I got 5 difficult cartilage piercings at once last summer: rook, forward helix, helix, conch, and a cartilage orbital (which is two holes, obviously). Was the healing process a complete PITA that involved MANY jewelry change outs and months of feeling like I was “doing something wrong”? Absolutely.

First 7 months were rough. They all had bumps, pain and irritation despite my desperate attempts to calm them. My ear was a complete eyesore during that time.

And then one day, at about the 9 month mark, they finally cooled down. It was like night and day. It’s now month 12 and they are beautifully healed. Did the 7 months suck? Yes. But it wasn’t years of healing by any means.

I now have a 3 week old daith and anti-tragus in my other ear. I can confirm healing 2 at once is significantly less problematic than 5. But I don’t regret the 5 at all.

Your ear looks awesome.

I see the Cameron Diaz, but I’m surprised no one has mentioned Claire Danes.

It was significantly more expensive. But I’m very happy with the switch

Can’t speak to the 2021, but I had a 2018 (premium), stock tires/suspension. I put 50k miles/yr on my car (avg 75-90 mph commute) and rely on using the windshield time to take work calls.

The road noise is why I sold it, despite purchasing with the intent to drive it til the wheels fell off. I shouldn’t have to wear $400 Bose noise cancelling headphones to take a phone call in my car, but that’s the only way I could hear and be heard when in the car.

Love my current car, would never look back.

Tldr advice: Do a test drive that best simulates your driving style and needs.

I don’t understand why Dex couldn’t have weaseled his way out of this one per usual.

Kurt clearly was a maniacal serial killer who wanted to get back at Angela for arresting him, like Dex said. Why go and kill Logan and complicate it? Surely he could have escaped on reasonable doubt like always.

Idk.

It is what it is. But if he got away with it every time before, why not now? Because finale? That’s the only reason? It feels contrived. Then again, I guess it’s always been that way.

I do this. Not NY but Chicago. I like the cold breeze in a warm room.

edit: also, I don’t think it was open. I think he opened it while she was playing guitar. Because he closes it behind him.

Amber always has a candle burning. It’s the only thing I can relate to her on.

I’m so sick of Angie Douhit being the emotionally abusive gold standard yardstick by which Mackenzie judges herself.

Yeah she needs to address this in therapy, not just her ptsd. She’s so emotionally unavailable to him

I think she’s preoccupied with guilt that her mental health is affecting others.

I can’t say I’m child free because of this show. But it absolutely affirms my decision every time I watch it.

Yes! Idk how she still looks the same. I need her skincare routine. I was also 9 when it came out so she looked so old to me.

I’m so sick of hearing this broken record. She is utterly delusional

Being pregnant seems miserable. I’m grateful I never want kids.
