Subject: Lu's thoughtzzzzzzzzz on.....

BODY PIERCING.

I'm sorry folks but I just MUST spew over this! LOL! I am so tired of going to some store or something, walk up to the clerk and I'M NOT KIDDING... nearly GAG when I see these... THINGS sticking out of their noses, eyebrows, lips, tongues, etc. etc. etc. Is it that they have some sort of neuralogical problem???? Were they TRYING to put on a pair of earings and "WHOOPS! Oh MAN! MISSED AGAIN! Dang that hurts! Ow! Ow! Ow!" Honest to goodness I went into Dominos the other day to order pizza and I really TRULY nearly GAGGED at the clerk. Can you IMAGINE some woman walks in, takes a look at you and.. GAGS??? SOmeone explain to me why WHY anyone would do this. It DOES NOT LOOK GOOD. I mean... The pearl thing in the nose... forgive me but.. It looks like a BOOGER. Well.. it DOES. WHAT are they THINKING? This girl had some sort of spike thing sticking out of her upper lip and YES.. it looked like well... the above. It GROSSED ME OUT. I couldn't LOOK at her. I wanted to ask for someone else to WAIT on me. I'm not making this up or exagerating. And she was very nice, and polite.. and.. I couldn't even make EYE contact w/ her because if I looked her in the eye, I'd see her lip. ANd if I saw her lip w/ that THING that looked like it was sliding into her MOUTh... EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!

O.k. I'm going to beddy now. I look forward to everyone's comment and hope I didn't ruin anyone's dinner. I just thought I'd share! LOLOLOLOL!!!!!!

[> Can't say I've ever thought about body piercing in quite the way you describe it, Lu. I will, now however, have a completely different outlook on it. I have, on occassion, wondered if these people made a conscious decision to do this or were they delusional (as in, wasted) at the time. I have also wonder how daily functions(eating w/ tongue thingy) are accomplished. But, since I can't seem to get past how much pain is involved in getting things other than an ear pierced, I personally, shall never find out. -- Texasbrat who's ears are double pierced but have closed due to 3 pregnancies., 19:48:08 01/19/06 Thu [1]

[> [> LOL! Hi, Tex. I was a bit wound up last night it seems. LOL! But I still stand by my post. In a word, "Yuk!" and no, I don't get it. ANd yes.. I can imagine it would hurt like heck! Yeee! -- Luoodles struggling to take care of my mom. I"d appreciate your prayers. She's got pneumonia and is not doing well., 23:56:42 01/19/06 Thu [1]

[> [> [> I'll put your mom in my prayers if you put my mom-in-law in yours, she had pneumonia too, doing a bit better after the thick head went to the doc. Imagine that, the doc can give you meds to make you feel better. Geez, and they fuss at us when we don't run to the doc with our kids. Go figure. -- Texasbrat, 06:56:29 01/20/06 Fri [1]

How is your MIL doing? How long did it take her to begin feeling better???? Mine told me she had a sore throat Tuesday night (she's here visiting). THursday I took her to my doc and she had pheumonia!!! THey nearly put her in the hospital then and there but decided to try to let her go home w/ me. SIX prescriptions and $500 later we were home but... Oh what a night. She seems a BIT better. She's resting o.k. now and I'm taking a break. ALL of my children are now sick also and I'm getting it too. That coupled w/ my trips to and from the hospital for myself and... can you say STRESS!!!??? LOL! Oh my. This morning I was so sleep deprived I screwed up her meds. FORTUNATELY it was no big deal but... Oy. Anyway, I'd appreciate all the prayers I can get and will CERTAINLY remember your mil.

[> [> BTw, what's the connection w/ pregnancy and your ear pierce closing? Mine closed up too... Huh. Interesting. -- Luoodles I just thought I hadn't worn my earings enough...., 23:58:27 01/19/06 Thu [1]

[> [> [> Hormones I would guess. I couldn't wear my earrings cuz my ears would turn beet red within an hour & they would start itching horribly. So, I had to quit wearing them. I figured they closed for lack of use, too. I have to watch my daughter cuz her's will close if she doesn't keep earrings in them. -- Texasbrat, 06:52:48 01/20/06 Fri [1]

[> Hey, Lu! Is this a new nightly column you are writing? LOL! Well I can't say I've given quite that much thought myself, but no I would never ever think about getting a hole put in my nose or eyebrow or tongue intentionally. The most daring thing I had done was my cartilage pierced. That was just an impulse to do something that no one thought I'd ever do, but that's as far as it'd go. I've got three piercings and I'm happy with that. I would think those who have "odd piercings" would get a lot more infections too. -- Sara, 15:31:01 01/20/06 Fri [1]

[> [> LOL!!! I do seem to be spouting off a lot lately, huh? Oh well. Let's see... what can I talk about TONIGHT? How about... ummmm..... hmmm... Actually I can't think of a THING to grump about! LOL! Would you like me to talk about my chickens??? I'm always happy to talk about my chickens. Did you know I'm getting some new peeps in a few days? Yes I am! I was HOPING to get some Red Dorkings... but... alas they only had Silver. I'm also getting some Buff Silkies!!! Woo Hoo! LOL! -- Luoodles went to the animal fair... the birds and the beasts were there.... and she brought them all home w/ her.... ~cough~, 22:44:39 01/20/06 Fri [1]

[> And then..voy closed down..Now doubt some multi-pierced vo havy manager closed it.. Just kidding. Many of my patients have multi body piecings on parts you never dreamed could be pierced. They say it is a bit addictive as are tatoos. I ignore them in my patients, but clerks at a food service would be a bit harder to ignore. -- PB, 14:30:04 01/23/06 Mon [1]

[> Part of me wants to say that if you say body piercing is bad, then the ears are in there too--but you know--not really! Ears aren't USED for ANYTHING! Oh, yes, my ear got in the way of my fork today as I was eating a salad.....NO. I think fashion is a personal choice, but there are still some things that are considered professional and some things that are not. Multiple piercings in non-traditional areas are on the NOT list--I am always so surprised when I see folks in customer service with extra holes and doo-dads stuck in them, because I think there should be a better company policy about it. Going to the beach? On vacation? Fine. Working? Take IT OUT! -- C, 19:45:40 01/23/06 Mon [1]

[> [> [> Curious question, here --- What makes you so sure "it's" a HE ? It could be a SHE & considered THE most beautiful, vivacious, woman since sliced bread for someone, somewhere. Are you sure they were trying to get into Guiness, I was thinking National Geographic. -- Texasbrat, 10:29:18 01/30/06 Mon [1]

[> I wouldn't dream of getting piercings like that myself, but it doesn't really bother me much. I may think someone has bad fashion sense, especially since only about 1 in 50 piercings actually suits the person who has it, but *shrug*. To each their own. The way you feel about piercings is how I feel about swimwear these days. It's bad enough on people who have the body to pull it off, but when people who obviously do NOT are wearing stuff like that, it kind of makes me want to gag too. -- Canrane - One of the few times I consider it a blessing that I'm pretty much blind without my glasses on :), 12:15:28 01/28/06 Sat [1]

[> [> LOL I'm of two minds when it comes to swimwear on others (since I rarely go out in public with a swimsuit on). 1) I'm happy that people have such a positive self-image that they think they look good in some of the suits they wear. BUT .... 2) I wish they wouldn't subject the rest of us to what they wear. ::shuddering;: -- KatRose, 02:04:45 01/29/06 Sun [1]

[> [> [> [> Well... I've got one for you. My fams been sick for the last couple of week PLUS my mom.. then "I" got sick and well.... I'VE SORT OF LET MYSELF GO. LOLOL!!! My good friend came over and I was wearing this faded cotton dress and a pair of knee his. Oh yes... the mental picture. ANYWAY, she wanted me to ride a long w/ her somewhere (no place where I'd have to get out of the CAR mind you, and then she'd bring me back. I would just be riding shotgun providing company/chat/etc. Oh gee.. out of space. C! -- Luoodles who was just WAITING to have something happen to require me to leave that vehicle and then DIE of embarrassment!, 19:01:23 01/31/06 Tue [1]

[> [> [> [> [> COntinued from above because C won't allow enough SPACE! ~cough~ Anyway....It sounded good to me to get out of the house. My youngest son ended up having to come with us. ANYWAY, we're driving down the road and I'm saying ARE YOU SURE I DON'T HAVE TO GET OUT OF THIS CAR???? And my son says, "Yeah, Mama. 'Cause you're still wearing your JAMMIES!" (Well.. I wasn't but apparently LOOKED to him like I was. I've since been dressing a bit better! LOL! -- Luoodles, 19:02:33 01/31/06 Tue [1]

[> [> [> [> LOL! ITA about modern "fashion" these days, Texasbrat. Finding a pair of jeans in which I will NOT be mooning the world is becoming quite a challenge! -- Canrane - LOL @ Lu's story. Oh how the tables of turned, eh? Being told not to run around in your jammies by your *kids* LOL!, 19:18:32 02/05/06 Sun [1]
