Croque Madame - what a delightful tale! Thanks for putting smiles on our faces this morning.
Budman - I was totally impressed with the wino stretched out on Church steps in Nice drinking from a wineglass. We wanted to take a picture of the wino with class. Now I know the more appropriate term is "wineaux".
Today is truly off to a good start - I've been both amused and informed. It can only get better!

suze and gracieb: delighted that you enjoyed my story!
Actually, I didn't mean to depict my situation to have been quite as dismal as it sounds. There were some advantages.
For one thing, I was virtually drown-proof. The natural bouyancy of my built-in floatation device wouldn't allow me to sink even if I tried.
Also, any croissant flakes that broke off en route to my mouth always landed on a convenient shelf for handy collection.
More importantly, though, I hope my story might help others burdened with overabundance to consider the possibility of relief.
Despite diligent shopping, I never could find a bra that fit properly. So, somewhere in this small city where I live, there is a homeless woman who benefited from the stack of nearly new, very expensive bra's that I donated to the local shelter.
I've got my eye out for the likely recipient of the bra bonanza. She'll be easy to spot. I'm saving an especially sympathetic smile for her.

Oh, Croque M., you had me laughing so hard! How brave and sensible of you--I bet your back thanks you every day.
Although I have to admit that the thought entered my mind--"damn! she would have been a good person to sit next to if the plane had to make an emergency landing on water."

Elle, Elle, Elle! What a rat you are!
Let me assure you that, if we were seated together on a plane that had to make an emergency landing, you would die stone deaf 'cause I'd be screeching all the way down!
Also, I have to be honest and admit that when I gave those bra's away, it was because I wanted them gone, out of my house with all their negative associations.
But a friend (and much less wicked woman than you or I) recently told me about her experiences in arranging donations of clothing to battered women. I belatedly realized that while I may have hated those bra's, someone else probably needed them badly. Changed my whole perspective.
(BTW, in that last post, I now realize I misspelled "flotation". If Ira the Spelling King has been lurking on this ladies only post, it must have pained him to pass that one by. Sorry, Ira!)

Dear C Madame
I smile to think of those ladies out there somewhere, after years of squeezing into bras that were much less capable of holding what they were supposed to hold, are now happy as a result of your kindness~
