Too much bounce, no buy. I refuse to wear padding or underwires. What I realized is -- if the bra is too small and I ooze out of sides or top, I'm gonna bounce. I finally broke down and bought the bigger size. Anyone else who's had a little bit of middle-aged expansion, just forget about the size you used to wear and buy something that fits.

AvalonBlondi Member Registered: 11/07/05 Posts: 1096 Loc: West Chester ,PA	The loss of the functioning body part that bothers me most is my bladder...i can't go anyplace without visiting the little girls room..in fact...i bet I could be in the Guinness Book of Records for the vast number of places I have peed...I used to try and see how long I could hold it...but now...if I have to excuse myself 3 times during dinner..I don't care...my kids roll their eyes and say "here she goes again" and my response is...wait until you have 10 lb. babies who use your body as a hotel for nine months...I wear my old age like a crown,,,my kids don't call me "Queenie" for nothing!!!

Vi Member Registered: 05/21/05 Posts: 252	AvalonBlondi, I haven't had any kids use me for hotel and still I have to pee a lot. Before a meal and after a meal. When I was a kid I didn't get up to pee in the night at all. In ealy adulthood I got up once a night. These days I'm up two - four times. It's absurd. And I don't even like to pee. My husband thinks peeing is enjoyable - but then he doesn't have to take his clothes off to do so. The only thing I envy a man for is his ability to pee inconspicuously wherever he is. Hehe. Vi

I even wear a pad sometimes just in case and believe me I hate those horrid things....What ticks me off is you feel like theres an ocean about to burst free so you hurry to the restroom, sit and three drops fall out. But I bet if you were late getting there it would be an ocean...Geesh!

I've noticed the less water I drink a given day, the more it feels like I have to pee, yet not much comes out. I guess the stuff is more concentrated and irritates everything in there.

flipperjo Member Registered: 10/22/05 Posts: 254 Loc: ND	i know that the real me is hiding someplace within the skin that others recognize. my knee hurts constantly, my feet take turns. my brain is in a fog and my memory is a goner. and this is good compared to a year ago! and fat, fat, fat! i envision reaching to my neck, grasping the zipper pull and opening up the shell i'm in, allowing the real me to step out into the light. no pains in the joints, reading without glasses, running, jumping and living without pain. yeah, right!

But I wouldn't hold my breath to long here on earth if I were you, or me or any of us aging beauties cause it ain't gonna happen.

You're walking faster and on your tip toes lest anything "slip" out. Why is it that as soon as your bowels see their front door everything feels like it's right on the verge of releasing? I never remember anything like this as a child. Please don't let us laugh too hard because some of us know what happens when we do that.
