In need of some help

I don't know if this is appropriate to ask, but I am gonna ask anyway ...

The weather is finally getting hot, topping out at 89 degrees today, with high 80s all week, the hubby broke down and put the AC in the window, as he is a big man and is hot, and sadly get a terrible headache ( I promised not to complain about the wheater, as I yelled and complained so much about the snow)  I am sticking to my guns and refusing to buy any clothes, I am looking to see if anyone has any had a few pairs of shorts to lead for a few months. If you have already "grown" out of them or if you have an extra pair you would not mind sharing. I really have a hard time spending 15 - 20 bucks on a pair of shorts that wont fit in a few months. Right now I am in 14s, however my waists are getting to big, I tried on size 13 jeans ( yes 13s made by LEI) and they fit better around my waist. So I am asking if they are in storage, if they don't fit you, or you got an extra pair to lend.

MAY I PLEASE BORROW SOME SHORTS  .. Looking for size 14s or size 12s Please and thank you

I will gladly return them when they no longer fit, with out a problem. I would ask the girl I have been  borrowing clothes from, however she is 9 months pregnant, 4 cm dilated and having contractions, They will induce her Wednesday if the baby is not her yet, I am not going to bother her with this request. If the answer from people is no that is ok too, i will just have to wait out the next two weeks, and break down and go shopping next pay day.


thank you all, if you can help me message me and Ill give you my address, thank you all
Sorry if this was an inappropriate request to do here

I would help is I could Miss, I am much larger than you and shrank out of last years shorts.  Passed them onto a friend in need.  Hope that you find some, if not consider the thrift store, usually get things for just a couple $$.  Can't wait to see more of your photo shoot.  Sounds like you had fun.  Have a happy Anniversary on the 13th.  May 14th is my BD, looking forward to that week as well.  Hugs

I don't have anything in that size either but  I just bougt 4 pair of shorts at Walmart for $2 each.  Couldn't beat that deal with a stick.

I also swore I wasn't going to buy any clothes until I absolutely had to.  The day of surgery I figured I had enough to get me through the first 70 pounds.  I've lost 80 and still have a couple that I can' t quite get into yet but so far have donated 7 bags of clothes and have at least another bag.  I've been shopping but buying smaller sizes a little snug now but will be a little big by the end of summer,

Kathy had a great idea about going to the thrift stores.  I think there is also a Yahoo group that does a clothing exchange. 

Good luck in your quest.

You are absolutely NOT out of line at all. This is aprt of what we do as a support group is help each other when in need
If i had any I'd love to pass them on to you. But I am so sorry I do not. I am in an 8 to 10 now, and didn't wear shorts last summer, as i was running cold all the time. Even now, the closest I get to shorts is capri's..
I hope someone comes along to read your post and can help you out on this! It gets tough trying to replace clothing so aften.
Best of luck!
