I don't want padding for the B-cup+ side, it's for the other side. My breasts are considerably different sizes, so while the larger is a bit larger than a B, the other does not even come close to filling a B-cup, it is probably closer to like an A1/2-cup. This makes it really very hard to find a bra that fits…

My grandma was diagnosed with ovarian cancer about two years ago just before Thanksgiving; she passed away two days before Christmas that same year, barely a month after her diagnosis. However, my grandma had complained to her doctor for nearly a year beforehand, if not more, of cramps and indigestion, which are two…

This is a great suggestion! I will have to try and find bra with some removable padding and see how that works. Thank youuu :)

Thanks for the suggestion. Wear did you find the bra with removable padding? I have never seen one, but then again, I mostly buy bras at Victoria's Secret...

Alright, so I've been sized a few times (at Victoria's Secret; I know, they don't have the best track record) and the size always comes out as 34B. Which is fine, I can deal, my bras fit alright, but my problem is that my boobs are two different sizes. Like, a full cup size different. My left (probably closer to a…

Same problem for me. I can never cook anything for as long as the directions suggest! At this point I've pretty much realized that cookies will be done 2 minutes earlier than the package/recipe says. But yeah, totally been there.

Yeah, the wedding had more accents- the groom's vest and tie and groomsmen's ties (with orange vests), maybe the sash on the wedding gown? The bridesmaids were in orange, no camo. But it works when you are from out in the sticks, you know? I feel like camo and orange is kind of a rural America thing, and good for Mama…

Minnesotan here. One of my good friends in high school had her mom make her a camo and orange dress for prom our senior year, and it actually turned out super cute. (My friends at college laugh at me whenever I tell them that.) I actually just saw recently that her older brother got married, and once again the family…

Reading this was giving me a major sense of deja vu! I go to a small lib arts school in the Midwest, and we had basically this exact same issue on campus just this past week. Every spring, the campus hosts an all-day outdoor concert series for campus bands to have a chance to play for the student body. However,…

My family is solidly middle class, but between my sister an myself, we own all of the original dolls, plus Josefina and Kit. We each got one doll per year, at Christmas, and they became like a part of our family; we treated them like sisters. So many great memories. I can't wait to some day share them and their…

As I was reading this, I felt inclined to make like Laura and guzzle a glass of wine.

As a current college student, I do feel as though these studies sometimes give a somewhat skewed perception of what is actually happening on college campuses. Yes, we spend a lot of time on Facebook, Tumblr, Twitter, etc., but we also use electronic media in order to read/follow the news (as often times newspapers or…

Yeah, I was agreeing with her throughout most of this (although I did find her tone to be pretty condescending), but that line just made me cringe. What??? Not only is she reducing women to a single anatomical feature, but she is then associating said feature with sexist ideals like weakness and meakness.

Thank you again for all of the information! I had heard about GINA before when we briefly discussed the ethics of genetic testing in my genetics course last year, but I completely forgot about it. Thanks for putting it back in my mind as I consider everything!

The gif isn't showing up for meeeee :/ Can anyone else see it?

The books are really quick reads! I read the entire first one over a 6 hour flight last spring, so if you have a free weekend, you could easily finish one or two of them! I'm always partial to reading the books before the movies, though. But the first movie does follow the book preeeety closely, so you could…

I was the puppy when I saw this. The cat was my roommate.

My mom hasn't expressed any interest/desire to test herself to see if she carries the mutation, so I think like your mom, she might be avoiding it because of the guilt she would feel if she had possibly passed it to my sister and I. I don't really want to ask or pressure her into testing, because that kind of…

Thank you. I did look at this in the other comment thread you posted! I think I am going to talk to my physician about it when I go in for my annual in June, find out how it works with insurance stuff and what the process is for getting in to see a genetic counselor. I know some people have struggled with getting…

It was really interesting! Covered a lot of topics from attachment theory to domestic abuse to sexual attraction. But yeah, getting through that book was rough stuff. Every time I thought it couldn't get any worse, it did.
