One of the second set was done by my sister with the ice cube, etc. I can't remember that last one. I might have done that myself. Anyway, I had problems of sensitivity to the cheap earrings, but not the silver or gold. I prefer silver and I have a whole cabinet that I built to hold all my earrings. Over the years, my tastes have changed. In high school and college I wore big earrings to go with the big hair. But now I prefer to be a little more subdued, so look for smaller things.Lisa Flowers Rosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03255748017497273887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16634800.post-45279254023740066152009-07-18T15:10:19.758-07:002009-07-18T15:10:19.758-07:00Beautiful silver earrings!

She has two! They are in discreet places and are actually small, but UGH!!! I can't stand them. I told her some people call them tramp stamps, but she only rolled her eyes. Just like I did when my mom told me my skirts were too short and my bangs were too long.Janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08532721287686146185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16634800.post-18781073933262229372009-07-17T14:06:03.083-07:002009-07-17T14:06:03.083-07:00How interesting - my mother had the same views on ...How interesting - my mother had the same views on women with pierced ears, along with other judgements such as "Only common women wear white shoes with dark stockings or shoes with bare legs". I thought it was peculiarly Scottish but it must have been a generation thing. Thanks for the memories, Terry! <br /><br />PS I love my pierced ears but I couldn't face having any other bits of my anatomy done!Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03295597495241721771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16634800.post-49472175712649308282009-07-17T13:13:13.377-07:002009-07-17T13:13:13.377-07:00haha I can see other parents had the same issues. ...haha I can see other parents had the same issues. Mine was from my FATHER. He said " if you think I am going to pay someone to add two holes to your head you have another think coming". He also thought only loose women wore those kind of earrings. My sister and I went to my diet doctor when we were just over 18 and paid for it ourselves although honestly I don't think he charged us. Dad never made a comment as long as we paid for it. I think largely he chose his battles.<br />LOVE my bird thanks!<br />RuthHOA Mgr Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07949018880623140075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16634800.post-82126328640703583052009-07-17T09:08:50.823-07:002009-07-17T09:08:50.823-07:00Here I am about 42 years later with my pierced ear...Here I am about 42 years later with my pierced ears of 2.5 years.

It was the same deal--ice cubes, scrupulous cleaning, etc. The pierced one's ears got so infected--her lobes swelled up like golf balls. She too, developed an allergy to certain metals. As I recall she can only wear gold now. They were about 15 years old at the time--many MANY years ago!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16634800.post-66744364151345727642009-07-17T08:02:38.534-07:002009-07-17T08:02:38.534-07:00I held my daughter's hand when she had her ear...I held my daughter's hand when she had her ears pierced when she was 10--but didn't get my own pierced until I was 40 (my friend, Sharon, held my hand) My mother always made disparaging remarks about people who had pierced ears like "Only gypsies and your grandmother have pierced ears!"

Now I am addicted to French wires and posts and hesitate to count the earrings I own, lest I feel thwarted when I covet even more. If I don't wear earrings for part of every day the holes start to heal, so naturally I need many earrings to prevent that! They thrill me still.Delhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11433487427679233617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16634800.post-4488218340056761682009-07-16T23:56:06.639-07:002009-07-16T23:56:06.639-07:00I started with ear piercings in 1974.

In 1976, I had another piercing in my ear, so there were 2 in one ear; my sister-in-law almost dropped her fork and said: "Two earrings in one ear??" I kept that until a few months ago, then my punk era ended.Evahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03005517826999307074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16634800.post-78179690806142747102009-07-16T21:58:00.924-07:002009-07-16T21:58:00.924-07:00ahhh, does this ever bring back memories...i was t...ahhh, does this ever bring back memories...i was the piercer among my friends (2nd and 1st holes) after I pierced my own! and my mother said only "tramps" painted their fingernails and toenails red.

I got my ears peirce by the local Eyes, Ears, Nose and Throat Doctor. You had to make an appointment, when you showed up for your appointment he made you go back downstairs to the local jewelry store, buy 18ct gold wires, come back upstairs with purchase and receipt in hand before he would do the "procedure". I still got infections and allergies to nickel. Gold is my desire, so alas I have very little in the way of an earring collection. Maybe if I had a daughter as thoughtful as Emily I'd get more, though the cats have been very good in the past in regard to nicer jewelry.Jerihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00583785380523833479noreply@blogger.com
