About right, unfortunately. The Internet making all things available to all people is a mostly good, but sometimes bad, thing.

I'm so jealous!!! By the way, MissJ, off-topic but wanted to add I'm so glad you're settled into your new place, and hope you're getting used to the change.

Thanks gracey. It's hard to get used to since I was 25 years in other place with all my 'habits' (which have to change in this one). Like no more going out the door and a few yards away for a drink or to CVS around here. Stuff closes early. I used to go in and out most of the night in the cambridge place, like I could go out for a wine, come back, go out for some groceries, come back, go out again for some candy, go out again for something else etc because everything was kind of right next to me and open most of night. I sometimes go back to the old apartment and get kind of depressed to see it being all torn down--my walls and all. But sometimes, I feel like it's STILL MINE and just check to see how it's doing. It's being renovated and modernized which means MY work in it has been DEMOLISHED so far. I never knew I would miss Porter Square area but I do. I was there tonight and ran into Larazelle but I had to go back on the train and she could not hang out till the later train. Gracey wrote:

How could you have ever thought that you would NOT MISS the Porter square area - being what it is with everything open 24 hrs but also that you lived there for 25 years - LOL I'm sorry I could not hang with you - I will look into train schedules and maybe in the Fall I will come by to see your new place - so I can write a report on it for all your fans - LOL Hotels in Cleveland

MissJ, it has to be really sad to see all of your beautiful work demolished! So glad you took the pictures when you still had the chance. I'm sure you'll gradually get used to the new place and find things to love about the area...which I think you'll come to realize can be a positive in your life. It may take time, but Believe in it! Even if it turns out to be a stepping-stone, that's not a bad thing either. I hear ya about getting used to the different lifestyle. I've lived in the opposite of Porter Square for too many years, so I want to be somewhere with lots of people and businesses when I finally get the chance to sell my place...if that ever happens. I'm in the country...as in "the big event this weekend will be pick your own berries" at one of the local farms, LOL. It's a no-streetlights/not-even-one-traffic-light kinda place, with no businesses, and small enough that it doesn't even have a town center! It's beautiful, it's private, and it was great for raising kids surrounded by nature...but I'm SO over it. There is nothing to do here and no way of meeting new people, and no public transportation. None of what Porter Square and areas like it offer. Sooo, I can really relate to how you'd miss having everything so close to you all those years. I'm glad you at least have the train available.

Yes, country living has its own unique charm - but having a train available to take you to the "real world" is having the best of both worlds - and I think MissJ has that going for her - I don't know how far she is from the train - but if it is less than 5 mins then she has it made - she can enjoy her bucolic surroundings at the same time come into the city to get groceries and visit people.

Seriously, I never thought I would miss it because I was often 'escaping' to over here (for NATURE). It was my 'dream' to live here. I like it here. It's just that I miss Porter square. It could be nicotine withdrawal. As you know, I'm not allowed to smoke in this place and I got into the habit of doing that in the other place when I was at the computer. I know BAD, bad bad habit which I've had to break living out here. I'm told that that must be part of it. I actually did not like Porter Square but I was 'used to it' and being used to something, even if you don't like it that much can result in missing it--maybe??? All my friends around here go to bed at 9 or 10pm and get up at 5am and there is really no one to hang out with in eves. Yes. Take a look at the train schedule so you know it's flukey problematic hours. As I said, I would be able to hang around till 11pm or so on a week night because the train leaves then. But the one before it leaves around 8:45 and when I come in, I come in on the 5:20 train that gets in around 6 pm. So there is not much time to hang out in Porter but to do the errand I'm there to do. When fall comes around, I will probably get to Porter earlier because I would have to swim in early afternoon. But now I swim in late afternoon so the sun does not get to me as much. Crap. Now that I live here, my friends are not going to allow any excuses as to why I can't swim in the COLD water in fall.

Ya, the train is here but it does not have a frequent schedule. Week day schedule from Porter was good for me: Went out to Concord at 1:30 and going back was 5:20, 7:28, 8:15 and 9:10 and then an 11 something one which was good when I was 'escaping' for the day FROM Cambridge and going back. Week end times suck though. I thought I would get used to it but I still have that city stay up late and get up late habit where this is a place where one should get up early and go to bed early as there is really nothing doing at night.

I live very close to the train station. I miss my favorite conductors too. I really liked taking the train and would 'time' when I went back to cambridge and came here with when 'my conductors' were on board. Larazelle wrote:

MissJ, try wearing the no-underwire Spanx bra. I have them with the front closure. They have wide straps, provide VERY comfy support, and don't have the hook closures in the back. Since I do lots of floor exercises (sit-ups, yaddayadda,) I simply HATE bras that hook in the back and dig in when I'm on my back. I am by no means well-endowed, and 25 years ago, could easily go for weekend hiking/backpacking trips sans bra. Now, the dang flappers weigh like a lead skillet. I am SO wanting a breast lift just to keep them up. Part of my prob is posture, but even at my middling size, I just want them hiked up about 2 inches. I'm bummed at most of the breast lift "after" shots I've seen: firmer, rounder, even a bit smaller ... and NO higher! Like doorknobs tacked onto the chest between boob and navel level. You want to twist them and call out, "Who was your doc?" >:-( Ack. =================================== MissJ wrote:I just don't like the feeling of them. I Bug U

Camis with built in shelf bras are really comfortable at night (at least for me). No underwires, hooks or anything to stab you in the middle of the night.

I just noticed that my nipples are not as high as they used to be.--aging is getting to me. Ya, the bras that hook in back are not as comfy as the front hook up ones used in gym class.

Thanks! I will google that technique and give it a try. When my posture is straight, even my NECK looks smoother and tighter! (Abs, too, goes without sayin') Oh, if only good posture would lift my NIPPLES UP at least two inches! (I think I am needlessly explicit here ... but was just staring in bug-eyed irritation at their drooping countenance after my post-workout shower t'night) Is there even one particle of privacy left to the imagination? The doorknobs beckon ... and I'm not liking it. ====================================== stache wrote:Buggie, try yoga or Alexander Technique for posture. I Bug U

Yes, sadly, those nips are like the setting sun ... getting ever closer to the horizon without ANYONE on the shore even wanting to take a look at 'em. I think I read somewhere that you KNOW you want a boob lift when the bottom of your nip sits at a level below your armpit. Oh well. Sunset anyone? ======================================= MissJ wrote:I just noticed that my nipples are not as high as they used to be.--aging is getting to me.

The breast starts at the armpit. So even in a perky breast -natural or enhanced- the nipple is below the armpit
