I used to have seven holes. One closed up in high school, and the remaining six were active as of five or so years ago, but I'm not sure if I can get the upper pair open now, the middle pair maybe if I'm lucky, and I know the bottom pair is open, but earrings make them angry sometimes.
I wear diamonds. But almost exclusively in vintage rings. I used to wear garnets all the time. Not sure why I don't wear 'em as much now.
I am so sorry, Libkitty--how awful for the whole family. I hope you can get through it okay, and gain some strength from the family at the wedding.
I have 6 piercings in one ear and 3 in the other. Since I started karate and had to take them out for each session, I have stopped wearing anything but in the bottom holes.
After all the talk here, I stopped by my jewelry store today and talked with the jeweler about resetting my diamonds into a white gold ring. My "divorce ring" will cost me about $500, but I'm going to wait until after the 1st of the year to have it done.
Libkitty, I don't know if you'll see this, but I'm wishing you lots if strength and ~ma.
There are always ice baths.
Good avenue to practice your profanity.
Gods yes. Closest I've ever gotten to an ice bath was ice buckets for shin splints in high school, and I remember the sheer agony when smartasses would walk by and kick my bucket. Can't even fathom a bath.
Off to bed with me. Night, y'all.
It was mskat's suggestion, and I swear the ice baths shortened my recovery time during krav instructor training. I bought two huge bags of ice three nights in a row and dumped them into cold water and then lowered myself into it.
Good god. Oh, the swearing, the cursing.
Coming out of it, though, I was preternaturally warm.
Don't runners sit in ice baths after marathons?
It makes perfect sense, though it also sounds crazy.
I swear the ice baths shortened my recovery time during krav instructor training.
Wasn't that during the LA F2F? (I remember being so glad you could make it to the Prom, so I think you had something going on, and I think it was krav instructor training.)
listing things on ebay lalalala. Realized that these are possible Christmas gifts so need to get them up asap.
I have trouble wearing jewlry that I cannot wear constantly
This is me. I wear my wedding ring (when I'm not pregnant and swollen knuckley), small diamond studs my parents gave me in my ears, and my Cartier Love bracelet all the time and that's about it. I'm not good about switching out jewelry.
