If we were both skeletons, her ribcage would fit inside mine and not even touch the edges, and my collarbone is probably about 4 inches wider than hers. I weigh more than I should, and need to lose weight I know, but height and age don't account for nearly enough!
Just try typing in U or Un and United States will show up with a few others.

We are alike in that we are big boned with larger skeletal frames. Even when HWP I had to buy larger blouses so that they would fit my shoulders. Or couldn't wear bangles since they wouldn't fit over my slender hands.

One odd thing: my hands are still slender from all those years of piano practice.
