ELASTIC is adaptable, comfortable and resilient. Life can be that way too! “When it comes to my quality of life, elastic in my pants assures that my clothes are comfortable, that I can dress myself, go to the bathroom unattended and gain or lose a few pounds and still look good.” Charlie That is one aspect of Quality of Life in this book.
