Ok. Seriously. Someone save me from this reading. I'm gonna poke my eyes out soon. Colonial era through post Civil War orphan(age) stories are gonna kill me. And I've been reading about them for going on seven hours today.

Crap. Where'd my post go?

Where'd my post go?

With the rum?

Cindy, how'd the party go?

Semi-X-posted with Natter, because I'm lazy. The movie was so so. The kids had a good time (probably not a great time). The birthday boy had a great time though, and says it was the best day of his life. None of the peanut/tree nut kids had an allergic reaction. Nobody got injured. Nobody cried. Nobody got lost. Nobody threw up. And? It's over. I'm calling that a win. Thanks, Valerie.

I was pulling the underwire flush against my ribcage and then UP, into the hollow under my boobs, which is what allowed the overhang. So flush against the rib cage is proper, as long as the wire is sitting below the breasts, and not yanked up into the curve underneath (one of my favorite parts of my body, BTW, but, despite how much I love it, NOT where the underwire should be, b/c it creates sort of a sling effect).

Now I see what you mean. Huh. I don't know how I was wearing them. I wore them for years, but stopped a few years back. I wonder if I still have any. I'd like to try that out. I still buy good Bali bras (because I'm a D), though -- just no wire. I realized the extra help from the wire wasn't worth the trade off in comfort, since the girls are doing okay (particularly considering they're 40 and I've had three babies).

There's rum? Please for to be sharing.

I'm so glad it went well, Cindy. Have my rum. You deserve it!

I can't picture this, so I'm now worried that I've been wearing my bras wrong for years. I know I need to go for a fitting, because I haven't had one since before I started WW.

Tis better to suffer together than alone, my friend.

Word times 100! And tomorrow you'll have cute hair - that's a win in my book

Ms. Bug, can you put it aside for a while and do some other reading or homework or something? I think that 7 hours of that would be really hard.

Cindy congrats on the party success. If the birthday boy had fun and no blood was shed then it qualifies as a smash

My DH and my son are at camp this week with the rest of the 5th graders from my son's school. Leaving just the 16 year old daughter and me at home this week. It's been good for both sets of parents to spend time one-on-one with the kids but man, I cannot wait until the DH and the son get home tomorrow. Beside the fact that I miss them both like whoa, the boat is mucho creepy at night with just the daughter and I at home. I guess with all 4 of us aboard, I never noticed the lines creaking and the boat moving so much but I keep thinking someone is on the deck after I go to bed... creeeepy...Maybe tonight we will stay with my mom.

Jilli, the pictures on the left side of this page are more or less what I mean when I say yanked up into the curve underneath, making the boobs hang over: [link]

I'm almost done with what I wanted to get done today, so I'm gonna finish that. But, I think the writing I have to do on it will wait till tomorrow.

Also, I just realized that the other three articles I have to read are on much of the same time periods, so I've got probably another 6, or so, hours to go. Yay!
