WHY SOME WOMEN OVER 45 shouldn't burn their bras.

I haven't worn a bra in 3 days and let me just say here and now that it ain't all it used to be!  Gone are the days of cute perkiness accentuated by tight tee-shirts.  Now I just look like a flat chested old lady with two 'outies' that are a little off centered.   

I had to walk with my arms crossed today when I went to the bank due to the increased jiggle factor.  Running was completely out of the question, the force from my slightly elongated perkiness would probably have knocked my equilibrium off or even worse, knocked me out!  Poor Dickidoo has had to recalibrate his 'cop a feel' technique, the target is now located about 4 inches lower than when we first met.  He almost always misses on the first try now days.

Ah well, at least I still have my clevage.  Granted, its a little longer and a whole lot lower, but its still there and can be coaxed out for a special appearance with one of them push 'em up bras and maybe a little duct tape here and there. 

Nope, it just ain't all what it used to be.

Girl!  You crack me up!  I wish I could say I cannot relate to this entry but I truly do!  Last time I went shopping for lingerie I had to admit to the clerk I needed an underwire in a 42 Long. I'm laughing through my tears!

We have  2 options.......stand on our heads to remember where the 'girls' used to be or  place an empty toilet paper roll under each breast and waaaaa laaaaa! They can put a man on the moon, but can't make a comfortable, workable underwire bra! It's a conspiracy I tell ya! lmaoooooooo

OK-this is too funny....My best friend Holly has little on the top & I seemed to have been blessed with too much hanging too low, so we have always said we were going to try to get a 2 for 1 breast surgery. Take mine & give to her...Think that would work? Dorn-I do the same thing-run to our "small town" w/o a bra & then after getting out of the car to run into Walmart or the IGA etc....I run around cross-armed...Something wrong with that picture....LOL

You are a hoot  ! It's hard for me to relate to that problem. Don't have any thing to droop. I only wear a bra if I wear a dress or dress up nice and I hardly ever wear dark colored clothes. I count my self lucky. I hate wearing bra's and am glad I don't have to.

I too have been overly blessed and my step sisters wanted to go with me when I had a breast reduction.  Could still use another and even with a bra running is dangerous not only for me but anyone standing too close.  As for the cardboard tube I would crush that instantly.  One good thing about not wearing a bra is that pulls all the wrinkles from our chin out.  lol

my then 6 yo dd walked in on me one day while dressing and said" Momma, why do your nibbles ( yes, that is what she called nipples.  She thought nibbles made more sense since babies nibble on them) point tothe ground?"  I told her it was gravity at work.  A few months later, she walked in on me agian and said " I guess gravity is still working"

Ya gotta love Maxine.  I feature her now and then in my own journal.  As for me, never had that problem.  That is all I have is nipples.  I think going through puberty, Mine forgot to develop.  ::sigh::  However, at 46, when I read an entry like this and the comments, I don't mind so much, and cleavage?  What is that?  ROFL.  Thanks for the laugh.  My Nana J, God rest her soul, had some.  They became like pancakes and went down to her navel as she aged.  Poor Nana.  Guess gravity was working on her too.  Well, now she is with her Jesus that she loved so much and she is perfect.  At least we have that to look forward too!  :-)

Blessings!

P.S.  Sometimes, I think that is why God called my Daddy home 'cause Nana is up there trying to tell him how to run heaven, and he needed my Dad to help keep her straight!!!!!!

Oh stop your whining and look at the bright side! You can scratch your boobies and belly button at the same time! I feel your pain, though. I had my one good bra break a few months ago and felt all jiggly and wiggly too!! Do you remember the old "pencil test?" I can comfortably hold a twenty pack of pencils there now...in fact, it's where I store my mad money!! ;) Penny

I remember when I was younger and felt envious of the more endowed girls.... now, as i get older, I'm glad that I was never 'blessed'. I can still run around braless... and yes, I said run <LOL>

LOL you heard the one about the lady doing jumpin jacks and knocked herself out? I can feel the pain...my two sisters basically had fried eggs and I wound up with the full load.  I think I would prefer to be smaller...oh well...Sandi
