Let Down

Sharp pain in my side! Big reaction! For a stabber I'll show no compassion! I search 'neath my clothes; Oops! No crime, I suppose When Sir Underwire is the assassin !

Poor Elizabeth: I can relate and it isn’t really an LOL moment. I can never wait until I can get home and be ‘loose and lovely’ again. When I got shingles once my best friend in Honolulu taught me that saying when I had to go bra-less. SuZ

Hi, Suzanne! I know! One of my favorite stories: another lady phoned my friend about 6 PM saying let's go out for a meal. Lady#1 hesitated. No, can't go. I've already taken my bra off! Totally understood! Elizabeth

Ouch! One thing we guys don't have to worry about, I suppose. I'd like very much to LOL this piece, Elizabeth, but I"m not sure if that would be politically correct.

And Heaven knows what he has been up to. I think he hid my hearings aids But I win; they were in my shoe! Liz

I can't imagine why any woman would wear something that constrains blood circulation to vital parts, deforms shoulders and ribcage, chafe's skin, and inappropriately pokes one, but you have managed to find humour with it. Aloha!

We keep on proving Freud was right; no sacrifice too great for the libido. Tattoos, steroids, let alone cosmetic surgery, piercing, and deforesting of genitalia! And that's just the men! (I'm glad that at least it was funny.) Liz
