	I am just now getting around to looking at the news and couldn't
	keep my hand from hitting that ol' 'f' key.

	Have you tried the boys department? No, I'm serious. I wear about
	a size 9/10 in the ladies department, when buying skirts. I have
	never cared at all about fashion and have tried to dress for comfort.
	My son is 14 and still goes through pants like you wouldn't believe,
	what with growing and just wearing them out. Since looking for 
	clothing for him at sales, I have discovered that a boys size 18
	seems to fit me pretty well. Now, I still have the problem with the
	waist being too big, if the hips fit, or the hips too small, if the 
	waist is right. However, 9 times out of 10, they are long enough and
	the fit is better than in the ladies section. You can find the smaller
	mens sizes there too. And I know that if you look in the right places,
	you can get the designer stuff that way too. Just not the women's
	designs.
