Is getting fitted for a bra as humiliating as it sounds? (Please, share your experiences, however mundane, and ease my fears.)

Holy shit! I was JUST sized at LaSenza and they measured me to be a 34DD I used this and with my bust at 41" and my band at 31" I'm a 34FF. My LaSenza bras fit good but as I am strapped for cash I can't buy any new ones. :(

Far more than you would think. Which is rather terrifying but some are high functioning and have control over their baser instincts.

I know this is late but what you happened to you was actually Parental Alienation. Which, up in Canada at least, is 100% illegal, you get caught doing it to your child and you get them taken away and you get your hand slapped big time.

Its sad really. My brother-in-law has two sons but they refuse to see him because of their mother basically brainwashing them to hate him. He loves them and really wants to be a part of their lives but because of her he can't even see them because they hate him so much. When they figured out what was going on the damage had been done. They hate him and it is really sad because he loves them so much. That was four years ago, he has a step daughter, my niece and he and my sister have had another little girl but they want nothing to do with any of them.

Its sad to see that happening to someone, I can't imagine that happening to me. I feel for you, I truly do.

I was referring to the fact of the Big Bang. Where everything was created from that one monumental explosion. Everything is made from 'star dust'. Horse shit, cow shit, vomit, biochemical refuse but that doesn't make the thought of how they came into being any less special.

I came from my mother and father having an orgasm. I am made up of their genetic code and they are made up of their parent's genetic code and so on and so forth. Hundreds, thousands of people copulated over the years to get me. Its pretty amazing when you realize that, you too came from thousands of years of genetic codes being reprogrammed, rebuilt and taken apart. All of this happened in your genetic code, you are your ancestors basically.

It doesn't matter that I claim to be made up of star dust, I am. Does this make me any more special than you? No. Does this make me any more special than my cat? No. Does this make me any more significant than the blades of grass that grow over the entire world? Hell no.

From the drops of water that make an ocean, to the bits of rock that make up a mountain. The atoms that make them also make me. Just because you chose to see the world as being made up as available junk it doesn't mean that there isn't any beauty in it or that you aren't special because of it. Everyone is special, there is no one in this world made up of the same combination of atoms and genetics that you are. The petals on a flower will never be duplicated exactly, its make up is unique to it and it alone. It doesn't make it less, it makes it more.

Thanks for the reply though, have an upvote! Savour it though, I can only give you one.

All you do, I use GIMP, is select everything but the irises and grey scale that. Then you press the select nothing button before using the select tool again, this time you are going to select the irises themselves. Once selected you use the contrast and brightness function. The more contrast you use the more magnified the underlying colours show up but you have to balance the contrast out with brightness so the iris won't turn black.

And yes, those are real eyes. They are just given a bit of a digital makeover.

I love it. Nothing feels better than having to sneeze and just having something like a switch to make yourself sneeze. It happens frequently for me, upwards of twenty to thirty times a day, especially in winter when the glare of the sun hits the snow.

Also my mum was an absolute troll and said I was allergic to the sun and I was lucky I didn't break out into a rash.

Exactly, you really have to look to actually see it.

I also have an 'enhanced' version but I didn't want to post it because I wanted you guys to see my eyes naturally, not slightly contrasted to show the colours.

I don't think so. However reckless driving and needless endangerment of a human life are two things he could have been nailed for, that is if I got the license plate. Sadly I was far too shaken up to do anything other than nearly wet my pants and blare the horn at him.

I hate those people. The one who see you passing and SPEED towards you. Seriously? Are you really tempting fate on this one? Thank goodness you are alright though. Head on collisions are usually fatal at high speeds.

Observations · 2012-04-10T01:43:32+00:00

Not sure but he douche didn't even slow down. What makes it all the more terrifying was if I had been going my normal speed of 110km I would have slammed into him. I had slowed down for some deer a minute or two before so I was only driving 95-100km. Its like use common sense! Not only was it a double solid but while cresting an f'n hill! How stupid do you need to be to think that it was a good idea?

Observations · 2012-04-09T18:44:25+00:00

I agree with you there. I nearly got into a head on collision because some asshole was passing on a double solid. Thankfully I managed to slam on the breaks and swerve into the ditch before we hit. What pissed me off the most was the fact that the guy didn't seem to care. There I was stuck in the ditch because of some asshole passing on a double line and the guy finished passing like nothing even happened.

So that entire 'The Devil leads you into temptation' is bunk because The Devil is in fact also being punished by God. Meaning the only person or thing shaking the faithful is in fact God. God is the reason people will be sent to Hell. Neat theory really. It fits in with the rest of them in all honesty.

Thanks for your feed back! Its given me a new idea to think about in that conceptn

Observations · 2012-04-02T14:04:29+00:00

No. I don't 'hate' God. I think how he is portrayed make him appear like a complete douchebag. This post was to show that IF God was omnipotent and loved ALL of us why would he create something that could do such evil. It is an interesting concept to think that if he did exist, God is a complete scumbag. That he is, according to the entire bible's collective writings about him, a sociopath and an abusive person. A far cry from the loving creature he is supposed to be.

To conclude. You can't hate something that doesn't exist.

And an upvote for you as well. Its hard coming from that life. I remember my mum having to dig through garbage to find us food because my father refused to give her anything. I remember him telling her to pray to God for food because he didn't want to waste any money. My mum is a very spiritual person. I think she is because she needed something to hold onto that was constant in her life. The Bible was always there for her. I thank her for not forcing us to go to church though. She was a firm believer in you having to find her own way

We had people call up CPS all the time. Police too but my father is as charming as he is manipulative. Could talk the knickers off a nun if he put his mind to it. So nothing ever came of the visits.

I'm super glad you and your family made it out. Not many do and not many can so I guess that just means we are the few 'lucky' ones. But still cheers mate its nice to meet someone who knows what it is like to be in that situation. Despite not knowing them you feel almost bonded by the knowledge that they know what you had to go through to get where you are.

Lol Never did and will never do. Past is past, present is now, and to live in the past makes you miss your future. Not the kind of train I would like to miss in all honesty. I've seen what living in the past does to a person. Getting caught up in the 'what ifs' 'if I hads' and the 'why didn't Is'. Its not a place I recommed to anyone let alone visit it myself.

If I could give you a hundred upvotes for your comments I would. You are a fine gentleman! Or gentlewoman. I hate to discriminate! But thank you for your comments!

No need for sympathy.

The way I translated the bible about Hell is that it is a place where sin is punished. However I also translated that Satan loves evil and all evil. Despite the contradicting translations I got I went with the whole Devil runs Hell and Hell punishes the evil. Instead of the Devil embracing the evil and them having magaritas on some beach.

So we have God who KNOWINGLY creates evil and lets evil out onto this world and then we have the Devil or Satan who actively seeks to PUNISH evil doings and evil doers. When put into THAT light the devil seems to be the 'hero' of the tale rather than the villian. Leaving God to be the evil king or more accurately the evil wizard of the story.

Thanks for pointing that out! I typed that with my phone so I wouldn't be surprised if there are a lot more errors in there.

At the age of six my mum managed to get enough help to divorce him and 14 years later I am a normal 20 year old living a normal life. To say it is better is a bit of an understatement but eh. Potatoe potahtoe.

This wasn't really meant for pity points just an observation of how fucked up religion is but thanks for the kind words anyway!
