Deborah, when I was 17 I wanted a tattoo so badly that I used a needle to "draw" one on my ankle when my parents didn''t give me permission to get a real one. My father was so horrified that he accompanied me to the tattoo parlor and helped me choose the design. Then he told me that I am free to do everything I want with myself and my life, as long as I think it over carefully and reasonably. I still think that was one of his best decisions as a father. My teen riot was over because I realized I have nothing to rise against anymore, that my parents are my friends, not my enemies.Date: 2/27/2009 3:53:28 PM

Then God bless you. There is no more to be said except that you are a better mother than I am. I have done everything I could to mother my child appropriately, but she still pierced her own nose.

. I did not have pierced ears at all for most of my life! My mother had told me that girls of a certain ethnic group that was then looked down upon had pierced ears when I was growing up and I never got over the idea that it looked vulgar! Even when all my friends had pierced ears in the 1960's and 1970's, I couldn't bring myself to do it. It just didn't seem ladylike!!!.
I am glad that you brought up our shared tastes yet again, Holly, because it gives me an opportunity to say something I have been wanting to say!
See...that''s the problem. That was a joke, too. That''s my sense of humor. I have a dry sense of humor. I assume people get it. Then they don''t. I am going to have to take some responsibility for that. You were not the only one affected, Holly

Can I join the group hug? I only have one set of ear piercings.
I pierced my nose too, also with a sewing needle, when I was 15. My mom cried when she saw it- I thought she was used to my shenanigans by then, but I guess not! I felt a bit bad about it, but I still left it in for a few months. (I was very lucky mom didn''t inspect the rest of me for illicit self inflicted piercings I guess!)Date: 2/27/2009 3:53:28 PM

Join us, diamondseeker! We might be older, and prudier, and prunier, but we're still interesting and fun!

Heck, at least it seemed out of character to you! That''s a point in my favor! I can''t expect all of Pricescope to have seen the postings exchanged between Holly and me. Only those who have been closely reading the threads in Jewelry Pieces would know of our growing friendship and see how much bantering we have been doing. [Not to mention my gracious invitaion to her to come to my home during summer vacation

AGBF, I''m so glad you explained. I thought you were really going after Holly and it seemed so out of character. I didn''t realize at all that you were only teasing her*PP slaps forehead
.
. Unless I start a new thread (which perhaps I will), I don''t know where to post new pictures I have of beautiful crosses. In which thread were we posting those? I do not even know to whom I should address my question. I just know that you, Holly, and you, Sharon, were among the posters involved in the cross discussion.
