Oh, it's a strange world when I look at the weather and go "Oh, thank god, only 96 degrees."
It's simple. I slap 'em around a bit, torture 'em, make their lives hell...Sure, the nice guys'll run away,but every now and then you'll find a prince like Spike who gets off on it.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Happy Day to the Buffista-Americans!

French 75 Popsicles for tonight in the freezer. But I didn't realize the Popsicle set I got only makes four. Four! So I have most of a pitchers worth of delicious cocktail, and several hours until people get here. Uh oh.

Also if anyone else is hiding out inside, the history channel doc on the revolution is fascinating.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Thank you for this discussion. I have never been measured and I have an irrational avoidance to be measured. I need professional assistance. There is a store called "The Bra Lady" or something, so I might try them or the Nordstrom.
I worry that I will be a sarameg and after all that, not find a bra I like.

The other thing with Nordie's is that whatever they tell you your proper size is, different bras fit differently. They'll bring in multiple bras and some varying sizes to find the ones that really work. And while they are not cheap as a rule, there was more than one they brought in that I bought that was in the $20 range. (Others more like $70 though.)

Pretty sure that's required by law.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
LeN, the store I buy from, Intimacy, measures without touching. I don't know what kind of dark magic they perform, but I have six bras from them, and five are absolute winners (and one has a strap that keeps falling off my shoulder--but my boobs look fine). They take care of all the bra size translation, keeping a record of what brands and sizes I buy from them.
I don't mind being touched, but if anyone is hesitant, that might be less intimidating.
Just got back from The Heat. Which was funny--good lord, should I ever meet Melissa McCarthy I will hug her and rest my head on her shoulder and sigh with happiness and suggest we go for drinks. And it was sweet where I expected, and garnered a couple rounds of applause from the 4th of July matinee crowd. And, unlike the i've-seen-it-all-in-the-preview guy predicted, only one quasi-fat joke, and that from a bad guy. Thing is, for all he was sure the trailers gave away--how did he know what case they are investigating and what's at stake?
Bumped into a former co-worker from UCLA Med there. UCLA Med I miss only because the co-workers felt like they were really my age, not that people my age had to act older. I think I remember it unfairly wistfully. It was nice to see him--he passed on a couple knives to me while I worked there, and his oldest kid is doing krav now, which is very touching. I got the job through krav--one of the students worked there and told her boss to stop hemming and hawing over the resumes and just take a chance on me.
She works for Microsoft now, apparently.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Just got back from The Heat. Which was funny
I saw a preview for it back when we saw Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters, and since it was an R-rated movie, there was an R-rated preview for The Heat (there was even a special warning before the preview). And it looked funny as HELL.
only one quasi-fat joke
The trailer really made me want to see it, but I was so, SO wary, because of fat jokes. I am SO glad to hear the movie skips them.
It's pouring down rain here, so I think fireworks are not on the schedule for tonight. Maybe we'll go see The Heat instead.
