*shoves mike in Argon's mug (face!)*

So, Mandi....tell us....we want to know, how is NB life compared to SK life? Details please!

- people info

- shopping info

- town info (where the heck are ya livin' in NB anyways?)

- boyfriend info (most important!)

Any regrets? Happy? Content? Satisfied? DETAILS DETAILS!!!!

Sadly yes, we are a nosy bunch. (to be completely honest though, Cloe and CanadaSunshine put me up to this!). I'm merely the one who chose the short stick!!!

:scared: :)

How come other people's quotes come up nicely highlighted, mine just come up looking dumb??

Because the rest of us are "special"

Hmm.... that's weird, Clo-bee... I do not know.

Ok, so... my name is Mandi. I have a problem. I'm enjoying buying stuff way too much. I went to Pennington's again, cause I wanted one more, maybe 2 of these bustier type bras, cause I'm in love with the one I bought a couple weeks ago. They're already half price, and now their having a buy one, get the 2nd 40% off sale right now. Grabbed 2 bras, one in my current size, and one a little smaller. "Hey, I should try ANOTHER size 16 jeans on.", I think. Go look in the sale rack, find some for $24.99. Then I grab some 18's, just in case. (they're actually the EXACT same ones I have, but in a size 26!)

Once again, I think, "no way are these coming up", BUT THEY DO! I continually amaze myself. Now, like the other ones.... I just don't feel very comfortable in them. I MIGHT be able to be ok wearing them with a hoody. But... I got them, cause I WILL fit in them, SOON!

And besides, I'm a shorty (who woulda though 5'6" was short?), and they're too long. This time I bring them to someone to shorten 'em, I'm making sure she has thread that MATCHES!

That's my confession.

that's okay Mandi....it all relates to NSVs.....so shop away!!! (within budget, of course!!) LOL.

By the way, I'm 5'5" and I ALWAYS have to get pants shortened unless I can find them in the petitie length (then they are puuuuurfect). Mr Yoda gets a kick out of the fact that I will buy "capris" and they are the right length for me (ie. full length)....hardy har har!!!

Personally, I'd like to know who the hell these tall women are that the pants all seem to be made for....cause when I look around....I'm the average height....so where are these 5'9" women hangin' out?

How come other people's quotes come up nicely highlighted, mine just come up looking dumb??

seriously though Cloe...you do press "quote" on the bottom right corner, correct? If you do and it still get screwy, it might be because you are editing the quote and thereby inadvertently removing the stuff that says "

" (as an example) stuff at the beginning and end of the quote. If you remove that stuff, it makes it not highlighted etc.

Hope that helps....(see I AM helpful sometimes!).

You gals must have short legs, cause I am 5'4 and I bought petit pants by accident (they were on sale ...thought I'd get 2 pair one was P) and they were too short.

That's weird... and what *I* thought... that PETITE pants were for, like, 5'0"'s!

I'd also like to add, that I think I almost got dirty looks when I walked into Penningtons, from my fellow shoppers. Then I panicked a little when I thought of having to shop in a regular store. I hope I somehow slide into a size that's not quite THE biggest in regular stores.... ya know?

Oh, woe is me. :faint:

ummmm okay....ya....that's true.....I did neglect to mention that fact. *sigh* I do have realllllllllllly short legs.

For someone 5'5", my legs should be a lot longer than they are.

Tks for reminding me of my SHORT LEGS, Lila!!!

:nervous

Just making an observation!! Sorry if that is a sore spot.

Yoda, get a measuring tape, and measure the inside of your leg, from your crotch to the floor, and we'll compare! You too Lila. You're an inch shorter than Yoda, and 2 shorter than me.... we'll see what the difference. *I* don't think I have short legs!!

Thanks for the answer wheezy.

Don't panic about shopping in a regular, HORRAY!!!!!!!!!!

What did Wheezy answer? You mean Yoda, about the quote thing? Psssh... nice brush off! LOL

Sorry, I meant Yoda.

Mandi

I couldn't find a real tape measure so I used a six inch ruler and a piece of string (looked real goofy!!)

My inseam is 30 inches and I buy normal length pants.

Hmm... I did the same, and I too am 30". I know sometimes you can find jeans (or pants) in many sizes and if you're lucky, varying inseams, but not very often for me. They always seem to be at least a 32"

I guess mine must be shorter, cause being 2 inches taller, my legs should be 2" longer. How bout you, Yoda?

I like petites or capris or flood pants and I am 5'6". I might have a long torso and this might be a good thing according to my late Mum. It seems that as you age your spine shrinks. I guess this means that if you have long legs and a short torso when you are young, you may be shit outta luck when you are an old fart!

Oooh, lemme see, this could translate to an individual who has 3.5 feet long legs, a 2 foot long trunk, and then a head.............. Maybe a head. Canadians have heads, don't we?
