The maternity/nursing bra suggestion is a good one. The kindred bravely bras come in busty sizes. https://www.kindredbravely.com/products/french-terry-nursing-sleep-bra-ivory This one is one of the most comfortable bras I’ve ever had, no underwire. I was 30DDD before pregnancy, no idea now, but I’m wearing the M-busty and it’s great.

My problem with that exact bra is that it seems to show under practically every shirt I own. It’s so high cut on me! Maybe I had the wrong size?

She does it every time she goes to the box. Sometimes it’s at the front, usually it’s at the back. When the box isn’t covered, it’s definitely up and over the side of the box.
I did the same thing when I had linoleum floor, but I have carpet at the moment which is more of a pain to clean.

@diapasoun @Elle @druidessie @Gdogg I made the banana bread with water and it’s delicious. I may also have put in a lot more chocolate chips than the recipe called for 
How are so many of us bra twins? I am also a 32DDD/E. Can vouch for the Kindred Bravely sleep bras—I wore an S-Busty and they were very comfortable.

Oh it probably does show, I could see that for a lot of shirts. I’m still in the “baby needs the boob constantly and I’m rarely in public” stage, so large sweaters over nursing tanks are my current go to haha. I don’t have any t shirts that fit at all.

Do cannoli typically contain egg?

Well I sure hope not because I ate some yesterday!

Yes, cannoli shells usually contain egg. Some cannoli fillings may as well, though the classic ricotta fillings don’t.

Agree, Italian pastas are typically egg based.

Does anyone have suggestions for podcasts on French? And maybe Italian if they are very short… actually I may try a newspodcast in Italian…that is the right duration and I should recognize cues about global events.
But for French I want interesting content. I don’t want to learn vocab or grammar in a teaching way anymore…and I think that’s why I keep quitting my practice

My French has deteriorated almost completely so I don’t have any recommendations, but try something like news/current events? Podcasts were still a pretty new thing when I dropped my conversational skills, but my favorite French course ever was a current events discussion/debate course taught by a visiting professor. I think she even made it full immersion too, zero English allowed. I also used news articles at places like Le Monde to keep my reading skill up before I started letting things lapse after I burned out of grad school.
I think Duolingo has recommended resources like that for each language they do.

How worried should I be about the Wuhan Coronavirus?
On scale from “All good, book that trip to Wuhan” to “Head to our bunker in the hills and wait out the inevitable collapse of society”.

I mean, it’s not great to catch, but you’re not likely to catch it. I would drink hard and then go licking things in Wuhan, but it’s probably fine

Thanks for the suggestion! My French doesn’t need to be simple, I’m looking more towards the francophone crowd for reccomendations like nature, science, murder, health, maybe even money podcasts. Or even just a list.
My stumbling point here is that I’m using an anglophone podcast streaming service, and it doesn’t give an option to sort by langue… So I don’t really know how to start finding them. Even if I search french terms in French, I get Anglo responses. I can read and watch tv in French without problem, but I have more listening hours available.
Even looking for Radio-Canada podcasts (CBC has good ones) I weirdly only get the news as a result…although maybe I can go to the Radio-Canada website for a list of their podcasts…

It seems to be between the flu and a cold in terms of severity, worse if you have shitty lungs or are immuno compromised. I wouldn’t travel to Hubei province unless you’re really into self propelled tourism and want to watch the hospital being built. I’m not sure if I’d do anything if I was traveling. Maybe hand sanitize extra? I don’t think that I masked up for SARs.
I have bullshit pneumonia and bronchitis prone lungs and I’m 36+weeks pregnant. And I have masks at work and under the bed. So I didn’t mask up when I ran errands or went to the OB last week. I’m only masking up around patients who are symptomatic for any respiratory shit.
If I had to go to the walk in or the public parts of the hospital I’ll mask up, and take it off when I get to L&D. I’m not taking public transit right now because I’m being lazy. .but if I was I’d sanitize after, and mask up if I noticed a coughing sneezing mess.

You can listen to RAI online for news radio (I don’t remember which channel, though I’m sure it is way to find out - I am mostly listening to Radio Italia for music right now (there’s no talk except news breaks occasionally and hosts chitchatting), and watching dubbed TV shows).
Duolingo has (officially) a Spanish and a French podcast, I think that’s it, and I don’t know how good. (At least, I think they are podcasts.) But if you dig around the forums you can find recommendations from actual human beings for other things, which in my experience has been more helpful than Duolingo official stuff. I know there are Italian ones people have mentioned but I am not using them right now since I have other stuff to occupy my time.

Also, If you have Netflix, there are documentaries and nature/technology shows that have French dubs, if you want to watch or quasi-watch (I sometimes watch stuff like that only with half my attention).

Oooh. Radio Italia for music could be good. My Italian is shit, but that plus a ten minute news would be perfect! The talking between songs is valuable
