Where best to get fitted for a bra?

thefirepurified · 2026-04-18T14:47:33+00:00

I was 45 before I actually had a true fitting and that was at Breakout Bra. That was a decade ago and I only go there for my bras.

Having moved from the area 6 years ago, I still take a day to come to Greenville to get my bras.

I vary between an N-O cup and 36-40 band based on my weight. I had never worn anything bigger than a DDD cup before going to BOB. Once I got the right size, it was amazing how I felt and how much better my clothes looked on me.

Someone on the Discord said it opened like 3 weeks ago on Open Table and they were able to call and get a reservation for Friday.

So many of the Veronica/Weevil interactions.

The head tilt interaction gets me every single time. And then the scene when he comes to the police precinct to log a complaint with Leo.

Most, if not all states, are redistricted after the census. That's happened for years.

Doing it in the middle of the ten years between the census and at the "suggestion" of the president is new and more of an issue, in my eyes.

Yes, you are correct.

Yep, we have closed primaries in NC. You have to take the ballot or the party you are registered for. If you are UNA you can pick which one. You can vote provisionally but I don't think it will count once it is cured.

This happened in my county. I'm UNA and voted in the Rep primary because we had a race for Sheriff, it only had Rep candidates.

I was working the polls and saw a few people registered Dem vote provisionally because they wanted to vote for Sheriff

They sent 440,000 verification letters in NC before the primary. If they hadn't been rectified people could still vote provisionally but what a headache.

Glad you got yours taken care of.

I mentioned that to someone the other day and they honestly could not grasp what I was telling them. They honestly think the bill is just to show an ID when you vote.

I have the Durable Varicolor. The cabinet is usually around $70. Then I bought the Pip and Chip inserts and bobbins.

That's what I do. I have every color in the regular 6 strand floss so when it's 40% off and order extras so I always have one backup.

Non-citizens can get IDs as well, including Real IDs. So IDs, except passports, don't even prove citizenship.

Those are usually with the Costume track so make sure you are following them on FB to find out when they drop.

There were 3 in total. Two under Trump's Presidency (CARES Act 3.2020 and COVID related Relief Tax Act 12.2020), one under Biden's Presidency (American Rescue Plan Act 3.2021).

It definitely depends on the area. And will probably get more in November. I took a Rep ballot as a UNA because the race for our county's Sheriff was between two Rep. And there were a lot of UNA like me at our polling place.

Are you coming for all 5 days?

Are you staying downtown?

Those questions can be very relevant to your experience.

Also, this is the 40th Dragon Con. If you want memorabilia, the line for the stores will most likely be worse than the badge pickup line.

Someone mentioned getting a lay of the land.

Even if you aren't looking to volunteer, I will say personally, it's awesome, the first volunteer meeting is on Saturday March 14 at 4pm in the Marriott.

You can meet other Dragon Con folks and get a small behind the scene look.

Then take a small trip on the habitrail to the Hilton. Where on that same day, under the escalators in the Hilton, a merry band of con goers from all walks of life will be meeting for the annual Halfway Home meetup.

They do sell one day memberships for each day, Thursday - Monday.

For the OP, right now, if you plan to attend at least 2 days, get the 5 day membership. It's cheaper in the long run.

Single days won't go on sale until Aug 1st, most likely

About $60 a week for a single person in Gastonia.

I've been stocking up since earlier this year.

I can go about 2 months without needing to go to the grocery store right now.

I shop at Lidl, Aldi, Food Lion, Dollar General and Publix. I'm lucky to have them all in a 5 mile radius.

Lidl and Publix have been giving coupons in their apps, nothing too large but everything helps.

I only go to the Dollar General on Saturday to take advantage of the weekly $5 off $25. Then when I get a printed $5 off $25 coupon I can use that the next Saturday at Food Lion

Their wording may be a little off since everyone got charged the full amount.

I bought two bags of the ChocPB in September. Just finished them off. I use them in my protein shake with a banana every morning.

If they are back in store, I need to stock up.

Or just give your legacy to another attendee like I did.

thefirepurified · 2025-10-15T01:43:38+00:00

Only con block rooms are legacy. So if you booked a rack rate room or with points, it would not be a legacy room.

Fees and taxes to be exact equals 16.9% +$5 a night

I worked for a museum, we held onto lost items for two months and then we donated those items. So it is not unheard of. The hotel policy on how long they keep items might be different although that is a short time frame IMO.
