I spent over an hour trying on 22 different bras a couple of Saturdays ago
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!
These are stone killers, little man. They ain't cuddly like me.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Depends. Do you live someplace warm? Are there nice people? Will you keep her in better than the style to which she is accustomed? Are there babies? I gotta look out for the v-ster.
DC suburbs. Warmer than New England. I'm nice, DF is nice, and we have a heavenly host of Buffistae. We're getting a nice, big house next year right after the wedding, and I can promise her trips to Italy and France. No babies yet, but they shall come. That's why we're getting the big house.
Do I pass?
Ginger, I wasn't in the car when it happened. I was walking back to it after leaving the store, and I watched this completely clueless 17 year-old girl do the bump and grind to our cars. She was trying to park between my SUV and a full-size van, when on the other side of the van, there were five consecutively empty spaces. She had no idea what to do in this situation; I had to talk her through everything. Insurance card? What insurance card? Oy. Vey.
They really need to administer a common sense test along with the driver's exam. It might cut down on the number of homicides by insurance-card paper cut.

Yuppers.
It was two weeks before V-Day, so every display in the store was done in this over-the-top, wacky Victorian style, in pink & black. My friend Alexia turned to me and said "Look! They're marketing directly to you, isn't that sweet of them?"

No, I think you'd be much better off with an Emily, actually.

Sometimes, you just don't feel like stacking cats. Fortunately, during those sad times, the internets are still there for you, and you can throw rocks at boys. It's a classic for a reason.

Yuppers.
Must remember that when I'm ready to go back to the 'spensive bras. No one has ever offered to alter anything for me at the Northgate or Alderwood Nordys.

BWAH! My poor monitor.
I'm greedy. Can't I just take you both? Then we're all happy!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
sigh
I have given up all computer games for Lent. I'll just have to throw, stack, match etc. vicariously through Cindy.
