"DISAPOINTED IS NOT THE WORD "

 
 
 
 
Thanx to Donna for this lovely graphic)
May I say I am so sorry to the graphic
makers the  animations seem to have
dissapeared since aol's changes this
week.I do not know why? I have tried
alsorts to put this right and I cannot
get the animation to work.They are
still animated in my files and I do add gif.
SO ??????/ I am blaming AOHELL Grrrrrrr My mind boogles just now.
 
I'VE BEEN TO THE SHOPS IN MY SEASIDE TOWN TO TRY DO A HOLIDAY  SHOP.
 
FOR THE USA IN SEPTEMBER I WAS GOING TO SHOP TILL I DROPPED.
 
WELL THINGS DIDN'T TURN OUT FRUITFULL "DISAPOINTED
IS  NOT THE WORD".
 
WHATEVER I TRIED ON THIS BODY OF MINE I LOOKED
A RIGHT OLD FASHIONED BIRD. (HA-HA)
 
WHAT DO YOU THINK TO THE FASHIONS OUT NOW
FOR 2007 TODAY.
 
MOST OF THEM LOOKED REAL OLD FASHONED I
DIDN'T LIKE ANY NO WAY.
 
I TRIED LOTS OF FLORAL TOPS ON AND OH DEAR I FELT PREGNANTAGAIN.
 
HOW THEY ARE GATHERED UNDER THE BUST THEY
REALY LOOKED SUCH A PAIN.
 
I KNOW IF YOU HAVE A SPARE TYRE THEN THESE
STYLES ARE GREAT FOR JUST THAT.
 
AND FOR COVERING ALL THE BULGES UP AND HIDING
ALL OF THE FAT.
 
BUT I DON'T LIKE THESE FASHIONS AT ALL AND SO I
 POPPED TO THE GRANNY STORE. (HA-HA)
 
I STILL DIDN'T FIND ANYTHING IN THERE OF
WHAT I WAS  LOOKING FOR.
 
SO IT MAY BE THAT I HAVE TO SEW SOME CLOTHES OF
MY VERY OWN DESIGN.
 
WELL THATS OK IF MY EYES WILL TAKE IT AS
SOMETIMES I FEEL HALF BLIND ( HA-HA.)
 
NO I DO NOT NEED ANY NEW GLASSES THESE I
HAVE ONLY JUST GOT.
 
AND IV'E HAD A NEW PAIR TINTED FOR THE SUMMER
 FOR WHEN IT GETS HOT.
 
SO WHAT DO YOU THINK TO THE FASHIONS TODAY I
REALY WISH THAT WE.
 
COULD FIND SOMETHING SUITABLE FOR OUR
AGE DON'T YOU ALL JUST AGREE.
 
I DON'T WANT TO BE MUTTON DRESSED AS LAMB
BUT I DON'T FEEL A GRANNY JUST YET.
 
SO IT IS QUITE DIFFICULT I THINK WHEN WHAT I
LIKE I CARN'T SEEM TO  GET.
 
I CANNOT WEAR T/SHIRTS THEY ARE TOO WARM
AND I DON'T LIKE DEMINS THERE SAME.
 
I LIKE CLOTHES THAT ARE VERY FLIMSY AND 
NOT HIGHLY PATTERNED BUT PLAIN.
 
IV'E BOUGHT QUITE A FEW  OF NEWSILK VESTS
I FEEL COMFY IN THEM AT ALL TIMES.
 
AND I ALSO HAVE PLENTY COTTON  STRIPPY ONES
IN THE WARDROBE SO THEY ARE FINE.
 
ALL OF THE CROP PANTS TODAY I FIND ARE REALY
WIDE
ON THE LEG.
 
I LIKE THEM JUST A BIT NARROWER BUT NOT LIKE
DRAINPIPES AND PEGS.
 
WHEN I SEE THE REAL BAGGY ONES ON MYSELF
AND THE LEGS ARE FLAPPING AROUND.
 
I LOOK SO SILLY IN MY EYES I FEEL LIKE COCO THE
CLOWN.
 
ALSO WITH BEING SO TINY I HAVE TO SHORTEN
THEM ALL.
 
TROUSERS JEANS  SKIRTS YOU NAME IT OH!  WHY
WASN'T I BORN TALL.
 
WELL I'LL CONTINUE MY SEARCHING AND LET YOU
 KNOW LATER JUST HOW ALL OF IT WENT.
 
NOW I HAVE POSTED THIS ENTRY AND I HAVE HAD
A BLUMMING GOOD VENT.
 
I DON'T NEED NO FOOTWEAR OR DARE I SAY I BEST
NOT BUY ANYMORE.
 
OR PARTNER TELLS ME WE WON'T  BE ABLE TO GET
THROUGH THE BEDROOM DOOR. (HA-HA)
 
FOR SHOES AND FLIP FLOPS AND SANDALS AS I
MUST SAY I LOVE THEM  SO.
 
HANDBAGS AND SHOPPERS YOU NAME IT ALL
COLOURS TOO WHICH ALL GO.
 
WITH EVERY OUTFIT I HAVE HERE SO THEM ARE
ITEMS IV'E GOT.
 
IT'S CHOOSING WHICH TO PUT IN THE CASE AS I
OBVIOUSLY CARN'T TAKE THE LOT. (HA)
 
THE PLANE WOULD NEVER TAKE OFF HA-HA  WITH
ALL THE WEIGHT OF MY THINGS.
 
OH IT'S A NIGHTMARE PACKING TO ME LOTS OF
PLANNING AND WORRY IT BRINGS.
 
LETS FACE IT US WOMEN ARE LIKE THAT DON'T YOU
AGREE  WHAT I THINK.
 
WE USUALLY PACK ALMOST EVERYTHING ALL BUT THE
 KITCHEN SINK.
 
ANYWAY ILL HAVE TO GO NOW TOMORROW  TO THE
NEXT NEARBY TOWN.
 
I HOPE I DON'T COME HOME ONCE AGAIN
DISSAPOINTED ON MY FACE A FROWN.
 
IF I DO THEN I THINK I'LL JUST TAKE  MY SWIMWEAR 
AND MAYBE ONLY WEAR THEM.
 
UNDER SKIRTS AND COTTON TROUSERS AND LESS 
I'LL HAVE TO PACK  THEN.
 
THE SHOPS CAN KEEP ALL THERE PREGGY TOPS
AND DRESSES OF FLORAL STYLES.
 
GOOD GRIEF THEY  ARE THAT BRIGHT COLOURED
YOU WOULD  SEE ME COMING FROM MILES.
 
SHOCKING PINKS AND LIMES AND ALL COLOURS
WHAT THERE THINKING I REALY DON'T KNOW.
 
BUT WHEN THEY WERE OUT IN FASHION BEFOR
I DIDN'T GIVE THEM A GO.
 
I DON'T MIND A MULTI COLOUR BUT NOT FLOWERS
ALL OVER ME.
 
THEYREMIND ME OF GRANNY'S PINNY AND DRESS
WHEN SMALL AND SHE USED TO NURSE ME (HA-HA).
 
SO COME MORNING I'LL SET OFF AGAIN AND SEE IF
I CAN FIND NICE  TOPS IN STOCK.
 
NOT ONE OF THEM PREGGY TOPS THAT ARE OUT AND
ALL THEM FLORAL FROCKS.
 
Eeeeeeeeeee I'M A FUSSPOT MY PARTNER TELLS ME BUT  
LET HIM COS I'M NOT OLD YET.
 
I MAY BE NEARING 61 YRS BUT  QUITE A TIME OFF I HOPE
TILL I'LL GET.
 
TO FEEL LIKE A SENIOR CITIZEN IN  MY MIND I  AM
STILL YOUNG AT HEART .
 
SO I'LL GET OFF EARLY TOMORROW  AS I LIKE TO  
MAKE A QUICK START.
 
WHEN I AM GOING ON HOLIDAY NOT LEAVING IT
ALL TILL LAST.
 
I LIKE TO BE ORGANISED EARLY AS THE WEEKS
FLY BY SO FAST.
 
I HOPE I DONT GET THE ZIPS STUCK  LIKE LAST
TIME  WITH MY BELLY SORE. (HA-HA).
 
DO YOU REMEBER THAT LAST SHOP I DID OH!
GOODNESS NEVER NO MORE.
 
THERES ONE THING I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO
THOUGH THATS BUYING A COUPLE OF NEW HATS.
 
AND WITH VISITING SO MANY PALCES TOO I THINK
I WILL BUY SOME MAPS.
 
I DO HAVE A COWBOY HAT IN TEXAS AND BOOTS
WHICH I LEFT THERE RIGHT .
 
I BOUGHT THEM AT THE RODEO SHOW WE WENT TO
WATCH THERE ONE NIGHT.
 
WELL UNTIL MY NEXT POST MY J/LAND FRIENDS WISH
ME LUCK AS I GO SHOP THIS TIME.
 
IF I DO MANAGE TO GET WHAT I'M WANTING I'LL SHOW
YOU IN THE NEXT  "SIMPLE RHYME".
 
                                         

     

                                                        
May I say to the graphic makers I am so sorry the animation
 has been lost doing graphics the new way of AOHELL
 Grrr .I do not know what has gone wrong. 
I am so frustrated with this Grrrrrrrrrrr
I do add gif by the way so I know it'snot that.
They are animated in my files still.So I am saying
this is something to do with AOL. Does anyone know
why??????????????
                                      
( He-He-He thanx to Sugar for this fabulous graphic .
This dress is just the job for folks
 who like that kind of thing but not for
 KATH I'm afraid. 
 THEY ARE ALL TOO FLOWERY.   
( He-He-He!!)

I see you lost the animation on the siggy, :(. You must have forgotten to type  .gif  after the file name before you saved it.
I really have a hard time finding clothes that look proper, I'm almost 6' tall & weigh 300 lbs. I love fashion, but it's hard to find & then when I do find something I look like a giant blob. :(
Have a great rest of the week.
Hugs,
Sugar

I do know what you mean, lots of things I wouldn't wear on the racks this season.  I've been looking and came up with just a few new things, but it took more than one round of shopping that's for sure.  I hope your next adventure proves to be better.  'On Ya'  - ma

I find so many of the clothes are made for the very young girls. Hope you find something you like and I'll be reading about it when you do, okay? Paula

Just say "F**K IT!" and wear whatever you want.  I don't care about fashion and never have -- and I'M GAY!!  heh heh  Enjoying your trip is the important thing.

Kath, I bet you look nice in anything.  I wish I were as beautiful on the eyes as you are!  I have a hard time finding clothes in the stores that appeal to me as well.  Everything is either really dowdy or too young.  we need someone to start designing clothes for the mature woman that are fun and not too aging, but yet at the same time not too young!!  Is that a tall order??  I don't know!  I think the journals are working now, but they weren't when I first got on this morning.  It sure has been a week of frustration with AOL journals!
