so tired of ....

I think the people who say they're going to do it no matter what have really just convinced themselves that bad things won't happen to them. It's like crazy drivers who weave in and out of lanes and pull out in front of people because they think they're great drivers and won't get in an accident... then one day they do.

Completely unrelated but how was the healing process for the abdominal surgeries? I'm having a laproscopy or something like that. It's gonna be a small incision near my belly button. Ever had anything like that?

What are you having done? I had to have a section of intestines taken out (Chrohn's disease is a bitch) and I had three small incisions plus on bigger one for them to pull stuff out of. I felt pretty good after a week or so, but still had to wait 6 weeks until I could do anything really intense, like running or lifting weights. Hope it all goes well for you!

Thanks dude. Basically they're cutting me open and putting a camera in my stomach to look at my uterus and other areas. They think I have endometrious.

Endometriosis?? Oh, girl, I am so sorry :/ Do you know what course of treatment they're going to take if you do have it?

I disagree with this... people who stretch too fast or skip sizes aren't always stupid, they're just misinformed. We've all been misinformed about a lot of things. They're not bad people just because they stretch badly and I would never wish messed up lobes on anyone.

Not only that, but promoting healthy, safe stretching we promote a better reputation for stretched ears. If people see a bunch of blown-out, wrinkly, smelly lobes all the time they're going to think all stretched lobes are gross like that and they'll be less accepting. I would rather live in a world of healthy lobes.

I personally like the "I went (insert warp speed stretching time here) and nothing bad happened except my ear blew out/is super thin now/ulcerated, then necrotized and I had to have it amputated/some other bad badness." Nothing bad, eh?

It's a sign, to me, that the person doesn't care what they look like or whether or not they are making good choices. It strikes a chord of carelessness and negligence. It's hard to sway someone who has already justified bad choices to themselves. I applaud those who run into difficulty and decide they are doing something they need to change. THAT is the winning direction, IMHO. : )

Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good... How is the circulation in your lobes? how is the thickness?

[chevymane]

i massage each lobe at least 15 minutes a day minimum so i have no thinning whatsoever and im assuming my circulation is good since i have no discoloration...holey butt'r and jojoba oil are my massaging oils of choice
