Hi Stoop ...

I understand a bit because when I was training to be an RN I was required to wear a uniform that was only available up to a size 18-20. At the time I was wearing 32, so I panicked.

When I talked with Human Resources at the University, I was able to invoke the Americans with Disability Act protection due to my size. It wasn't something I was happy doing, since I certainly didn't feel disabled. However, if I had been kicked out of the program only because I couldn't fit the required uniforms - that was size discrimination.

I don't know if that is something you want to pursue, or if you feel it's even valid in your case, but I wanted to offer it up as a suggestion.

Best of luck to you ... and I must say, I like Boogie's fashion statement ideas.

PS - LOVE the Neo avatar! I just got Revolutions DVD so my Matrix library is complete.
