PANTS ON THE GROUND

This time I tried.  I had a conversation with Cookie about this problem and she had a few suggestions on how to keep my pants up.

So, acting on HER advice, I got a piece of twine and tied the two belt loops, back and right side, together a little.  It worked!  It made my shorts seriously askew but I don't care...askew is better than on the ground.

We were out at turtle beach, watching the huge waves, sitting on a rock taking pictures.  Unbeknownst to me the tie (I didn't knot it so I could undo it easily) had come undone and when I stood up down they went.  I managed to grab them just as they hit the bottom of my ass.  Jeez!!  Bill was in the car, quite a ways away and I couldn't put my camera down, so I had to kind of crab walk, hanging on to pulled up shorts on one side and get back to the car.  In this twisted process, I got one of my excruciating charlie horses (I get them ALL the time) in my rib cage and truly I thought I was going to die.  I managed to get back to the car and throw my camera at Bill and double over the other way to stop the charlie horse.

That was it.  New shorts for me...no matter how bad they looked.  We went to the three stores that carry fat lady shorts.  Walmart....not one, its not the season.   Kmart.....not one, not the season.   Macy's....one pair, just one, on sale.  They had started at 38.00 and were now 5.00.  What can I say...they stay up.  Here is a picture.  I tell ya...I have no pride left whatsoever.  TTYL
