Time for my nightly midnight snack of choc ice cream snuggled up in bed. Queer things happen when retired, at no particular time. Sweet dreams girls.

I know there are a lot of baseball game fans out there. Here's to those boobs.

Did everyone stop discussing boobs and bras?

Ha, ha!

After being so sick, body stress, is it time to abandon the underwire? Will I get the uplift? Answers on a postcard please (ladies only to old care about chaps opinions!!!)

Boobs and how they handle ilife are very important, twas with a disparate group of wine drinkers today, and happy to note all the ladies over " " found the increasing boob displacement indicated more spills on the caboom! Have other ladies noticed this? it happens with food as well, any ideas on how to avoid (beyond not joining in) or cleaning tips !

I gave them up after cancer op. Wally World 3/10 All cotton sports bras only. Yeah! Hubby does not seem to mind. ; - )

All I can say, after today, is don't try beginner tap dancing in the kitchen, to Puttin on the Ritz, without a bra.

Had to use the hand bra. Couldn't hold the walking stick then. Don't say I never give good advice after this.

I am so uplifted by this thread. Ninja chickens and baseball bras.

On our cruise we saw this ah, young lady, with a bust so inflated it wasn't true. Passed the LGBT meet and greet on our way to golden oldies and there she was. I was charmed by the fact that a cruise had a space for them too, and why not.

Under wires.... sheer torture. I threw all mine out, back to the sports bras.

Tap dancing? I would look like a jelly in an earthquake. Total shimmy.

there was a dance like that remember? Maybe you can bring it back!

Hi HF, no bras required...just this prezzie I left for you on chooks new thread but I had to hand it to you, you know what Christmas is like...can't wait!!!

Smiffy, your caboom comment just landed, further up.

Which meaning is it? Lollol!

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=kaboom:/

I've had that discussion with other, similarly endowed, friends on several occasions. The crux is... The shelf created by a generous bosom is there expressly for the purpose of preventing food stuffs, that miss your mouth, from reaching your lap.

Clearly this is a good thing..... who wants a stain on their crotch when they could have a much more eye-catching one right on their bazookas. Or, better yet, those biscuit crumbs that miss the mouth can be retrieved and have a second attempt at entering your mouth. It's a truly attractive thing to retrieve and consume biscuit crumbs. Equally attractive is sweeping the shelf of crumbs to land on the floor.

What's a girl to do?

BTW I investigated a breast reduction earlier this year. $12,000 to $20,000 depending on what they found under anaesthetic. I'll stick to sweeping the shelf!!

Had thoughts on that topic my self 7 weed, at one time. but there was the additional problem of the sheer ugliness, have you noticed the pics? scars radiating out etc. loss of feeling to such an important tittilater - oh well, maybe not a word? versus less pain in the shoulders. Needless to say, i just never saw it as worthwhile. And now, well i can not be put under, but also, it means we don't have the sacks with the fried eggs at the end. I see this as the reward after a trying life with the suckers.

i found personally that a scarf, well layed, takes care of the crumb/spot dilemma. It also reduces the enormous number of times, someone else's crumbs have ended up there. thank goodness for bad aim!

the one thing that has always bothered me is women's and fashion's reactions. I have had women with outfits, cut up to their bum and fairly plunging necklines make negative comments about my attire, just because i have a crease up to my neck and wore a scoop neckline. It seems that because I actually have a pair, i should wear turtlenecks year round to hide them. Like wise seen swimsuits with nearly a whale tale have a minimizer on top!

Oh and as you approach middle age and beyond most of them are not getting those stains on their crotch, but on their bellies! Falalala lalala!

Don we now our Chest filled Garments...

Falalala lalala

Show us a pic before I can answer that.

hmmmm you want me to show you our chest filled garments?

7weed and Elfi, if you haven't already answered further up, where do you store the garments?

Mine are just elastic-all-in-ones. Folded up like a hankie in the drawer. Occasionally 1 floats around in my bed under a spare pillow.

Up the top of this thread I admitted to folding the bra in half then tucking the shoulder and back straps into the hollow of the cups. Then stacking them in my undies drawer. I don't own that many. When one requires engineering masterpieces to support one's breasts it is not a cheap investment.

Hang on... that sounds a bit dramatic.

They are off the shelf, but from specialist shops. It's not like I have to get them specially made each time.

$120-00 / bra not $250-00

+ 3 hour drive to the city to get them fitted.

But it's not all bad.... I get excellent support.

Here's a joke I remember from Secondary School days. Q/ What does an eighty year old have between her breasts that an eighteen year old does not? A/ Her belly button.

I know, I know.... But there is a skerrick of truth and that is what either offends or amuses, depending on your bent.

Hubby says his late wife had a similar problem. The shelf. .. mine is shelf plus extra shelf, dead right nothing lands on the crotch. I now shamelessly tuck my napkin into my cleavage to catch the drips. Looks like I'm going to eat lobster. ... what misses shelf 1 hits shelf 2 and then lands on the table. Extra napkin there.

I saw this lady on the cruise who appeared to be wearing a corset right up to her neck. With a zipper I didn't dare ask why. Was it holding her together? A scarf does a lot to hide those problem areas, besides being a great crumb catcher.

I tried pulling the wires out of my under wires. Then I just fell out of the bottom. There is some vital engineering trick I just deconstructed.

problem with napkin in the cleavage, is it seems to create a direct shoot, requiring you then to go to restroom and shake yourself out?

7 weed, your two comments from last Tuesday just landed here. Thanks!

Napkin to lap! Thats what fine young footmen do for you! Or in my current case put it there your self, ladies your bosom gets no protection other than your skill at wielding the eating irons! Jabhan.....Thats why poms eat such boring food tee hee hee,I like the though of your no doubt ample cleavage suffering..remember my mother always managed a drip........or two.bless,

Thank you. I'm in the dumps and ready to risk a PC stuff up. Just to speak with you all and get cheered up! I would rather like that but fiddling around on my lap is cute to! I do so love a well trained footman, don't you! I got rid of the bronchitis, developed a computer bug, sorted that , got my gun licence! And am considering using the old windows PC to avoid issues! Thank you for asking and thank you for caring.

OK you lot say "Katie Thomas", and pray for her, or if like me you don't pray appeal the gods or just think her name for a small time to ease her passage, thank you.

Ok, we will.

thats my girls, no one pass unlauded, each of us add to the sum of her being.

No worries mate, tuck your breaking heart back in your chest, you're among friends here.

she was a significant woman, she was involved in the research for "mad cow" one of the few qualified to handle.

She has left a legacy.

time for a party!!

chookie as a side line she left a very good looking son and a lot of money! that would make her smirk! she's was like me a natural grump!

Well at least she was not a mad cow.

I have an image of a cow in a lab coat, rubbing her hooves together , doing a "mad scientist" evil cackle!

Bless you all shed laugh out loud, but ...of cause she was a mad cow aren't we all, we are just not experts in cruitsfeld Jacobs (mad cow to you!)

I'm back to bed. Take care.

Ah f it Kate would be so cross, is the boob thing dying a death? She was proud of her boob thing...well she was a big girl....were should I be now?

THREAD CLOSED. Thank you to contributors.

Learning how to sew is on my wish list.
