Ahh, Sue.  Thanks for confirming my mental picture of you as dressed like
you think - in tatters and shreds.  Your whine about how hard it is for
you to dress yourself, ". . . why I go clothes shopping as little as possible
and wear the few things I've found until they are in shreds" was lovely.

Have you seen the lovely things the Japanese can do just by folding old
newspapers???

And here's a hint.  Once I got a box of clothes from a friend of the family
who's husband had died.  Wow. You should have seen all the (free) T-shirts
and shorts and PJs - I wouldn't wear the loud sport shirts - and stuff.  Got
a pair of them on now.  So they ride up a bit. (They're big.)  They wear like
iron.  (Didn't we go into Boxer Shorts before???  Drives the Yuppie women wild)
Anyway, put the word out that you'll wear dead people's clothes and just sit
back and really save yourself from shoppin'.  People are so grateful for 
someplace to give their loved one's clothes where they will be used and
appreciated.  It's almost like organ donation, you know.  This way you can
make social conscience points, save money and save time used shoppin'.
When you walk into a room people point and whisper and you feel proud.

Hope this helps.

Keep chargin'
