"Do I explain about IUDs? Or have I already taken this too far?" I just... I love you, Virginia.

On the question of bras, I have a suspicion that no one is making bras specifically with the needs of fat bodies (especially fat midsections) in mind. I've been having so much trouble with bra bands cutting in and rolling up. So it's evenmore complex than the already-complex set of variables about cup size, band size, breast shape and position, shoulder shape, etc. I recently tried a new bralette from Evelyn and Bobbie - their Defy bra is fabulous but was looking for one with a bit less coverage - and the cup/lift part was perfect but the band was rolled up so far it was practically in my armpit.

On the question of dinner parties, I love to make fajitas. So easy to make, so flexible for different eating needs, and I've yet to find a guest who wasn't excited about it.

I loved this conversation! One thing, my husband has decided to go Keto. Pray for me. He is good about preparing his own food and it's all about his insecurity regarding aging and I am being gentle and supportive about loving him as is but I am so tired of hearing about his carb counts. Like I said, pray for me.

Another thing, I have found that Soma has a pretty decent wireless bra that actually doesn't cut into my skin, I'm a 36 D for reference. I have, however, yet to find a sports bra that is the same amount of comfy as it is supportive for my high intensity equestrian hobby...

And another thing, face shields! Didn't know these existed! Must acquire!

Loved this whole episode and thanks for answering my question about skinny husbands. Don't worry, my husband has always said positive things about my body. The problem lies mostly within me.

Corinne, I will join you in the face-shield-wearing. I have one bookmarked but I’ve been too chicken to put it in my cart. If each person reading this gets one we would start the trend!

I love this all so much! Corinne fabulous photo: I’m going to get myself a sun face shield because I had a serious accident that damaged my eyes and juggling my various seeing glasses sunglasses etc etc is so hard! I think the face shield might help. Virginia: so thrilled with Burnt Toast. Sent it to my book group. Look for new subscribers from retired academics. ♥️♥️♥️
