Re: Astoria/LIC lovers!

has anyone else tried that new place on 31st street between ditmars and 21st ave,its called Mojave. The place looks real nice , nice atmosphere. Dh had went first with friends and said how awesome it was. We went together another time and it was ok not great but they give you these dipping sauces with certain meals and i seriously got so sick, they were so heavy. I was sick for 2 days. Everyone else loves it though lol. But certain foods can get me sick like that.

I love hot sandwiches. If you can't toast it I am not eating it. Even with sandwich king when I get home I put it to toast before I can eat it.

yeah plus places that dont toast them dont make certain sandwiches. I LOVE cuban sandwiches, and sandwich king doesnt even make them. So when i found out ROma deli does i started going there.

i did, i had to wear it this past saturday. I took pics of other stuff but not of me but here it is on a site. The problem was no size was fitting me right hahaha. Whatever fit my waist didnt fit me on top, whatever fit me on top was too big around my waist, no matter what size i tried on none fit me. So this was a little bit big on me

i dont think ive ever been a size 2 i was a 4-6 but after this weekend i had to try on dresses that were 10-12. The 10 wouldnt fit around my chest, im a 36D when im a size 4 so now theyre even bigger and its a mess to find anything in my size. The 12 were too big but they were the only dresses that would fit my chest

Re: Astoria/LIC lovers!

Last time I saw you, you looked really small! I WISH WISH WISH when I gained weight at least SOME of it would go to my boobs! For Gods sake, it all goes to my thighs and a$$. Nowhere on my upper body. I wish there was a way to redirect my fat
