I hate bras but have to wear them my life TOTALLY changed when I discovered these: [link]

these are my stay at home and sleep bras. I can't be comfortable with nothing, but these have few seams and last awhile before I stretch them out too much. Trying to find comfortable, fitting bras is a huge challenge. I'm in the beyond 3 D territory. Not that they are any wonder to look at. they are just overly large bags of tissue at this point.

Ple I bought some cozy bras and I like them great for home/day off. Not for work though because of nipples showing.

Matthew's mom got a Christmas tree. It's quite with multi colored lights. Scrappy discovered it and scaled it. There is video on FB.

I have a confession. I didn't vote in the local election today. I am not registered in SC yet because I don't have my car registered and a driver's license. I had the money but had to put it toward car repairs and I'm getting it done this month.

SC is not cheap, if you bring a car into the state there is a $250 one time fee Everyone has to pay property tax in their cars every year so I have to pay that. And fines for being late and the actual registration and license. Before I moved down here I was talking to someone who paid over $400 to get their car and license.

I have no idea what the yearly property taxes will be. Matthew's is $50 and then he has to pay for his registration for the year. You would think SC would have amazing roads but it doesn't. Anyway I feel guilty for not voting but I would have gotten this taken care of if it was the Primary.

Also SC has no early voting. Everyone has to vote in person on Tuesday unless they got the requirements for an absentee ballot.

Askye, if it makes you feel better, I just literally forgot. I am too stressed and spaced it. It was not as big a deal as spacing my apartment inspection.

In re bras, I am sort of in love with Third Love, because they fixed the falling off my shoulder issue. I like u derrières, but I also like to be all tucked in everywhere ( I like tights and pantyhose, too). When I lost weight, I went from a 42 F to a 36F, probably a 34 now, so it was a challenge.

I should investigate Third Love because I've never been able to get a proper fit. Even when someone measures me I have to get a way different size than what the measurements said.

I wear various super-supportive sports bras to sleep in, but I'm just busty enough in my regular waking life (and devoted enough to vintage wear that requires a specific silhouette) that I generally stick with the wired-but-shockingly-comfortable Waocoal bras ita always recommended.

As one who once had a really small waist and round hips, the straight-on even numbered sizes fit me better than either the odd numbered sizes, or the combo sizes (like 5/6 or 7/8).

By the time I was 12, I had an adult-type waist/hip ratio, and I was 4'8". There was zero chance that junior sizes were ever going to fit me, even in the baggy jean nineties.

I think that people need Trudys old lady bra fitter people, but what I have found is people seem happier and more supported with a really tightly measured band, with no weird add 2" or anything. just pull that measuring tape right! Then you are looking at the difference between that size and the size of your boobs, but they sag and are hard to measure without wearing a bra, so you have to try a few. But I find so many college girls wesring something like a 36B when they would be better off with d Something like a 32F, which is hard to find. The strap thing for me is that I have really small shoulders, especially when ai was bigger, comparative to my band size, so they were literally patterned as if my rib cage matched my band size. Third love had a good racer back fit that fixed this, but even their regular styles were better about me not having huge shoulders even if I was big around the middle, I also did good with it's Waco all recommendation, but third love was actually cheaper! But it also means priorities. I can be OK with spending a lot of money for one bra that aihand wash a lot because ai am, like JZ, pretty committed to a certain silhouette. And these are comfortable for that silhouette. I think the scrappy/Jessica bras are great and affordable and perfect if you don't need or want the vintage feel

So after my analyst was out sick for 2½ weeks, and after two days of me trying to contact him, he finally returned my call today to tell me he will be out sick for two more weeks; he'll be back at work on the 18th. I have no idea what's wrong with him, he's extremely guarded about his personal life.

I'm handling it, and I'm not handling it. I'm angry at him for being sick; I'm angry at him for how unprofessional he's been dealing with his illness (he didn't have my number on his phone and he had to get someone to find my number on his office rolodex). I'm also very lonely at this point. But mostly I just feel numb right now.

On the other hand, at least I'm sleeping OK at this point, at least he DIDN'T DIE, and THANK GOD he'll be back before the holidays.

Wow, Tom. That is really hard. You should be proud of how well you have handled the disruption.

Oh, man, Tom, I'm so sorry. That's so not at all your fault and hard to deal with.
