I don't know what we're going to do. We really needed this job. We only have 35k in savings.

Guess this means IVF is put off.

I just can't win in life.

I'm so sorry Scarlet

I hope he gets another job soon

Camisole tops? Bra or braless? I am such a fashion idiot. Not to mention my breasts which i hate. This one has some sort of support in it but it feels not right

How much support do you usually need/want?

When I come to Seattle, I can visit you too! But I also want to go to Bloomingdales and I want really good cheesecake.

Europeans have like NO concept of how huge North America is. You guys get on a train, and in a couple of hours maybe, youre in another country. Here, in a couple of hours, all youve done is taken a bus to a train station.

With the traffic in So Cal sometimes a couple of hours means you go from Pomona to Pasadena and you still aren't anywhere in Los Angeles.

Or crossed like an eighth of Texas. Or gotten stuck in rush hour traffic.

This is so true lol. I was really surprised when I took a plane from Orlando to NY and it took 2 hours. 2 hours and I'm in Paris!

ETA - Just checked and it's 90 minutes to Paris from here.

Yeah, I was thinking Seattle, Michigan, nowhere near each other. It is a big country. When we moved from the southeastern US to the Pacific Northwest, it was a pretty long journey. 4 days by car.

Okay, maybe I didn't realize how not-big the UK is. According to this wikipedia article it's about 874 miles.

We used to have busses like that in our country.

I am still looking for a bra that does that. Since i was medically menopaused 18 months ago i ahev put on weight and have gone from being really flat chested to a D cup which still gives me cleavage not matter what bra i try. I am not sure what they are supposed to look like but i really dont like cleavage. I just hate them and want them to go away basically. Its just getting too hot here to wear my usual sleeved t shirts

We've had exchange students think they're going to be able to rent a car to go to Texas or LA for the weekend, and they are surprised how long it takes to fly across the country.

It actually is a fun conversation to have, when we look at the map and they see (for most of them, depending on where they're from) that we have states that are bigger than their entire country.

If it’s a D cup (and a D is the same size there as here) then camisole with a bra. You could maybe get the camisole a size bigger than you need so they cover more?

Or, a bra with a tank top over it?

Final suggestion, some sports bras can provide good coverage.

Anyone else on here play HQ trivia? I'm not good but it's fun to keep trying. Tonight is "Friends" night, so I should do fairly well

WarmFuzzySocks · Nov 08, 2018 at 06:50 PM

BCM- In addition to @@'s suggestions, what about a bra and a sleeveless t-shirt with a crew or v-neck? Even the v-neck ones don't really show a ton of cleavage if they're cut right, they just offer a little more ventilation.

My father went to get an outpatient procedure done on Monday to get a nodule removed off his throat. Once they remove them they send the module out for testing. Today the results came back positive for cancer. So now he has to go see an oncologist next week so they can decide what test to run to see if all stayed contained in the nodule that was removed or if it’s in his throat/esphosgaus.

Thanks @@ and wfs for the suggestions. I have sevral tank tops and sleeveless t shirts but i found this cami in my wardrobe and it looks so nice except. It has wrap that goes with it so it might cover up some. I just panicked because i looked down. it may look different in the mirror too.

Where does one find the best-cut v-necks? I stopped wearing them because they kept slipping up so the v was at my neck.
