Swimming

Hey, I know I've been gone for quite a while (and probably will still be too busy to come here often), but I had a quick question: Does anyone have any suggestions on breast forms or swimsuits to wear when swimming?

I was reminded about this because my brother is staying at a hotel this weekend and is packing a swimsuit, when I realized that I had nothing I could bring for that would still make me look like a girl.

Thanks,

Emily

Well, I got a nice scholarship of $80,000 ($20,000 a year) for Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology, but even with working as a tutor the whole time, that still leaves about $20,000 a year to go :( college is too freaking expensive :( . To a somewhat more affordable school, i got $48,000 to University of Dayton (I think it was - that or Wright State). Either one, though, would probably be affordable (though still expensive)

Anyways, I hope I can find the time to stick around a bit

Any time of year is great for swimming here, living in 'the land of two summers' :)

The ocean is off limits though because of box-jellyfish and saltwater crocodiles.. :o

I'm a bit of a big girl, OK I'm so overweight that I have a good set of man boobs so I wear these enhancers - they are inexpensive and are waterproof.

Love ya,

Sally

Thanks! :D

If these actually work well, they are exactly what I am looking for. The only question I have is if they will work well for me - I am hoping for about a 32B (I am 32 and would like B). Since I am kinda a stick, I am wondering if I am looking for something more than "enhancers."

Thanks again,

Emily

Hi again,

I was just looking into how I would order this, and when I clicked "add to cart," it took me to a site with the domain name "yahoo.net". Just to confirm before giving them any information: does yahoo.com own yahoo.net?

Hi, sorry for triple posting, but I found the answer to my own question.

I did a whois on yahoo.net and found this:

...

Registrant:

Basically, this says that yahoo.net is owned and administered by Yahoo! Inc. (the same company that owns yahoo.com

Thanks for all the help,

I just bought a new bathing suit a few weeks ago. I also bought a strapless bra to wear with it that I'll put my chicken cutlets into.

Now I just need to test it out in the shower to see if the bottom stretches when wet to see if I need to buy a bikini bottom for extra..protection.

I love Walmart for having 4 different cute suits to choose from in plus sizes. Yay!!

oh and I totally got one of the suits with a cute little skirt on the bottom. Totally covers up certain areas, tho I think when I bend over it will totally show my bum. :blush:

Sorry that I didn't get back to you sooner, Emily.

I always check things out before I give out information as well - smart girl!

These are silicone and when you first put them in your bra - they will feel cold and very wierd!

They warm up very quickly to body temperature and have a nice weight and bounce to them!

I have to order a new pair - mine went in the Last purge, the one to save the marriage.

Love ya,

Sally

Personally, I'm more concerned about the bottom. I may only have A cups, but I don't really care how my top looks in the suit. I'd look for one with bra-cups definitely though. I'd get one with a skirt. Post-op I won't worry about it at all.

Don't attempt the suicide-twist/raindrop while wearin' those.

Just kidding. You just might pull it off.

God, I'd love to try that again.

I used to be the Goddess of that splash-dive down at the local pool when it was open.

The place went down hill when they took the highdive out.

But my parents would buy me season passes to the place every summer...

and that's most of what I did, my clique and I, practice splash-dives.

We got rilly good. I was one of the best all-round at the place...

and arguably THE best @ the one I've mentioned.

I bet I'd make a heck of a splash off that badboy now cause I'm pretty fat at the time. Bwaaaha!

Hey, I went ahead and ordered these, and despite the predicted shipping time of 4-7 days, they came in 3! :D

Today is the second day I am wearing them, and I think they are GREAT! They are more dense than my last pair, so they actually feel like they exist (have a little bit of bounce, as well as a slight pull from the weight). I'm probably not going swimming for a while, but I had to at least see how they would feel in water, so I brought them into the bath with me (kinda odd, I know) and I found that they stick remarkably well in water.

Anyways, I am going to a math competition (the OHMIO if anyone knows it) in 2 minutes, so I gotta go, but I hope to see you all later! :D

My team of 4 placed first in the state!!! :D Also, individually, I placed 14th and 15th in different competitions. Also, I saw a lot of people I knew at this competition, but nobody said or even suggested anything about my different appearance.

Oh, and btw, since they are silicon, I shouldn't go to sleep with them on, right? (or am i misremembering this)

Give your girls a chance to breathe.

Take 'em out, let em run wild while you sleep. It's better for your skin and better for your back.

(I know it's tempting, I've done it myself and got up in the middle of the night to take them off)

Well congrats on your placing at state and how did you do it....I'm a bit confused gender differentiation and all that...yes sleeping with anything on is difficult for me..try it and wake up taking it all off in the middle of the night..lol good to have you back and stick around there is always room for one more on this ship Love to You .............Mia

      "A whip for the horse, a bridle for the donkey, and a rod for the fool's back.  Do not answer a fool according to his folly, lest you be like him."    Proverbs 26:4-5.....  possibly the first advice about spending time online

      Not of people usually, but places have a "color sense" to me.  Not exactly visual, but like a feeling.  Almost a taste or sometimes tactile.    My home, and the temple of my faith community both have a strong feeling of "silver."  A tasteable, nearly tactile radiance...it means safety, and I seek it out.  It kind of transfers to people associated with those places, like my husband.  I knew he was good the moment I met him.  Some places have a color sense like fire, a combination of red and orange.  As you might expect, it is an exciting or dangerous feeling.  Attractive in a way.  Part of me is drawn toward it, another part of me is skittish of it.  Other places have a blue/green color sense, which can be iridescent toward purple-ish.  Its peaceful and calm.    What I really don't like is a sickly, greenish-gray color.  I can't even describe it fully.  The sense is slimy, slick, cold and revolting.  To me, it is a feeling of intense danger about a place or a person.  I'm usually more oblivious to the other color senses, but this one grabs my attention.  To me, it is associated with pure evil.    One of my strongest impressions of the evil color it happened at a natural spring in a state park near where I live.  I was walking around with a friend and I felt it, and she thought I was totally crazy.  I wanted to leave so bad, just terrified.  Thankfully she followed me out.  I only found out later that a murderer had escaped from prison and was recaptured there...he had been living near the spring, and we were maybe within 200 yards of him.  My color sense probably saved our lives.

      Not exactly.  Me alone - I'm helpless and can hardly do anything.  But with my partners I'm protected and supported, and a lot more things are possible for me.    My husband teaches a lesson to his kids when they fight, I've seen him do this a couple of times.  He'll hand them a bundle of sticks tied together, and tell the kids to try to break it.  Of course, it doesn't work.  Then he takes the bundle apart, and tells them to break the sticks one by one.  One person alone is easily overwhelmed or broken.  Two or more people together can stand firm against adversity.

      When I joined it was purely a play on Maybe. Mae happens to have a couple letters in common with my given name and I started using it when introducing myself to strangers. Since then, actually yesterday, when I caught up with an old friend and told her about my transition she thought she heard "Maeve" when I said "Mae". I could still use Mae as a nickname, it works well with my mother's name as a middle name (she died in 2019 and I love the idea of connecting with her memory more), and my initials wouldn't change if I change my name. So, Maeve it will likely be unless something better comes along. ;)

      I've not had a lot of involuntary action in that department and I'm 6mo in. After 3mo. my T was under 30. My doc wanted labs mid-cycle (3-4 days after my shot) oddly, but I am going to insist on getting trough numbers to determine if T is pushing back when serum E is low. I almost felt like I was going to have MW yesterday morning when I woke up (day of my shot), so I get where your thoughts are on the subject. It would be good to know how long that suppression lasts, not that T&E levels are complete indicators--my doctor doesn't seem to have any plans to check for the broader spectrum of metrics I see a lot on forums like SHBG, etc.

      Take two   blood letting is complete it took two of them pesky little mosquitoes.   our dog came to us mostly potty trained. She had a few “I can’t wait” moments but for the most part she was good.  She learned to ask th be let out. We had a bell on the door and taught her to ring the bell.  Then she learned how to open the door herself.  As long as it wasn’t locked out she’d go.  We had her trained to a hidden fence and collar she would go to the limit and sit and wait for us to tell her it was ok. She has always responded to verbal commands or my whistles.   Oh and there are obvious negatives about a dog knowing how to open doors.  She would disappear and we’d suddenly see her out the window.  Or we’ would let her out and suddenly realize she was sitting with us.  She never learned to close the doors, only open then.
