Yeah, curvy definitely seems overused as a word, and it does seem like something that divides women unnecessarily. I try to catch myself but I know I fall into the trap sometimes. I love the way my body type looks on me when I'm in clothes that don't hide it (or like a bikini, I guess), but the rest of the time I look…

I guess clothes shopping just sucks for everyone. Who is clothes made for then, mannequins? o.O

Both good points, and I wasn't trying to insult other people about it. I definitely don't like the whole "real women have curves" thing. But I also don't like the way Amoura acted like curvy and thin are two completely different categories, like if you're curvy you can't possibly be considered thin. Curvy=/=plus…

It would just be useful to see clothes models with larger breasts. I get distracted by how tiny they are and I can't tell if the dress is going to be ridiculously loose underneath my boobs (30DDD, <25 inch waist, 40 inch hips. I love my figure but nothing fits me...and I kind of wish my waist was smaller for aesthetic…

And just because I think this screenshot is awesome, here's the Grim Reaper playing with their cat with a laser pointer.

Yeah, Sims 3 has all kinds of things now. I love the open world instead of loading screens like in 1 and 2. Vampires have been around for a while, but Werewolves, Fairies, and Witches/Wizards came out in the Supernatural expansion. It's occasionally cut down in price dramatically during Steam sales if you want to look…

Sweet! My current family consists of an obese female fighter pilot who is also a witch and enjoys turning random people into toads, her husband, a bisexual fairy who wants to be the boyfriend of as many different Sims as possible, and their son, a gay wizard musician. Also in the same house is a couple consisting of a…

I'm in the US and I know bra sizes are different between the UK and the US. I would be a 30E in the UK, but 30DDD/F in the US. Thanks for the suggestion.

Ooh thanks! I've tried Nordstrom, but I found the saleswoman was pretty pushy and I had to return the bra because I hadn't realized I needed a backless one at the time, and it was $70 and that's too much money for me. I have a 38C strapless bra that's maybe not ideal but covers everything and fits okay, and I'm…

I hate how they assume women with small chest frames have tiny boobs and women with larger chest frames have large boobs, as if those correlate perfectly. I have the reverse problem. Bra shopping is the worst, for most women I would guess. :(

I'm 30DDD and that's not particularly easy to find either, but I imagine for different reasons. 32DD, 34D and 36C should be equivalent to my size in terms of cup volume as sister sizes, and I get any of those instead, but I've been looking for a strapless, backless bra for my wedding dress and 34D does not work, at…

It does get soggy, but if I let it sit for maybe 5 minutes afterward it ends up okay.

Defrost the bread in the microwave or oven.

I keep mine in the freezer.

Yeah, my grandparents were with me all the time as a kid, and my mom is an elementary school teacher specialized in gifted education and together they were able to give me a great head start. I was always really ahead of the curve in writing/reading skills, but my speaking/listening, motor, and social skills were all…

I internalized "girl=bad, boy=good" pretty hard as a kid, and I'm trying to overcome it but obviously I still have a lot of overcoming to do. I also completely shut down from playing with anything at all, even quit going to recess to stay in study hall voluntarily every day, around 3rd grade and got to a point where I…

I apologize. Rereading my post, it does come across that way. Just spent 3 hours talking to tech support when I already knew what was wrong and just wanted a box shipped to me so I could get it fixed under the warranty, and they wouldn't believe me until the very end, so I'm not in a very good place right now. :/

Why can't you use hot wheels or a T-Rex Lego set to tell a story about dysfunctional families? I used the pieces from a Pokemon board game (with pictures of the Pokemon on them). If I wanted detail, I just wrote a story in a notebook. Pretty sure I filled at least one notebook full of stories before kindergarten…

When your favorite thing ever is in STEM and requires a lab, it would probably be hard to do as a hobby, though.

I combined steps 1 &2 (full ride+living expenses covered to a pretty good state school) and did 2.5 years of undergrad research and a year as a tutor at my school's tutoring center while also taking 16-18 credit hours each semester. I'm working on a PhD now, but I'd like to think if I could get into 9 out of 10 highly…
