tits and technology

[KnottedYet]

I really like the "Missing Manual" series. Doesn't assume you are an idiot or a dummy, but doesn't assume you already know everything, either.

I have the one for Mac OS X and really like it. Plus, they have a website for further help.

Well, I was hoping this thread would reveal a solution to Silver's freezing boobs from her random thoughts thread...

As to the computer: sunshine, I encourage you to get a tech savvy friend to help you...And check out "The Help Desk" story that I'll post on the humor forum in a few minutes....you'll enjoy it...

I'm with Mr. Silver -- a little bummed when I read this thread -- I was hoping for more bra technology too! I'm just looking for bras with straps that stay on my shoulders!

Mr. Silver -- I haven't seen 'em, but a way up in the north Canadian acquaintaince of mine once told me polar fleece bras are the way to go in winter!

I'm looking forward to the Ibex wool bras posted by Shagge. Barring that I think the wool bra posted by Duck will do fine!

I was imagining things like the eco-bra (*http://www.terradaily.com/2006/06110....ggkwzwsu.html )... or using bras as a way to smuggle your bicycle tools onto a plane by disguising htem as underwire...

Oh, but did you see this?


"Last year it unveiled a bra that can be heated in a microwave so as to help save on indoor heating costs."

maybe that's our answer

Oh Geonz - have you had the same experience as I?? Two summers ago I was heading for my annual trip to CO, going through security at Dulles outside of DC. The scenario was something like this:

TSA agent: "Would you step aside, we need to search your backpack."
Me: "Sure"
TSA agent dumps contents of backpack onto table - including helmet, shoes, purse, books, etc. etc., then says "AHA!! This is what we were looking for" as he holds up my Park Allen wrenches.
TSA agent: "You cannot take these on the plane"
Me: "I need that to reassemble my bike when I arrive at my destination."
TSA agent (smirking): "You cannot take these! If you want them the only thing you can do is check your backpack."
Me: "I don't want to check my backpack. May I ask why I can't take these on the plane?"
TSA agent: "Because you might use them to take apart the plane!"
Me: "So what do you do with this stuff after you confiscate it?"
TSA agent: "We throw them away."

It so happens I was assigned to a seat beside an off-duty flight attendant & related my story. She assured me - and we acutally LOOKED, too - that there is no place to use an Allen wrench in the cabin (or bathroom) of a plane.

I am not sure if your idea would fly (pun intended) on a plane - and I'm not sure of the comfort level of Allen wrenches used as underwire! *sigh*

IFJane, I loved your story about the Allen wrenches. Take apart the airplane?! Those people need to use some common sense. The last time I flew, the TSA people were taking a 1/3-full tube of Brylcream away from a little, old man who must have been nearly 90!

Technology is one of those things you either have a knack for or you don't. It's got nothing to do with breasts..

^_^ BF loves it when I talk tech. Even though I don't know the correct terms for what I'm doing I know what I'm doing. We got into a fight after he wouldn't give me back my mouse to fix a system error on my computer... HE WAS INSTALLING THE SOFTWARE WRONG!!! >_< lol I fixed it.

I only like people to do techno things if I can't do them myself...
