Vortex, I say if you have the spare dosh in your budget without frelling holiday spending plans, go for it.

So, I found my OTB a few years ago. Of course, the first one I found was on sale, and now I'm paying full price, grrr. But, the point is that I found one that matched my skin tone a few years ago, and then they discontinued the color (fuckos). The brown one seems to be back and I'm contemplating buying several, but do I really want to spend $200 on bras?

Yes. Never pass up your OTB, else you'll wind up like I did, scouring eBay in hopes that someone would have it.

I've been searching for the OTB for so long, I'm fairly sure it's a mythical creature. Unicorn-style.

I can only helplessly say yes. I won't admit out loud how much I paid for my last bra-buying spree, but the girls are looking much better, and it's much more comfortable.

I do hate men right now, though.

Will there be mentions of tea cups?

Not sure yet but probably.

Go for schmoop, but make it short, because odds are you will end up sobbing like a cranky small child, and most of your elegantly phrased vows will end up all soggy and snotty anyway.

Which I always like to watch, and it makes me cry at weddings too!

Also, make sure you stick some kleenex in your bodice. Not as stuffing, but so you can quickly wipe off the tears and blow your nose, before you walk back down the aisle and get your pics taken.

A couple of Kleenex, because a soggy tissue is not schmoop-enducing.

If you want more demand, you need to decrease the taxes for those in your target group so they have more spending.

As a UCLA Econ professor once told me, the rich will only buy so many refrigerators.

OTB? 'B' is bra but...

Glad you're well enough to be back at it, NoiseDesign!

Woke up to read that KPFA Morning Show staff is making a stand and had locked themselves in the studio. I woke up too late to catch it live and Democracy Now (a syndicated show) is on now so I don't know how things played out.

Gotta try to finish off that song today. Luckily someone from an online board is going to help me with drums. He does Windows and I'm Mac. I'm doing my stuff in Garage Band. So I'm not sure how to collaborate in a way that will work, technically.

I have a beautiful handkerchief for that purpose, and it is just going to be in our room at the inn, so no aisle to worry about. I think because it is just going to be the two of us and the JP, I can really say what I mean in the vows without worrying about what anyone else might think.

ION, one of my future mother-in-laws just e-mailed me to find out what room we are staying at in the inn. I am wondering if I should call the innkeeper to make sure no one has secretly booked any of the other rooms.

Aw, I think that's nice.

ETA: She probably is arranging a present, like a bottle of wine, or candles or flowers. (At least, I HOPE. Who would butt in on a bridal couples honeymoon?)
