Well, I did go through a very late puberty (menarche at around 18 or so if I remember correctly) but I didn't get a 'growth spurt' in that area until the next year.

Is it weird that I would be MORE apt to buy them if they were called that? And maybe had sweet flames and an angry devil that is kinda in the style of Ratfink?

No freaking idea. If I knew, I'd bottle it and sell the shit.

That immediately reminded me of The IT Crowd and Douglas Reynholms sexy robot hand.

The last guy I dated told me one of the reasons he broke it off with me was because I wasn't the type of woman he could take home to meet his parents. Granted, I do have a full sleeve of tattoos (birds and flowers, oh nooooes!) but he said it was mostly my chest and the way my body is built. He liked me...but he…

I went from not owning a bra (I wanna say I was a 34AA?) to being a 36H in just a few years.

Since I'm so tall I used to get the 'Oh, you should be a model!!' all the time. I knew I was at a bad point when my aunt said 'well, at least you're smart!'

I've been both super thin and fat (6'1 tall, around 120 lbs at my adult lightest, 240 at my heaviest) and it really was night and day the way I was treated. I started out thin and didn't realize the amazing privilege I received as a thin person. Sure, I got the snide 'eat a cheeseburger' comments but I usually just…

If you're lactose intolerant you can also try goats milk. It's not fool proof, but I know many people who can drink it (or use goat cheese) without a problem even though they can't handle cows milk.

UGH. I'm in Boston and take the T to work (...and everywhere else too I suppose) and I'm so sick of dudes who just spread out taking up 2 or 3 seats, or the ones who are perfectly content snuggled up against me when there's PLENTY of room available.

Mine too.

I actually spoke to a lawyer friend of mine and he said that the FMLA leave protection didn't exist anymore after those 12 weeks, and since it was an 'at will' employer they could fire me at any time for any reason once those weeks were up. I had no legal case whatsoever.

The company I used to work with purposely hired interns so they could get away with not paying actual employees and were quite proud of it. I mean, I felt bad for the Aerospace/aviation kids who ended up scanning and organizing documents for hours a day for free and didn't learn ANYTHING about the industry doing it. …

Ah yes. One of my favorite things was being in maintenance meetings (I was the only woman in a dept. of 15 or so) and getting to hear them talk about the need to get a 'hot chick' in maintenance while grunting and laughing. Or doing some rivet work and half mooning 2 or 3 out of 50 or so rivets and getting told I'm…

Yes...but they can fire you the day after those 12 weeks are up so your job is only 'protected' for those 12 weeks. I didn't have a baby, but I did get a horrible infection (which ended up making me go into sepsis/organ failure and nearly dying) which required me to be in the hospital on constant IV antibiotics/meds,…

I'm in aviation and it's definitely an old boys club. At my last job I went and talked to my boss to ask him if he could give me some advice because I was planning on going to tech school to get my mechanic certificates (A&P) and he flat out told me that women don't belong on the shop floor and that I should work on…

I didn't even own a bra until I was 21 or so...no boobs whatsoever. Of course, I also didn't have my first period until I was almost 19 due to medical issues. I got bullied a lot for being over 6' tall (hit 6' when I was 11 or so) and a beanpole and then when I did go through puberty I both caught up and shot way…

When I was in college (getting a degree in Aerospace Engineering) I noticed that if I blurted out answers 'auction style' I wouldn't receive praise like the guys would...I would get eye rolls and jokes about how women shouldn't be in engineering. So, I learned very early on to keep quiet and only answer when I was…

Ain't that the truth.

I've found it's super easy to keep guys away from you if you're over 6' tall and have visible tattoos. Both of those things are basically man-repellent. Of course, it has the down side of never going on dates and being perpetually alone, but you win some you lose some.
