Sorry no ones been able to help you. Did you find what you needed? Kathy

Gibby, I am snobby with my Underscore undies. They MUST have the banded leg, not the elastic. I can't believe I am finally meeting another fellow underwear nerd. They are still my first love but they raise above my jeans so I have to make sure I wear long enough shirts that cover them when I bend down. I do like my new Exofficio undies and have since purchased 3 more pair. That said, I still buy the tall ones instead of the bikini style. No stains, dry quickly and wick. (TMI?). I still have my Underscore but the nude color Exofficio's aren't so glaring if they happen to show. The only complaint I have about my beloved underscore's is the waist elastic should be a tad wider. But there is never a panty line so I buy a size up to account for the tiny elastic waist.

I'm not showing my pantry! I don't have head space and no open drawers,LOL, but I do have rows. I even alphabetize my spice cabinet and try to keep it that way! I have two freezers full of meat and vegetables from the garden. Two refrigerator/freezers full and the pantry that I am not showing is full and in rows. The overflow from the pantry goes in the shelves in my garage and my "storage building" outside. Even though it is just the two of us I feed alot of people. We just finished peanut/cotton and corn harvest. I have been taking lunch to the field for two+ months and a sandwich in the evening if they are working late, which has been much of the time for 8 to 15 people, so I keep well stocked. This has been a fun read, thanks Shaun!

Hancock's (if you have one nearby) carries all the brands of patterns, and they have regular sales which usually include patterns for .99 cents. Yes, the ones that usually sell for $12 or more. You might also look in the crafts dept for the ''baby doll'' kits that come with clothing patterns....couldn't cost much more than the branded patterns, Another idea is a doll from a thrift store or yard sale that has clothing you could deconstruct.
