And I thought you started working on the Miata! Well, I'm going to share this with my wife. She's talked about having one done on/off for years (size dd/ or E?). Yes, chronic back issues, tears about finding clothes that hang right. Bathing suits? She's a fitness instructor, but not built like a waff. think Xena.
I think I'll bring it up and see if she has questions for you. Thank you for being brave and sharing. I wish you a speedy recovery!
My eldest daughter (I've got two!) is a curvy stick, with size d's at age 15. I'm shopping for a shotgun. I have talked to her about how boys get dumb around them.
Take care!

Wait a minute nobody posted this yet. To Doll and Katy
Hey, didn't I say no asking for pics? :P
However...
Being as in love with myself as I am, I had a photographer come down from San Francisco and do an au natural photoshoot the weekend prior to my surgery. Once I'm healed up enough, we'll do another set.
And yes, the VERY TASTEFUL black & white pictures will be for sale in SF, but at $450 a pop, I don't see you guys buying them. Seriously, that's a Challenge car purchase right there! Besides, like I said, they're tasteful... :D

Dollraves, you have earned huge respect for honestly taking the necessary steps to take of yourself. It took a lot of internal strenght to choose that path, regardless of what some of the "less informed" may think. Your ego is definitely strong and we all hope your back quickly follows suit. And thanks for having faith that the board members here would offer the support, understanding and acceptance you deserve.
KatyB, you're a member of this club whether you like it or not. Anything else just doesn't matter. And, yeah, I'm admirer of members of the IBTC, no matter where they the park their cars.
We're all the better that you have chosen to be here.

The older I get, the more I learn about back pain.
The more I learn about back pain, the more I support your decision.
Take it easy, make sure you heal up right!

GRM Speak: Instead of asking if "the carpet matches the drapes," we ask "do the shoes match the car?"
And we'd be talking about shoes and cars...

Except when shoes are an analogy for aftermarket wheels.
Actually, if I had a question about carpet and/or drapes, I wouldn't put it past Off-Topic to provide some solid answers

Doll- I'm proud of you. Get well soon.
No, scratch that. You've always been well! Heal quickly!
You've given me new courage. If I decide to go through reduction surgery for my manhood, I'll make sure to post a thread about it on a shoe or interior decorating website!
Seriously, your strength and confidence is inspiring. I'm not man enough to talk as directly about some things as you are.
Heal quickly!! Luv ya!

How many inches of return? window opening size? percentage of pleats? Valance fixed or moveable?

If you do decide to get a reduction surgery for your manhood, please don't talk about how much you know everyone was looking at your manhood at the last challenge.

Sv, I've seen you with your fanny pack at the Challenge. I'm not sure you could reduce your manhood more than that... >ducks and runs<
I kid! You're the best. All my love to you & the family.
Doll, congratulations! I ran across an old GF from HS who had it done, she was MUCH better off. Being a troglodyte male, I never stopped to think how much of a pain (literally) they could be. She told me her bra straps used to cut her sometimes.
Fanny pack? We dirt bikers carry those but to save our masculinity we call them 'tool packs' or 'butt bags'.

Fanny pack? Am I missing something? Just what ARE you looking at, girl?
Never mind- don't answer that. This can only end badly.
In reply to SVreX:
Oh, wait, you're right...it's the socks with sandals, not the fanny pack. My bad. :D
