    today, I tried on some insulated coveralls I haven't worn since Dec. 3rd of 2006. I know the date because I found a ticket stub for the Cleveland Browns vs. KC Chiefs NFL game in Cleveland in the pocket.

    Anyhow, these coveralls don't fit nearly as closely now as they did then! Seven years later, and I'm not as big around as I was then. How surprizing, yet gratifying at the same time.

    Just the odd thought for the day. :D

    Glad your coveralls fit you more loosely nowadays. Did their insulation help to keep you warm in this cold weather?

    FBG, if your coveralls no longer fit, send them to me! I bet they will be snug, but I'll manage somehow. We're going to have temps in the low 20's to the upper teens for Monday and Tuesday night, with daytime temps in the 30's.
    I loathe cold weather :twisted: !

    Miss Jane, you are being EVIL! :D

    Well, the coverall's worked very well. Tomorrow, it is supposed to be 20 degree's colder. Pardon my english for a moment. BLOODY HELL!

    I'm rather tired of the cold. May we get back to 'normal' winter weather now?
