Big boobs & Little boobs – all is not equal.

big boobs cost a fortune

big boobs cost a fortune!

Rant alert! I am a woman of wild tempers today!
It should have been a fun day – shopping with the girls – three of us.

Friend one is petite, 5′2″ with pert little A cups. Friend two is a large curvy lady who a size 20 has firm full c cups and me – avarage build with gigantic “bosoms”  a DD cup.

I have always had them – well from about 13 onwards – I love them, until it came to bra shopping!

Miss A cup, picked up a cute little blue number – well made, good fabric, terrific style – all for $19 :)

Miss full figured C cup got hers on sale, lacy red $24.95 reduced to $14.00 – what a deal :)

When it came to the DD’s the story changed.
Sure there was a great selection of sexy stylish supportive bras (couldn’t have written that 15 years ago) I would have been proud to strip off my shirt and reveal any of them … until I looked at the prices !!!

$69.95 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Miss A cup could have purchased three of hers for that price!

Now I know my bra took a little extra fabric but no way in hell was it $50.00 worth of fabric. I know my size isn’t uncommon – I am a normal build other than huge boobs and I am not alone in having “biggies” so its not like there isn’t a demand for them.

It’s a scam – it’s a con – it’s blatantly unjust!

I think there should be equality in lingerie prices for all bra sizes – what do YOU think?

I hate Facebook

Saturday, August 29th, 2009

comp

There I said it – I hate the damn thing.
You see I work a lot on my computer, I also shop on it but that’s a post for another day. Basically when I am sitting in front of this screen it’s for a work / education purpose and only sometimes for entertainment.

I was talked into opening an account a FB though – months of nagging from friends and family members and I caved. After all what was the harm and it might be fun.

Login #1 I set up my page. Uploaded a photo and added a couple of friends before logging out for bed.

I login for the second time a few days later – oooh, how exciting, friend requests! I’m loved, I’m popular – 19 people want to be my face book friend  – the word has spread, my friends and family have found me :)

I login a week later – 100 friend requests. WTF?

I know 12 of them! Friends of friends, friends of family, two ex lovers and well to be honest I haven’t a clue who the rest were. On top of that half my “friends” had subjected me to invitations for groups – most multiple groups -there were 143 of them to be exact! And messages, some sent daily!

I never did log in for that fourth visit.

Am I alone in the fact that I make time to contact in “real life” with the people I care about? Am I alone in the fact that if I haven’t been in touch with someone since high school it is because I have no interest in doing so? Am I alone in not having an urge to share details of my life with people I have no interest in that seem to think they know me because their brothers girlfriend is second cousin to my friends sisters friend?

PS I don’t “tweet” either

I hated the facebook experience – Do YOU?

A Miracle – welcome home Jaycee!

Friday, August 28th, 2009

Her step dad calls it “a miracle” and after she had been missing for 18 years I have to agree. The fact that Jaycee Lee Dugard was last seen being snatched and bundled into a car, his statement “After 18 years you do give up hope. I mean, this is a miracle – 18 years. When was the last time you heard of somebody recovering somebody after 18 years?” must give some comfort to the parents of another stolen little girl… Madeleine McCann.

As a mother I do not want to comprehend the pain both families must have suffered (or still suffering in Maddies case) I can not imagine the grief, the helplessness the complete agony of having a child go missing, the knowlege that your vulnerable angle is at the mercy of what ever animal has her.

Both families have had suspicion cast their way when both were desperate to have their child returned – can you imagine the pain and frustration in that – not so much that people think it, I think in that state you would care little for random opinion, but the fact that the police are wasting time with accusation when they could be searching.

But what of those random strangers that do cast blame – what gives us the right based on media reports (and we all know how completely factual they are 100% of the time right?) to decide someones guilt or innocence?
But we do.

I know I have cast judgment without knowing the full story and been wrong – Have YOU?
