I managed to swallow the upper ball of my tongue barbell yesterday. Mea culpa. It had been ages since I had tightened it. The only spare barbell I have is one topped by a captive ring, and the bar is a bit too long, so I never wear it. So I had to buy a couple new ones. The rose I got in red; the transparent acrylics I got in blue (and sprung

The blue is awfully pretty. And the rose is cool. I had no idea they even made things like that. I like them way more than the plain metal ones which I find kind of boring.
Everyone is getting me to think I ought to pierce something. I'm feeling left out.
Blue is my favorite color by far (for everything from clothing to furniture). I nearly got the rose in blue, but I'm trying to branch out into other colors, and red seemed to make sense for a rose. I even chose to make my tote bag Spanish Red instead of Navy. (I can hear Barbara now, "Go toward the light!" She wears nothing but red.)
It was about 6 years ago now that I got my tongue pierced. My friend, Kimberly, wanted moral support for her piercing, so I got to thinking I'd always wanted a tongue piercing but had been too petrified. When I told DH of my plans, he thought I was insane and that they looked stupid. (Too bad - he doesn't get a vote or veto on my aesthetic decisions.) He has since changed his mind. :)
Anyhow, my point is that barbells really have come a long way since then. Back then, all you could get was plain steel, colored titanium, or opaque acrylic balls. A few years later, I got this gem (

I have a lot of stretch marks, too, and no kid to show for it! (Having gained over 100 pounds in 3 years and lost it in 3 more years will do that to ya.) They used to be red when I was much larger, but now that I'm just somewhat full-figured, they're very pale white - no pink anymore. You'd have to look closely to see them. But I still wouldn't have it done unless I had a belly I was willing to show off

Well- here's where the not actually Jewish thing works in my favor.
I didn't get my boys circumcised, and don't have any guilt over it. It's funny how of all the laws, that seems to be the one people take most seriously. Of course, one must admit, a big deal is made of it in the Bible, but still. It just seems so uncallled for. Said by someone who wants her nipples pierced. No irony there! Of course, I'm not taking my babies inwhen they are 8 days old and piercing their nipples for them.
Well- I have so many stretch marks on my belly that it looks like a net. They have faded, but the entire skin texture has changed. Hehe- it took me 20 years to gain 100 pounds. Here's hoping it doesn't take me another 20 to lose it. Actually, I don't need to lose 100- I was about 10 underweight 20 years ago, and am old enough now that I really only want to lose about 75. But, I'd settle for 60.
Your thoughts on Janet pretty much equal mine. The whole thing was tacky and degrading, but damn- it looks good.
Oh- forgot to say- I brought it up with Eric, and he didn't seem upset. Although he did laugh when I told him there was a distinct possiblity of it being a one boob kind of thing.
I'd settle for 40 pounds lower than my pre-pregnancy weight. Of course, my mother gained a whopping 70-odd pounds in 9 months with my brother. The OB nurse said I should keep my gain under 35 (there's no danger of my eating too little :p). My mother never did have stretch marks though (how odd
