The shape of things to come...

I've been hiding - I know, I know.
And I'm sorry - an apology to my faithful readers.
I have been quite exhausted as of late - I think my fybromyalgia is flaring up big time. It usually "flares up" after periods of stress. Mom started the whole chemo thing at the end of April - I guess that makes sense according to the timeline.

It's pretty bad - but I'm seeing my rheumatologist next month, so that gives me some hope...

mom and I went wig shopping the other day - it was actually quite fun. I tried on the wigs that didn't suit her - we agreed that the hairnet was something that suited us best.

She is thinking of shaving off her hair instead of watching it fall out in peices and clumps.

What a fuken cool and amazing woman.

I wish I had half of her courage...

I will be back, after the sweltering heat dies down, once my achy bones heal, and once I get things back on track - but in the meantime - for your entertainment pleasure, a little snippet in keeping with these writings...

Expert uses breast size to shape body character analysis

Looking at a woman's bosom is the best way of keeping abreast of her character, self-professed breast expert Dr. Mitsugu Shiga tells Shukan Josei (11/22).
Ignoring his many skeptical knockers, Shiga claims that the size and shape of a woman's breasts define the type of person she is.

"Boobs tell you about a woman's character," Shiga tells Shukan Josei.
Shiga claims to have refined theories about character traits and body shape that were first defined by 20th century German psychiatrist Ernst Kretschmer, who argued that particular body types influenced mental states.

Shiga's says that taking the German psychiatrist's theories further by studying the influence of estrogen distribution has allowed him to work out how the size and shape of a woman's breasts is also an indication of the type of person she is.

He claims that breast size is a fair indication of the degree of female hormones the body produces and, after having worked out what sort of character a woman has, he can also devise her attitudes toward sex.

Shiga's Method is fairly complicated. Shukan Josei provides dozens of diagrams to show how he works it out. Basically, it involves calculating the distance from the base of the throat to the tip of the nipples, which becomes distance "A." Distance "B" is the length between the tips of the nipples of both breasts, while Distance "C" is the space from the center of the navel to the point of the breasts. Depth of the breast also apparently plays a role, with roundness, perkiness and sagging bosoms.

Though Shiga's diagnoses may be filled with boobies, Shukan Josei gives a broad outline of the four main ways breasts can apparently reveal a woman's character.

* Women whose Distance A is longer than their Distance B and Distance C

These gals are usually of regular build and are the most common in Japan. They are basically obedient and often viewed by men as the ideal wife, the women's weekly says. They are sturdy types usually good for child bearing.

* Women whose Distance A and Distance C are both shorter than Distance B

Tall, slender women. Many are naive, nervy and spoiled. They yearn for love and smother those who give it, occasionally making them difficult to be around at times.

* Women whose Distance B is shorter than their Distance A and Distance C

Slightly pudgy types with bulkier breasts. They are generally easy going romanticists. However, they also have a dark side, easily becoming emotional. Often, these women have lots of children.

* Women whose Distance A and Distance B are about the same, but both less than Distance C

These are women with modelesque figures centering on long torsos. They have plenty of male hormones working inside them, which makes them more muscular and taller than other women. Shukan Josei says they're can be a little harsh, but they are naturally independent and do anything and everything for themselves.
