I'm going with "not real." I admit I don't really know plastic surgery works, but there's like not enough skin between boobs to accommodate a (relatively) big implant, much less make it look like an actual boob. Right?

mater hospital belfast, my cousin nearly died giving birth there too :( never go back for any reason

I had a completely uneventful pregnancy. The only thing that was out of the ordinary was the fact that it took me three years to get pregnant. But other than that, it was normal. I went into labour on a Friday. Contractions sucked, but I managed them. Friday night I even drove to go get take out. Saturday was worse,…

At this point, he began angrily shaking a bottle of ketchup, dumped it all over his once-beautiful porterhouse

Sir Pinkham, I was having an absolute Monday of a Monday morning and needed a distraction. I thought, I wonder if BCO is up, that will surely perk me up. Lo and behold, THERE IT WAS, bless your ever-snarking soul.
