Marcelyn – I want to know what sports bra can hold you like a concrete block and still be comfy... Double D girls need lots of love and support...

The bra is made by enell. They are seriously strong bras. They are not a stretchy fabric and actually are a satin so that your clothes slide across them instead of hanging up on it like sometimes happens with bras and clothes. I was a size 2 according to the website but when I went in to try one on at a local place I ended up being a size 1. Probably the only time I will ever see a size 1. lol The size 2 just had some baggy spots and when I jumped up and down I got bounce. With a size 1 there is absolutely no bounce whatsoever. I would advise trying one on before purchasing or at least making sure you can exchange it if it isn't the right size. They are very tight but not uncomfortable. It took me a couple of wears to get used to it but that's true of any bra for me. I just make sure I hang dry them as any shrinkage (unlikely but always possible no matter what they say) would not be good.

So what makes them good? Like I said, no bounce. Holds you secure and has complete full coverage. The back has a support design too. You have to hook them at the bottom, tuck in your bosoms, hook a couple more hooks, tucks some more and adjust, hood, adjust, and so on.

My daughter is a DDDD and she wears the sport for working out and buys the "Lite" version for daily wear. She says that her back doesn't hurt since she's been wearing them.

Joyce sorry about your friend. :flowerforyou:

Joyce – Whoops! Spoiler Alert! That one was the one we saw last week. Hopefully, you can delete and hopefully forget what I said. Sorry; maybe we were not affected by something; the Oscars or President’s Goodbye Speech or something that Louis doesn’t normally watch on the other channel.

Condolences for the loss of your friend this morning. When my boss died, they had a memorial service (he had been cremated due to all the weight he loss) and one of her sisters and husband (of brother in the Coast Guard) could not make the memorial service because of being in court. Her brother is a JAG Officer and her brother-in-law are both attorneys. So about another month later when all 4 of the siblings could be together they had a military funeral for him, probably attended by more people. A 2nd Memorial Service and (private) burial at Andersonville Cemetery. A landmark in Georgia which was a prison for captured Yankee soldiers. It is near Americus, GA … between Byron and Ft. Valley if you ever get down to Georgia and like this type of Museums. A couple of times a year they have an enactment from that part of the Civil War. I've never seen that. I think, if I remember correctly, that the prison, cemetery are not in the same spot; maybe one is across the road. They had visitation, and the line was all the way into the lobby; and another funeral room down the same hallway. People mingled around and were not really actually standing in line. I did not ever go up there to see it and we have lived in the Albany, GA area for 40 years, interrupted by a 2-year stint in Macon, GA. That was a hard move both coming and going; but, I sometimes think that things happen for some reason and all in God’s timing. I go to a MD in Macon, GA (about 2 hours away) to meet with some of my former HS classmates. Can you adjust your TENS unit when you are having a particularly rough day? When I had my really bad wreck I wore a TENS unit for quite a while; and, I could adjust it and as I started not needed it set up on ‘high’ I could lower it by numbers as soon as I felt like it.

KJ - You daughter made a beautiful bride. My mind was 'in the gutter' this evening ... go back and closely look at the first picture of you and your husband. RITFLMAO!

Allie – Only you know how ‘reasonable’ or ‘unreasonable’ Tom can be; so if you try mediation and he tries to drag it out, ask that you get a Bench Trial … in most states (such as in FL – which is a ‘community property state’ … the woman actually already own 50% of the property that was bought after they married. I agree with Mia in MI’s last sentence … figure out what is fair and stick to your guns. Having it written out and discussing it with your attorney will help him/her know if it is reasonable or what can be substituted in lieu of something else that you might rather have. A ‘hold harmless clause’ is something that you need to talk with your attorney about, so if he is told that he has to take on certain debts to pay off, and doesn’t it will be something you can show to any collector and they cannot make you pay. It might also save you from filing bankruptcy just because he has/does. Also look at his 'retirement' account, if he has one ... and how much was put into it after you married. My sister was also 'able' to collect from her husband's SS, which was more than she could if she collected on hers. That might be a Federal thing to check into. Talk to your attorney with that ‘in mind’. It works both ways … you would also have to agree to it.

Skuenhn48 – I’m sure that people like Pip and Heather can tell you how to do it. I’ve only done it once – but I went a different route than I am sure these ladies do. It's not difficult to do once you do it (or do it often).

Someone has set up a FB page named Albany Storms or Albany Storm Damage (maybe they will announce the site again. Or go to WALB-TV.com (or net) to see pictures of videos. Looks like a bomb dropped. Supposed it was just a matter of seconds; but, the weather channel and the meteorologist said that everybody in the storm area (cone) needed to get to shelter immediately. They are listing things that they need to help those affected by the damage need to help recover. They have already picked up 48 Thousand cubic yards of debris; and, that is just starting it; some areas have not even gotten their power back … since last Monday night.

Did an hour of a step DVD today. The plan for tomorrow is to do an ultimate weight training and cardio DVD.

gotu - what I do is during the day I write down on a piece of paper what I ate, then I record everything. If I didn't do it this way, I know that I'd forget something and not log it. There have been times when I really did forget something and because I had it written down I logged

Alison - feel better fast

cat - just because you had 2 Krispy Kreme donuts, don't give up the whole day! Log it, you might find that you can come close or not go over on your calories for the day. Where do you live? My daughter lives in Reston

Well ladies...I have two problems. One thing is that I went shopping yesterday. I got so much fruit that I can't fit it all in the fruit drawer. The other is that I have so many DVD's that I'm finding that they're falling to the back. What to do???? I know, I know...these aren't big problems, as a matter of fact, they are good problems to have.

It was 70 so Vince and I took the rest of the Christmas decorations in, then I helped him arrange (or start to) things in the garage(s)

Betsy - that's what this forum is all about! sharing

Loved all the pictures. Everyone looks so wonderful

Joyce - I'm so sorry to hear about your friend

No kidding about the ice fog! I was driving to Anchorage a couple of days ago and all I did was drive in and out of it. I will tell ya though, the ice fog is so pretty at night! One year, I thought I was going to be a tough girl and not put studs on my car...

sitting in that ditch, I realized, I'm not the girl I thought I was.

Shannon - its really so pretty I love it but seriously slippery stuff - no doubt! I hope you suffered no injury from the slip into the ditch.

The newspaper had some really great pics posted today https://www.adn.com/slideshow/alaska-news/anchorage/2017/01/12/fog-cold-temperatures-have-created-perfect-conditions-for-a-frosty-anchorage/

Joyce, in cold Indiana: So sorry to see you have lost a friend. So happy to see he did not have to linger long in hospice. I hope his friends and family got a chance to say their good-byes.

Lenora was describing Chicago med in her post. I think that what happened in Code Black is that Rollie decided to have the brain surgery after all and what we were seeing did not in fact happen at the hospital but was what he was seeing/dreaming while in surgery. In the end it turned out that what we were seeing as an episode was actually pretty much what happened in his life when he was younger so I think he had those "dreams" because of the questions he was being asked during surgery. I also think what happened in the episode was not "real" because the events so closely mirrored Rollie's life. That's why I'm voting on "it was all a dream."
