5 In my case, like Topsy,they just growed (and growed to a respectable UK 38B which I'm happy with, probably due to my having been born with the intersex condition, PAIS) but I know some people either want more of their boobies (or no boobies at all) so this doesn't surprise me.

#7: I don't believe you! I think you'd need at least three separate alternate realities for all those posters to be meaningful.

and of course, the Disney seems maybe to be heading so that you would ONLY be able to get their content on streaming, no more DVDs or BluRays to buy (you posted a link that that is what they seem to be trying in Australia).

I buy DVDs / bluRays and rip them for convenience. But there are many things I miss from Netflix (gave it up) that just arent available :-(.
