You know, I've saved lives. Dozens. Maybe hundreds. I reattached a girl's leg. Her whole leg. She named her hamster after me. I got a hamster. He drops a box of money, he gets a town.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

A group amble through North Beach sounds excellent.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So, now I just have to get brave enough to wear that dress without something covering my arms, right? Because I have ... issues about showing my upper arms.

This is my issue with the dress as well. And then I'm generally anti buying something I need to buy something else in order to wear it.

I like that idea. Especially since I'm incapable of knitting or crocheting anything.

I shall begin pattern hunting!

I am not spending money right now, so I am lucky that it looks like the largest size is a 44" bust, and I have a 46"bust.

I bought a red trixie. They are on back order anyway so it'll take a while. Love turquoise, but I don't need quite that many dresses.

ita, I wish I could link, but she also has beautiful Obi blouses on sale that you might really dig. More expensive than the $34 dress, but still lovely.

Jilli, openwork or solid? Long or short sleeves? able to button in the front or not?

Ooooh. Openwork, mid-length sleeves if possible, and at least 1 button in the front?

And a question for you exercise-y types: do tricep dips actually work for toning a person's upper arms? Is there something more effective I could be doing that doesn't involve having weights around?

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

I find they do. I also do the closed-position push-ups (hands together, fingers and thumb forming a diamond-shape) for the upper arms. Oh! Plank position in yoga is good, too.

I can do that as a variant of doing push-ups against a wall, right? Because floor-type push-ups are Not For Me.
