job and decided I had to shave. I am lucky in some ways, the hair on my legs is blond. Anyway, it quit growing. I didn't know if that was part of aging. HMMMMMMM I guess I have to accept I am aging but I love not shaving. The bad part of aging is my boobs have grown - YUK - I never wear a bra unless I am putting on my "professional look". For me dressing professional is like halloween
I get so cold since RA onset Joonie - our nudist camp would have to be in the tropics
Oh, and Roxy - of COURSE it would be in the tropics. LoL With an open bar and tiki huts and cute waiters and it would NEVER rain. And stay an even 72 degrees forever. hahaha I wouldn't :( Haha I like my booty! I wish I didn't have to shave my legs and the hair would stop growing. Yer so lucky Roxy. I don't wear heels either. My bum knee and the fact that I am 5'6" and Danny being only 5'8" I'm taller than he is when I wear heels lol. I, too, believe in comfort and live in sweats, comfy shorts, tshirts, sandals, and slippers. Mmmmmm the tropics sound so good right now. It is only 39 here and with the wind chill it feels like 31. [QUOTE=grammaskittles]
Oh man...I will take half of someone's butt cuz I don't have one!!! Danny says that it is cute but I say IT NEVER LOOKS RIGHT IN JEANS!!! And Danny has one of those cute guy butts!!! ARRGH NOT FAIR! [/QUOTE] Hey look at it this way... you even each other out in the bootay department.
As, for me & my hubby... no I have enough for him & our 2 kids LMAO
I don't know if I can do the naked thing though. Knowing what I know about that naked person who hides in my full length mirror, I must protect the public! Seeing me without my clothes on could make ANYONE ill and doing it in front of folks already in a weakened condition would be just plain cruel! Michele's bowels would definitely be irritable after looking at what I've got on display!
Not quite sure that I have the guts. He is always offering me a free visit!
A nudist colony? Don't think I could handle that with my fat tummy, etc.
This thread is funny, thanks for sharing your views.
Well I'm only 23. So that's just not the case. LoL I'm too insecure to be in a nudist colony...I just like this thread. LoL
We need VR. (Virtual Reality)
Like the matrix, only not as hard core.
So we can recline on our lazy little butts - and in the VR world, have the abs and the legs and the tits that we want, with no pain, and no jobs..but all the money in the world.
LOL!

To keep their old saggy butt above their knees LMAO!!
