But I digress… I had wanted to update a bit on the subject of my stretched earlobes.
I haven’t written on this subject since March. Wow. I really lied didn’t I? *sigh* Apologies.
I sort of moved up to a 2g stretch. I purchased a couple pieces and wear them occasionally. They are no problem at all to wear so I suppose I am a 2g. It is just that I often wear my 4g spirals just as often.
March, wow. I haven’t written on this subject, I haven’t written at all, on any subject. I hope I can locate some sort of free mental time again to do this. To write, anything.
March… That is about the time I began to really start seeing someone special. My life went topsy-turvy, most things in it changed. Little or no time for staring out the window and writing. Regretfully I admit it is still that way but am hoping to work it back it in somehow. Ohhhh, somehow 
But I digress… I had wanted to update a bit on the subject of my stretched out earlobes.
I don’t have time to post some of the pictures I’ve managed to keep taking randomly but there are a couple things I want to say.
I have discovered that despite my attraction to saddle plugs I doubt I will continue to purchase them. I loose them 
They pop right out without my knowing it in bed, while removing shirts, or helmets, or whatnot. *sigh*
Straight plugs also I almost loose because I’ve lost several of the o-rings that hold them in place then I realize it’s missing and “omg my jewelry could totally fall out and minute!” This has happened while washing my hands and looking in the mirror at work.
I must be abnormally rough my ears! hehe.
(Make sure match the o-ring size with the jewelry’s size, or slightly smaller, so they stay on. I know, that is of course the logical. But just… don’t ponder that just because this 2g o-ring seems to stay snugly on that 4g plug does not mean that it will, all day. *sigh* I have various sizes and have done that several times. Sometimes they stay on fine, sometimes I look up into the bathroom mirror and freak out because I realize I’ve quite nearly lost my jewelry. )
Because of these things I have become quite attracted to the plugs that have one side flared and the other has a screw on back piece. Not an o-ring. They’re generally a tad more expensive, but I doubt I would loose those 
Spirals and hanging pieces are still my favorite. They stay in, and some of them are just pretty.
I have a couple pairs I wear often. One, black horn spirals with a white inlaid design. The second pair are carved saba wood hangers. They’re very pretty, I like them quite a lot.
Ohhh, and another thing… the sharp ends of these pieces are strong. They aren’t so fragile that I have to be careful of breaking the tips off.
I’ll post some pics so you might understand what I mean. It’s horn, or wood… they aren’t as fragile as they might appear.
These are just the things I’ve noticed in the past several months. Also, that stretching to a 2g from a 4g was noooo big deal AT ALL. I have much more to say regarding the details of that. The… my experience may not be like your experience and here’s why kind of things.
Due mainly to my not having attempted to stretch my ears for such a long time. They were in excellent condition, perfectly healed and skin supple and thick again. (Or, I think that is why it was no big deal anyway. I know it’s just one size up from where I was but… well… all I really have to go on is what I read/research and my own experience… opinion.)
I’ll try and come back soon
Bonanza
P.S.
I just noticed I was incorrect to lament that I haven’t written on this subject since March. It seems I did manage to slip in a tidbit in September. Still no pictures though. *sigh* I have pictures. I MUST get some sort of me-time piddling back in my life, for pondering, for writing, for silliness and seemingly unimportant passions.
