UPDATE; tattoo not done but at least looking good. The threat of youtube worked. Me and 3 others laughing and drinking and reading the meanest posts worked as well. The skull is done and looks quite good! We will forget about the football.... He is proud, the artist is relieved and hopefully still a friend. As i am writing we are riding off. He has a bug bandage and a special gel, a foam, and God knows what that he bought for his new tat. But hey... Dont care. He is the biggest bear i have seen, but i dont think that the full sleeve he wanted at first will happen. Not with me anyways.... Lol

I just have a 22 and it shoots just fine. I like guns, i hold my own as far as target shooting. Use it mainly as a deterrent to those infamous home invasions that are becoming popular in Camada; 1 occured on our street. Elderly couple. I have an FAC sticker on my door, 2 dogs and a mean hubby... I gave the old couple a sticker as well. I do not know if i would have the nerve to shoot at someone; i hope to God i would in a case where my family would be in danger.

Sstu.... This is an awesome idea!!!!!! Never thought about that. And i will also make sure he leaves a HUGE tip to the artist. That guy has prepared his stuff so often for no good reason. And it also ties in another post as shame being a good source of motivation. I will keep you posted, as we ride tomorrow night and then stop by the shop. We might just make it our first stop. With just the right amount if tequila, the guys are going to make his life miserable....,

I will make him read all these posts; there is no anxiety there that i can see. He wants to be like the rest of the gang, and cant handle discomfort. On the football field, he is one of the biggest so people leave him alone. He always has to have the biggest bike, the loudest voice, the cutest girl ( she us dumb though....); he is a chilhood friend, and i love him that way. But hubby cant stand him... Wonder why!!!!!! Maybe reading some of these might shame him enough..... I just want him to finish the skull at least. It looks like a penis at this point.. It is empty and the base is not done! So i call him dickhead now.. Afraid i am a little nasty.

We tried the gel, i gave him tylenol before, we put headphones on him with music, we had music blaring in the shop to psyc hum up. His freaking whining is driving me crazy. After 3 kids, i swear this guy is driving me crazy. But he is a friend....but the noises he makes! First i had a few laugh and told his girlfriend he must be a noisy one... Lol . Now i get why she does not want to be at the shop. He does not take pills if any kind, except tylenols. So choices are scarce. My next option is a baseball bat on the side of the head; his or mine.

Yeap, you are reading right..... This is it; we belong to a biker club, and most of us love tattoos. The more the better, and we have fun talking about the whole process and what we will have done next. But my friend ( huge football playr guy) has none. So he asked me to go with him to see my artist; cool. Helped him pick a nice skull football theme ; cool. He lasted 20 mtes in the chair; not cool. We are at visit 3 , and the outline of the damn thing is not finished. At first i thought well, i am helping a friend. Plus i had hours of sitting in that chair and did not feel much. But i am getting mad as hell; how can i calm him down? He says it hurts too much (forearm). But he wants ( and needs now ) to get it done or he'll never hear the end of it. You know how bikers are sensitive about teasing... Lol What do you recommend????

Well , here it goes little boys!!! I read the beginning of the thread and thought, fuck it, i am showing the picture; that is my baby ( bike). And me. I am old enough to be your mom, and not a hot babe , but lost 60 lbs and showed it off at the biker's reunion. By the way that is the only visible tattoo. You have to be a real close friend to see the rest.... But my baby is mine, yamaha vstar1100 canadian edition. I would cut my arm instead of selling my bike...

Thanks for the clarification. I get it now. Good point; i live in Windsor , across Detroit. Two very different cities, from 2 very different countries. People are hurting in Detroit; we cross the bridge and see people begging in the street. People living under overpass. Cannot get used to it. Then i come back here. Not saying things are perfect here; far from it. But i was never refused service in a store here.., there yes. And i m a white woman; so maybe a threat over there? Here, the worse i had was a muslim man refusing to shake my hand at parent-teacher interview. Still unpleasant feeling though...

What are the Ickles, Dan????? And i had a good laugh when i read your link; i too had read that story with different twists. But still a feel good moment.

My first tattoo took a long time to draw, even though it is so simple...but my artist listened to what i wanted, and he did exactly what i wanted. It is feminine( in my eyes anyways), and put on my lower arm ( right) so i see it always. The leaves are for my beliefs ( vegan) The big heart is to hold all my students i carry with me since i have taught many years and that have passed away or dealt with unspeakable abuse The 2 drops of dew contain initials; one for a friend i had the priviledge of helping in her journey as she died of cancer at the age of 47. The other the initial of my sister who won her battle to that horrible disease.

Damn right! My friends are a rainbow when they come to the house ( litterally; some have so many tattoos, its like walking paintings). As a human society we have too many problems to start hating each other. We are supposed to be more evolved than animals; lets prove it.... That woman for me represents the bottom of society. Ignorance is not always blissed.....

1) no mental illness ( i am no doctor though) 2) sniffing it and smoking it only ( i think it is enough...) 3)had a long talk last night with boyfriend. Really nice guy, clean the last 5 years. She agreed to go in sept. , and they are moving in together. He goes to meeting, and she is going to start going with him. As i am writing this it is 6;45am and i've been up for a while. Both can deal with the fact we asked her to move out. The cruncher for her to accept the meeting last night? Her 15 year old sister was crying non stop...,

She graduated college and is still working full time. I guess thats good. And you are all right and i know it; she is using us, we know. And i dont believe in miracles; i know it is a shitty thing to do to throw her out. She plays the " its your fault" card quite well, trust me. Our fault when she got paid for photos ( yeap, those kinds) because we were not giving her enough money. My fault for not being there enough when she and her friends trashed the house while we were away. And yes, my fault for the drugs because i am stressing her out. Fuck i am tired. Sorry for sounding like such a wimp; sometimes the tattoos and bike hide many sleepless nights...

But how can i put my baby on the street? I just cant, enabling her or not. I am not ready. Maybe in a few weeks, or if she falls again. But it is tearing me apart. Hubby cant do it either. We are both teachers, both 45, and we see this scenario everyday. My husband's aunt just found her son hanging from a beam in tha garage last week. I will never give up on her. I still tell her every night that i love her and that we are there. I know we are crazy, but we still hope. Thanks to everyone who are sharing; hard topic. And hubby and i read all the posts and discuss.

We are bummed out! Our daughter relapsed after 3weeks off coke. She said that it is a once a time thing, but i cried all night while hubby kept his head in his hands. We had agreed to keep her at home while she was cleaning herself up, took her back and forth from work, made her favorite meals so she would eat and gain some weight. She has one fight with her boyfriend, goes running out of our house and disappears for the night. Comes back high in the morning. Her answer ? It was there, it was free and she was angry.... What to do??? Throw her out?She is 21.... We have a 15 and 17 at home as well ; none of us touch the stuff. But she is still my baby girl. Any advice accepted. End of my rope.

Tends to agree with posterboy.... Even though we are Canadians, and supposed to be be living in a great neighborhood (professionals, retirees, and so on), hubby and i both have our licenses to carry. Now, guy across the street was broken into. 5 People last month got their tire slashed. 2 vehicles got broken into. All separate incidents. Never us... Maybe it is the bike parked outside, the dogs roaming the house, or the tattoos and driving range sticker membership, but the little fuc@&&&rs stay away. I am NOT saying violence is the answer. But i refuse to be scared by a bunch of people who walk around and think they have a right to do these things. We are both teachers, and i had ONE student in my whole career, 23 years, threaten me. He told me he knew where my family and i were living. I simply answered that he was 16, and would be prosecuted as an adult; but i also whispered to him that he would not be walking into that courtroom... Sorry if i am long winded on this, but this touched a nerve as i was never the same teacher after that ass$&@ spoke to me like that.

We have a poster at the house my husband put up when our daughters started dating. Title? " dates who brought Stephanie home late" . On it there was a gurney with a guy with a toe tag, a guy in a straight jacket at the asylum, you get the picture.... And there is nothing like a 250 lbs guy taking your licence number . Funny; a lot of those guys we never saw a second time. But she was always on time..

Congratulations!!!!!!

Just a huge hug for you. Lost my nana to this horrible disease. Toward the end, she was always convinced the nurses were stealing her underclothing. Kept buying her more.... She was quite a lady before that, strong and beautiful. Thats what i remember; do the same. After a while.... For now, go through what you need to go through. Big hug and bisoux ( thats kiss in french) to you and yours.

Wanna thank everyone who answered and had anecdotes ; but i think something happened with hubby while on our bike trip to niagara falls and port dover that made me feel so cool! I dont care if people stare.... We were just getting off the bike at the falls, still helmets on, and all tattoos showing. Well this lovely chinese couple, tourists, barely speaking english, came over smiling and asked if they could take our pictures as we were " real canadians" so they said...; we obliged, and laughed so hard with them. I was so pleased that they felt ok to talk to us..they took many pictures of my tattoos. Felt much better.... Karma at work i guess.... I needed a boost, and they crossed my path. Need a beer; getting waaayyyyy too philosophical.... Lol

Happy i gave you the flashback, phil! Hubby and i had a great time hanging out with everyone there, angels, demons or whatever lol. We are very laid back people, and talk with everyone who ride; just happy and relax. Thats our motto. Plus a biker got killed on the road coming back, so everyone is thinking right now that life is pretty precious.

Yeap... And now in exile in ontario. Love it here; came for the job, stayed because i fell in love with the Leamington area. Ride all over the country though. Why? Are you from around these parts?

Yeap! 6 hours bike ride done.... Second honeymoon for 23 td anniversary. Left 3 teenagers home, hopefully will have a home to go to...rode to Port Dover Friday the 13th biker event. They said over 150 000 bikers. Insane yet beautiful. Funny moment; there was a shop for tearless airbrushed tattoos. Empty. More ink in that town that i have seen in my whole life. And beer. Vendors of all sorts; the Hells had a children charity going in a booth ( tshirts). A few booths later, lawyers were set up with business cards, saying they were experts in bike accidents and parole violation. Everybody just got along.... Pretty cool if you ask me! Off to Niagara Falls tomorrow.

I will learn to stare back.... It is a non-threatening gesture. My husband is really surprised by my reaction, and so am i! I am an animal activist, and i also work closely with the children aid society . I am vocal plenty in other situations. I dont judge others, but try to help as much as i can. I liked your quotes of the Bible. I will use that . Thanks..,

Getting used to it... Good advice, but maybe not my style. French, so obnoxious by nature...just surprised i guess by people's reaction. I have to say the Bible thing took me by surprise.... Not sure...
