Fellow Texas Bansters, I am thinking about hosting a clothing swap event in my home sometime late January, but am only willing to do it, if there is enough interest. I only have one for sure right now. Let me know if you are interested and what sizes you are wanting to get rid of or find. I live in the far Southwestern part of Mesquite. I am wanting to give up some 28s, 26s, 24s, and a few 22s. I am looking for some 18s. Looking forward to hearing from ya'll.

Keri,

Where in Texas are you located? (I guess I could just look on the locator map that Pam started... duuhhh) Im in SW La and I have several 18's. If we are close enough, Ill be there!

Paula, I am in SW Mesquite, close to the Kaufman County Line, you can easily get to my house right off of 20. Take the Lawson Rd Exit and head North and you are about 2 miles away from my house.

I live in the Mesquite area... just let me know when..

Paula is near Lake Charles, she's more like 3-4 hrs away.

I could use some 16-18's as well and I have some that I don't use that I'd be glad to share. I also have some brand new lady bendovers waist size 34, black in color (more like 14-16) that I need to sell. Think I paid about $30 each for them. I'll take $15 a pair to get them out of my house. Funny, Lane Bryant used to run huge, but these things run very slim.

Some highlights of the clothes that I am interested in getting rid of:

A red satin slinky nightgown with matching rose robe in size 26-28.

A light pink sweater with pearl button with matching pink tank size 24.

A blue jean bustie with black lace...never been worn, size 24 or 26.

A 2 piece party dress, never been worn in size 24, dark blue with sparkles on the jacket.

Jeans sizes 26 thru 24, in different colors.

Several pieces of nice clothing that can be worn as work attire.

The date of the Swap has been set for Jan. 28th, 2006 from 11:00 to 4:30. PM me for directions from where you will be coming from.

I need the 16-18's too, I need to get rid of the 20-26's I have a few bags of them right now and already gave a bunch after the hurricane Katrina only to see that picture on the news were clothes were piled high and strewn everywhere in a parking lot. They were saying they really needed plus sizes so I gave a lot of bags worth of really nice clothes. I have about 3 bags worth now, I am definately near you. Just let me know if you can find someone who wants our old sizes and I am there!

I live in Mesquite also and if you are off Lawson and 20, thats great, I live In Falcons Lair close to Creek Crossing. I have several clothes to give away 20's and few 18's. I am down to a 16 and can still wear some of my 18's that are not slouchy on me.

Jayger, you live right around the corner from me. I live in the KB Homes Pecan Creek subd off of Clay Mathis.

looks like we all need smaller clothes and we are all giving away the same sizes HA!! Funny how we North Texans are all around the same size. I was at the Don Pablos in Mesquite last night and there wasnt a woman in there that was not obese. We have more restaurants per capita than any other in the area I think that helps our obesity problem in Mesquite. I just wanted to give my lap band card to every woman in that restaurant last night, specially since I was only able to eat 1 nacho from my plate before I was full. God I love this band!

Sounds great... I'll set it up in my calendar to remind me.

Even if we can just get together and talk (since we all need about the same size) that would be nice.

I'm new to Texas. How far away are you from Sherman/Denison.

It's funny... it seems like we are all looking for the same size!!

I am probably about 90 miles away from you...just a guess though.

Well, I am too big for anything y'all have to swap - but I would love to meet you, anyway! Let me know if you get together!

Rene, see message number 7 for the date and time info.
