Brenda, if you're not happy with the answers you get about your Dad, I have a friend who manages a practice that just does knee and hip replacements, and she might have some ideas.

I am going through a software tutorial. You would think that they would say somewhere, like on the box or the website, that the movies will only run at a specific resolution. No, you have to call. This is after I did the stuff they did recommend, like reloading Quicktime. Aaargh.

I'm so sorry about your car, Maria. Were you hit hard enough to be sore today?

And vw rules. Three down and one to go! She could come here and make my breakfast and tell me to work. It's usually warm here. It's very pretty in the spring. There are no babies, though.

I have no coffeemaker suggestions because my main coffeemaker is a Black & Decker undercounter model that has lived a freakishly long time. (Knocks wood.) It has a timer, which was a wonderful feature when I actually had to leave the house to work.

Always Anti-fascist!

It's actually the next line from the same song, which I believe is called "That's How Strong My Love Is", and a Dateless Wonder like me should not punish herself this way, but I've been waking up with it often lately. I thought it was beautiful and sad. Kind of like life.Score! I checked the cover and my recall was right. In my next life, I'm challenging Hecubus. I think, if I were going to pick an epitaph, it would be the line I previously tagged, not that I want the Big Tagline in the Sky anytime soon.

I luuurve Nordstrom's

ooh me too! But I had no idea they do bra alterations!!! That is so rad! Maybe only in some stores though? I feel like the bra salesladies would have already told me about.

Susan -- I only wear LB bras. I like them and I don't care for them like I should and they last.

Get on their mailing list too, I think you have to sign up via their website, but they send out coupons and "gift cheques" on a regular basis. The gift cheque is $25 off an order of $75 or more or $50 off an order of $125 or more. Then they usually have 5 coupons for $5 off various items (bras, shirts, pants). It's a good deal, plus if you use them when they are giving out Real Women Dollars you get a $25 coupon for every $50 you spend. During Real Women Days you get $25 off for every $50 you spend. And most stores will let you buy clearance stuff even though it says it's not valid on clearance (you just can't buy ALL clearance items).

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

I like them and I don't care for them like I should and they last.

Are you some magic, bra-lady? The LB bras I get seem to fall apart really fast. And, they fall apart in painful ways. I don't know how many times I've been impaled by a wire that goes wonky.

Well, I spent over an hour trying on 22 different bras a couple of Saturdays ago, and the very helpful saleslady said "Those two bras will be perfect once we have the alterations lady put a couple of darts in them." I looked at her goggle-eyed and said "Put a couple of darts in them?!"

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Susan just reminded me that I want to buy some new bras. I think I'm just going to go for a couple decent nursing bras.

Susan, you might not ever get down to your pre-Annabel breast size. The rib cage expansion can stick just enough to keep them a size above.

Ah yes. And on the other hand, some women's breasts get *smaller*.

My ribcage seems to be a bit bigger now. I used to buy 34Bs and the occasional 32C. Now I seem to fit into 34Ds and 36Cs while I am pregnant but not nursing. I figure that means a D-cup for the nursing bras and a who-the-hell-can-guess for the future.

I do this on a fairly regular basis at two different Nordstroms and they've never mentioned alteration as an option. I shall have to inquire!
