Torture-time at Target or "Lupo's Shopping Shenanigans part...meh, I stopped counting

[MoonCat]

Well, up strolls little ms. Prostitot. She looked to be about 13 -14, dressed in clothing way too small for her and well, looking like a hooker, for lack of a better description. She blatantly eavesdrops on our conversation and then pipes up with a snide, ‘I-own-the-world’ tone of voice:

“ya know, maybe guys just don’t wanna look at whales in undies, cuz the undies will just get lost in all your fat rolls”

…

This would make me go ballistic. Or maybe I'd just go with, "Yeah, sure, that's why I've got a great boyfriend, while you're turning tricks in parking lots for spare change." And with a nod to baby-mama, "nice job, ma'am--or is it Madam?"

Short, Tall, Skinny, Big, Blond, Brunette, Red head, Rainbow colored hair..beauty is in the eye of the beholder

Thank you, Mytical. I was worrying a bit about some of our smaller members.

Holy nuggets. Honestly. I am the skinniest "skinny-minny"

My opinion: Nature (or God or whatever) made a wide range of human bodies. Make yours as healthy as you can, and it's beautiful as it is.

Myself, I'm a Xena: Warrior Princess build. Larger than that actress, but proportional to myself. Lots of muscle, lots of bone, and a tendency to add fat if I don't keep it controlled.

My best friend is also an hourglass, but her natural tendency is to lose both fat and muscle. So we both have to control our eating and exercise patterns, otherwise we both go unhealthy (for us) in opposite ways.

She loses the fat she needs for insulation in winter and the padding for hands and feet. I get enough fat to make my PCOS go into overdrive. Bah.

I'm not sure where I was going with this... oh yeah. I was agreeing with Mytical, I think.

Be healthy enough to be comfortable, and the body you have is beautiful. To the smart people.

Okay, that was an asshole thing to say, no questions asked. Why the hell do people feel the need to butt in on other people's conversations and say shit like that?

I sort of blink, and step out of the way. Barista guy asks her what he can get started for her, and then…

She stares at the menu board and says “gimme a minute, I gotta think”

I hate, hate, hate that! Like standing in line at McDonald's for ten minutes, listening to some idiot (in front of you, always) grumble the whole time about how it's ridiculous, what's taking so long... then, when it's finally their turn, they go "Ummmmm... what do I want?" Yes, THAT is exactly why it's taking so long!

Just a reminder, folks, If you see a questionable or offensive post, report it. Don't respond to it in the thread. The report button is your friend.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled thread.

Re: ink. Well, yes and no. Generics will work, but ... they don't meet the viscosity or electrical (yes, electrical!) characteristics of original-brand ink, and with those microscopic ink jets and ink-specific driver software, that does matter. Stick to the HP, and if you don't know which one don't waste your money on the wrong one - once it's opened, it's too late to return - and you won't know it's wrong until you open it.

As to the plus size, well, all I can say is this:
The meat is for the MAN, the bone is for the DOG! (And I'm a man with a wife with meat...)

[Eisa]

Ugh. Just...ugh.

It's also difficult to find bras when you're a 32DD/E [my body can't make up its mind ]. Yes, I can try and fit a 34D, but...it doesn't really work. And NOWHERE around here has a 32DD. We don't have a Victoria's Secret in town, either.

My shoe size is...well, awkward. My left foot is size 7 and my right foot is size 5 1/2. You can imagine what finding shoes that fit is like.

Took me a couple days (I blame being brain-fried from the flu) but I've got a comeback for that one: "I think you'll need more than a minute. But that's okay. We're open all day."

Avenue...wait a second, I know that logo. *uses store locator* Hah! There's one in the same plaza I work in. Maybe I'll check them out.

One thing I like about Avenue is that they have great sales.

Lupo, I feel your pain! A couple of times I've nearly broken down in tears trying to shop for a bra before, because I'm overseas, D cups (if not DD!), and my options are very limited. Even in a Victoria's Secret stateside, I got pushed towards the hideous bras.

Yeesh, you just draw the class acts, doncha?

ETA: Just remembered a site my husband pointed me towards!

Way cute undies and bras that fit gals beyond a C cup. I haven't ordered anything from them yet but you might like it.

[Mytical]

Seshat, it is not the outside appearance that makes the person, it is the personality, the 'soul' if you will. I've seen people that some others think that are gorgeous that I wouldn't touch with a ten foot pole, and others that some others think are not attractive that light up a room when they enter.

Now I am slightly on the large side, so I guess I look for the inner beauty of people because a lot of people are judgmental about how large I am (and was). Sometimes it is really hard to find, but if you don't look you will never find it.

[KiaKat]

Mytical, having met you in person, I can honestly say that no matter your size, you'll always be a sweetie, and it will always plainly show. Personality always matters, and yours, my friend, is an absolute gem.

first Torrid has awesome sexy stuff http://www.torrid.com/torrid/Intimates.jsp

Ugh. Just...ugh.

and second= wait you think victoria secret carries stuff past a d cup??????

[sweetj82]

VS has 38DD
I have even seen a 40DDD

[BeeMused]

Trjgul, have you tried www.Ullapopken.de? They have nice bras in plus sizes, while they aren't exactly cheap, their quality is good. They have shops all over Germany, but you can order as well.
I buy a lot of other clothes from them as well, it's nice to have a real choice and they have all sorts of styles. Another advantage is that all shop employees are plus sized too.
