We can come by between classes. Usually I use that time to copy over my class notes with a system of different colored pens. But it's been pointed out to me that that's, you know...insane.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Freshpair is also a good source. I actually found myself a sports bra that a) doesn't have underwire b) doesn't give me monoboob and c) actually comes in a 34F. Finding that thing was akin to spotting a unicorn in the back yard.

MM, it is very good to see you around again!

Our wings are not tired.

I hope this is the year that I burn my bras. I didn't wear them until I was nearly 40 and gained weight. My fervent wish is to go back to camisoles. Soon. t old hippie

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I usually order my bras from figleaves.com. I've found one bra that works for me, and that seems to be the only online place that carries it in my size. (Because of my shoulder problems, I need the straps to be set pretty close in to my neck, and most bras that come in my cup size have straps set further out, which puts pressure on some already-painful parts of my shoulder joint.)

Thrive to spite them

I got my pants from lands end and they fit although the material is a little thinner than I remembered.

But all the pockets are sewn shut so tightly I'm afraid I'll rip them if I try anything to get them open. What's the best way to cut the po keys loose without destroying the pants? I don't have any kind of sewing stuff just a large pair of scissors and a smaller pair somewhere and a bunch of knives.

I got the pockets open. But caused some minor damage I think is mostly cosmetic and won't be visible.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Nail scissors would be your best bet, cuticle clippers. Or fingernail clippers, if you're careful. If you do have to go buy something, get a seam ripper from the sewing section of a department, possibly a drug store, or a fabric or craft store. Safest way to do the job.

When Emmett left for college he left one instruction for Matilda: "Teach her the good comedy, Dad."

So we're watching Bob's Burgers and she doesn't know what Erotic Friend Fiction is.

I actually found some good bras at Lane Bryant. I bought them because they matched my skin tone, but they have proved to be quite flattering. More than my $60 Walcoals.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Askye, in summer a sprinkler on a motion detector will deter the neighborhood cats. However since neither of us is cruel enough to do that in a New England winter (not to mention that it's not practical anyway), you might think about trying something like this: [link] or the SSSCat spray. I am not entirely certain how well those will work out in the cold, but it might be worth a try. If Penny is feeling territorially threatened, who knows how she will try to defend her territory.
