WOMENS BOARD SHORTS : This is a guess, but I think there were 10-15 kids signed into the"Tweeners" age group while we were at sea and maybe half that when wewere in port. They really had fun.There was one "Formal Night". I'm not a formal sort of person and wore abrown suit and tie that night. The remainder of the dinners I wore asport shirt and slacks. My wife wore a dress to formal night and (Ibelieve) a pant suit most of the other dinners. The kids, we had insport shirts and slacks all dinners. I felt we were about average indress for the dinners (overall). There were some guys wearing a tux atthe formal dinner and some shirt & slacks (many sport coats & darksuits). Womens dress ranged from pant suits, mini skirts, to longsequined gowns. Oh yes, it appeared that families with children wereusually given a table to themselves (which probably makes it nice forthose cruising without children). Your travel agent can probably makethat request for you, if you so choose.
WOMENS BOARD SHORTS : Hey, if I get treated like I'm worthless, I tend to believe that's the way itis. Nope. I have some value, to myself. Not to too many other women, though.Twisted BS? All you have to do is go out and observe. And I personally havedone a fair bit of observing....I doubt there are many guys here who have beento as many bars, clubs, gyms, bookstores, coffee shops, beaches, etc as I have.Women aren't more valuable than men? Hah, bullshit, tell that to the doorpersonat every club in South Florida, who shuttles every woman in the door uponarrival, while a horde of unescorted men are forced to wait behind a fuckingvelvet rope for a half-hour or more. Women aren't more valuable/desired?Bullshit, go to the beach and watch even AVERAGE-looking women in bikinis turnthe heads of every straight man there! Meanwhile, I can prance around therewearing board shorts, Speedos, jean shorts, or even buck naked, and shit, noone will even LOOK at me, except buff gay Cuban boys named Antonio. WOMENS BOARD SHORTS : I wear womens' padded cycling shorts for my daily bike ride. Womens' shortshave no central seam between the legs in the padding, to avoid chafingsensitive areas. They are difficult to find in any size, and almostimpossible in my current size 24, and are rather expensive. I've got someold rather overstretched ones where the cotton lycra fabric of the shorts iswearing out, and one pair that have worn into several holes, no longerrepairable. However the padding on both pairs is fine and could be used formany years more. So I'm contemplating making my own shorts and salvagingthe padding from the old ones. I can take the better fitting old pair ofshorts apart and reckon I can make a pattern from them and tweak it to fit.Anyone ever made a pair of bike shorts and can offer me some tips? Wherecan I buy nice matt cotton lycra in dark colours, not that bright shinystuff? I've been told that to make the seams properly stretchy they shouldbe overlocked, but I don't have an overlocker and it wouldn't be worthbuying one just for this. Is it possible to sew such stretchy fabricsuccessfully on an ordinary zig-zag machine?

WOMENS BOARD SHORTS : Not surprising, because it doesn't exist. Should have beenuk.rec.crafts.sewing - I should have remembered that, because when thesewing group was being created I was the one who said it should be part ofthe uk.rec.crafts hierarchy.
