eventually get both my ears   pierced>>>>>
 
I forgot to mention that I have had as many as three piercings of
my right ear lobe (currently just one filled) for about 35 years.
As I think I have mentioned before on list, my maternal grandmother
had a collection of "solje," or silver ethnic earrings from her  province
in Norway.  Since my ex-wife and therefore our daughter thought 
the ear-piercing was mutilation (I kept telling her that circumcision 
is mutilation, but my son was circumcised anyway) and therefore
did not wear the earrings, I decided to have my ear pierced so that
SOMEONE in the family could wear the collection of solje (silver).
 
So there.
