Chit chat for November 2023

[deezaster]

I wonder if their(Abbas) first names were super popular for newborns after their fame, it’s the little things…


Like I will never understand why a b -cup sized bra is the same price as a DDD or EE - Cup sized bra?
It keeps me up at night and has for years, since I was like 15 this has been my question…

Then I discovered,
Why are bras the same price and pj’s 2XL and bigger are more expensive than XL and smaller
Now everyone says, more material in pjs or nighties

Yes there is, but there is also
more materials required in the bra as well as the bone or lift if required is also going to be longer, bra fabric, more expensive then cotton, rayon or flannel and requires more intricate work to put together…
It’s the little things that keep me up at night…

Grassy, I'm terribly sorry about your friend...a devastating shock and hard to reconcile. Milyn, I wondered about you since I haven't seen your wonderful creations of late. I hope some sunshine enters your life. You and Grassy have had such success with your weight losses, hope the holidays don't set you back too much. Oh Tilly, what a lovely treat for you and Susan. You sure take her on fun adventures! Dee, I hope your mood lifts as well. I've never been a huge Abba fan but do like their music. Thanks Huronna for all your hard work on the auction, a hugh success for sure!!!!!!!!

I made a terrific green chili verde soup, so great to have a fresh organic jalapeno from my friend's garden. Still lovely fall weather here, but getting colder.

I say a woman only needs one bra to wear with that ultra thin blouse she's had forever and refuses to throw out or give away. Or keep the blouse and burn the bra!

[silk]

Tilly what a great adventure. Love the photos.
Milyn, I am so sorry you're feeling low . We do miss seeing your interesting work. My very best wishes that you will come out of this awful time soon.
Flagryl . I wear a pretty camisole under my thin blouses. A bra too of course.Not that there is much to fill it atm.

[Huronna]

I would definitely say burn the bra!...except I have not worn one since 1985 or was it 1987. Just calculate all the $$ I have saved, enough for a cruise?

[Flagryl]

Disclosure...I am relatively flat chested and only wear a cami except for formal occasions. I could stand sideways and stick my tongue out and look like a zipper. As a teenager I kept wondering when I would develop, but it just stopped midcourse. My mother was small breasted as well. After I gave birth, I gained some. I am VERY HAPPY with my physique. Freedom....

[Huronna]

the only place I gained was in the middle and that was because I shrunk and everything just landed there.
I always wear dark colored and loose fitting blouses. If it's a T, and I have a lot of patriotic ones, they are black or navy blue and loose, I love the ones that are cropped, because I am so short waisted. I did go shopping today, needed some more summer duds for the upcoming cruise since the laundry is not free like on the Regent. Bought one pair of bermudas and 3 tops, I have to go to the petite side because if I do the regular the waist area winds up on my hips and lands down by my knees, not very attractive looking.
Well back to Deezasters madness. I thought I had all of her new ones from her private area, but the newest ones are on page 134 instead of page 1 like I'm used to. So when I looked the last couple of days I didn't see anything new, boy was I ever in for a surprise tonight. I'll be working on these for the next couple of days to say the least, but there are a bunch of thanksgiving and christmas images. so keep checking after tonight.

[Huronna]

eek gads I just figured out my feathers for the auction, I spent 300,000 and only got about 180,000, you might say I bid a lot this time.

[deezaster]

Good lord, you spent a lot of feathers lol….
Thank you again for my gifts and Silk and Penny for their lovely creations…
Well I still don’t feel great, but I bowled and thankfully we bowled against a team, that I am very good friends with, so we all just had a few laughs and enjoyed each others company. It always makes those sad 150 games feel better when you bowl against people you like..
Huronna I actually just remembered the skin rules, so the pinups from the 1940s etc may be not useable, I’m so sorry for that…
It totally escaped me, I just think during that era everyone was beautifully dressed lol Cleavage and all…. Back to the drawing board.

I was barely a b-cup my entire life, I wore training bras until I was 35 lol…then I hit 44 and my boobs suddenly appeared, my friends referred to me as a surfboard and hard to ride for many years, flat chested and a tough - girl to date ( nothing changed) until 44, and I am no longer surfboard, I am 38 EE or 40DDD
I am long legs short torso, so big boobs up top when you have no torso makes everything bigger, I too hit 50 and had the everything fell into the middle problem, So now I look like a Pear, not quite rolling around yet, but seriously rocking lol…

p.s.
I will get the rotator thingy set up for my sig etc when I get the laptop…

[Huronna]

Not to worry about the cleavage Dee, I didn't pick up that really sexy ones, there were quite a few others, that were very lovely and will be great for NEW year's tags.
I actually did 55 yesterday and had to stop. the same movements for hours was starting to bug my mouse hand. So I did a challenge , have to put a name on it and put it up for WWO.
I still have about 150 more to check out. with so many, I don't both with ones that needs a lot of touching up when they come out "of the machine" Some are perfect though, those colorful animals that are on plain backgrounds, they work the best,
Have my 6 month derm check up today, don't think there is anything exciting there and then I have to work on the tours for out Africa trip, they become available to pick later today. There are quite a few arts and there are usually between 5 and 10 different tour available. I have to read all the details and make sure that Joe will be able to do them. No stairs or mile walks, We usually do a lot of panoramic with stops now and then, or animal reserves. We do have a 3 day post cruise safari booked though. It's one that you are in a jeep not one that you have to walk in the jungles with.
So let me get the WWO up and I may be gone all afternoon.

[Grassy]

I am here. I will be back. I need to work in an hour, but I just wanted to say hi and that I am still here. I am off tomorrow so I will read everything tonight. I love you all!

[margie52501]

Good afternoon all. Tilly, thanks for the wonderful pictures of your ABBA Cruise. Looks like fun and I really like their music myself. Smilyn, to answer your question about my macular degeneration I have dry eyes. Grassy I'm like you I never liked wearing bras either. I remember my mom telling me when I was younger that I needed one. I wanted to throw that darn thing away. But now I have wear one since my breast are larger. LOL!!! Silk , sorry you have MA also and I hope you feel better soon. I can't have shots in my left eye so that's why I'm trying to go up to Iowa City to be seen. Also working on getting new glasses to. Hubby got new glasses a few days ago and can see better now. Grassy so sorry you lost your dear friend. Will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. 

[Huronna]

IT's funny , people complain when things are too small, and then others when too big, to bad we could even it out, some give and some take

[deezaster]

I blame the male species, they invented bras and corsets as well, (naturally they didn’t have to wear them, so they were perfect…) and they invented the stigmas placed on women to be perfect which literally meant being Barbie, however if she was real she would tip over lol
I once had one of my dearest male friends, buddy tell me, I would be the ideal girl if only I was big boobed and blonde, I guess he had never heard of hair dye, and I wasn’t going to be the one to let him know about it, nor the fact the girl he was hitting on at the bar was not a real blonde, and I am pretty sure she had an adams apple, karma without a hint of help lol….

[Huronna]

[1247chance]

I not complaining that anything is too big or too small .. not much there anyway but it's
just that its moved and its WAY WAY too LOW.. Wasn't down there before
oh well, gravity's winning...

[silk]

I was happy with my body until I lost a huge amount of weight, and now I don't look in the mirror. I need to buy a new bra , but since I do all my shopping online that's a hit or miss.
I bought one , but it strangles me ! Very expensive too.
Margie, my best wishes for your eye problem. How does the dry eye affect you. I imagine it's very irritating.
We have a visitor coming and my cleaner didn't turn up so I have to pretend to flip the duster around.
Hello to everyone.

[Huronna]

When Mine didn't show and I was having company, I just lower the lights and light some candles.
Works quite well HaHa

[silk]

Great idea Huronna. This was daytime. I kept her talking.

[Huronna]

Having lunch with a girlfriend, girls day...we met in Italy and then we were also stationed together in Japan.
Friends forever

[Flagryl]

Margie, my Mom had MD. She smoked until she quit at age 64 or so. Wet MD. Dry eyes, which I have, is a far different condition than Dry MD and not related at all. I think Dry MD is more treatable, you might want to check with your doc on this.

I had my checkup with my Endocrinologist yesterday. My thyroid issues go up and down and it's hard to regulate. And, I don't sleep well most of the time. I flip from hyper to hypo and have to readjust my meds on a regular basis, good thing I can sense when I'm going in either direction. Surgery is still not on the table because of my sensitivity.

Off to the dentist today for 6mo cleaning and checkup. I've finished 5 forum sets for The Zone and sent them off to Penny for the Auction in early Dec, I'm pretty proud of these.

[deezaster]

I don’t have a cleaner, I must have not got that memo, Gary is a good cleaner, lol
I mean,
I bought him a Roomba for Christmas, this year, because
………… “ Long Heart Wrenching Pause”……
I’m bloody thoughtful!!

I’m still wondering about that gift, however he is the Vacuum pusher in the house so……

I like dusting with my handy dandy extra long armed swiffer,
it’s somewhat satisfying!

[silk]

You funny girl Dee. Love that gift for Gary.
Huronna, how nice to meet up with your friend. Lunch with a girlfriend is always good . I'm planning one too.
Flagryl, you have a lot on your plate. Not sleeping isn't great. I don't know much about thyroid issues but it does sound difficult.I am one of those insomniacs too, but it's Neuropathy keeps me up. It's now 4am but I'll get a couple of hours later.
Milyn, thanks your for your good wishes. I send the same to you.

Back to bed . Best wishes to everyone.

[Huronna]

I hope I will get to bid on them Flagryl, I sent her 6 , at the end of Oct LOL, trying to get a head start on things.

[DenaRae]

Just wanted to pop in and say hello!
I haven't been able to be online much the past several months...
my MS flared up and I've been sick.
Found out I had two new lesions in my brain when I got my MRI done this year.
But I recently started a new treatment, Kesimpta, which is actually helping me feel better.
I hope to really try and learn more from you gals, cause your work is terrific!
Hugs from me!

[Huronna]

Hi DenaRae, so good to see you, sorry about the occurrence of more lesions, I heard that Kesimpta is working well for many.
We definitely understand your being missing. You just take care of yourself, and come and go when you are able.
