I got a letter from Elizabeth Zwichy. She saw my advice to Jamie about wearing pants to avoid static cling(8-). She told me that it was the material the garment was made of and not whether it was a skirt or pants that caused static cling. I tried to post a reply but, the letter was returned. I'm gonna post it instead. And I won't ask about her burned thighs. I'll assume sunburn, 'cause I've been there(8-). Go ahead, gripe. Here goes: Dear Elizabeth, I suppose some of my sox are made out of nylon and other synthetics. That's why I'm tempted to get myself fitted with a lightning rod(8-). But, I suppose what little trouble I've ever had is minimal. I can't really complain. I can see (from watching ladies put them on) that nylons could be a real pain. And wouldn't they be a *GEN-U-WINE* mess with sunburned thighs and legs too? For that, I usually wear cut off blue jeans... One SO I had often asked me to spray her legs with some anti-static stuff she found. She'd hold her skirt out of the way and I'd apply a little "Liquid Lightning Rod". I don't know what the stuff was called but, it worked and didn't bother her skin. Thank you for writing. Hope you had a good weekend. Take care. Tom Frye
