The Dinette Set by Julie Larson for March 21, 2014

2004? This rerun is that old? Because as of 2014 none of those pants fit. Well, they fit someone, being pre-stretched and all.

They look like they fit Fatty Arbuckle

Doesn’t matter that both of them are doing passable impressions of beached whales.

I’d like to borrow those pants, the futon needs a new cover!

My, my, my Joy, what sharp claws you have. You wouldn’t want to call your beloved sister fat, would you? Particularly since you are so sleek yourself.

I think Joy is fatter than Verl. After all Verl is single, and Jerry likes her the way she is. I don’t think those pants would stretch any more than they have already.

I don’t think the house coats and PJ,s would fit anyway. She should save them to cover her plants in the winter..

It’s a classic sister thing…thin sisters, fat sisters….no matter who is actually bigger, your sister will remind you that you won’t fit in her clothes. It’s her job.

loveslife is right, I think, too, that Joy is the fattest. She bemoans it but not enough to do anything about it. Sigh…. Joy said once that it’s because she is older. Yeah…..let’s go with that.

I bought a size 8 3-pc evening suit in blue satin around 2004 that was too tight to zip the skirt, but I’ve worn it lately and it fits very loose. No more size 14s for me. ;-DOf course they play with the size labels so much now that a dress I bought last month is size 1 (and is very loose- there should be a zero on that (10)).

I don’t see how they can stretch out any more if Joy’s been wearing them.

FYI: Today is the 329th birthday of J S Bach. Consider his birthday with Burl Penny’s many birthdays, The juxtaposition of the sublime with the ridiculous. I wonder if any of us will be known and respected even 5-10 years after our deaths while Bach is still played 264 after years.
