I almost choked on it.<br /><br />What sticks in my mind about those first bras was that they were constructed from the most unpleasant, scratchy synthetic material imaginable. Until I developed a threshhold for that, the first summer was a misery.<br /><br />(Deleted and reposted by me because I addressed it to the wrong person. Because clearly I've only had 3/4 of a cup of coffee and that is NOT ENOUGH.Shieldmaiden96https://www.blogger.com/profile/04673938377819957295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16517751.post-2678660674518922182010-08-09T08:57:47.294-04:002010-08-09T08:57:47.294-04:00Oh, and FORGET minimizer bras. If you had any frie...Oh, and FORGET minimizer bras. If you had any friends who were a bit advanced in their development they got the scratchy model that transformed them into Bettie Page. The boys didn't dare snap those straps for fear of ricochet.Shieldmaiden96https://www.blogger.com/profile/04673938377819957295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16517751.post-26571567955904663852010-08-09T08:55:28.699-04:002010-08-09T08:55:28.699-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Shieldmaiden96https://www.blogger.com/profile/04673938377819957295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16517751.post-25911253613696380352010-08-09T04:01:40.317-04:002010-08-09T04:01:40.317-04:00Favorite line: No, thankye kindly.

I was reluctant but succumbed to peer pressure and my mother's decree that "it was time."<br /><br />The peer pressure came about from all of the boys who felt the need to snap the girls' bra straps.<br /><br />Talk about being ostracized when there was no strap. It was like puberty's version of The Crying Game.cardiogirlhttp://feeds2.feedburner.com/cardiogirl/jkaKnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16517751.post-19609697650657519922010-08-08T19:16:11.108-04:002010-08-08T19:16:11.108-04:00You are one of my very favorite writers.

I tried to wear it all day yesterday and I ended up around 11:30pm whipping it out of my sleeve in the ambulance and shoving it in the glove compartment (no patients on board, don't worry). It was incredibly uncomfortable, though not nearly as uncomfortable as the realization that I'd LEFT IT in the glove compartment. Had to run over there this afternoon and snatch it out before someone went to replace the disk in the speed monitor and got a face full of padded goodness.<br /><br />JD, my sister used to assert that 'more than a mouthful's a waste'.<br />Of course, she spent a tax return check on a new pair a few years ago so YMMV. <br /><br />Kristen-- Thanks!! As for the steering wheel,I've done that too, sadly. Usually when I drop something on the floor. Ambulances have a lot of extra equipment in the front and the cabs aren't very roomy.<br /><br />Thanks, Natalie! Those are the best kind of comments.<br /><br />Walt, the problem was less the size and more the fact that the, ah, altimeter was broken on the old model. I was not achieving proper elevation.<br />Oh, never mind.Shieldmaiden96https://www.blogger.com/profile/04673938377819957295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16517751.post-6572841216747334822010-08-05T10:21:38.719-04:002010-08-05T10:21:38.719-04:00Nice - that was a great read.
