I never sat for that long but yes some areas are painful, it's all about nerve endings, pinch yourself where you want to get one will give you an idea where it will hurt and where it wont. The one on my

"The only weights I've been lifting are corn chips from the bowl to my mouth via the salsa bowl." LMFAO It's a good choice of weight lifting, that's my favorite workout.

Can't compare it to getting a tat...I don't think the needles go as deep and tattoos are kind of soothing if you get them in an area with less nerve endings, it's like a good scratching with long nails.

Ya know...you don't have to miss out on them meatballs! They do sell them by the bag and sell all the sauces to make at home (they taste especially good in meatball subs). They are yum tho. You guys are

Hehe, good to know I'm engaging! I always considered myself as mostly introverted. I could leave more comments around the chain being mostly the quiet reader but I have my moments and do try from time

Haha "prehistoric", I say the same about my camera! Cell cameras are getting pretty good these days I bet a newer phone would upgrade your experience with photos, they have all sorts of new features.

Awwe, you are too sweet! I agree it's good for the chain, gets people communicating with one another, I noticed the comment per posts average is low overall and could significantly improve. I don't think

I thought they were great but I can understand our personal standards as photographers is generally higher than our audience! I'm like that too. Hopefully you have the opportunity to get retakes to your

Both names works, hehe. I appreciate you holding the contest in the first place especially given how busy you were with the recent events and all your relatives visiting, it's a fun way to engage and loosen

I agree with your response on useful topics! We indeed live in a hectic world and taking time to ourselves and our thoughts and feelings is a useful part of life. Analyzing ourselves and what makes us
