Well, I tried.....

I wanted to stitch this afternoon. DH wanted to watch the football game (Patriots or the Giants). I tried to stitch with football in the background. Didn't work. At all.



So, I finished reading Night Train to Rigel by Timothy Zahn. Quite good. Read the November issue of Discover (very funny article, in warped way, on the physics of bras) , flipped through a book on metal work and another on bead weaving.



Now, the boys are off to hockey and DD is watching kid TV. Can't stitch with that on either.

I can stitch with ANYTHING on (prefer not football, though!) I keep the tv on and more or less use it as radio - with pictures if it SOUNDS interesting!

I like to stitch to science, nature or history. Craft shows sometimes, or cooking. I can do baseball or hockey.

And definitely not SpongeBob Squarepants.

How is that you can't phase out sports?? I tend to phase all out. Last night Jim put on a CSI which I hadn't seen. I listened to it, and stitched. Right now I can't tell you what thr hell went on!!

I just finished reading that "Physics of Bras" article about an hour ago. That's got to be a mistake though, the part about 23 pounds per for a D cup. I mean, I've seen some big ones in my time but an analog to a huge Thanksgiving turkey is a bit much. They must have been thinking along the lines of one kilo and mistranslated the 2.2 lb equivalent.

There is something about football that I just can't ignore unless I am reading.

WORSE - DD appears to be becoming a real little jock!

Cheryl

I think they meant two 10 to 11 pound turkeys. I could believe that; I read some place that a woman who has her DD's reduced to a B cup loses an average of 20 pounds.

The article made me think of a comment made by an old boyfriend while watching a very busty woman jogging; "Ah the wonders of complex oscillatory motion."

I slapped him.

Cheryl

Remember, Victoria had a huge reduction. I wish I remembered more details.

Gillian ( still too much!)

And I've seen someone that I would easily believe 20-25 pounds each! I do think Mother Nature had a little help!

Cheryl

I can believe about 10 lbs each for D cups. My shoulders believe it anyway! LOL

I really must ask why you slapped him. Jill and I had a very sensible arrangement, that I was encouraged to look, but never touch. Just curious.

Wordsworth.

A very good friend of mine has F cups (un-enhanced) and is quite petite and otherwise down right skinny. She has her bras custom made and buys one or 2 a year. The width of the straps is amazing, close to 3" over the shoulder. She jokes that she will get a reduction after her husband dies.

Jim,

It wasn't the looking, it was the longing in his voice.

Cheryl

Aw! Stop boasting! LOLOL! (I`m only jealous).

Pat P

I always say there`s no harm in looking, Jim! Trust you to get in on the act in THIS thread! ROFLMAO!

Pat P

You must be a very tiny person otherwise, Vic!!!

Pat P

I've offered the excess to other friends before! rofl

Caryn

Hardly tiny! I'm 5'6" and need to lose more weight! Steady as it goes, I lost almost 50 pounds in 25 weeks on Weight Watchers.

I gained a ton when I quit smoking ten years ago and never lost it. So, I'm doing that now.
