....that was not a pastie. It was a piece of
jewelry held on by a pin through her protruding nipple.

A few times in HS, my daughter started lobbying for some kind of body
piercing.

I told her she could, just as soon as she could point out to me exactly
whose esteem and regard -- hers or someone else's -- was so important that
she would risk letting a stranger use a mechanical device to punch a hole in
some body part.

Of course, I even think pierced ears are pretty stupid, so I guess that
identifies my niche. :-)

There's no might about it. I buy clothes that fit comfortably and wear
well, generally in solid colors. I replace them when they're worn, not when
some designer in Paris or New York needs more cash. :-)

It is not a question of defending football -- against what? Team sports can
be a valuable experience for anyone, as can military service -- particularly
in combat. Like Mark Twain's man carrying a cat by the tail, being a part
in a coordinated, intense, dangerous physical endeavor much larger than
yourself will teach you things about yourself that you can learn no other
way.

Some people do not care to participate in such things, and that is their
prerogative. Having been down that road earlier in life, my preference now
runs toward individual challenges, but I value the irreplaceable experiences
gained, knowing that, though the membership is large, it is a restricted
club, and there are many, many millions who will never know the things we
know.

Maybe some morning we'll all wake up and be as elite with the grunts
as you and NOYB.

If there's a God.......

John,
I'm just having fun with this, no offense guy, I don't have a beef
with you. Just messing around.

And likewise to you -- no offense taken.

I'd hate to be the baby trying to draw a meal through that scar tissue.

It's too bad your daughter doesn't share your sense of anatomical integrity.

Jeez, even people of the Stone Age liked self adornment. It IS a
matter of a person's self esteem. Again, there are many, many articles
dealing with self adornment back to the beginning of man.
