5"4. I know I'm supposed to be a 6-8. Before the kids, I was. 2 kids later, well, you know.

Psst. Lots of folks have a couple of kids and still look smoking. See e.g. dtb, for one.

I'm a 12. Is that ginormous?

It is not ginormous by U.S. standards at all. In fact, it's probably on the skinny side. But NYC is a totally different story. There are more size 0s here than you can shake a stick at, and once you are past size 8, you are probably considered chubby by NYC standards. That's just kind of the way it is.

But who the fuck cares, really. I know Thurgreed and he is scrupulously honest and he said you seemed happy and you seemed to like your life and you seemed like a nice person. I have no doubt this is true. We all have issues with our appearance -- if you are happy that is really all that matters.

That's hot. Every day, something happens that convinces me a little more that I ought to just sleep with TM and get it over with.

What? It's from Pottery Barn!

That was me.

I eventually bought this one from Pottery Barn, though:

Nice, but if you were to put some screens in the windows you wouldn't need the mosquito netting.

My old lady weighs less than she did pre-kid.

I gained 10 lbs (But I think that's just the cirrhosis).

That's un-fattening guaze.

Me too, actually (on the weighing less).... though my tits are still bigger than they were pre-pregnancy.

I didn't say my post to coerce you into going easy on me.

That being said I think you were a little harsh.

2. I object to. I've never been told *ever* I wasn't at least min. pretty or cute. I appreciate you saying I'm not ugly but that was harsh.

3. I concede I'm so not a 2. However, I do point out that I run almost every day and am working on becoming less uh, chubby? as you put it. You make me sound like a whale, and I'm not.

and addendum, *3a* the 38 E is what the lady at Bergdorf measured me as and the bra I bought. Whether you wanted to see them naked really wasn't the issue at hand.

I understand you think I was a little harsh, but I worked hard on that post because I wanted to be fair and not harsh at all. Of course, it's my opinion, so it has to be fair to that opinion, which I think it was.

You may get told you're pretty or cute, but I think people are generally nicer than I am. Also, I didn't make you sound like you were a whale. I made you sound like you were chubby, which you are (not a good ratio). And maybe that bra is a 38E (and I don't see how that's possible), but everyone on the board had E cups in mind when you posted it and you don't have E cups. No way. Not even Ds. Completely misleading.

He is chubby. He is cute, at a minimum, though. And only annoying as hell when he eats too fast and gets pukey.

All this meeting up and reporting back has made me a bit jumpy. For a minute there I thought you were talking about your impressions of me at our last GA happy hour.

As of today I've sworn off all further IRL meetings in order to preserve my tall and sinewy on-line persona.

I love that effect.

I mean my wife's, not mine. No manboobs here. When I get those, its time to go...
