Hooray, Perkins!!!!!!!!!!!
That's disturbing. You're emotionally scarred and will end up badly.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I had a conversation with my sister a while back about the difference between being broke and being poor. Both of us have been broke at several times in our lives, but we come from a rich enough family that we'll never really be poor. DH and I are currently struggling to make ends meet, but someday I'm going to inherit a summer home in Canada (two separate pieces of land property with a current toal of 4 cabins) and at least one sailboat. My trust fund is mostly empty because we used it to buy a home. Etc etc.
This. When I was trying to get a job last year, my officemate -- who grew up in a blue-collar family and was the first one in his family to go to college, let alone grad school -- thought that I was absolutely insane for turning down a job when I didn't have any other offers. My feeling was that I'd be miserable in that job, and I always knew that I had the safety net of living with my parents for a little while. In his mind, turning down a paying job without knowing that you've got another job to take was financial suicide. In my mind, there was no way that I should take a job that I didn't want.

Congratulations, Perkins! Woot!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Milestone, baby! Go, Perkins!
So I just paid decent bra money for a thing that's not a bra to contain the breastesses at night.
It's really comfortable and I want more. Totally beats sleeping in a shelf bra or sports bra. But, you know, it seems weird. I must ponder. Or maybe find a cheaper comfortable alternative.

Because books.
The idea of sleeping in anything that contains the girls makes me want to weep.

What Amy said. Of course, I only barely wear a C-cup, so I don't have much to contain.

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

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Thanks all!
