This particular store ONLY carried the dress in a 10 and took my measurements in the middle of the showroom and I had to order a size 20.
You know, my big sister could really beat the crap out of her. I mean, really really.

[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.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Isn't bridal-cult 20 like a normal 2 or something?

Who the fuck knows. But I found out there is a 14 inch difference between waist and hips and an 8 inch between bust and waist.

Yes, and they always order too big, so they can make more money on alterations.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Have you told your folks yet or are you waiting?
I've told mine, he's stubborn about telling his. I'm leaving that up to him, but if they bitch about it--he gets to take the heat.

I know we've gone through this before. Aimee, they made me "imagine" how my dress would look while I tried on the only size 18 dress they had in the shop, with the big gaping wide back that they couldn't zip. And this is when I weighed 140 fucking pounds. It's evil, we all know it.
NOBODY SHOULD EVER JUDGE THEIR SIZE ACCORDING TO WEDDING/BRIDESMAID DRESSES.
That way lies pain.

When I was in my mother's wedding in high school I was a size 2 and the bridal shop made me order an 8.
Cashmere, do you have a due date yet?

Our wings are not tired.
Wow. I had no idea wedding dresses were so evil in their sizing notions. Despite my number of marriages I never went that route. The first trip down the aisle my one attendant and I just went shopping and bought regular dresses we liked. Mine was a yellow lacy mini-dress. The second event my dress was made by the costume designer for the opera company DH#2 worked for at the time and my attendant made her own dress. My FINAL trip down the aisle a friend made my dress and my attendant happened to have a lovely dress in her closet the same off white color so we went with it.
It was more about the people than the clothes for me.
I should be in bed. Another long day. Since I worked all day I agreed to watch a movie with Bobby when I got home. We watched National Treasure which was satisfying. And Nick Cage which always works for me.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Actually, to be more accurate and echo what the ENT said -- that's probably not a hangover. That's a migraine, with the headache gone. Just like he suspects my dizzy spells are migraines where the headache never shows up at all.This makes a lot of sense. Thanks.
It implies, to me, that continuing to take meds until the whole thing passes would help matters. Once the headache lets go, I tend to stop taking them. Of course, I only realized yesterday that the dosing for migraines and tension headaches is totally different with Midrine. The interbunny should not make me a more informed patient than my doctor, frankly, but I am glad it is an option for learning stuff.
I hope that you hear from the doctors with good, and easily fixable, news soon.

High living? No. Married man break my heart and my credit? No. I paid one of my bills twice.Not nearly as much as I (heart) erika though.
For the record, I got her theseThat's a whole lot of Too Much Candy.
beathen just took too much candy to a whole new level.And beth beat me to the observation.
But I was watching an Indy race so it was time well spent. For not having any of my favorites win, I am surprisingly pleased by the results. By which, shockingly, I do not mean porn. This time.
