Has anyone ever gotten a Medical warning Tattoo?

Last year I underwent Deep Brain Stimulation (bigger more powerful pace-maker, except its in my brain). Yes, scary as f&%k.

I recently got a tattoo in the middle of my chest, (near the battery/control module).

The tattoo isn't for anything particular, but …

I’ve seen discussions about the DNR tattoo specifically and it was said that tattoos do not carry any weight, though I’m not sure where those individuals were located. MedicAlert bracelets and necklaces are what paramedics and other HCPs are going to look for and act based upon, and those exist in Australia, so I suggest getting one in addition to your tattoo.

With my tremors bracelets and necklaces annoy the hell out of me. The ink is there so if I'm in an emergency and my shirt is cut open it's visible and the scar and battery pack are visible or easy to feel. It's not going to change much about how I'm treated (except I hope they don't put me in an MRI). But will supply some medical information prior to treatment.

Veggies!

I'm a first time veggie/herb grower, and I'm equally obsessed and terrified! Does anyone else grow any food?

I have cucumbers, tomato, stringless beans, sweet peppers, basil, potato, green onion, & purple onion currently sprouted. And I'm struggling with lettuce, spinach, strawberry, garlic. Would love to discuss/trade tricks if anyone …

So August 20th was your birth? Happy Belated Birthday. If I can ask questions: 1) What does your perfect day look like? Either a possible perfect day or 'pure fantasy' perfect day. 2) Going with your LOTR theme lately... would you rather be a) Hobbit of the Shire, b) Elf of Rivendell, c) Horsewoman of Rohan, d) Lady of Minas Tirith, e) Ent-wife of Fangorn, f) Orc of Mordor (but with, like, a really rockin' apartment, overlooking the party district, which has got to be in Mordor somewhere). 3) Do you have a big family or small family? Are you close to them? 4) Who are people you really admire? Types of people, or specific examples from history (leaders, performers, workers, activists, scientists, saints, etc). Well, that's enough for now... but I second (or third) the request to hear about your hobbies and ambitions. Where would you like to be in 10 years? Even if it's just a travel ambition...

Oh, I left one option off that compelling and very-much-for-cool-kids question 2)... g) Dwarven princess in Khazad-dûm. Because some girls are into hammers and crafts.
