How is it that just as I am thinking a topic, someone posts a thread about it? I used to sit at my dds ballgames and wish outloud for the other team to drop the ball and sometimes they would. At her last game I started to secretly wish and I am not kidding, like 6 plays I wished on they other team screwed up and our girls scored. When I told the other parents they told me to keep wishing. It was actually kinda weird. So with my chemo, is my mind starting to become magical or something? Hmmmmm Anyhoo, I worked at Macys back in early 90s. I was the pantyhose queen. My coworkers would get mad when a customer would not let them help because they only wanted me because I was so good. Well, except for that one lady who got really mad at me when she did not know what control top was and I was dumbfounded by her lack of ability to comprehend what it was. She asked where HR was because she wanted me fired. I told her where it was but that made her even madder. She actually bought hosiery from me. Crazy. Anyhoo, we had a fitter who was fabulous. My sis went to her and was not thrilled to learn that she was a 32A and not a B. Yes, most women are wearing the wrong bra. I am in a situation now since my lumpectomy. I knew this could happen but now it is bugging me. I think I will go see someone who specializes in this. My lump was removed just about an inch from the cleavage. So my cleavage sticks out less on the right than the left. If it was towards my armpit I could wear a pad on that side to fill the space. But this is on the cleavage side. Not sure if a pad would push me over enough to cause the cleavage to look balanced. Maybe a little pad under the breast would work? Personally it is not a big deal unless I wear a bathing suit maybe. It is just weird when I take off my top and it looks like one side is a little deflated. So off to a fitter I will go. What we go through as women.

I have heavy breasts and have struggled with bra shopping for years (anywhere from 34-36 DD-E). My issues were always neck and shoulder discomfort. I was introduced to the Fit Fully Yours line after a custom fitting at a specialty lingerie boutique that I had to drive 2 hours to get to (I live in the boonies). I was a bit skeptical because I'd never even heard tell of Fit Fully Yours before, and they're not cheap, but I bought one that day. Then I went back a few months later and bought another. Turned out to be the best thing I've ever done. I haven't worn another brand since, but I have no personal experience with their sports bra. (I wear the Maxine Moulded which says it is 'engineered for women with heavy breasts'... maybe that's mainly just marketing hoopla... but it's worked for me!)

For those of you who travel, the next time you're in France pick up some Arnigel. It is the most amazing stuff. I fell while hiking in France and cracked a rib and bruised my humerus and they gave me Arnigel (topical) and Arnicalme (pill) and the pain was gone in two days. Both are made with arnica. You can order Arnigel from amazon Canada in the US, but what you get in NA is made in Bulgaria, while what you buy in France is made in France, and personally I have more faith in QC in France. It's great stuff to keep on hand for any kind of bruise, small or serious.

Not sure whether I dare dip my oar into this water, but I noted the "Hanes" in the title. I love Hanes briefs. The fabric keeps going in reasonably good condition, better than almost all of the other brands I've used during this fairly long and frugal life. And the elastic holds good tension way longer than the others I've experienced. I consider the "Hanes" brand top drawer! (drawers?). (Regarding the issue under discussion today, my similar appurtenances have never needed, sought or been offered any special consideration). Good wishes for finding efficient and reasonably comfortable uplift in this - and all aspects of your lives, my friends. ole joyful
