maybe I'm just cheap
There's a belt I really want that costs $80. They don't have it in my size, though. So I don't have to confront my willingness to spend that much on such a small item (it's a metal chain belt with enameled flowers for part of it--it's very pretty).
Dept. of totally random: This morning my boss saw a teenage patient who had lots of piercings all over his face and one on his back. I'm completely mystified, and afraid to image Google. Where exactly does one pierce one's back? On purpose?
Still, I have some fuel for poking around eBay. You and Betsy are annoying like that.
I prefer to think of it as helpful. Or enabling.

I can't picture it -- backs are too flat to pierce! (Also, how do you lie down without it poking you? Wouldn't that be incredibly annoying to sleep with?)
[eta: And um, Google Imaging this is not worksafe. As I now know.]
You can pierce any flesh, really.
Where exactly does one pierce one's back?
Typically, down either side of your spine. But, could be all over, too.
(sure to be an x-post)
Was the kid paralysed?
Nope.
I just had to Google (for spellchecking) another body part that he had pierced and got a mild shock (though at least I spelled it right) -- I thought it was the little cupid's-bow at the upper lip, but it turned out to be at the other end of the body. For future reference, frenulum!=philtrum.
