    went to get my tat today...

    Thanks everyone. It was a bad experience but I won't let keep from what I want. I'll find a good place soon.

    Debi, yes, it's still illegal til November, but the tattoo shops are all over the place. (do a yellowpages search and you'll be surprised!) It's simply not a big enough deal for the police, they really don't care. This place is regulated and sterile and all that, but the guys are definite jerks. :(

    It was a terrible experience, and I didn't get it. :(

    First of all, I went in last week, talked to the artist, told him what I wanted, he says come in the day before your appt to okay the art work. I give him my $20 down for his time to draw and go home. Well, yesterday, they were closed, so I couldn't come in a day early, and they don't open til 3:00 in the afternoon on Tuesday, and my appt is at 4:00, so I get there at three, to make sure it's a go.

    I get there, as I said, at three, and they aren't even there yet (first sign this isn't this best place)... I go in when they get there, Pete (the artist) grabs my card of the wall (the card with the description of what I wanted) and goes to the back room, says he'll get it together and be right with me. Well, he hadn't even started to draw it out, didn't even remember the script we decided on, the body style of my dragonfly, or anything...

    So, I sit there for and hour and a half while he's designing... He comes out with a drawing, nothing like what I've given him to go by. I asked him to change a couple of things, he comes back, I'm still not feeling it. He acts like I'm putting him out, so I say 'you're getting tired of this huh?' He's like yea I am, you want to reschedule? He was very rude. The whole time I'm there, I feel he's rushing, he's not put together, not nowhere near ready to do his job... I said yea, but as we walked to the front, I said, look, just give me my money back (I had just given him the other $55) so the owner at the front desk gets my money for me. He doesn't care about what I'm trying to tell him, he just tells me I don't know their job like they do.

    But HELLO, I have to live with this tattoo for the rest of my life!! It's MY body, my money, my time. I felt like crying, I couldn't believe the way they acted. :(

    I guess I've watched too much Miami Ink, it's not all happy endings and good people who will work with you..

    Sorry for the long rant, just had to get it out.

    Good vs Evil

    In the beginning, God created the Heavens and the Earth and populated the Earth with broccoli, cauliflower and spinach, green and yellow and

    red vegetables of all kinds, so Man and Woman would live long and healthy lives.

    Then using God's great gifts, Satan created Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream and Krispy Creme Donuts. And Satan said, "You want chocolate with hat?" And Man said, "Yes!" and Woman said, "and as long as you're at it, add some sprinkles." And they gained 10 pounds. And Satan smiled.

    And God created the healthful yogurt that Woman might keep the figure that Man found so fair. And Satan brought forth white flour from the wheat, and sugar from the cane and combined them. And Woman went from size 6 to size 14.

    So God said, "Try my fresh green salad." And Satan presented Thousand-Island Dressing, buttery croutons and garlic toast on the side. And Man and Woman unfastened their belts following the repast.

    God then said, "I have sent you heart healthy vegetables and olive oil in which to cook them." And Satan brought forth deep fried fish and

    chicken-fried steak so big it needed its own platter. And Man gained more weight and his cholesterol went through the roof.

    God then created a light, fluffy white cake, named it "Angel Food Cake," and said, "It is good." Satan then created chocolate cake and named it "Devil's Food."

    God then brought forth running shoes so that His children might lose those extra pounds.

    And Satan gave cable TV with a remote control so Man would not have to toil changing the channels. And Man and Woman laughed and cried before the flickering blue light and gained pounds.

    Then God brought forth the potato, naturally low in fat and brimming with nutrition. And Satan peeled off the healthful skin and sliced the starchy center into chips and deep-fried them. And Man gained pounds.

    God then gave lean beef so that Man might consume fewer calories and still satisfy his appetite. And Satan created McDonald's and its 99-cent double cheeseburger. Then said, "You want fries with that?" And Man replied, "Yes! And super size them!" And Satan said, "It is good." And Man went into cardiac arrest.

    God sighed and created quadruple bypass surgery.

    Then Satan created HMOs.

    Thought for the day .....

    There is more money being spent on breast implants and Viagra today

    than on Alzheimer's research. This means that by 2040, there should be a

    large elderly population with perky boobs and huge erections and

    absolutely no recollection of what to do with them.

    Mom just had her ENT appt today, it had gotten rescheduled.

    It seems her left vocal chord is paralyzed because something is growing and pushing on it. He said it could be lymph nodes. He's surprised she can talk as good as she can. He will send the report to her onc. She gets a PET next month anyway, guess we'll see where we go from here.

    I wanted good news so bad. My mom is so strong, she said for me not to worry cause she wasn't.

    Carleen, I think that's a wonderful way to honor Keith; he would love it. You're braver than I am, don't think I could do the neck, although I do think it looks cool. :)
