We do not care that our stitches came out yesterday and that the skin had grown over them. Didn't hurt a bit. 😅 We also do not care that our doctor admonished us for taking off our sling too early. We told him the padding was really uncomfortable. He then told us that it was removable. We then felt like an idiot--thought we didn't care that much! Honestly. Now, one more week in the sling until PT. 💪🏻

LiseWorks Sometimes dr can be dorks 😁 3h

Amiable Getting stitches removed is often worse than the surgery! It always makes me squeamish and woozy. 😖 3h

lil1inblue The stitches part gave me spine shivers just a little bit! But I don't care because I'm glad you're progressing on your healing path! 😅 💓 💓 3h

#WDNCW

We do not care that our older sister has insisted that we need a bra for our upcoming niece's wedding. We don't care that she has measured us and gone bra shopping for us because we refused to. We HATE bras. We don't care if our boobs one day lie on the ground. They're happy being free, and so are we.
P.S. We will wear a bra to the wedding, but we won't be happy about it.

lil1inblue The last time I wore a real bra was for my sister's wedding. It was hot & horrible. I snuck in the bathroom and took it off during the reception. 😂 😂 😂 #freetheboobies 3w

TheBookHippie OMG 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 3w

kelli7990 I don‘t like bras either. I don‘t wear one when I‘m at home. I only wear one when I go outside and put snacks for the birds and squirrels in the front yard. One time when I didn‘t have one on, a guy in a truck drove by my house really slowly and stopped to look at me and I worried that he was looking at me because he saw that I wasn‘t wearing a bra but then after he decided he saw enough of me then he drove on by. 3w

TheBookHippie @dabbe I‘d take out small countries if I went braless but more power to you! 3w

Amiable She actually “measured” you?? OMG, I have a mental image of your sister chasing you down and wrestling you to the ground to wrap your chest with a measuring tape. 😄 (edited) 3w

dabbe @TheBookHippie 😂😍😂 3w

dabbe @Amiable You wouldn't be far off. One our sisters' vacay, she brought a tape measure “just in case“ and got me measured after I'd had a couple of cosmos. Seriously. 😂😍😂 3w

Amiable @dabbe 😂😂 3w

Eggbeater I refuse to wear one in the house or in my own backyard. They are torture devices invented by men. If my neighbors don't like it, they can look elsewhere! 3w

mcctrish I have recently gone on a big bra shop, ordering and trying on a bunch from many different stores. I have settled on 2 styles from Aerie that legit feel like I‘m wearing next to nothing - have basically no support but sort of corral things. It‘s a new day 3w

AprilMae The joys of working from home means there's maybe 1 day a week I have to wear a bra and 9/10 it's a sports bra or lounge bra so no underwire lol. That only happens for special occasions hahaha 3w

dabbe @AprilMae Yay for that! 💛🤎🧡 3w

#ThreeListThursday #TLT @dabbe
I couldn't do it anymore. Sorry, 1001 BOOKS YOU MUST READ BEFORE YOU DIE ... be gone and out of our lives! Ahem. If you'd like to see that entire list, here's the link: https://shorturl.at/6nuMm.

Now, more fun! A summer movie list! All the particulars are given at the survey site. Particulars are below. ⬇️
Survey link: https://www.listchallenges.com/biggest-summer-movies-by-gross-1975-2024

dabbe Particulars:
1. Share your score if you'd like.
2. Share your 3 favorites from the list or 3 that you might be interested in reading, or 3 you thought were horrible or a combo of whatever you'd like.
3. Tag if you want.

EVERYONE is tagged; ALL are welcome. 🤗 2mo

Bookwormjillk Talk to me Goose. I got 61%. I love Jaws and Apollo 13 and I had no idea there were so many Jurassic Park movies. Maybe that will be my summer project. 2mo

dabbe @Bookwormjillk Now THAT's a project I can wrap my head around! Excellent score! 👏🏻👏🏻Thanks for playing and sharing. 🍿♥️🍿 2mo

Librarybelle 45 for me, and I‘m shocked by that! I like so many on the list including Sleepless in Seattle, Barbie, and Mamma Mia (because it‘s just fun to sing along to ABBA). 2mo

RaeLovesToRead Noooo we haven't got to the books on 1001 that I HAVE read yet hahaha 😵😵‍💫 2mo

RaeLovesToRead I've seen 40 of these, but there are a load on this list that I'm embarrassed to never have seen haha 2mo

ImperfectCJ 82/100 for me, although I can't say that I liked most of them. Recently re-watched Poltergeist, and that was pretty fun. 2mo

Read4life I‘d say I‘m sorry we didn‘t finish the 1001 list… but I‘m NOT! #sorrynotsorry 2mo

dabbe @Librarybelle I hope in a good way! 🤩 Thanks for playing and sharing. ♥️🍿💛 2mo

dabbe @RaeLovesToRead I think that ship has sailed for most of us! I did give you the link to the rest of the books! 😍 2mo

dabbe @RaeLovesToRead Well, it's summer, so get watchin'! 😂 Thanks for playing and sharing. ♥️🍿💛 2mo

dabbe @Avanders #yahooyou! Thanks for playing and sharing. ♥️🍿💛 2mo

kspenmoll 37% for me. 2mo

dabbe @kspenmoll Yay you! Did you have a favorite? Thanks for playing and sharing. ♥️🍿💛 2mo

Amor4Libros 54%!!! 🙌🏽 2mo

shortsarahrose 52, but more impressive (for me) is the streak I had of always seeing the top movie of the year from 2001-2019 (only missed 2 in that period - the Transformers one and Despicable Me 2) 2mo

shortsarahrose I did look at the rest of the 1001 books list. I had read 5 (well, 4.5 - Color Purple is in progress) from the remaining titles and probably have twice that on my TBR. 2mo

dabbe @Amor4Libros #yahooyou! 👏🏻👏🏻 Thanks for playing and sharing. ♥️🍿💛 2mo

dabbe @shortsarahrose How cool is that? #bravo 👏🏻👏🏻 Thanks for playing and sharing. ♥️🍿💛 2mo

dabbe @shortsarahrose That list totally burned my butt! Glad you looked at it; I didn't have the heart. 😂 2mo

willaful 52 for me. I love Toy Story 3, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Inside Out. 2mo

dabbe @melissajayne Thanks for playing and sharing. ♥️🍿💛 2mo

TheLudicReader 73. I saw Grease about 20 times the summer it came out. 2mo

dabbe @TheLudicReader I got a 73, too! #surprisesurprise And we've written about GREASE to each other. The summer of 1978 ... I think that was the only movie I saw and kept going to see. I word out my record soundtrack! 2mo

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick I got 73, too! I've never actually watched When Harry Met Sally or The Lion King. 😱 Shocking, I know. There are a few that I may have seen but don't remember. Lots of favorites here: Armageddon, A League of Their Own, Shrek movies, Finding Nemo, and some good Marvel & HP movies. Thanks for the 1001 List. Though my numbers were low, it was neat to see what was listed. Perhaps I'll add a few more to my TBR. I think hitting 10% would be great! 2mo

dabbe @Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick 10% would be phenomenal with that list! And forgive me for shouting at you: YOU MUST WATCH WHEN HARRY MET SALLY IN THE AUTUMN. Just trust me. 😍 Thanks for playing and sharing. 💚💙💚 2mo

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick OK, noted to watch in autumn. I just never really cared much for Billy Crystal & the idea of him as the romantic lead wasn't appealing. 2mo

dabbe @Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick Totally get it! They are so cute together, though! 2mo

#5JoysFriday @debinhawaii

Thanks for the tag, @peaKnit! 😘

1. My cardiologist actually told me she was proud of me and that I didn't have to see her for another year (rather than 6 months).
2. Weather highs in the low 60s and actually being able to use the jacuzzi to get warm.
3. Being completely spoiled by @julieclair for the #littlechristmasswap.
4. Matt. Always. 🩶🖤🩶
