Punishingly Intricate

But when I have a 42C that's too big and I'm fighting with the straps, why should I try on bras and the ones that fit are a 42DD and a40DD?

It's pretty common when you lose weight to lose a band size and gain a cup size.

If a 34B in every style fit you, that means there were other 34Bs who couldn't find anything to fit properly.

Also, this. The lingerie shop where I got my longline bra to wear with my wedding dress does alterations. I'm only buying bras there if I can help it! They carry basically the same ones at the same price Nordstroms does anyway, just not as many.

Yep. When I lost weight, that was the exact change I went through with bras.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Why am I surprised that Taco Bell meat does not meet the USDA requirements to be labelled "beef"? I wonder if they'll change the mixture or start calling it "beff".

Occasionally I’m callous and strange

"beef flavored food product". Much like their "cheese flavored food products."

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

They should say, "Food flavored food-like product."

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

and we wonder why I don't eat Toco Hell. Good to know my taste buds have taste (so to speak).

ION - seems my part of campus is now implementing "no hot water in the bathrooms" to reduce the carbon emissions and save on energy costs. WTF? Complete with posters that remind us:

 It may help in the transition, to be reminded that it is not the water temperature, but the cleaning with soap, water, and scrubbing that removes dirt and germs. You can refer to the National Centers for Disease Control & Prevention for further information

What about frost bite!! Freezing water isn't all that comfy, who wants to wash for long in that!

That's odd. When I took food service training they told us it was better to wash with hot water and no soap than soap and cold water.

eta: in fact, a food service establishment will be shut down if the health deparment finds they have no hot water.

The "you don't need hot water to get the germs off" thing is a new discovery. I imagine the laws are lagging behind.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

that it is not the water temperature, but the cleaning with soap, water, and scrubbing that removes dirt and germs.

Maybe so, but it's the water temperature that dictates how invested I am in scrubbing.

Might be worth checking health codes on that one, for sure.
