Anyone for Coffee? (no boys allowed)

I can't lick my nose, its more a case of being able to get my elbow to my face rather than tounge to my elbow.

I know, it is a questionable gift ;) I personally would like to be able to make a circle with my tongue, or to flip it upside down. I think those are much more interesting tricks :)

I knew a girl who could make a W with her tongue

:eek2: Is that really possible? Wow... I would not have thought that...

I would like to see a "splitted tongue" (literal, not figuratively) once - I think that would be interesting. Not sure why I want to meet someone who has it though, I mean - I have seen it on TV... I guess I am just fascinated by it :brickwall. I read somewhere online that there are actually people who achieve such a tongue by self modification (no surgery)! Not sure whether I have to respect that or just deem it as crazy. Probably both...

I can't lick my nose or my elbow (hilariously random topic haha), but I can smell myself. It doesn't even have to be lotion- every now and then I catch a whiff of my soap. And my hair always has a fragrance.

That's freaky looking! It's a recessive genetic thing, but I have a friend who can do it.

OK the boys wittering on the subject of bras has annoyed me enough to go digging whihc wasnt that easy concidering the search engine requires 4 letters in a word, but I found them. This is what we thought way back when we were originally discussing bras.

Last year I was wondering around a bra shop and saw that some brightspark thought you could have H cup bra with tiny ribbon straps, now think about that logically for a minute, and I actually know a case of this happening with a brand new bra wit a girl in the larger sizes, that is NOT going to work either you end up with cuts on your shoulders from the straps.... or and this is what happened to the poor person ... you bend over the bra snaps and you end up with half your bra falling out in public.... mortification.

On other bra related matters.... apparantly underwire bras can badly damage breasts in early teens... apparntly you supposed to buy them flexi bras... or nonwired, which for some reason are almost impossible to buy nowadays in the really small sizes. :eek2:

In the first place, there's not much selection when you get on up there in size. The selections available may or may not be comfortable or they may not go with your clothes. Try finding a strapless in anything beyond a DD. Or a T back. Or a smooth cup for wearing under T-shirts. And why do they have those flimsy straps on bigger bras? They cause permanent grooves to form in the shoulders. And why are the padded straps so ugly? And you're pretty much stuck wearing underwire.

And what if you did want something in a color other than beige or black or white? Try finding a cute bra in a large size. If you find one, it's probably VERY expensive. And where do companies get off charging $60 for a bra that's going to fall apart anyway???

Did you know that the life span of a bra is supposed to be 3-6 months? (this was actually my job once upon a time). Why would you pay $60 bucks for something that's going to last 3 months? But the more bras you have the longer they last, especially if you don't wear the same one everyday. The sweat and body oils break a bra down (that's what they told me in bra training class :lol:). To make a bra last longer, you're supposed to either hand wash it or put it in the washing machine in a pillowcase or a lingerie bag. This keeps the bra from getting all twisted up in the spinner. It also protects the underwire. If you put your bra in the washing machine by itself you'll warp the underwire and it will dig into your skin and cut you.


And Sports Bras...try finding one that fits anyone who is not a member of the itty bitty t**** committee. Enell - $60. Recommended by Oprah. but you have to special order it and the sizes run weird. It works better than the other options out there, if you have the patience to wait for it. And you can't try it on before purchase... If you can't find a sports bra, you just gotta where two or three to go jogging in.

Exactly exactly!

uh hvent had the problem then again they dont really make that many bras in sizes biigger than a DD or say the most an E , I once went to the specialist lingre shop we have in town and the people ther told me there was no such thing as a size bigger than a DD... eh what? But I have seen Fs with padded cups...why?



Well humm that might explain a lot... Ive never heard thaparicular phrase shal...:D

Hummm have you tried ...I think Doreen bras nonwired and plenty of support problem is you end up with permenant scars on your waist and hips f you wear them all the time. Mind you I havent been able to find that particular model as were of bra with the long waist for a couple of years...

You know what, obviously making bras is the way to make lots of money, never mind uni maybe I should start making nice bras in larger sizes for a living :D :p

I reckon it hasnt really changed much but what do you think? In fact if anything the trying to get bras delimmea is getting worse. But its too early in the morning to rant.:p

I cannot believe what has happened to bras in the last couple of years. Why are they now being made so that they could stand up and walk away by themselves, and why are they so thick you add nine sizes. I am into dance and have to bind so that I don't look ridiculous because I am a fourty incher and quite wide. (I wish they were attached with velcro so I could take these babies off and put them up on the shelf once in a while.I am so weary of them)
So I look and look for one made normally, you know just out of cloth and they cost like a hundred dollars.
So, since I am really into sewing I am designing and making my own, just how I like them and I am going to make them minimizer, soft, pretty and not rubberized so you can pull children down a snowy hill in them when you don't want them anymore.
Oh for the days when I was so small and nothing that people used to say I should wear bandaids. What on earth happened, it must be those swine hormones. :(

Hehe :lol: Velcoro? No imagine when the velcoro starts to wera out oneday you'd bend over and they would just fall off. Cant count the number of times Ive wished that we were more like cats and they only appeared when you needed them for babies then dissapeared again.
The plus side is of course you always have a convient surface for balancing things, although plates of hot food or cups of tea is not a good idea, FYI :nod: :D :rolleyes:

Have you never seen the infamous "Lizard Man" http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y15...lizard_man.jpg
I remember seeing some show on him years ago. They interviewed his girlfriend at the time. She was a totally normal looking, pretty blonde girl. Can you imagine being intimate with someone like this? *shudders*

Alright, the purpple purse has been dissed! So I walk into class today and the lady that sits infront of me says "oh that's a purple purse" to which I replied "I know, it might be a little much but I love it!" and she said "It's purple" and there was a definite tone.

I

Defend your purple purse to the DEATH! Purple purse=awesome!
My purse is a zebra :D!

BRAS! I am a horseback rider, and while I am a little girl, I have bigger boobies. Sports bras offer me no support, and I`m not sure why- I`ve been fitted for one on a few different occasions, and I think it`s just the build of my ribcage and shoulders. So, I`ll be doing sitting trot or jumping, and my concentration is often broken by how badly my chest hurts from bouncing. I can`t afford to keep buying new bras every time I add five pounds to my frame or take it away (it all goes to or comes from the boobs). What`s a girl to do!

The only thing worse than bra muffin top is the boob hammock- HUGE brassieres with loose shoulder straps that don`t really... DO... anything.

She's just jealous she can't rock a purple purse like you can, Papaya! ;) I think you should post a pic of it so we can see!

I have a bunch of friends with this problem, Becca. One of them used to ride in her regular bra with a heavy-duty sports bra over top. :sick: I feel bad for you, though I have no idea what it's like.

Good points Night! :)

Becca, I can sympathize, have you tried binding yourself like we do for dance when too big. Just fashion a straight bandeau with velcro(that word again) or hook and eye and it just sort of flattens. Or try a minimizer bra, that might help. there really is no solution.
My girlfriend had a breast reduction , she was huga mungo but she nearly died. I mean it. Something happened a reaction to some meds and she developed a horrendous burn all around the breasts. It was horrific. took about a month to come around and start healing Oh she loves it now, but it scared me right out of wanting the same.

so much ado over mammory glands. sigh......

I love purple purses, saw a sweet one in leather and one in I think raw silk. hubba hubba.
you go Papaya, be your own woman. or as some guys say it woe-mannnnnnnn. :)

ugh! How in this day and age can a man ever think it's ok to call a female coworker "baby"????:flare::flare:
