(jeesh, it’s not the Pit we’re in, I was being polite with the “sorry”). Well, I’m sorry you feel that way, and I’m not sure why you want to insult me. I apologise for trying to explain. I’m obviously just filthy, and low class. I won’t associate with you any more, and my apologies for even trying. ---

Whoa-slow down. I posted at the same time and didn’t see your apology. But I thought that you were taking me to task for saying sorry, like there was no reason to be sorry. There wasn’t a reason to be sorry–I was trying politely to soften my position in order to not hurt your feelings, since my POV is opposite yours. Your post about not saying sorry led me to think that you wanted honesty over diplomacy–so I gave that instead. It seems like a small matter, at any rate. You are free to place your cell phone anywhere you want to. I wasn’t calling you dirty and low class–maybe you have a graceful and sexy way of answering the phone that would make all women envy you. (I am trying to be funny here–not being snarky). You do your thing and I’ll do mine. Fair enough? ---

Fair enough, **eleanor.** 🙂 I apologise for overreacting a bit (don’t know if I came across that way, but I \*did \* get a bit huffy here at home). It’s impossible to hear the tone of someone’s post, and I think our wires got crossed. Humblest apologies if I came across as insulting. Or dirty, or low class 😉 And I promise I won’t haul a cellphone out of my brastrap in front of you. Heck, I don’t even own a cellphone, I just keep my personal stuff in there. And I’d never _dream_ of hauling it out in public. And that heated bra looks heavenly! Though… I worry it might make me sweat. 😛 ---

🙂 (I was thinking re that bra–wouldn’t that just make you hot as hell? Do they not wear wool in Japan? I wear two layers in the wintertime here and am cozy warm…that bra must be like carrying around your own personal hot flash 24/7…and I already do that!) ---

I swear I am not looking for this stuff, but my other bb is boob fixated tonoc. Here ya go, **Anastaseon** --one more thing to tuck away (so to speak)… [you’re singing my song…](http://www.ananova.com/news/story/sm_1570835.html) ---

I don’t carry stuff in there on a regular basis… but there are occasions on which I have no pockets and no purse, and then yes, generally it’ll go in there. With boobage my size, though, things hide rather discreetly…A few weeks ago I went to a concert at which cameras were not allowed in. There were purse checks and pat downs, but I managed to get in my camera, as well as the cameras of two friends, by artfully distributing them among the boobage. It worked rather well, if I do say so myself. 🙂 ---

> [@Draelin](#): > > Some bras for larger ladies don’t actually touch the breastbone in between the twins. Just as a note, **Draelin** : that’s not a feature of any bra, honestly. If your bra doesn’t touch your breastbone in between the gals, it means it’s not the right size. And count me in the “ew, yuck” group. Yes. Boobs sweat (or 99.9% of them do, especially when they’re a bit larger). Doesn’t mean the boobs stink, but bills are made of paper and hence are absorbant. I HATED getting bills from bras when I was a cashier at a gas station. Damp warm bills are just disgusting. ---

Oh, and I _never ever_ got a bra/cleavage bill that _wasn’t_ damp. Ever. ---

As a slight aside, what would be the most embarassing ring-tune for a set of breasts to suddenly start playing? (My grandmother used to keep change wrapped in a handkerchief tucked in there - but that was back when there were a number of things you could buy for less than a dollar.) ---

As to the question of nutsacks that someone raised, the reason that we guys carry our gonads around externally in the first place is that sperm overheat and die at normal body temperature (further proof of unintelligent nondesign if you ask me). The factory temperature is regulated by sweat and expansion or contraction of the scrotum. Unless it’s really cold, a guy wearing pants or shorts is probably going to have a fully slack sack that needs further cooling, so out comes the sweat. ---
