the cute little AA's on top. If I reach for the ones on the bottom, I may just keep going over, unable to stop myself!

Re - bras and E-Bay
I have a neighbor that buys clothes, underwear and all from Nordstroms or the nicer stores, wears them a bit, knows how to put the tags back on (if she even takes them off) and then either sells on E-bay or returns then after wearing for a while. She is really weird. Buys nice dresses, wears once to the event and then back it goes. But when I learned what she was doing with bras, sleepwear and swimwear I told her she was absolutely nuts.
BRAS
I find this funny. Lighten up. My daughter wanted a bra at age 2, her grandmother bought her one, she wore it around the house once and then put it away. I still have it and she is 14. I don't think I will ever know why she wanted one, and I certainly would not have gotten her one, but MIL did to please the child. It would not hurt to buy those cute little matching crop/bras and panty sets for kids with the Disney stuff on them. It is just clothes or underclothes. Be thankful she wants to wear them and not running around naked. You got to know what battles to pick.
Happens with bras with me!! nm

Wacoal bras....
are absolutely the best. They are high priced, start at about $45 and up, but worth it. I got mine at Nordstrom and will not settle for cheap bras! I also get Victoria Secret Ipex and Secret Embrace. Very comfy, believe it or not.
Wearing Bras
Yes, I just for the first time this year bought bras for my daughter. She seemed okay with it, but she's slightly overweight, so I felt this would be easier than buying T-shirts that are not long enough to tuck in. So, we went with the Sport Type kind that she seemed to like at first, and now I've noticed she's not wearing them. So, I asked her why, and she says she just forgets, which is highly possible, since it's only been since school started. I just feel better knowing she's wearing something, but of course, she was wearing T-shirts. So, what is one to do? I really do not see any harm in the bra. I am totally against having little girls dress beyond their age, but we're talking underclothes here, so if the child is comfortable, then just try one to see how she likes it. My daughter was kind of embarassed as it was actually my idea since I felt she needed something under her regular shirts, since they tend to be thin and unforgiving in her situation. Good luck to you, but I in no way, shape, or form believe that bra at 5 means thing at 10 and even if it does, so be it. I think a person has a right to a certain degree to wear the underclothes of their choice if any at all! 
I just think there could be worse things that she is asking for at 5.
Can we talk about bras?
I am a 36-D...or so I think. The 36-part is okay, but the D-part is the problem. Any style of bra I try, I get the "muffin boobs" out the top and it drives me insane. A DD is too big...is there a size in between a D and a DD that I'm missing? Any particular brand that might fit better? Thanks y'all!
Thanks! Bras are EXPENSIVE!! nm

Bras - NOrdstroms fitting
I never thought that I would pay this much for a bra - but I went to Nordstroms about 10 years ago to be fitted -- before it was on Oprah - and fell in love with them. I usually buy 3 bras at a time and they last me for at least 3 to 4 years. I tried some cheaper ones when I was going through my divorce taking the same size that Nordstrom's gave me and did not work. I do not have straps slipping, or tightness -- unless I gain weight. But they do know what they are doing and I now feel comfortable wearing a bra even in the hot weather. Oprah had a special on them with the type of bra that she wears and it was all true and I agreed with all of it as I had been through that experience before. To me a comfortable bra is more important than comfortable shoes.
If they are wearing bras at 5, it will be thongs at 10
makeup at 12, and birth control pills at 14. How about these unbelievable salon parties some of these mothers are doing for their 8 and 10 year old girls; taking all the girls to the salon to have the hair and makeup and nails done. Today, just about everyone is a ''wannabe''. I want to be rich; I want to be beautiful; I want to be famous; I want to have big boobs; I want perfect teeth. I want a nose job. I want to be thin. I want a designer handbag. I want a cell phone, an IPOD and a blackberry! Why, because everyone that matters is or does! Everyone they look up to. Everyone on TV! That is all they know.
Ask a group of very young girls today what they want to be when they grow up and see how many say, a singer, an actress, a movie star or just plain rich and famous in any way possible! It's terribly sad what this world has turned into. And some parents are just as bad because they want this for their children, also.
TV and media magazines should be banned; it's not only destroying the kids but adults also. How many of you feel your self-esteem lowering more and more by seeing all of this stuff? How many of you have contemplated plastic surgery, veneers, teeth whitening, losing weight, especially in the last ten years? How many of you suddenly are feeling bad or envious of others because you don't have that big gorgeous home or that expensive great car?
It's a horrible world we now live in and that's why I am not having children.
And don't tell me I don't know about children because I have two nieces and a nephew that I practically raised.
Good day ;)
I hated to pay for expensive bras as well
but it really is worth it I promise you. I have a black and a nude bra from VS. I went in for an actucal fitting and these bras have been wonderful. I don't think I will ever wear anything else. I know that you don't have to go to VS to get a good bra, but I had a gift certificate, and while I don't think that is what DH was expecting my to buy, it was totally worth it. Right now I am in the second year of both bras, just wash in the sink and hang dry which definitely helps keep them in shape. I am 38D so I really need plenty of support. It is almost time for new bras, but since you can tighten the straps as well as around as you go, they have made all the difference in the world. Like I said, you can get good quality bras at major department stores without spending what you would spend at VS, but just check into it. I promise you it will be worth it.
Underwear, bras? Only to leave the house.

I am small and only wear sports bras
I can't stand wearing a regular bra. I'd rather go without. LOL.
I buy mine at Lane Bryant. Everything else I buy at Wal-Mart but they are the best for bras and fitt

Can't believe he wasn't even in the bottom three! nm

I always comb from the bottom up
Use a wide tooth comb. When hair is wet, start from the bottom and comb up a little at a time. Tangles seemed to "slide" out better going bottom to top., and it keeps you from ending up with a big knot at the bottom.
bottom line
The bottom line is the rules. We all have rules. We all have choices. There are consequences to our choices. That is life. Whether or not you agree to the rules and/or the consequenes is irrelevant.
If one does not like the idea of a teacher getting his/her jollies out of paddling a female student, then one must keep that in mind when choosing to break a rule.
There were 2 choices of punishment here and, one of which was not corporal, but IMO missing class would hurt your daughter more in the long run. I do think she made the right choice and I also think it was wise to tell her that next time she'll have to miss class.
It's so easy as parents to set rules and consequences and not follow through with the consequences, but in an environment with hundreds and sometimes thousands of students, teachers/administrators must follow through or there would be no education.
I'm not saying the punishment fits the crime here, but after the fact is too late.
It's obvious that you completely understand the above because you are not arguing the unfairness of the punishment, but anxiety over your child. Any good parent would feel that way.
I'm just posting this in response to the posts that argue against corporal punishment. I don't agree with it either just for the record. There are laws I don't agree with but guess what? In the real world, I break a law I don't agree with and I get punished.
I hope you slept well and all went well today (Monday). Please post a followup.
Bottom eye liner sm
Gosh, I am waay up there but have absolutely no bottom eyelashes, I put a thin brown liner on or everyone tells me I look sick or awful, and I also think I look really bad. Please tell me a thin brown line is okay on the bottom lid. I know they glue eyelashes on, but want no one near my eyes. Anyone else bottom lash bald?? As for the younger kids, as long as they don't look like a racoon, less is more and keep it light, it's okay but preteen, is questionable. Even my 5+ year old puts a little blush on and lip gloss to play and then we make her wipe it almost all off before she leaves the house. They just want to fit in. So do I!! Help!
cashews... top or bottom?

Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
We will be leaving the space between our pillows where Fred slept each night empty in his honor. I truly appreciate the love and support you all have shown. Only those who have walked in our shoes can understand the depth of the love and the enormous loss we feel.
I think the bottom 3 tonight will be
Lil, Matt, and Allison. Possibly Kris. I think Matt's going home, simply because he's not as memorable as some of the others even though I really like him.
A local mastectomy center might fit you for bras, too. Or a high-end lingerie store. nm

Does it clean the bottom of the shower/tub also?
nm
I agree with you - the bottom 4 now are all GREAT
That is still a high $ pole - even at the bottom! nm

Middle here, too, for everything so you don't scorch the bottom or
s
I was glad Adam was in the bottom two.
He's getting so monotonous. I would have preferred Allison go before Matt though. And what about Kris?! He should've gone before Matt or Allison. Guess the young girls are voting enough for him to keep him around. Either way, at this point, as long as Danny stays, I'm happy :)
I wonder how much damage is being done by the groups like 'vote for the worst' and DJs who tell them to do that, etc... Wish they'd let it play out without interference.
don't believe they were the bottom 3, Ryan said results in NO ORDER. (nm)

The bottom line is an infected person in
the largest city in Texas... not good.
Now that I've reached the bottom of the bottle but...
thanks for the info. I love this product and so did my mom. The funeral director asked what my mom used on her skin as it was in such good shape and she was a beach goer. Oh well, back to Vaseline! Any other brand name this goes by? I have used the CVS brand also thinking it is Olay with a private label of CVS.

37 y/o and I still have long thick blond hair to my bottom! sm
I have had long hair my entire life...and will probably keep it that way for many, many years to come. I used to be a very blond when I was young, but the older I get the darker it gets....so I do a nice color on it to keep it blond. I have a 13y/o daughter and we are looking more like sisters than mother/daughter..but I am not trying for that at all. I jut love my hair and dont care who else does or does not.
I graduated the bottom of my high school class (#136 out of 137), but
I have an IQ of 160.
But, lets bottom line this, being as married to the most powerful man in the US
I let her slide in her clothes, shoes, etc. She has a tall brother, therefore maybe her father tall, don’t know about her mother. She carries a lot of clout, no matter how she dresses, wears, her height, and on and on. Don’t hate on the First Lady.
Just wanted to comment on the wonderful quote at the bottom of your post!

Frito corn chips in the bottom of a bowl, chili
on that with your choice of toppings - we usually put shredded cheese and onions on top. The local BBQ joint makes it with corn chips, shredded pulled pork, bbq sauce and bbq beans - SOOOO good!!
