Hello Whimsicalnbrainpan:
My father would not stop either. Ended up getting a divorse and moving back to Nebraska. Most people have a hard time with alcohol abuse. Even people who want to quit find it hard to stop. I truely lucked out. It was not easy at first, but the longer I stayed sober the better life got for me. Just like the virtual hugs we get here, you can not leave an AA meeting without hugging everyone at the table you shared with. This sometimes ranges around twenty to thirty hugs. A lot love at an AA meeting. So it was nice to come here and see the hugs going around our wonderful verse. I think what made it easy to stop was how much fear they put into me when I went to treatment. Of course none of us in treatment thought we were that bad until two weeks later and we started getting withdrawals. Talk about a rollercoaster ride.
All I can say is "thank God for hugs."

Lol, yeah, it looks like we've got more than a couple D+ ladies in the Imponderables.
Now I'm not picking on you Traveler 
but if you'll permit me, this is one of my tiny pet peeves. A lot of guys don't seem to know how the bra number (band size) & letter (cup size) system works. The number is based on your ribcage measurement, under the bust. Band sizes are only in even numbers, for no reason I can see. My underbust measurement is 27 inches, and since for some unfathomable reason the bra industry forces us to add 3" to 5" to that measurement, my band size is 30.
The letter is based on the number of inches difference between your bust measurement (measured at the widest point) and your underbust measurement. In practice this isn't nearly as clean and simple as this, but the basic rule is that each letter equals an additional inch of difference. So an A cup is one inch difference between bust and underbust, a B cup is a two inch difference, C is three inches, and so forth. It gets a bit messy after DD (five inch difference), as the letters get all messed up, but generally an increase in a letter means a one inch increase in the underbust-bust size difference. Generally the sizes go DDD/E, F, FF, G, GG, H, HH, etc (in the US, anyway), but that can vary greatly from brand to brand. In my favorite brand, I'm a 30G, but I have other sizes in my bra drawer too. (And to further prove that this is more of an art than a science, there's actually a 10 inch difference between bust and underbust for me, but the 30G is what fits best, so *shrug*.)
I saw a VH1 special once that claimed that Dolly Parton wears a 42DD. That's so untrue! Anyone who has ever seen Dolly Parton knows that she has a teeny tiny ribcage and waist, and really large boobs. I'd put her closer to a 30J or so (though with fake boobs, it starts to matter a lot less, since you don't actually need the support from a bra).
And that is all for today's lesson. Class dismissed!

I have a great amount of respect for anyone who is strong enough to get sober and face the daily battle to stay that way. Along with watching my mother deal with my grandmother I have seen too many friends and acquaintances chose to stay on the path of addiction. It is never easy to see someone you love pick that life. I admire you for deciding to live your life on your own terms and not the addictions. *gives Traveler a virtual hug and 
es* I hope you are very proud of what you've accomplished.
Add: Just call me Whim everyone else does and it saves time not having to type it all out.

Hello Whim:
Thank you for your post. Seeing what addiction did to my father certainly opened my eyes to what was becoming of me. Yor mother and her sisters had to make a hard choice with your grandmother. It is not easy walk away from somebody you love because of addiction. I'm sure your mother was considering the effects it would have on you when making this choice.
And warm hugs back at you, Whim.
PS
And CaliforniaKaylee I don't feel picked on. Women are special. And I would not poke fun, but the females started talking about bras and bra sizes, so I joined in. I am would think bras could be more adjustable. I guess that would be asking to much.

Yeah, that was me.
Right now I'm wearing a 42C, but thanks to CK, I know that's the wrong size for me because my ribcage isn't that big. So my best estimate is that I'm actually a 36D, since I used to wear a 36C and be just fine. Maybe I'm a 38D, though; not positive. As CK pointed out, there's just some sizes that fit and some brands that fit and you just have to find them. I need to go bra shopping, but they are soooo expensive.
And good morning all! Site was down when I got home, so I just turned in. Glad to see it's ok again

If you find yourself getting too worked up about stuff that isn't real (RP Threads etc), then go outside, breathe in some fresh air and try feeding the ducks. (Because ducks don't care about your politics, religion, skin colour, choice of music or even your haircut. They like everyone, provided you bring them food.)

Hello PhoenixRose:
CaliforniaKaylee just gave the complete guide to bra sizes. Sounds more like rocket science to me.
I bet it takes some shopping to find one that is comfortable. I remember an episode of "Married With Children", where the father searched all over Chicago to get his wife the one bra that she liked. I suspect that is true with most women. With men it seems to be boxer or briefs and were set for life. Just have to get a little bigger waist line as the years go by. Chocolate coverd donuts take their toll on my waist line anyway.
