I know last week when the ball fell off the end of my septum jewelry I said I was going to call my piercer, but I didn’t. And today it fell off again and I almost lost it. So I really am calling her for real tomorrow. I’m hoping she’ll be willing to put in my press-fit jewelry instead so I don’t have to worry about it unscrewing anymore.

@LnzyHou I meant I don't plan to have a baby 😂

That's a good point, removal doesn't take 9 hours and having to sit that long and have the pain extended that long has to make a difference I would think. My longest tattoo sitting (for the one I want to remove) was only a couple of hours I think.

@LnzyHou frankly I don't plan to find out personally, but I have to admit I'd be skeptical if someone tried to tell me removing a tattoo hurt more than giving birth.

@Graci if that were an option for this one, I would take it! But part of my goal is to not have ink on that part of my body anymore so removal is the only way to achieve that.

I have a tattoo that I'm planning to remove, and just stumbled across people discussing how painful tattoo removal is. One person said it was the most painful thing they've ever experienced except maybe a kidney stone, and another said they've literally been shot and the tattoo removal was worse. So that's great to know 😅

Cosmo says hello. We’re watching the War of the Worlds 2019 miniseries tonight. #dogsofcoso

Every now and then I’m struck by how insane fast food prices are now: they’ve literally doubled in less than ten years. And yet the buying power of the people buying them has not. Nor has the hourly pay of the people making them.

Trapped in a meeting with someone smacking their gum and I might go to jail today. #misophonia

There are three ways to solve any potential sizing issues with knitting:
1. Keep going and pray,
2. Stop, wet block what you have so far, and see if it will turn out the right size before you knit any further, or
3. Frog some or all of the piece (undoing days or weeks of work) and start over with a bigger needle.
I’m impatient so I usually go with option 1.

I got in the elevator with my hair tied back, wearing big earbuds that light up bright purple, and someone still started making small talk and then looked surprised when I removed an earbud and said “huh?” It’s totally ok to stand in silence when you are in an enclosed space with a stranger for 30 seconds. In fact, many of us prefer it.

@SaltyVeruca this too shall pass, as they say 🩷 keep up the fight.

I may have found both an exercise bike and a living room chair for about $150 today 😎 interesting how buying stuff new makes me feel guilty and anxious but finding stuff secondhand makes me feel accomplished.

The grumpy kitty went to the vet yesterday for her annual. Today we took the bonded pair for theirs and they were SO unhappy. #catsofcoso

@YouInMyEye Imagine paying $7 a month for a social media site that used to be totally free, AND still getting ads. Outrageous.

I would love to get past the phase of septum healing where any interaction with the jewelry causes my nose to start running. (I know I'm not supposed to touch it. But I have to in order to flip it up and down and it's not painful to do it anymore.)

@Evvie owwwww that looks like it hurts

@FireMonkey @MrGoat But “in-house” does not actually mean a house, so calling it homemade is a straight up lie even if it actually is made in-house.
