Um. Male Pattern Baldness is all I'm coming up with. Though isn't that through the mother's father? feh.
Actually breast size is supposedly passed down mostly via your dad's mom than your own. So there's that.
Handsome brooding vampire guy has to swoop in all sensitive mouth and overhanging forehead. How 'bout leaving some scraps for the homely-looking fellows who don't turn evil when they get some?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I'm one bit of anecdata, but I definitely take after the women on my father's side in that regard. And I hope for Annabel's sake it's generally true, because if she takes after DH's mom, she'll be a nice average 36C or so and not have to take out a mortgage to buy her bras from specialty shops.

Damnit, can't I get anything right?? My dad's mom gave me her overweight gene but not the boobage gene--do you know how hard it is to find a small-running C cup in the larger band sizes? My sister and I both got our mom's boobs, unfortunately.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

I have my grandma's (dad's mom) exact body, including breast size. It's kind of freaky.

I'm finding this whole thing hilarious -- I'd say "I thought it was just me", but I never really thought about it at all, in any "this is a known phenomenon" kind of way.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
In body shape, I definitely take after my mom's side of the family.

I have my father's mother's hips in a big, big way. Also, her withered lips. Sigh.
Speaking of all this, has anyone read, used, or heard anything about the Schwartzbein Principle?
An acupuncturist friend has tested me to discover that I have a thyroid deficiency. It has been further suggested that I might be able to control it through diet and supplementation. Much more my choice than synthetic HRT.

Y'know, both Gram and my mother were/are in the DD range.
If this holds true, though, Lillian's gonna get stuck in the A range.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
bonny, I hadn't heard of it before, but the lead quote from her website:
Degenerative diseases of aging are not genetic but acquired. Because the systems of the human body are interconnected and because one imbalance creates another imbalance, poor eating and lifestyle habits, not genetics, are the cause of degenerative disease.
- Diana Schwarzbein MD
makes me raise my eyebrows in a huge fucking way. I'm not saying that diet and lifestyle don't play a part in one's health, but blaming them entirely for degenerative diseases... actually, frankly, makes me angry.
