7/17 i can't figure out if the strapless bra i bought (32DD) is too big
or too small in the cups.
if i hold the cups right up against my chest and i don't fasten
the bra, my breasts fit into them perfectly. once i fasten the bra,
everything is a mess.
there is some gapping of the cup and there is some sort of crease on
the bottom of the cup near the underwire, like the cup is folding
over itself. it seems that the bra is either being pulled very
tightly there (band too tight?) or that the cup is too big and
it's falling down. also the underwire absolutely will not sit at
the bottom of my breasts. it's about a centimeter too low and that
crease that has come about sits where the underwire should.
on the top of the cups, especially near the armpits, i have
serious spillage. i can't figure out if this is just chest fat
being constricted or if it's breast tissue spilling over, but it
looks awful. this makes me think that maybe the cup is too small.
or maybe the cups are too tall. when i try to pull them up
(this is almost impossible) the bra digs into my armpits, but it is
then and only then that my breasts fit properly into the bra.
what do you think my problem sounds like? too big? too small?
i'm so frustrated. i'm not returning it because i'm only going to
be wearing it once or twice and i'd rather look bad once or twice
than go through the process of ordering and returning 15+ strapless
bras before i find one that fits. by the time that happens
it will be too cold to wear the pretty dress i bought

7/18 Can we put anti-lock brakes on airplanes? This may prevent landing
accidents in rainy weather.
\_ You would think most of the braking comes from the reverse
thrusters.
\_ Then the crash in Brazil shouldn't have been caused by the rain.
\_ http://catless.ncl.ac.uk/php/risks/search.php?query=thrust+reversers
You'd be surprised that this hasn't exactly been perfected.
\_ would it surprise you to hear that anti-lock braking systems were
originally developed for use on airplanes?
\_ By SUPERiOR German engineers?
\_ Yes I'm surprised. How come commercial airliners don't have it?
\_ Antilock brakes help when your tires are your main braking
force. Commericial airliners do not brake via tire friction.
There isn't nearly enough tire to slow down a big ass 747.
\_ Yeah, but it's not just about brakeing. It's also about
\_ Yeah, but it's not just about braking. It's also about
controling the direction. When the tires skit the plane can
veer off the runway. These accidents have been on the news
before. |

7/17 we haven't argued about the latest useless congressional
gesture to pull america out of Iraq and deny the simple fact
we're gonna be there for the next 60 years like Korea/West Bank/
Japan, is everyone on vacation?
\_ It's 7/18 now btw
\_ We're in the West Bank?
\_ How about Vietnam. Iraq is more like Vietnam, at least so far...
\_ And our troops are still there! Oh, wait....
\_ How long were US troops in Vietnam?
\_ Zero days after we decided to pull out.
\_ just pointing out israel is still in the west bank.
\_ And despite your ZOG fantasies, US != Israel.
\_ sorry. didnt explain. when Israel invaded west bank
they said they'd only stay a short time. They're still
there, much to everyone involved's pain.
\_ Ye-es, but WE are not THEM.
\_ I agree, but I'm using an example from history.
\_ Why *that* example, then? How about how the
Gaulic tribes are *still* in France 1500 years
later! The bastards! Save France for the French!
Kill the Gaulic invaders!
\_ you probably mean "gallic" or "gaulish"
\_ garlic
\_ Why do you hate the French? We must save
France!
\_ All we are asking for is an up or down vote.
\_ Why is it "useless"? Let me guess, you are a war supporter...
\_ Am not war supporter. I just think we're going to be in
Iraq F O R E V E R.
\_ I think President Hillary Rodham Clinton will have us out
in less than six months after she takes office. We shall see.
\_ You won't see. She's not getting elected.
\_ And if she does get elected she won't be able to
get the US out in 6 months.
\_ That's true, too. She isn't exactly pushing hard on
the "get the troops out now" agenda.
\_ Not according to all the right wing newspapers.
I think she is just tacking to the center and
will get bowled over by events, after she wins.
http://www.nysun.com/article/55102
\_ "... after she wins". You're trolling or
drunk. I don't care what left/right wing
newspapers say she says. I read what she
says.
\_ Really? Who is going to win in her stead?
"None of the above?"
\_ My dog. Anyone with a heart beat, age 35+. Charles
Manson. Rowdy Roddy Piper. Anyone.
\_ Are you the same guy who predicted that we would
find WMD in Iraq? Just wondering, because I am
predicting that Hillary will not get beaten
by a Republican. BTW, I predicted that we would
*not* find WMD in Iraq, so my record is pretty
good.
curious how good your track record is.
\_ No. But given the lack of serious effort put
into controlling the country after the attack
started and all the trucks rolling in various
directions before I wouldn't be at all
surprised if we hear in 30 years they were
there and the Bush admin decided it was less
stupid to have invaded and not found them than
invaded and let them slip away. Now then, if
it was Roddy Piper vs. my dog, it'd be a really
interesting race. Piper still has a lot of
wrestling fans, but my dog can speak English
better so he's going to win all 3 debates.
\_ The US is not ready for a female President,
especially a polarizing one like Clinton.
The Dems should push hard to make sure she
does not get the nomination, because if
she does (or if Obama does) then I predict
another Republican win. I have always
voted Democrat for President (even though I am
a 'decline to state') but I would not vote
for Hilary Clinton. I would vote for Bill,
though.

constructed. |

7/18 So the Dems keep the Senate up all night for a publicity stunt.
Wouldn't this be illegal if it were at Gitmo?
\_ weak troll. you get a D.
\_ Perhaps you are unfamiliar with the term "filibuster."
\_ Interesting how the MSM won't call it a filibuster unless the
Dems do it.
\_ Too bad the Republicans didn't use the "nuclear option"
when they had the chance.
\_ That's because it's not a filibuster. It's just the Senate
leader pulling a hissyfit.
\_ BBZZZZTT.
\_ From the Washington Post: "The Republican success, using
the power of the filibuster, came after a marathon
all-night debate on an amendment to the defense bill. The
52-47 tally left Democrats eight votes short of the 60
necessary to force a vote on the measure."
Facts are such bitter, stubborn things.
\_ No need to be snotty. I actually hadn't heard it was a
filibuster. Thanks for the correction.
\_ Which is part of the point. Almost noone in the
media is willing to admit this is a filibuster.
\_ When Democrats do a filibuster, it's because they
hate America. When Republicans do it, it's
because they support the troops. I hope that
clears things up.
\_ No, the Dems are filibustering something that
we know the Pres would veto, so if they can't
even muster cloture, they can't override the
veto. So why waste the time pandering to
http://moveon.org? When Pubs filibustered court
nominations, they were asking for a simple
up-or-down vote. There is a difference and
pretending that there isn't one makes you look
silly. -emarkp
\_ The dems are not filibustering here. I think
you are unclear on your terms.
\_ The dems are not the ones filibustering
here. I think you are unclear on your terms
\_ Yep, I mistyped. I know that the
filibuster takes place with the minority.
Replace "are filibustering" with "are
pushing". -emarkp
\_ Dude, not being able to muster cloture MEANS
FILIBUSTER. That's what a filibuster is,
refusing cloture. The senate, unlike the
house, has slightly different rules so you
don't need to stand up at the podium and
read from a phone book, but refusing
cloture filibustering. The dems don't have
the votes to get around a veto, true, but
that is an entirely differnent issue. Why,
pray tell, won't the republicans in the
senate let them vote on the bill let it
go to the president to veto or not.
\_ Oh and also, the vote is on an amendment
to bill. (A amendment to a bill that it
is strongly related to I'll add.) If the
president vetos the bill he has to veto
the entire bill. A veto that may not
be politically feasable to do.
\_ Why bring attention to a policy that
over 2/3 of the voting public agrees
over 3/4 of the voting public agrees
with? Is that a serious question?
\_ Overriding the veto has nothing to do with
it. Nice dodge, though.
\_ Why does it have nothing to do with it?
It's legislation that Bush has vowed to
veto, and he's proved that he will veto
something like this (when they tried this
with the last appropriation bill for the
war). So unless they can muster 2/3,
it's pointless. -emarkp
\_ Again, do you really think it is
pointless to show your support for
a policy that an overwhelming majority\
of Americans agree with? You dismiss
a policy that an overwhelming majority
of Americans agree with? You dismiss
the anti-war opinion as the "moveon
crowd" but the truth is half the
country wants out of Iraq now and
another 1/4 wants out soon.
\_ Yeah, instead of wasting time
debating stuff the country actually
cares about, Congress should
follow the model of the Republican-led
Congress and spend their time
debating gay marriage and
flag-burning amendments. That
wouldn't be pointless at all! -tom |

changing itself within 3 months.
\_ None. The socket welcomes the light bulb with candy and flowers.

Darkness and set the house on fire.
\_ Only the Almighty who gave the gift of light to all can make a
lightbulb change. Its sort of a theological perspective I have.

7/18 Most popular dog breeds in different cities (smart city=smart
dogs, dumb city=dumb dogs):
http://www.akc.org/reg/topdogsbycity.cfm
\_ In NYC, well educated poodles drink latte and capuccino and
espresso, AND listen to jazz. Poodles are gay, and #1 in NYC.
\_ San Francisco: Labrador Retriever. Stupid dog.
\_ I'm down to Miami and with the exception of Miami and Detroit
every other city has Labrador Retriever as the #1 dog. In
Detroit it's #2 after german shepard, in Miami it's #3 after
german shepard and yorkie. Can't blame SF on this one.
\_ Hint: the whole post is stupid. The op didn't even read
their own page. Do you actually believe that "smart city=
smart dogs, dumb city=dumb dogs" like the op said? C'mon....
\_ Is this some kind of troll? Labs are very smart.
\_ No they aren't. They are very friendly, they are very willing
to do repetitive tasks, they'll chase a tennis ball for hours,
they are not very smart. The troll is the recent spat of
bizarre dog related posts, probably from some evil cat person.
\_ Yep all dogs are smart. Cats are smarter!
\_ Pigs are smarter than dogs or cats, but aren't that
smart by being born tasty.
\_ It's probably less to do with being tasty and
more to do with being not-cute-enough. They are
probably easier to fatten up too (omnivorous) and
aren't escape artists like cats.
\_ Cats go better with ketchup.
\_ wikipedia disagrees with you. wikipedia uses the word
"intelligent" on them at least three times in their
article. You have no credibility.
\_ *LAUGH* Ouch! You made me bust out loud in the office.
Using Wikipedia of all things to say someone else has
no credibility goes way beyond funny. Were you trying
to be funny? I'll just assume you have a really dry
sense of humor and you win this week's Most Funny Motd
Post award. Congratulations! I am your #1 Fan!
\_ I have to agree with you entirely. Once you've been around
a truly intelligent dog (queensland heeler for example)
you would never call a lab "smart". Wikipedia is hardly
a credible unbiased source either.
\_ http://dogsobediencetraining.com/info/dog_intelligence_ranking_wiki.htm
\_ http://urltea.com/10pp (dogsobediencetraining.com)
Not on the list. Is this a common breed?
\_ Australian Cattle Dog is the breeder name. They are
a little too independent to be considered easily
trainable. Also they tend to bond to one person
very strongly. They are the worst dog to have if
you don't have time to spend with them as they are too
intelligent to just sit around. They are a young
breed. Dingo crossed with Timon's Biter about 50
years ago I beleive. Insanely intelligent though.
-scottyg
\_ Working dogs are all smart high energy breeds that
get bored easily and tend to have annoying traits
like trying to 'herd' you, other dogs, the cat,
and the kids if they're that kind of working dog.
Most people are better off with a happy dopey lab. |

7/18 Zacks predicts Peak Oil in the next five years:
http://biz.yahoo.com/zacks/070713/8635.html?.v=1
\_ I was saying that 3 years ago on the motd and everyone said I was
a tin foil hat wearing nutcase.
\_ You were. Anyway, the article doesn't say there will be
peak oil in the next five years. It says demand will
outstrip capacity to supply. There's a subtle difference
there.
\_ You still are.
\_ This article points out the vicious circle ... Oil prices go up,
which floods oil exporters with cash. Domestic demand skyrockets
due to the new wealth, which reduces exports and makes oil prices
go up more. Some big oil exporters (like the UK was) will no
longer be exporting any oil, domestic consumption will use it all
up, even without falling production.
\_ Uh, circle? How about this instead: there is X amount of oil in
the world. Each year we use Y more oil than the year before,
reducing X at an ever greater rate. As X->0 the price of oil
goes up and easy access to more goes down. What circle? |
