what shop did u go to?

I went to a place in Richmond, IN called Tim Million's House of Ink. He's amazing and did an awesome job on her. He's who's gonna do the rest of my back piece.

What's guy code?

well, in my experience, guy code is similar to girl code, just guys don't put an off limits sign on girls that they've just screwed around with. at least from what i've seen they don't.

Yay for new tattoos! Boo for pain lol

I've heard ribcage is pretty bitey but the main thing is that the pain only lasts as long as the machine is going! Then it's just a little bitey! I always relax with some champagne after a tattoo!

@ d00fa, I think it may be lust. LOL

@ kyusss, I'm tryin to figure out ways around the pain, but a lot of people have told me that once my endorphins kick in, I should be sittin pretty. And, Of Course, YAY for new ink! Its been too long.

Awesome - have you been doing laps just for the hell of it??

Not laps, but i'm down to drive anyone, anywhere, just cuz i can!!! lol

I've not driven in about four years. My car died back in the winter of 2007 and it just wasn't worth fixing. I never got around to replacing it. Thankfully I live right downtown here and I work about 10 blocks from home. So, I really don't have much reason to ever go more than 2 miles from home.

Oooo maybe a nice cruise through the hills, maybe to a camp ground with some friends, camp, drink, pass out then a nice cruise home the next morning yeeeeh!

Congrats. I haven't had a car for about that long myself. Enjoy your new found freedom!

I'm so excited. Its been killin me to have to rely on everyone else. I'm so close to not having to depend on anyone else, that i almost don't know what to do with myself.

I need to get on that playing hard bit - been working hard for too long!

I wish the Universe would be more clear sometimes, but it always seems to work out in the end so I guess we're still on track!

thanks, me too.

I know that feeling! I used to work in a couple of bars and I used to get given really long shifts - and have to work all holidays and New Years. It's a compliment I know - they don't want anyone else! But tiring!

Thanks. It just bothers me that after i was told by one doctor that they found a 7cm mass, the next doctor i saw totally tried to discredit that. I don't think that one doctor would tell me something that would seriously worry me if it wasn't there. Then, add to that the fact that when they were taking my history and asked if I smoked and I said yes, then they asked how much, I said about a half a pack a day, when the doctor came in and read the history, it said that I smoked a pack and a half a day.
It really made me want to scream. I know there's something wrong, and I've got about a month to get it figured out and fixed before I have to make another trip to the hospital to deal with the pain. Its unbearable, and physically, i can't take it anymore.
And, in all honesty, i was at a clinic where they work on a sliding scale, because unfortunately, i don't have insurance. So yeah, it could've been a rush to get me in, seen, diagnosed, and out. But all patients matter, and I'm scared and really need someone to listen to me. I know my body better than anyone else.
