[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.

Spidra, at this point it sounds like you need to start treating this as a business proposition. Talk to a Lawyer. It could be worth the investment, and possibly some people on this list could steer you to someone decent in your area (or at least give you some tips for how to find someone decent). Just because you are co-owner does not automatically mean you have zero legal rights; maybe it does, but talk to a lawyer. Find out what your rights are. If they exist and there is a way to enforce them do so.

Meantime, if you have any enforceable rights I know one thing a lawyer will tell you do is create a paper trail. Write your mother, explaining how her habit of contracting without regard for your comfort, safety or convenience has made your life a living hell. Ask her to try and mitigate the problem. Don't even hint at legal action otherwise but use the word mitigate, Keep a dated copy of the letter. Make phone calls on this, and note the phone calls follow up with a second letter. If you turn out to have no legal rights none of this will hurt. If you have some, the lawyer will appreciate the beginning of the paper trail.

Our wings are not tired.

I like the first one better although I think both would work for you. Order a swimsuit, eeek, I'd have to try on a swimsuit.

uh, to Cashmere of course

Considering I'm 9 weeks post-baby, I should DEFINITELY try one on. I usually order two (one in each size I think I can wear) and send the one that doesn't fit back. Finding time to actually shop without lugging a kid is difficult.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I like the shape of the first one a lot, and the color of the second one is great.

Not being in control of who is in your home is a bad bad thing. It boggles my mind that your mom doesn't get that, Spidra.

Huh, Nordstrom's has the second dress and it's $40 cheaper.

I need a personal shopper.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

{{{Spidra}}} Is there any way you can get out of this deal with your parents and go back to renting?

Cashmere, those are both pretty dresses.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I need a personal shopper.

Nordstrom's has those too.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Question:

Would a good waist cincher hold in my baby-belly under clothing without looking too bulky?
