    It stands for Iesos Christos Theou (h)Uios Soter, Jesus Christ Son of God, Savior. Early Christians used it as a secret symbol. Nowadays it's a bumper sticker or an advertising logo

    Dear bra manufacturers:

    Why are there are now so many bras that are underwire with too much padding? Has it ever occurred to have so much padding, it's just frickin' hot and that underwire is a nusiance? And why are quality bras with support that don't use underwire, are expensive?

    shootingstar - these are not cheap, but I have found them to be absolutely the most comfortable for every-day wear. Wouldn't try to work out in them, but they are great for work and so on:

    And Pooh! They're out of my size. Price is comparable to what I've paid at Victoria's Secret.

    Beth - They are Champion bras - you might be able to find them at http://www.championcatalog.com (google it if that doesn't work). I have found them on sale from champion for about $15 each.....but not very often.

    Good luck! I find them really comfy.

    Dear some of my coworkers: Please know that when at work it truely is not about you but it is about the geriatric population that we work with. If you are cold, please don't open the window...roll your sleaves up or where a short sleave shirt. It is less then 20 out. Also I really don't think they want to hear what you want to hear on the radio. Please stop turning the channel or brining in your own CDs that are not appropriate. Thanks

    Ain't that the truth?? I happen to need underwires, but SHO' don't need no padding!

    I've been in search of a bra to wear with a halter dress on our cruise in a few weeks. I must wear a bra, or have the dress altered to keep 'em above the band--all the bras for that purpose are padded. Can't wear the strap around my neck because it's not long enough! (Can you see me walking around with my chin on my chest? Those babies are really sagging. lol.) One good thing they did was put grippers on the strapless bras! I think I'll be able to keep it up without the strap that way.

    Dear Dad,
    Would you please QUIT forwarding me junk?! I don't share your politics, and the file size often crashes my email program. I realize you think you're being amusing. But really you and the junk you send is(are?) a royal pain in the a$$. Instead of forwarding me crap, with all the forwards attached, why don't you write me a note instead?

    Dear Clavicle,

    Do you mind I expected you to stay put and heal properly. I'm really rather annoyed that you've moved yet again. I'd like to be able to walk down the street & be able to move both arms without the bone scraping against my neck. I want to swim I also want to get back into discovering hunka hunka burnin love again.

    Grrr...you're testing the little patience I have YOu do realize you're messing with the wrong chickie I'm not impressed.

    That goes for you too MCL ligament...

    Anyone have any glue?

    Dear BF's ex,

    When you download my profile pictures from myspace and use Microsoft paint to draw mustaches on me, don't send the doctored photos back to my BF (your ex). I will see them, laugh at you for acting like you're 12 years old, and promptly post them back onto myspace for my friends to see.

    On second thought, keep doing it. It's funny.

    Andrea

    P.S.

    Dear fellow co-worker,

    I know you are extremely excited about your pregnancy. I'm happy for you too, I really am. I know how long you have wanted this. But pregnancy does not mean you have the right to slack off. I'm tired of hearing you talk to everyone in the office for the first 3 hours of your shift every day about what is new with the baby, etc etc etc. Only to be followed by who knows how many personal calls of the same discussion. Now hang up the phone and get back to work. I'm sick of doing all your stuff. Argh!!

    Dear Winter---Go away.

    Dear Boss---Since I passed that incredibly difficult certification exam (without the benefit of the five-day preparation class), do you now understand why I decided to study instead of going to the holiday parties & getting "face" time?
