PRIMARY:  Less than one week go to now.  YAY!  I have purchased feminine protection for the LAST TIME EVAR (unless I pick some up for Trophy Wife).  Do you know how liberating that feels?  But more to the point, I won't have to delete one or two days every cycle from my calendar due to severe bleeding and pain that disrupts my life.  The cyst will

2nd: Suggestion: you can get a ring gently enlarged at a proper jewelry store so you could fit it over your knuckle. Also, while I heavily support the wedding band tattoo, I heard it hurts like nothing else in this world because it's right on the bone on a sensitive place.

I'm considering getting the ring enlarged, but this is a VERY old ring. You almost can't read the "LMD" (my grandfather's initials) that are engraved into the signet. I might get it sized anyway though, and I know a place I'd trust to do it.

And I know the wedding band tattoo would hurt. Some sacrifices are worth making.

The wedding-ring tattoo thing sounds adorable, and I'm sure to you, pain is nothing (or something :D) - and wow, I am so excited for your surgery! *flaily* *hugs*

Your STBB fic is amazing, bb, and whatever way you write the last few scenes, with my advice or not, they'll be just as fantastic. So don't worry - just rock on, and be awesome. (And send me the finished product, y/y? :D)

Ah, religion. My strategy to being forcefed religion is to just ignore it - everyone needs a comfort blanket of some sorts, be it a person, concept, or favourite book, and if someone wants to put their faith in one god or a pantheon, that's up to them. (This is my way of saying that telling "them it's not healthy for adults to cling to fairy tales" is a bad idea, yo. :D) It's obnoxious, yes, but they don't mean any harm. So, live and let live. And ignore. Rant about it here; leave it in RL.

But yes. :D *hearts*

Heee... I can handle the pain. Just want to make sure the tattoo is what I WANT. And yes, excited about the surgery, but mostly just RELIEVED. Waiting is the worst part right now.

Your advice for those last scenes has been extremely valuable. I had been stuck on writing that first bit from Bones' point of view, but the instant I switch back to Jim's, it WORKED. I needed that push. THANK YOU. Of course I'll send you the finished product! Let me finish those scenes, and I'll send it right along.

See, I'm fine if other people want their security/comfort blanket. I just don't want them trying to wrap me in their blanket, or assuming I'm cold because I don't have that blanket, and so on. It gets obnoxious. Live and let live, perhaps, but I'm tired of people just assuming they can do it. :/

Well, I'm sure you'll be able to figure it out. And a week's not too long to wait, is it? I mean, in a week, I'm going to university, and I'm sure I'll be able to fill the time. As will you. SO YES. /ramble

Strange POV choices are my favourite - figuring out different ways to tell a story, or something. (I anticipate that email. Do you know when your posting day is, yet?)

I know, it is irritating. I identify as a kind of wishy-washy Christian (sort of: my concept of religion--or lack of it--is very odd/abnormal), and the whole YOU MUST BE SAVED attitude does irritate me, too. But, mostly, I think people are just trying to help. Unless you're that Terry Jones guy. *RAGE*

Anyhow. :D *hearts*

Mine is an actual blanket :D

What do you folks think?

Honestly? I think it sounds like something you shouldn't be asking about. The only person that should matter to is Jen. You two talk it over and then figure out what YOU wanna do and screw everyone else and what they think.

[mijan]

LOL - in the end, that's absolutely what it will come down to. I'm kinda musing aloud here.

[heidi8]

IMHO, the tattoo idea is lovely but check with your doctor to make sure it wont cause issues when you go into the surgery - when I had my gall bladder out there was a question on the checklist asking if I had had any tattoos ornpiercings in the prior 30days - not sure why, but better to ask beforehand than have an issue then.

[mijan]

Huh - I hadn't even considered that. I shall ask. THANK YOU for pointing that out! I never would have thought of it.

Also, you cannot donate blood for a year after you get a tattoo, if that matters to you.

[mijan]

It does matter, yes, but I've donated recently and would just wait the year. Just... considering it.

[gmonkey42]

I think the wedding band tattoo is a cool idea.

I usually just ignore the religion crap. But it doesn't happen to me very often, I can see how it would be harder to ignore if it happened a lot.

[mijan]

*grins*

The religion crap has just happened several VERY obnoxious times recently, in unexpected places and unexpected circumstances. I'm just tired of it.
