Do you have a tattoo? What and where?

I have a small yellow rose on my right hand.

So FF'ers are all tech geeks who don't get tattoos? :)

I have the kanji for "Year of the Snake" on my right shoulder and a large scorpion on my left and am thinking of getting a couple more at this point.

I have a rose on my wrist and a daisy on the side of my calf. The daisy is my favorite, it looks like a watercolor painting w/hardly any black ink. Got it when I was 20. crap, that was a long time ago!

My late husband had a beautiful wolf on his right shoulder. It was honestly the best looking tattoo I have ever seen. It looked like a pastel drawing and not a tattoo at all. It was all grays, except for the yellow eyes.
- Dawn
Louis: Oh, come on. Think outside the box. Surely there would be SOMEthing you could get into. The Google logo? No. A little laptop? Neah. Hmmmm...what would be appropriate for a social media expert? I'll have to think about that one.
- Dawn
for Louis - I'm thinking chain links.
- TheMacMommy
I wonder if they make Easy Button or Panic Button tattoos. Where would you put it if you got one? (right now, mind is in the gutter so reserving comment)
- TheMacMommy
I would think an "Easy Button" tattoo would belong just below the belt, centered under the belly-button

my shoulder blade has a nautilus shell section

Interesting! Thanks for sharing, everybody. The "my shoulder blade has a nautilus shell section" is a great way to say it! :) Ha!

45 adapter? At first I'm thinking "that little plastic piece you put inside old 45 records? That's weird." So then I thought maybe you were talking about a gun. So I googled it, and sure enough, it's that plastic piece, now made into jewelry, etc. Hey, I'm almost 50. Takes me awhile. :)

yes, caduceus, lower back

I have 4 right now. The 1st on the back of my neck which is a splash of stars. 2nd-right shoulder-skull in a tribal vine in the shape of a heart 3rd-anchor with stars winding up it on left shoulderblade and my newest tat....an easy button for my tramp stamp

If MJ had a crystal ball 25 years ago that showed how he would end up, I wonder what he would have done differently.

It's totally exasperating that FF cuts off initial posts with no warning whatsoever. If I'm going over your arbitrary limit on characters then freaking tell me!! You warn within comments for Pete's sake. Is it so hard?! Jiminy.

Hillsboro used to have a great fireworks show at the Fairgrounds. We could walk to the end of my block with lounge chairs and watch them from the open field without having to fight traffic. Best seats in the house. Then they put up a Mormon church there and they wouldn't allow us on the property, and then Hillsboro decided it's too expensive to...

I liked FF better before there were so many people. Now you see a post for a few seconds, then it's gone. I wanted to comment on something yesterday but once I closed it, it disappeared. I searched two or three pages back and then gave up.

There's not nearly as much discussion as there used to be. Now it's mostly people talking with relatively little response.

If I believed in reincarnation, I'd hope that MJ comes back and never picks up a microphone, so he could have a second chance at a normal life.

First Obama called the conflict in Iran "robust debate." Now today when asked to comment about the 7 killed, he said “That is not how government should interact with the people." Oh really, Sherlock?! His teleprompter needs to starting writing him some better lines. He's looking like a light weight moron.

Have you heard this? In Iran, doctors have been ordered to report protest-related injuries to the authorities, so some seriously injured demonstrators have sought refuge at foreign embassies in a bid to evade arrest. I wonder what being arrested means. Will they be killed? I bet they aren't getting the care they need. I feel so helpless in the...

Steven Jobs has a liver transplant? http://www.foxnews.com/story... Why are they being so secretive about what's wrong with him? I mean, I know it can affect the stock price, but seems to me this uncertainly about his prognosis can make it even worse.
I wondered about that - but as far as I can see he's openly taken a leave of absence and isn't running the company right now, and the company has continued to do very well without him managing every step. I'd have thought it's better for everyone concerned if he gets to deal with his (obviously serious) health issues in relative private without having to worry about the public perception at every step.

Ha! Little do you know, Alex. Say sex is a sport. Who plays is better? The ones who treat it casualy, or the ones who respect and cherish it as divinely inspired? Atheists are limp in more ways than one. ;)

As if there aren't a ton of frustrated, repressed religious folks pulled down by the weight of "thou shalt nots?" I'm willing to concede that many who look outside themselves for the answers to life will "do it right," but I'll have to smile incredulously at any serious contention that they're sexually superior.
- MiniMage (FakeLifePerson)
Well, BoringMage, I'd say that given all those "shalt nots," sex with your spouse becomes even more valued and even more practiced.
- Dawn
btw, even taking religion out of it, studies have consistently shown that monogamous married couples have sex more often and report being more sexually satisfied and sexually creative than single people.
- Dawn
That doesn't even remotely ring untrue to me. However, atheists can be monogamous, can cherish their spouses, and can have just as awesome horizontal times as Bible-lovers. I would not raise one group above another.

Re: Yahoo's Spam Filter. Whenever I bcc something to myself that I write from my own Yahoo account (I don't keep a copy of every sent letter, just the ones I want to keep), it almost always goes into my SPAM folder. You would think that my own account would recognize that itself isn't a spammer!
Praying for Iran today. It's fabulous to see the spontaneous protests and that despite the government's efforts, word is getting out. "Power to the people" is why I was so excited about the Internet when I was introduced to the Web in 1995. Way to go Twitter! I just hope and pray that this doesn't wind up as another Tiananmen Square.

How do you pronounce "crayon"? I say cray-on. Of course, it's cray-on. My young adult kids say something that almost sounds like "crowns"! This may sound silly, but I'm shocked. It's like, where the heck did you pick THAT up?

Cray-on. Even as a child, I never pronounced it "crown" but I've heard kids doing that more and more these days. Shoot, kids watch enough TV, do they *not* see the Crayon commercials where the word is pronounced correctly? (oh that's right...TiVo...)

Thanks, Guys. I had Paradise Harley come get it on Tuesday because the guy wanted to put new tires, new handlebars and a luggage rack on it, to have it ready when he arrived. After we transferred the title, etc. yesterday, I drove him and his girlfriend to the shop. He thought I'd come in to look at what they'd done, but I just couldn't. I knew it would just make me cry. BUT, the good news is, I have a lot more room in my garage now. ;)

All right. I looove Pixar, and UP was pretty good. In fact, for the first 30-45 mins, it was fantastic. But then the Dreamworks dogs showed up, and it didn't seem like Pixar to me anymore. I could've done with another hour of only the main four characters, no villain and no dogs. So I wouldn't say it was Monsters, Inc., but it was good. Pixar can't help but be good.
