I always think about what they will look like on not so young bods, I must admit, and you must read Chairman Bill's comments for confirmation on the fickle follies of youth! <BR/> <BR/>French Fancy: I am not sitting, FF, merely slouching - And they don't advocate bed rest these days, I'm afraid - It's all 'keep moving' and management of pain, so I am following doctor's orders, honestly, and I lose the plastic on Friday, thankfully! Thank you for your loving concern x <BR/> <BR/>Diane: Gloopy is a sound word, and I also like Discombobulated - I think that'll form my blog for tomorrow! It's not funny that you have thought of a tattoo too, it's just another of our twinnisms! I think the ribs are supposed to be the worst, not sure about the wrist, but it is a popular and pretty place for a discreet tatt! I have been to Lee's a few times, and haven't found that one you speak of yet, I will look again today - Thank you for your tender care, D! I am washed and dressed today, but used body wash on my hair, so look not unlike Cousin It! xox <BR/><BR/>Crystal Jigsaw: xx<BR/><BR/>Fat, frumpy and fifty...: I was planning on one for my 40th and couldn't find a partner to go with me, so chickened out - Maybe you, me and Diane need to go together - Like all the actors did in The Lord Of The Rings?! I do have nice Laurence Llewellyn Bowen mugs I treated myself to recently, and I do use tea-bags - Yorkshire Tea! xox<BR/> <BR/>Fat, frumpy and fifty: Have commented on yours today with what I did - I think it's the same as you did for your 'Bons mots'... <BR/>Am feeling not so bad today, really - Just healing, I guess...a little woozy/gloopy. <BR/><BR/>auntiegwen: Thank you - I hope you are doing fine in lovely Belfast, you gadabout you! x I recommend Cadbury's fingers and Haagen Dazs, but neither is very low fat! <BR/><BR/>lakeviewer: I know you are so right, and that the comeuppance does come - as I am reaping the rewards of my chastizing my own parents, with my son, now! x <BR/><BR/>sallymandy: Hello you! I know what you mean - As I was feeling okay, and then my OH rang me to ask me to ring the bank, and I burst into tears for no reason - Mad! Hope you are healing well now? <BR/> <BR/>Kate Coveny Hood: It is odd how we subconsciously mirror others' blogs I think! I know I will get much better in time, thank you for your kind thoughts! x <BR/><BR/>sherri: Welcome, hon'! I was glad to have the excuse for a trip over to Illinois to wish Big Al all the best - Did you get to your desired 48?! <BR/><BR/>CLAY: I know that is an incredible picture, and I think I recall seeing that sort of tribal custom on a TV programme - It just fit the tone of the piece exactly! Bless you for your kindness, gentle genius! <BR/><BR/>Scriptor Senex: C'est bizarre, non?! <BR/> <BR/>Braja: I'll be there soon, precious! x <BR/> <BR/>Chairman Bill: You always make me laugh, Sir, and it is so good for healing! <BR/> <BR/>Hadriana's Treasures: Latin, now that is interesting! I always worry about those in Chinese, as they're so easy to get wrong and mis-translate - I just couldn't trust anyone to get it right! It might say Special Fried Rice and Curry Sauce x <BR/> <BR/>Cynthia: Bless you, namaste! I am glad you enjoyed the journey, as I enjoy the spa-like experience of your blog, always! x I can't believe you were once a car-hop! <BR/> <BR/>Michelle: I have seen London Ink, but thought they weren't as talented as those artists on Miami Ink, I must admit... I would be interested to hear about your tatts some day soon! xxx <BR/> <BR/>Derrick: I know exactly what you mean and have had those same feelings myself, lol! xA Woman Of No Importancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02194976046531063422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-570655052849048780.post-74164809640920297632009-02-21T15:21:00.000+00:002009-02-21T15:21:00.000+00:00I think you can take a little downtime without fee...I think you can take a little downtime without feeling bad about it. <BR/><BR/>On the tattoos - I've found a few I would like, in places where they aren't likely to be seen by anyone unless they know me in the biblical sense, but I can't quite bring myself to pay someone to hurt me.

The artwork itself can look great but not, I think, on the body. The idea of having one's entire body covered with them makes me feel nauseous. Heck! even the chap in your pics with his arms covered is enough!<BR/><BR/>And I think it is the fact that they will be with you for ever and what might have looked 'cool' on a 20 year old won't have quite the same look when they're 70! No, just call me old-fashioned!<BR/><BR/>Hope you're feeling brighter.

In his 'After Dark' blog a couple of days ago, he posted photos I sent him of an old(ish) woman who was tattooed and pierced over every inch of her, except her face... and yes, you get to see EVERY inch (as I said, only go if you're feeling strong).

I must confess to being pretty conservative so I am not much for the piercings or tatoos but I realize that they do not have the connotations about a person that they once did and I understand more people getting tatoos. I like the ones that have some real meaning to the person. I must say that it will be very interesting forty to sixty years from now and many of those tattooed up people will be in a nursing home, it will look so odd, all that ink hanging in a distorted way, drifted into a different location!!! I'm with you, I don't find the beauty in a pierced eyebrow, lip, etc. Hope you continue to heal swiftly!ArtistUnpluggedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13580512807760805224noreply@blogger.com
