So I'll order an appetizer or two and a salad and maybe a dessert when eating out. <br />Twitter has its uses. Depends on who you follow. It needs some curating.

It's a personal choice and must be heartbreaking either way.<br />I'm not a fan of tattoos on women, but I've seen many cases where women have had artwork tattooed on their chest to cover the scars, and if done well this often looks better than surgically reconstructed breasts.<br />Terrible thing to go through for any woman, however she chooses to deal with the aftermath.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3467242994126386706.post-68038095048646257672017-01-22T08:47:31.067+00:002017-01-22T08:47:31.067+00:00I recently read about a group of women who are dec...I recently read about a group of women who are declining breast implants after mastectomies.
