I will only wear shorts at home...but, I will wear a decent tank top....I'm not going to suffer in the heat because someone doesn't want to look at my wiggly arms.

me too! when it gets hot and sticky I put on tank tops and above the knee shorts. Horrors!! But if the teenagers can go around showing their underwear then I can show my wiggly thighs and arms. :)

This is funny because my eldest told her grandmother one day she had down muscles. Cracked us all up for years. Mom told the story on herself because they were alone at the time. Now I have down muscles and also don't like them flopping around. I try to stay in short sleeves. I always hated wearing shorts after I had kids so mostly sweated all summer. A few years ago after surgery when I couldn't wear pants at all I "discovered" dresses. Nice and cool and I can make them any length I want ditto the sleeves.

I agree with the pelican analogy! I also have an ugly skin tag under my right flap that I keep hidden!

Even young girls have that flap going on, just watch the royalty in a parade waving! May not be as bad as some of ours, but it flaps......poor girls do not have any idea what their arms will look like in 20 years....I'm going to tell them.

Oh, I've reached that stage, too. I play in a handbell choir at church, and when we were discussing tops to wear for performances, someone made the comment that we need to wear 3/4 sleeves so we don't distract the congregation with the flapping! :lol: :lol: :lol: We always wear sleeves now.

My granddaughter calls them "wattles", like the fleshy growth hanging from the head or neck of chickens. They are the great equalizer. I get great comfort in knowing that all the snippy "in crowd" girls in high school that didn't have time to say hello to me have them also and are probably bothered by them more than I am.

When I first noticed mine, I thought WOW! I'm turning into an angel! Must be because I'm getting wings! I don't care whether anyone else wants to see the flapping or not...if I go to the trouble to shave my pits....I'm going sleeveless!
