Miss Ryan YOU are correct! Add a couple of years to your age and keep the ta-tas and your description would fit me to a T! In my case I guess i'm just glad they are still lookin" i guess that makes me straight and shallow!!!

And, I am a very few on the other side of you, and boobs make all the difference. It just surprises the heck out of my kids when they notice it. At 16 and 12, the girls are aware enough to notice guys checking out Mom...EWWW... LOL

I like the socks, nice and bright, and a neat pattern. Far better than the boring boy socks or even the not so boring boy socks. :)

You, my dear, are never boring.

I agree -- I'm never bored when I visit here. And really, any post with ta-ta discussion can't be all *that* boring, can it? I think that I must generate some kind of jamming field because ta-tas notwithstanding, I do not get oggled. I'm OK with that (maybe that's the vibe?). Although once in a while, when I'm feeling saggy and grey, one tiny oggle wouldn't be so bad...

Do NOT feel that you must only post when you're in an upbeat, happy mood!

I will be very cross with you if you persist in this belief.

Bodacious ta-tas are always good. I think you need that SL,UT t-shirt that Margene sent to Norma.
Those socks will be cute. I covet the Farmhouse colorway. Dunno why I haven't purchased it yet, but when I see your socks I might hafta.

When I can't read you I worry about you - even a little "up periscope" "wave of the hand" is reassuring to those of us who are interested in how you are doing. It doesn't have to be lengthy. Even "Not up to it today" could be good for you to connect with us. We do care in a virtual kind of a way!

My ta-tas are not even all that bodacious, but you are RIGHT. I agree about the SL,UT t-shirt you must wear, or the equivalent of my red top. Holy cripes, if ever I'm feeling down in the dumps, that's all it takes for a good laugh. Or to walk AWAY from poor pathetic guys in McDonalds wearing Bluetooth devices in their ears, IN my hot jeans, which they could not see until I got up to walk AWAY. Did I mention AWAY?! Hee. I got the powah!

I forgot to mention, Ryan, that the first couple of times I got on the elliptical, I felt the same way. Now I'm one of those pros who can use it backwards -- and FAST! It only takes a few tries. But use the bike for a while 'til you start to feel centered and confident. You'll see. You'll eventually like it. I promise. :)

I say any post by you is a good post, whether you're feeling blue or not.

I have long been of the opinion that, when one is the object of boob ogle (and really, boobs are to straight guys as metal filings are to magnets, as far as I can tell), should you say something along the lines of "Nice, aren't they?" that said male might just answer you before his brain catches up with his ears.

You also know it is an ogle when they just stare at the ta tas like they are a magic eye picture for a full minute and a half.

As I am tragically ta-ta-less, I'll have to take y'all's word on this ogling thing ... although I do console myself that that must be why nobody ever ogles me. Right? RIGHT?!?!?!

I've tried the elliptical twice, and both times I found that I wanted to RUN on it -- like pick up and put down my feet on it ... which I do understand is precisely NOT THE POINT OF IT. And I watch those going backwards and used to wonder ('til Norma just cleared it up) if they were doing it on purpose!

I can run because it's got that whole "one foot in front of the other" thing going on, which I pretty much usually already know how to do.

And, dear Ryan, don't worry about being boring -- if we could only chat with our friends when we were entertaining, then where would we be?

The recumbent bikes are great - kind to the back and relatively low impact on the knees.

Yes...big boobies get the mens attention regardless of what else is attatched. I'm quite over weight and have huuuuuuge tracts of land and I do end up wear lots of low cut shirts...and get the oogley eye as well. But..for me the low cut shirts are so much more comfortable. I wore a t-shrt the other day and thought I was strangling myself!

Nope, not boring. Even though you have no clue who I am, and I do not comment often, I always like to see a post! Hope you have more good days than bad. And congrats on the gym stuff. that is a hard thing to start.. and continue! I am swimming due to knee problems. I like it, but it is still hard to make myself get there!

I don't comment often but I just want to tell you that your posts are never boring! Your blog is in my top-5 list at least, no matter what's going on, so please, please post, even if you're feeling like a picklepuss!

I think I'm either (a) generating a jamming field like one of the earlier posters mentioned, or (b) totally clueless and oblivious. I wear a G-cup and I never notice any ogling. Boooo. I wanna be ogled. (Does that make me crass and shallow?)

Although now that I think about it, being ogled by the men in my town could be sort of gross. Maybe I just wanna be ogled when I go to the bookstore near campus, or something....

think of it as a compliment. whether straight or not, t hey appreciate the feminine form, lol.

ellipticals blow me out. i can't last more than 6 minutes on one. i like the reclining bike because i can knit/crochet while i'm on it (i don't belong to a gym at present, but i've been there (the closest one is in a neighborhood i don't like, and i hate the thought of driving 10 miles just to get sweaty, when i can do that by walking around here)

It's a curse. No matter how bad you look otherwise, they stare at the ta tas.

Back in high school when I was lamenting being a D cup I never dreamed one could "blossom" into a J cup. God help me. I am holding out hope that when the boy stops nursing they'll shrink, but who am I kidding? They'll probably just deflate and I'll be tucking them into my pants. As it is I'm sitting here typing this in my jammies and the girls are sitting on my lap.
So sexy.

Another admiring lurker, not just here for the ta-ta's. Honestly, girl, if you can make me giggle through the dinner I'm trying to eat while I read when you're still totally depressed, that's some admirable sh*t. I love your blog, I feel like hell today myself, and the day would have been less without you.

Hunh. If you're aiming to post the lamest of the lame, you're going to have to try much harder. This was far too much fun to read.

Clever you, for not believing everything you feel. Love ya!

As Serlina said in the movie Men in Black II, "IDIOTS! You could rule the planet with the right set of mammary glands." So true! Wait til you get to be my age - the anti-ogle is you take the bra off the large ta-tas, they crash to the waist and blend in with the rolls already waiting there and they are no longer the least tempting. 'course that would hurt to wear them that way at the gym and I don't really go out in public like that but I'm betting it would do the trick. Just showing up for work and at the gym is a huge victory when you are feeling depressed so give yourself a high five for that. See you at Ferals? Oh Pleeeeeze?

We'll take you grumpy, boring, whiny--any way we can get you! Of course, we also enjoy smily, exciting and silly, but all the time is irritating. ;)

I'm also a fan of the recumbent bike. I only had one mishap with it: I used to belong to an all women's gym in a Jewish neighborhood. Hence, there was fair number of Orthodox Jewish women who worked out there. One day I was whizzing away on the bike at my usual 120 rpm when a woman sat down next to me and remarked, "How do you go so fast?" I looked at her and said, "Oh, I've got a lot of frustration to work off." She exclaimed, "Gee. I have 13 children. I thought I was frustrated, but I can't go anywhere near that fast!" At the words "13 children" I momentarily froze in terror at the idea, my right foot slipped off the pedal and it crashed into the back of my leg as it came back around. Oops. Needless to say, I told the woman, "You win!"

Shapeless workout sack: totally. I completely changed what I wore at the gym here at work because of one guy who was actually on the STAFF of the gym. He's left now, so I can wear what I damn please again. But that made me so mad. I was old enough to be his MOM and he was a newlywed and he wouldn't stop telling me how great I looked.

I concur, you have a long way to go to achieve "boring." Having ta-ta's stared at, or, my new best friend the booty-ogle is a reminder that I may be too hard on myself (too plain, too frumpy, too round, etc.). Off to practice my booty-walk.

I feel for you Ryan! I fell off a NordicTrack--stupid thing pitched me right over the front bars. And the rowing machine--I got it to sink. Stupid machines. Now I just leash up a doggie and have him drag me around the block. Doesn't cause as much laughter. Or injury, for that matter.........

As for ta-ta's, woefully do I lack those. Unless I wear my "Bra of Invincibility", that has enough padding and pushing to make even *me* seem impressive.

Hugs to you, TMK and Frankie.
ps....any chance of some Frankie pix???????

Boring you have never been. I worry when we do not hear from you. I would agree that even a simple Not Today I have a Headach is better than nothing. I dont know of anyone that is happy/funny/on target every day. It actually helps me to know that other people struggle just like I do.

I agree, I like the bike because it is comfortable and I cannot fall off. I too have fallen off, been pinched, tossed and other wise abused by that gym equipment. But I have also found dog walking to be a bit dangerous if you have a small dog. I have the world's most shy cocker spanial who hides under my skirts at the sight of a sparrow. I have done my share of slips, trips and falls because of it, but I love her anyway. I guess they are just the aches and pains of life.

Love the socks and yarn.

The elliptical definitely takes getting used to, but it does provide a good workout (and the ones without the moving handles are a lot easier to begin with). For other cardio you can do sitting down, you might like the rowing machine. It feels like steps: push with legs, pull with arms, go back to beginning.

I don't think anyone would ogle me at the gym, but I am too busy keeping myself straight on the treadmill to notice what other people are doing.

Ryan, not boring. Not boring. Repeat after me: I am not boring. I'm relatively new to blogging and I see it as just another way of communicating, building up relationships, that sort of regular, human kind of thing. Some days we're up, other days we're down. That's almost beside the point. The point is there are a lot of people out here who care about you (myself included and I've never even MET you!!!) and when we see nothing for long-ish stretches of time we get concerned. I'm with Mel (one of the many Mels that have commented...toward the top of the posts) that a brief handwave or something, up periscope just to say, still here, would ease minds. Too preachy??

And I'm with Norma about the elliptical. It does get easier as you get used to it. It's my exercise equipment of choice. Take it slow, keep the incline and resistance low until you get the hang of it. Now come closer so I can tell you a secret....you don't really have to go backward when the machine tells you to! Yes, you don't! It won't really know, no bells and whistles will go off, no sirens or flashing lights. Sometimes, when I'm feeling particularly feisty I'll laugh at the screen and say BACKWARD, No way!!!
