body comparisons ar e good for no one - and if it involves squeezing - smack 'em down.

This one was good for our dates, I can't lie. Three women standing at the bar grabbing each other's breasts? I'm surprised they didn't break something offering to break the tie.

I don't mind being groped, but I do wish I could like my breasts without invoking tales of decade-long woe.

My boobs are sometimes too big and sometimes too small, but generally well behaved and with the cyst gone reasonably healthy. I can't guarantee that'll last forever, so I don't appreciate being bummed out about other racks while I'm okay.

I am like meara in that my breasts have never been bodacious but they've always been perky. But it is weird that for so long I thought of myself as flat chested. It's been a good decade since then (I blame pregnancy and regular ol' aging and putting on 20 pounds or so) and I still am surprised when I see cleavage.

I must be a fool. Breaking in on a conversation of boobs. But hey, I have a deadline.

OK, it's Secret Santa time here at school. I've drawn one of the students that I have no clue, or rather, little clue. He's vegetarian. He's a bit on the nerdy side. A bit of a foodie. Can cook. Computer whiz. Sound whiz. Theater sound guy. Mid-late 20's. From the east coast. We have to exchange gifts by the 10th, so, gotta ship before it's too late.

I found this, that could be cool, but, I don't eat mushrooms, so no clue if they are yummy variety or not: [link]

Yes? No? It's a $30 limit.

The other thing I found is this: [link] But not sure of his music prefs, so not sure which genre record to turn into a bowl for him.

Thoughts? Good? Bad? Keep looking?

(OK, back to boob talk)

I personally find oyster mushrooms yummy.

What about a gourmet vegetarian cookbook?

An Alton Brown book? Myth busters new book?

I personally find oyster mushrooms yummy.

me too and that kit is neato!

Interesting side note- when highlighting Typo Boy's quote I accidentally clicked the 'search google' option and that kit was the second result!

That kit looks cool, oyster mushrooms are tasty.

Mom was always worried about her weight when I was growing up (although looking back she wasn't heavy) but I think part of the problem stems from my Dad.

My Dad does not like fat women at all. Maybe he doesn't like fat men either, I'm not sure. I don't know how much he obsesses about his own weight, but I know he has always ahd this thing about eating right (whatever that means at the time) and when I was growing up one of this things was only 1 starch at a meal, period.

When my parents met Mom was tall and skinny, then she had kids and life happened and she gained some weight. When they divorced she wasn't fat, maybe a little overweight but not fat.

He would occasionally say things about my weight, but in an "I'm encouraging you to exercise way" although after I put on weight due to medicine he stopped that.

And even though he's never said it, deep down I think he thinks I'm ugly and is disappointed in me.

That mushroom thing looks neat.

Askye, that's so tough.

askye, I'm sorry if your dad doesn't realize how beautiful you are. That's a really hard thing for you to be carrying around. I don't know your dad, so I can't say I'm sure it's not true, but I really hope it's not.

I've always liked my breasts, though I'm not so fond of having to buy spendy bras to accommodate them. But I think they're pretty awesome. I once dated a guy who thought they were too big. He would tell me that a perfectly sized breast should fit into a martini glass; anything bigger than that was a waste. He was a total asshole, in case you hadn't picked up on that already.
