Not a beach ball, but I'm massively bustier than I used to be and my waist has kind of disappeared;
You mean you look like me? I've got the stretch marks, too.
Just call me the computer whisperer.

Spike's Bitches 30: Going on Thirteen
[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.

What is even happening?
You can, but sadly, research has pretty well shown that it's a genetic predisposition and creams won't do much more than soothe the itching.
Not that I'm bitter.
I was going to say, I didn't get one stretch mark any of my three pregnancies, and I didn't moisturize my belly with anything. I remember my OB commenting on it. I didn't get huge when pregnant, but I gained between 25-30 pounds with each of the boys. With Julia, it was a little different, because I lost weight at first, then was on partial bedrast later, and was sick at the end. I can't remember what I gained. At one point, I remember being excited that I'd gained 18 lbs.
Stretch marks -- ehn. I've had stretch marks on my boobs since they had their first real growth spurt when I was 17. Already lived with 'em for 20 years, I can stand a few more.
I did get puberty stretch marks on my breasts and hips, but they were faded before I ever noticed them, and I'm so fair they blend.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
You mean you look like me?
Only shorter, and distinctly lacking in the pretty flaxen blonde.

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 dig this shirt [link] a whole lot, but I'm waistless, so I'm not sure how it would look on me.
JZ, you're shorter than brenda? Really? You photograph taller.

I'm a bit under 5'5", and IIRC from previous meetings, brenda either actually is rather taller or at least carries herself and projects taller.

I think you and she are about the same height. brenda's a bit taller than me, but not overly so.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
NotEmily is going to Sweden? Also yay!, since in my household we currently hate the Swedes.
Is there a story behind this, or was it more "Volvos. What's up with that?"

yeah, yeah, just anecdotal evidence, I know, but I got stretch marks with adolescence and even with nursing, and my mom and sister both are prone to stretch marks as well. I just assumed I'd get them. But my belly came through.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Anyone got a million bucks just lying around? I want this condo, and would like someone to buy it for me.
