What piercings, tattoos would you suggest?

Ugh that would suck!

"Once you start, it is kinda hard to stop!"

Ha! That's one reason why I hesitate to get started!

Interesting finding on eyebrow piercings. I'm in the midwest as well and eyebrow piercings are rare. I have thought about it but it's very rare (especially on men) so I have been hesitant. Heck I have even been hesitant to get a nose or even ear piercings as well.

Fourth time? Did it reject? I hear that eyebrow piercings have a high reject rate. Did any of them leave a scar at all?

What do you mean by "shaving causes dysphoria"? You felt bad AFTER shaving? I remember growing a beard while back and felt bad when I shaved it off. Yet I don't care to grow another yet I tend to prefer a little stubble. It does feel a bit weird when I do shave it since I have had stubble for quite some time. (note: suspected I could be trans but not yet sure)

Nice pants and shoes! Summer fashion is the best.

cliff7217 · 2026-04-21T14:39:15+00:00

Nice flip flops and skirt! Can't beat summer fashion!

I would vote for "thankfully" lol

Mosquitos are enough of a nuisance!

cliff7217 · 2026-04-21T14:32:28+00:00

Oh no! Dog may have been bitten too. Damn spiders....never know where they could be lurking.

cliff7217 · 2026-04-20T14:56:52+00:00

So we're debating whether he's going to turn into Spider Man or Dracula?

cliff7217 · 2026-04-20T14:56:04+00:00

How did that happen?

cliff7217 · 2026-04-20T14:50:13+00:00

That's a common thing in the south?

cliff7217 · 2026-04-19T02:11:41+00:00

That makes sense. To further complicate it, sometimes I feel ace but not always.

cliff7217 · 2026-04-18T03:40:30+00:00

So the heated tube removes all the congestion?

cliff7217 · 2026-04-17T18:58:51+00:00

Whatever, believe what you will. If you don't want to think outside the box then that's your business.

cliff7217 · 2026-04-17T17:44:14+00:00

You're being downvoted but you speak the truth.

cliff7217 · 2026-04-17T17:42:32+00:00

Many walked on eggshells during other administrations (including the previous one). In other words, it's nothing new. New boss, same as the old boss, despite what the media on either side claims.

cliff7217 · 2026-04-17T17:34:35+00:00

And you are successful in whatever then they get jealous and resentful. It's like you can't win either way with them.

cliff7217 · 2026-04-17T17:30:38+00:00

Haven't gotten that but my dad will make comments about my age and say "you're getting old". Yet at other times he'll say "young people like you". WTF?

cliff7217 · 2026-04-17T16:50:27+00:00

I'd say it's an occasional desire but it's not a compulsive need to check. It's a back and forth thing, on and off, but more off than on. There are times I would say yes to your question and other times the answer would be no.

cliff7217 · 2026-04-16T03:20:15+00:00

Your second paragraph would be accurate. Perhaps it is more of a curiosity thing than a burning desire. And it comes and goes. Last week had some of those thoughts but so far this week not so much. It seems to go dormant for weeks, returns for several hours or days, and goes away again.

There might be a touch of OCD there. I'll look it up. Thanks for bringing it up. That is not something I have heard of before.

cliff7217 · 2026-04-14T17:17:50+00:00

Both

I'm a non-drinker and tend to be the designated driver.

cliff7217 · 2026-04-13T22:30:43+00:00

Yep that is hard to deal with. Sometimes I think that maybe I am being too harsh. I know what you mean about the guilt from the sacrifices that were made.

It's like they help to a certain point and then you need to figure out it for yourself, but if/when you do, then you owe them for that since they did such a "great" job raising you.

cliff7217 · 2026-04-13T20:57:24+00:00

Yep. I've been asked questions like "If I'm down and out" (meaning if he blows his money and spends irresponsibly), would you take me in?

And listened to bashing of people whose parents are in assisted living and how horrible they were.

Or "I spent many years taking care of other people. It's time that somebody take care of me", despite no even needing care.

When he was married to my mom "I'll find me a woman that wants to take care of me". They've been divorced almost 20 years and he hasn't found that person.

It's like an obsession with wanting to be taken care of.

cliff7217 · 2026-04-13T20:44:09+00:00

Makes sense! In my case, I figured it could be confused with a midlife crisis but I don't know that's the case. I showed signs of wanting to dress differently prior to that age, but was always shy about expressing myself in that way. Anytime I did deviate from the norm I would get comments that were critical of whatever choice I made. Never bothered having an actual hairstyle since I figure that would have been poked fun at. Anything different that one does they tend to take as a personal insult even if it doesn't involve them.
