In emergency rooms, this has been referred to as "baggy pants syndrome." Kids pants slide to their knees when running, and they fall to the ground and damage their wrists.
Just imagine one of these kids reaching up to change a lightbulb. lol

that is hilarious.
It is a rite of adolescence to want to dress differently - like everyone else.

I find myself opposing the current war very much, but I'll never blame the troops for any mess. Lord knows, in a place where you're getting shot at you do things you aren't proud of in order to survive, and that's what combat comes down to. Politics and ideology are irrelevant. You fight for yourself and your comrades. I just pray Iraq doesn't turn out like Nam did, a mad scramble to get out. The administration is making noises about turning it over to the Iraqis, and it resemble Vietnamization to me. I think they'll discover getting out isn't that simple or near as easy as getting in was. I and many others were forunate in we survived Nam and recovered. Took me over a year to be able to walk normally again and I than God daily for a wife that made my readjustment possible. I'm really not as bitter as I might sound at times, but memories of hurtful words on our return are always justy below the surface and tend to surface at times. I've probably said more than I should have since this really is off topic and I appreciate the groups patience :) Mike in Wisconsin
When I was pregnant with my first daughter, way back in 1970, my doctor told me to never wear a girdle, that it destroyed your stomach muscles. Which explains a lot about some older women who have poochy abdomens now without those foundation garments.

knees with their underwear/skivvies showing. I HATE IT HATE IT
but when the crack of the a** is showing and I can see the
AKA "carpenter's crack" around our neck of the woods.
I'd rather not... ;P
LOL. I love a line in the film 'Indiscreet'. Ingrid Bergman is stewing over the end of an affair and her sister says: "Oh do come out with us. You'll feel SO much better in a girdle!"
I wouldn't wear the girdle, but you know what she means...

Cover-ups? Surely not!!
In England, the Government still refuses to believe that Gulf War Syndrome exists. All that nerve damage displayed by UK troops must be pure coincidence...bunch of wimps.

I make drop scones on my girdle !!! Liz
Isn't that a griddle?
;) Trish
Ah, Trish, you don't come from far enough north!! In Scotland and some parts of the Border Country, what them southern folks in the South (like Yorkshire) call a griddle is called a girdle, hence "girdle cakes" or drop scones. Where I came from in Durham County the two terms were used interchangeably.

And here I'm sitting thinking that drop scones must be some kind of embellishment for a tummy girdle... like scallops or pleats :P
My granny had one me granddad made for her out of half inch armour plating! Mine is on the web site, with Scots pancakes or Drop Scones on it...
Not on your griddle? LOL Karen Maslowski in Cincinnati
Or like that awful ad that shows doughnuts on hips!! Which is where they go, anyway.
