Aunty Acid by Ged Backland for July 08, 2023

If you bought them 4 sizes to large to begin with – yes.

That’s about right.

Eat too many beans, there’ll be a smell from your jeans.

And then you sell them on Ebay as vintage.

I’ve found a pair in my closet 15 years later and they fit!

Hah! Got you all beat. I’ve still got a pair from 1974 I want to wear again.

Or until you can afford a tummy tuck. Which ever occurs last.

I can beat that. I have three wardrobes: too large, too small, and fits.

I figure anything I haven’t worn for 10 years is fodder for Goodwill. I don’t want it and it’s probably back in style again.

Hypothetical Question?…..with the coffee.

Want to lose weight? Just throw away all those old jeans.

15 years for me, and I think I will let them go. I don’t think I’ll ever weigh 140 lbs again.

It’s until the material starts to degrade…

Aunty, who are you trying to fool? When you bought them they weren’t called denim jeans, they were called waist overalls. It wasn’t until the 60’s that they began to be called denim jeans, and by the 60’s you have already outgrown you waist overalls and put them away to see if they would ever fit some day in the future.

I just went up one size since my regulars were starting to look/feel like skinnies.

I know I’ve had some for about 8-10 years!

I keep clothes I like until they are either worn out or I don’t like them anymore and wouldn’t wear them again. Jeans last a very long time. I am easy on my clothes.

I had Covid in January and lost a lot of weight without really trying. By now, I’m feeling better and all of my jeans fit!

I’ve kept an old pair jeans as an example of what I NEVER want to fit into again.

I have a skirt (faded blue jean skirt) I made in 8th or 9th grade (1971 or 72) that I would love to wear again, except it is too short for me to wear now. I was bolder then in my skirt lengths.
