Emotional disconnect is an interesting subject. I find myself quite disconnected. I have a boyfriend but only see him on weekends as he is too busy during the week for us to get together.
My two closest friends live out of state and have families to raise so we are not in touch very often. The only friend I have nearby is a busy single working mother and we don't get to see each other often. I have drifted apart from most of the friends I did have. I don't blame anyone, it just happens.
The hard part is that I find it difficult to make new friends as I get older. What is worse is that I am a loner by nature and do not mind being by myself. This can be a very damaging socially. I do have many wonderful online friends that I cherish very much but it is not quite the same is it.

I'm moderately able with a sewing machine, so I sew a lot of my clothes (like bikini tops) and take in other things I buy off the rack (like button up shirts). But man, I may have to give in and pay the shipping rates for some of Bravissimo's stuff. (Btw, according to Figleaves' UK site's international size converter, I'd be about a 30F in UK terms.)

You can't take the sky from me...
I beat you, then - I'm a 30FF or a 30G in UK terms depending on the manufacturer. I currently have about £170 ($300) of stuff sitting in an online shopping basket of theirs and am resolutely not going to checkout... if you can sew, you rule. It's such a useful skill.
Vinterdraken - to be 100% honest I've never seen the appeal of cybering. Granted, I've never been involved with a guy who lived a long way from me, nor have I wanted to experiment that way, but even so... a computer feels terribly *impersonal* in that situation.
Edited to add; Whimsicalnbrainpan - you and I are evidently twins separated at birth, except that I don't have a boyfriend. The times that the disconnecting thing bothers me the most are when I don't feel bothered by being disconnected... I don't know, maybe it's society bombarding us with messages that loners are unacceptable. Not nice for those of us who are that way.

One more wardrobe malfunction and I am joining a nunnery and teaching catholic school while wearing turtlenecks and long pants!!!!!!!
Ok So I am currently wearing a skirt ( not that short about 2 inches above knee) and a boatneck sweater. I am still putting things away and cleaning my room, but it's dress for success Tuesday and we're supposed to wear office level attire. So I'm up on the shelf leaning out trying to hang something and slightly bent. One of my students( who has problems with impusiveness) blurts out " hey your panties match your skirt." So I right myself as the other boys shush him and he appologizes. I get down and start working on something else and ( I have ears like a bat and hear very well) I hear another one whisper to the first kid..." if her panties are red they match the bra" and I realize one of my bra straps is showing because my sweater's askew from all the moving things.... :embarrassed: SOOOOOO Embarrassed may need to crawl in hole! Am rushing out to purchase oversized sweatshirts, turtle necks and pants!
Where were you when I was in school!!
The hussy teacher!

Well Ponderables, I'm gone for the evening. I hope the future treats you well. I have to apologize for my scatter brained pondering/responses. Just sorting and processing seems to get more and more complicated as time goes by.
Catch y'all on the flip side.

Hi back to ya JonnyQuest.
The emotional unattachment of people. I have had to remove myself from people. When I sobered up, some of my friends would not support me. Even some of my family were less than sympathetic. My sister does not understand why I should behave in such a way, but watching people get intoxicated at Christmas is not much fun. So it goes beyond people in romantic relationships. Sometimes you need to separate from family as well. So I sit by the TV and watch Christmas movies like "The Lemon Drop Kid" and "A Christmas Story" to keep me company. So count your blessings this year.
I would discuss bras and panties, but you women are doing a pretty good job. And your more knowledgable than I. I prefer black.

Penguin - I see that you, like my own self, are from the "Mythical Land that is Iowa", however, if you're the king of this "corny" state, then what would that make me? The Court Jester, perhaps? Just thought we could clear this up. Anyway, just wanted to wave in your general direction since we're both "I-owe-an"s 
Separated at birth?

So...you're saying Claymore are Booby Traps?
Eloisa (welcome btw), RugBug and Whimsy: Triplets perhaps, not just twins from the sound of things.

Boobs: ...Double F? I've never seen natural double D's in my life. Come to think of it, it seems the FFG's (Firefly girls) are some of the most buxom to ever accumulate on the internet outside of a sex-site.
Cybering: No.
Have I done it? No.
Would I try it? No.
Would I like it? Heeell no.
Seriously. Why would I do something like that? It's like phone sex, but even less connective, because in the former, you at least have a voice to react to, rather than simply words in a chat box. I'm looking for more connection with people, not less.
Bah. Sometimes I think computer geeks really need to get out, once and a while.

Wow, y'all. I originally had turned this double post into a ten page rant last night. 
It apparently didn't survive. Maybe it's a sign...
