Sea salt vs. table salt

Should i start to use smilies?

Or does everyone know how serious I am?

Synthetic salt is the bomb. You can make your own, at home, with fairly common chemicals and equipment. Why ingest sodium that has been peed on by fish?
Why tolerate chlorine that may have been involved in impure biology?

Salt should be free of clumsy feelings and history. It should be incredibly expensive.
It should be cleaned with magnets and blessed by yogis and stuff.
 
Pathology looked at the tragus
(This was after the taggus and baggus)
Said the doc to his nurse,
"My memory's the worst"
"Does left-side mean pirate or faggus?"
 
:boggled: I never understood why people would do that sort of thing to themselves.

Serve them the most expensive salt you can find. They're your grandchildren, for heaven's sake!

heh, heh... You all know that the expensive Himalayan Pink salt got its color from a type of salt loving bacteria?

I've wondered if the pierced people are pre-empting the inevitable injuries of life, and having control of the circumstances? I find it bizarre, yet I see it is a rather timeless and universal phenomena. Spiritual people are prone to hanging from fish hooks and pulling heavy loads by ropes and piercing hooks.

I'd like to have nostril extension surgery, so that I could inhale at the top of my head. It would be sweet for swimming, and look cool too. So I guess I shouldn't call anyone a weirdo.

Weirdo.
 
I can't speak for all people who are pierced. For me, there is no underlying emotional reason for doing it. I like the way it looks. This is probably the last one I'll get as my ear is starting to look more and more like a pin cushion.

Plus, I'm a weirdo.

Some people are merely already accustomed to the inevitable injuries of life, which could easily put piercings and other voluntary discomforts into perspective. And no young person I know, no matter how body-modified, can hold a pain threshold candle to some of the elderly people I know: "Honey, this large gaping wound from my last pacemaker surgery isn't healing; do you think I should see the doctor?"

Two days ago I burned myself reaching into a hot oven, making a toasted sandwich. I manage to scribe a neat line of scorched and melted skin down the back of the ball of my thumb, by direct contact with the heating element. It looks terribly painful, but the truth is that it didn't hurt much and hasn't bothered me much since then. So I'm waiting to see how it scars, to get an idea of whether branding might work on my skin. I'm not into modification in general, but if I come up with a medium and an image I really want, the pain wouldn't be much of an obstacle. After all, look what I put up with just for a sandwich.

Respectfully,
Myriad

I've suffered from severe migraines since I was 14. Piercings are a walk in park, comparatively.

Do you mind if i ask, for the sake of science?
What kind of sandwich was it?


And what sort of branding iron are you considering?
I like the "double Z" ranch one a lot.
 
I don't need piercings, I've got enough scars.

Can't have too many Limericks though.

Though I haven't tied the two together as I once thought I would. I had so many E.R. visits that I was going to write a poem based on the line "you'll be good as new in a week or two".

I've long since lost count, but I was over 100 stitches 20 years ago. Four stitches three separate injuries to the bridge of my nose. Seven surgeries to my hands. Who needs pierced ears to tell folks who I am, I'll wear the scars for that.

Yeah, I know. Tastes differ :). One good thing about piercings, as opposed to the also very modern tattoos, is that if you tire of it, you can remove the hardware, and the holes will become neigh invisible, after a time.

Not so fast.
My younger daughter has begun ear-lobe hole stretching fashion stuff.
She can put a fair size cork in the hole now. Not much going back on that type of piercing. We still love each other, but i can't help but wonder when the lip plates come. Those are so rad.

Eeeek!

The only sure way to keep her from the lips is to keep suggesting it to her!
That'll keep her from it. ;):p
