All my polishes are put away somewhere that I cannot remember. The downside of all my fast "cleaning" for the house showings.
I gave her everything... jewels, beautiful dresses -- with beautiful girls in them.

I'm over my hissy of yesterday. Don't know why that sent me to 11, but it did. Now back to zen. But I don't think I'll try any more bra shopping this weekend.
I just read through the bra-buying pain posts. And, I can relate. I have a few Wacoals that work well even if they are kind of spendy. What I'm thinking you need to do is find a bra that fits in the cup and get the straps altered. I don't think it would be hard for a competent tailor to do and probably not that expensive (I go to Sanitate on Chestnut, btw).
For my wedding dress my dress lady is going to have me buy a few bras, see what works the best, and then alter the bra to fit exactly. I'm very excited about this! And wish she could do it for all my bras.
I am loafing on the couch and drinking a delicious beer after riding 36 hard miles today. I am filthy but beer was > shower. Soon shower then store to get something to make for dinner.

Yes! You can get bras altered; the last time I purchased bras at Nordstrom, the bra lady told me that. I, being a clothing-altering sort on my own, now do that to all my bras.

I hope none of you ever get to meet the scary mastectomy bra salesladies.

Man, I wish I was at all talented in this area! I would love to be able to alter all my clothes to fit exactly right.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I've definitely found that the best way for me to get a bra that fits right is to go to a bra shop that does alteration, find one that fits in the cups, and have them take in the back.

I just saw yet another commercial refer to unhealthy food as "sinful." I am really getting sick of this.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Haven't bought bras in a couple of years. Not looking forward to when I have to again, as it was a bit of a pain. I'm an average size, but I want seamless cups and no padding. Good luck with that...

6 stitches, in and out in an hour, so not too bad. Hell on my typing, though.

Yikes, Jessica. Here's to quick healing. I am switching summer clothes in and winter clothes out but my summer clothes smell musty. If I hang them on the line for the rest of the afternoon, what's the likelihood that the musty will go away?
