    We do have cookies, but we call them "cakes". Normally don't have hard liquor, but there's ale, grog and mead, if that works for you. Haha

    It's weirder with me because every other girl in my family has the typical Asian chest sizes and I have to explain that I inherited my breast size from my father.

    I actually like underwire too, but I have horror stories of bad brands that have seriously hurt me.

    That's another reason why I'm loving my DKNY & Calvin Klein t-shirt bras—in the last 3~ish years regardless of my cup-size I have never once had an issue of stabbing underwire or underwire poking out or coming out or any of that nonsense. In a lot of ways, the t-shirt bras you barely feel it there at all, which is another plus.

    But I also like certain sports bra without the wire, but I find they work best if they are halter or racerback—otherwise they don't support enough. But sometimes the weight hurts my neck or shoulders.

    I throw most my bras in the washer, but only on delicate cycle, and then I always hang dry.

    I've finally figured out the conspiracy.

    Big washing machine, though the media, glorified larger breasts.
    This led to an increase in breast implants.
    Which led to an increase in underwire bras.
    Which destroyed more washing machines, so they could sell more.

    I could see that. All the women in my family (on both sides) are similar in chest size to me, so I at least don't get crap from them.

    It's not that I get crap from them. . . it's more that I can't get any advice or help in those areas, and they don't understand my struggles.

    Like my mom, at her heaviest, is still an A cup and she has a thick padded bra to have a more average silhouette (for Americans).

    Although she is quick to point out that my outfits shows cleavage—but with larger size, it's nearly impossible to have the girls never peaking through. My flat friend shared her tank top with, which actually fit, but while she looked casual adorable I looked like I was advertising my chest. My best friend jokingly calls them "pornstar cleavage" (which is hilarious, because we have no experience with porn so we don't have any actual point of reference).

    But like for my brother's wedding, it was so hard to find a bridesmaid dress (we had colours to adhere to, but picked our own dresses) because everything seemed to have neon flashing lights pointing at my girls. And like my sister or the other girls could wear lower necklines & still look proper and I wear them but look like a straight-up skank.

    And my family is very prim, proper, conservative when it comes to clothing—I could look as unconventional as I liked (with my mother's license but to my father's chagrin) so long as I keep everything completely covered.

    But sadly no one had advise on how to accomplish such feats because no one else had my figure.

    It's basically impossible to wear anything and not have it look like you're advertising. At least for me it is. I tend to wear a lot of cardigans or shrugs to pull attention to the contrasting color/neckline and add something that doesn't make the silhouette so in-your-face obvious. And NO necklaces. That's what I do for weddings/parties/family gatherings (which sucks in the summer). It doesn't cover it up, but it does help distract from them a little.

    The funniest thing is - it's usually my grandmother that's telling me not to bother trying to cover them up and just be happy.

    At home I just don't care. I wear tank tops and shorts and am comfortable.

    :superlaugh: hilarious.

    I had this number call my house once - during my kids birthday party - and I ignored it, it called back, I ignored it, it called back. I answered. It's this guy talking about some charity he wants me to donate to. I'm laughing, he can barely speak english, and he's begging. I told him yeah, I'd get right on that. He tells me he loves my voice, I say 'yeah, it's hot isn't it?' he agrees. I put him on speakerphone (kids upstairs just adults in the room). He tells me he loves me. 'I love you Treesha'. "Really? Omg, I've been waiting my whole life for this" he laughs. 'Yes, yes, me too. You are very special lady' Yes, I really am. Anyway, I played with him for a good half hour before bringing the hammer down. It was a fun day.

    Can't listen to the original audio at the moment, but my former roommate had a pretty good strategy for dealing with telemarketers:

    Listen to the first thirty seconds of their pitch while making encouraging noises.

    Say "Wow, tell me more!"

    Set the phone down and continue about your day.

    This was in landline days, when only the caller would incur fees, don't know if it still works or not.

    I've kinda given up on writing my current story.

    I've kinda given up on writing anything.

    It's just not working—and by it I actually mean I'm not working.

    Bleh.

    So I'm at Waffle House enjoying my usual when a small girl (around 6) comes in asking me and others if we'd like to buy some candy. I assume this was for charity -- but damn, talk about a strange happening.

    We just leave it to answering machine on the landline. I always think it sounds sarcastic because it's really kinda fake but enthusiastic. And it's got this old American accent for some reason."Helllooo. Please leave a message after the tone."

    Is Nikolaos a female name in the US? Kinda like Nikita?

    (Reading a book where a character is trying to guess who this mysterious person is and she seems to think it must be a woman).

    Doesn't sound like a US name. Maybe she was an immigrant? Nikolaos makes me think Greek or from the surrounding areas.

    @Link the Writer I'm not sure. Turns out it is a female character, a child no less. I just find it so weird cos I keep thinking of like a bearded Greek saint or something. :rofl:

    I thought the same way! Like it was the name of an aged Greek philosopher.

    Also, a roach, really?!

    I'd be terrified if I found one in our apartment. :eek:

    They aren't very common over here so I haven't built any level of nonchalance against them.
