I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I happen to know my sourdough starter is from Alaska (I got it from my niece who got it from a summer camp organizer whose family has maintained it for 100 years or so and they brought it down from Alaska), as a data point. I suppose it could have gotten to Alaska by way of SF but I have no reason to thinks so. It's my understanding that it's not so much the local wild yeast that changes the taste as different environmental conditions - temperature, humidity, etc. If you keep your initial starter well fed and strong the new yeast can't get much of a foothold.

You are done with escrow, now, right Perkins? The stiff was messengered over like it was supposed to and that chapter is closed?

In conclusion, glitter!

Yes! Glitter, and Hookers and Blow!

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I went shopping for bras and got a fitting today.

Where did you go? I probably need to be fitted again.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I have tried to get replacements for my favorite bars 3 times the last 2 weeks. no luck. I am going to just order them online. 2 stores had the style, but none my size. 1 store had none of the style. hates them all.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I do need more bras. I don't have enough. The good ones I do have don't really get much of a rest. But the styles I can find that fit well and flatteringly for my peculiarly odd-sized rack (I mean, it's peculiar that they're an odd size--I'm not as simultaneously skinny and big boobed as I used to be, but I still can't find comfortable flattering bras in cheap styles) cost too fucking much for me to stock up on.

My favorite of the 2 I bought was $75. And I'm not even busty, so I'm not spending on high-tech engineering or anything. Steph, I went to Knickers in Hyde Park Square. It is spendy, but they are very nice, and I was able to tell her what I wanted (underwire, no lining or padding, not stretch lace) and she brought me everything they had in my size, and gave good advice about fit.

Steph, I went to Knickers in Hyde Park Square.

I've heard good stuff about them. I'll have to check them out.

At the store I go to, I automatically send back everything they give me to try over $100. However good those will make my breasts look, I can do without. However, if they're also incredibly comfortable, I will just have to weep and move on.

The difference between these and the Wacoals that used to fit is that I no longer look like I'm wearing a nursing bra all the time. Which, is seriously good.

My sister has bigger boobs than I have, and a slender frame, but her bras are all prettier than mine. I'm not sure how she manages that.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I have been wearing these most of the time: [link] They sell them at Walgreens for cheap and they have a cup insert if you want it to have more coverage. No more underwires!

Of course, I am so lazy that on skating days I wear a sports bra under my work clothes so I have less to change when I get to the rink. [link]

I get way too much Genie spam to consider actually buying the product. Because I'm bitter, way bitter. Also, does a L really fit a 32 rib cage? That's a lot of dependency on elastic to span all those rib and cup dimensions in one size. I'm conventionally attached to my more tailored support. Also, never had a problem with underwire. Cheerfully wear it all the time. These girls like to move around. Infrastructure is important, or I can't even use the stairs in polite mixed company.
