Okay, Okay.  I know I've "revealed" this before, but I also am tattooed and
pierced.  I have 9 tattoos, working on the 10th and 11th now.  Also looking
for a way to join the 3 tribal pieces on my calf so that it looks like one
big piece.  And I have a few piercings too, besides the 7 holes in my ears.
I won't get into those details, though.
 
Tattoos or lack of them doesn't make you a good person or a bad person.
Nor does it make you a good ferret mom/dad or a bad one.  In terms of Kim
at Kista, I haven't officially met her, but I hold her in the highest
esteem.  It's amazing how judgemental people can be.  I know bikers covered
from head to toe who would give you the shirt off their backs....or stop
traffic to move a turtle out of the road..... And I know some very clean
cut (inkless and piercingless) people who would stab their own mothers in
the back.
 
eeew, I hope my revealing these things about myself doesn't hurt the sales
of my book.  lololol.  Some people just don't realize how being judgemental
can often times hurt themselves more than anything else.
 
BTW, I've been asking and asking.............does ANYONE know where I can
find a tribal ferret for my next tattoo????
