Um, no. If I put my legs together, instead of some sort of "thigh gap" you get the Hurley H. Which means anything tight rides uppppppp and rubs and chafes. Have you ever experienced crotch chafing? That is what skinny jeans are to me. Popular, expensive crotch chafers. No thank you. (Folks that have the body for them,…

YES! x1000000! (For those of you who are unenlightened: http://smile.amazon.com/Underworks-Pet…) - I have huge thighs and seriously hairy legs that can stubble up like a cactus. These things are a lifesaver. Plus, if I ever have a Marilyn Monroe moment, no need to worry!

I have encountered a lot of backlash to this approach of generally having a live and let live style of accepting the actions of others.

Very normal! And kids love free school supplies. (Anyone else remember how it felt to be THE kid with no or sub-standard stuff?) Go ahead and get shoppin' :) http://www.createthegood.org/toolkit/how-ho…

Online shopping + slickdeals deal alerts! Your dreams may yet become a reality...

I like your thinking, but it's not feasible. You can't leave your kids unattended at a pool or beach, for example, even if there is a lifeguard. As far as camps go, they have insurance up the wazoo, generally all sorts of liability forms, and they're private entities. Much more lawsuit-robust.

I love the Miracles of Modern Science! So excited to see them spotlighted here!

You know, if you ever decide to change careers, a stud farm could be a very lucrative possibility...!

Time to shake up the household chore division, methinks! My advice: go for "taking out the trash." ;)

Ba-dum, ching!

And different strap widths! As a very petite-framed person, 99% of the bras out there just plain don't fit me. Even if I can get the cup and band right, the straps are so wide-set that they cut into my armpits.

And don't get me started on "sister sizes"!!

Banana Republic outlet! Great simple, plain T-shirts, hold up well, lots of colors, often go on sale for around $5 per :)

Thanks for the tip, I will look into this!

So agree. I am of the "petite" variety, and if I don't wear something with an underwire, I am halfway out of the bra every time I raise my arms. No fun. If the bra fits correctly, it shouldn't poke. Most people wear too big of a band and too small of a cup.

Or a pickup artist (just as creepy).

My goodness, she is pretty! I love the retro wardrobe. She is totally rocking it. You go, girl.

Sweet, thanks! My gyno was convinced that the most recent research said it was a-okay, so who knows. Science is messy!

Do you have cites for that? I haven't seen any studies along those lines.
