You're a good man Raider.

 

P.S. Any new tattoos or piercings?

Not as of yet. I have had a slow tattoo year. I'm getting ready to get two possibly three tattoos before the year is out. My arm needs more art work! I can't expand to my chest until I get this sleeve finished. Never in the history of tattooing has a sleeve been drug out for this long. Its all on me though.

I also plan on getting an industrial in each ear before the year is out. I've always wanted them I've just never gotten around to it yet. I've never had the cartridge in my ears pierced so I'm a bit curious to what its going to feel like. I figure it will either hurt like hell or it will kick an adrenaline high. I'm seriously thinking more of the first than the second. Repositioning jewelry and to a much larger extent a needle in a fresh piercing never feels good. Plus my wife is not helpful i this at all. Her definition of pain and mine are completely different. Get your tongue pierced she says. It doesn't hurt at all she says. Ummmmmm. Wrong. The needle didn't hurt at all. Those stupid hemastats hurt like all get out though. Good lord those hemastats were horrible. So yeah little miss, "I may have been imbibing at the time, so I don't really remember", is not allowed to advise on piercings anymore.

Get your nipples pierced...lol. Had mine for over 20 years now. It really wasn't as painful as it sounds. Even got them done a year apart. The first one was like an initiation into a band I playing with at the time. They all had one and the peer pressure didn't help. So I did it. Wasn't bad and a year later got the other one done. Still have em to this day. I feel naked without them now...lol. ?

They are pierced. Probably my all time favorite piercing. It was quite euphoric actually. I truly enjoyed the experience of it. Very little pain at all. Much less then having had my septum done or when I did a triple labret. 

I keep very few of my piercings for longer than a week or two. Its all about the experience of it, at least for me it is. Plus you get a awesome story to tell about it. The only ones I have kept are my ears, cause I do feel naked without them. Always have been that way since I first had them pierced. My tongue, cause it hurt like the devil. So it was stretched to a 2gauge so as to never completely close up. It stays right at a fourteen gauge now, regardless of how often or little I wear it. So I won on that one. My nipples cause, well they are my favorite piercing of all time.They are my trophy piercings so to speak. The ancient Romans used to do theirs as well. It was a sign of manhood. There are even sources that say they were also used to hold their togas in place. How much truth there is to the toga story I have no clue. I haven't researched into that aspect yet. There are many more essays and articles on the subject to read on. It is one of the longest lasting and continually done piercing in modern times. 16th century onword. 

With the exception of newer (rediscovered) ear trends, implants, and below the belt (which will never happen). I'm honestly just not interested in most any of them. I have pretty much had everything above the belt pierced at least once. Some were done and redone at different times. It is a weird obsession I have. Probably need to continue this via msg. I'm pretty sure the forum at large is not going to approve of my piercing ramblings. However, if they only knew how handy piercings are for holding fishing lures while retying or just to keep the lure out of the way. 

 

P.S. you have not seen terrified until you stroll up from under the water in a lake or pond with a barbless crank bait sticking through a labret piercing while your buddy holds a fishing pole and screams I got one I got one. People straight up freaked out and ran.

She's sees more stability in her life as your adopted daughter. You should be blessed to be chosen your someone she can count on. A little rough around the edges you are but your heart is in the right place I'm sure.

 

i had a dead beat dad, I hate guys that don't take care of their kids. My dad was never there for me. We butted heads when we did see each other, I never saw him again for decades. I have a dead beat dad with my step grand child. When we meet we will square off.

I raised 3 sons that are not mine while I never adopted them all 3 call me Dad & call their biological father just a sperm donor.

 

Anyone can father a child but it takes a real man to be a Dad!

My two kids came with my girlfriend too. I've been Dad since they were 4 and 5 and the only dad they know. It makes me want to be a better person.

 

Hell, I learned to fish for my youngest son who always asked to go fishing... turns out I really liked it too.
