since i last answered, i started taking it off and finally left it off. i have a strip of doughy looking skin where the sun never hits my wrist. :lol:
and lo! and behold! it's true. i really don't need it.
however, the earrings have been there in one style or another, every day and night of my life since i was 14, and they're not going anywhere. i got my first pair of gold earrings when i graduated junior high school/middle school. my mother thought i was a gypsy :mrgreen: my daughter got hers the day she was born in the hospital. :-)
