Who out there has a cartilage piercing?

Oooh! Pick me! Pick me! I've only one left though. And regular old piercing boutiques. You've got to go with stainless steel or silver though.

Any particular reason?

Just curious. GG pretty much refuses to wear any jewelry that isn't her cartilage ring, so it popped into my head as something I could learn about.

Is there a standard gauge for cartilage piercings? All my current piercing knowledge is based on tongue rings.

Not as far as I'm aware, but I've had the same one for years. But, no, thinking of my friends with lots of piercings - there's a lot of variation.

Doing laundry (blanket, date clothes) and the arsnfraggin washer is FUBAR; pulled my clothes out sopping fucking wet.

When I went down there, a neighbor was there and told me "That washer isn't working very well." To which I replied, "Neither of them clean very well."

D'ya think she could have said "It's not fucking SPINNING?"

ouch running from the painful notion of piercings ouch

Kinda happy my generation didn't do the piercings and tattoos so much because I am afraid of the needles. Ouch.

vw, that's gorgeous!

Thank you!

vw, I forgot to tell you--I made my massage appointment. I go in on Tuesday! I have lost 15 pounds (well, 14) and it's my reward and I'm very excited. Thanks for giving me the inspiration!

YAY!

UGH! How frustrating!

Because I seem (I first spelled seam! Ha!) to only be able to talk about one thing right now…I’m home from my little trip to the quilt shop. I got a lovely black flannel fabric for the back of my quilt, the batting, and the necessary thread. The women at the shop loved the quilt top and were so surprised I was done with it already! Go me! Also, I spent a little more on backing fabric than I normally would, because I went with the soft flannel, so I must not think it’s unworthy after all :)

It doesn't hurt like a needle.

After sending off the lovely EllenS, who come over for a sleepover after a day yesterday wandering the streets of Salem, going to the Peabody Essex Museum, and then watching Veronica Mars, today was spent doing reading for tomorrow night's class (which I finished) and listening to my mom's cousin's 2 20-something sons clean out our asphalt and tar clogged gutters who REFUSED TO TAKE ANY MONEY FOR IT.

I am scheming to figure out a nice gift for them.

Tom is cooking and doing laundry (vw-we're doing the beef skewers with the peanut sauce!)

YUM!

That reminds me, I need to schedule our Phase 2 dinner! Must chat with Emily and find a good date.

Oh, also, I finished my reading for class while on the train today. So, I was all multi-purpose and stuff!

It doesn't hurt like a needle.

I'm too spooked by it to ever find this out. (I do have 2 holes in each ear, but in the soft lobe part) No tattoos.
