Well, frell

I had an image in my mind of exactly what would constitute good cold-weather gear for hanging around a clinic parking lot for hours in the winter. An image that derailed a moment ago when I discovered that LL Bean stops making flannel-lined jeans *one size below mine.*

The hell, Bean? I've been this size for a long time now, and it's the first year I *couldn't* shop from your catalog. Reducing your customer pool in a bad economy is a really bright idea, there. (Well done Winter Silks, because I can get the long underwear I wanted from you. Also glove and sock liners; at least one merchant is giving me one-stop shopping.)

Now the question is, do I want to start from scratch or will it be easier to get a pair of jeans and add the lining to them? And shall I go ahead and make/adapt a denim jacket while I'm at it?

ah..... one of the folks who has probably got a mental problem... and has been listening to much propaganda.

i got those at the store when i had the new age store all the time.... "teh ebil people are all part of this well funded conspiracy"
the rest of the crazies thought WE were part of the well funded conspiracy.

i want to know where the money is, because i never got any....
just like i never got to go to any of those orgies where we sacrificed babies and plotted world domination.
no one invites me anywhere ;-p

if its jeans on both sides? no.. probably wont help.
i suggested it because in *some* areas its a de facto uniform....and if you can break the stereotype you have a *chance* of reaching a "hey... you might be an "us" not a "them" after all"

of course right now. well right now with the whole health care thing its getting loud.
i dont like loud
i especially dont like loud and biased and aimed at me.. but who does.
i will be going off for tea and hopefully some rest.... i hope you can also .

oh, and let me know if you do find plus sized warm pants
