Why Men Wear Earrings

by Dianne

Did you ever wonder why earrings became so popular with men?

A man is at work one day when he notices that his co-worker is wearing an earring. The man knows his co-worker to be a normally conservative fellow and is curious about his sudden change in "fashion sense."

The man walks up to him and says, "I didn't know you were into earrings."

"Don't make such a big deal, it's only an earring," he replies sheepishly.

His friend falls silent for a few minutes, but then his curiosity prods him to ask, "So, how long have you been wearing one?"

"Ever since my wife found it in my truck."

I always had wondered how this trend got started.

Dianne Thanks for the blog. I guess it's good the wife didn't find women's underwear in that truck. LOL

I really feel bad for you with all your dental woes. On the bright side, you will be under anesthesia so will sleep through the whole procedure. I imagine you are feeling a lot of anxiety about this but try to focus on something you are looking forward to once all of this dental work is done.

I noticed on Jake-ass's FB that he lists himself as single so that's good.

Just a quick fly-by. We will soon be heading North to the Soaring Eagle Casino for the "HEART" concert. I am meeting my sister there. Jim will find something to keep him occupied while were are in there lol!

It is freezing here!I will have to drag out a heavy coat! I supposed that means no sandals either lol!

Have a great week end peeps!!!

Dianne, Oh no, another dental emergency! Do you have any kind of dental insurance? I would definitely cry if I had to get all that work done. I have a good dental insurance, but I would probably still have to pay 15% or 20%.

sacBarb said...

J/L, I do have a lot of craft crap. but I do use it a lot. I will often look online for ideas for cards. When I was doing the scrapbooks for the kids, it was a little more difficult because I had to decide for myself what papers went with which embellishments. After they were all finished, there were some pages I was not happy with, but I just left them as they were. It took me so long to do the books, I just wanted to be done! Each of the three books had more than 100 pages. I still have to make one for my grandson, but I don't have very many pictures of him as a child because my son and his mother divorced when he was two and I didn't see him that often.

sacBarb said...

Jodi, A friend tells me I can rival Michael's with all the stuff I have. LOL

Dianne/Denver said...

Barb, I do gave dental ins but it's only for $1500. Boy, you have good dental insurance. What kind Is it? You will be leaving soon ,right? I might be all mixed up again ..I find that happening a lot.

JL, we think Jake-ass changed to another FB under some different name because he isn't posting any more. He also blocked Tammy and Andy but he forgot to block me.

Well, tonight was prom and seven girls came over for pictures and to go in the limo. They all looked so pretty. Kayla was late as she was having eyelash issues and was not done nag well. All turned out fine. She's going with her friend to a party after prom. I don't really trust her to not go to Jake-ass house. I think it's nice how the girls all go together now so they don't have to stay home without a date like my day.

Mary, how was the concert? How many more millions did you win?

Barb and I are going to see Money Monster with George Clooney and Julia Roberts tomorrow. I'm kind of getting some things ready for trip as you all know my packing ability!!

Hi Jodi..

Dianne, I leave Thursday to go with my high school friends and I come home late on the 23rd. I will be home for one day and leave for San Diego on the 25th. I will be back from San Diego on June 8th. I am packing two suitcases so all I will need to do is leave one and pick up the other when I leave again. My toiletries will all I have to change into the other suitcase. I am trying to get it all organized today. Kayla looked so pretty for the prom. How did her date with that other guy go?

I have Delta Dental Insurance. I am a retired state of California employee, so the coverage is really good. I am very lucky.

Hi, HOoters! I had a wonderful day today. My daughter took me out to breakfast and then to a matinee performance of Kinky Boots. What a good time! I thoroughly enjoyed the show.

Barb Well, you sure have a lot more clothes than I do as there is no way I could pack two separate suitcases at the same time for two different trips. Then again, as you all know by now, I hate to shop. Who is taking care of the kitties while you are gone? Are they boarding?

Dianne Let us know how you like the Money Monster movie. I've seen the ads for it and it looks good. Kayla and her girlfriends all looked so pretty. I hope they had a wonderful night. Yes, it is nice that groups of friends can go together and it doesn't have to be with a date.

Just_Lin said...

Mary How was the Heart concert? I hope you had a good time.

Dianne/Denver said...

Hi...up late tonight. No reason just playing on iPad and listening to my music. I keep getting ready to close down then another good song comes on. I'm probably keeping my neighbor awake but haven't heard any knocking on the wall. Lol.

JL, the movie was really good. Pretty edge of your seat. Julia and George were very good in it. I like him when he's not quite so silly as he sometimes is in movies. I'd recommend it. Glad you had a fun day. I saw that show and liked it too. It's fun to spend the day with your daughter, isn't it?

I haven't talked to Kayla so I hope they had a fun night and that she wasn't on the phone all night with you know who!! I haven't talked to anyone but Emilee for a few minutes and she said they were having a family meeting because she got caught snaking boys in last night. Tammy can't catch a break. I'm so worried about her.

Barb, that's a good idea to pack two suitcases. We are kind of doing that for our trip ..one for the road and one for when we settle someplace for a few days. It's easier for Louis than carrying everything in each time. Hope you haven't great two trips. Yes, what are you doing with your kittens?

Dianne/Denver said...

Hello..what are you all for my today? It's cold and rainy here..40 degrees and pouring. Had lunch with my nephew and then cleaned my office some more. It's all clean up crept file drawers but to walk in looks as good as when we moved in and unpacked...finally. It took years. I also got my bathroom bags ready for my trip.

That's it for me out west here.

Dianne/Denver said...

Ok....I know you are all somewhere and forgot to tell me where to meet

Just_Lin said...

Dianne I'm here! You have been a busy bee lately. I have projects I should do around the house but can't seem to get around to it. Years ago I ordered some soft-lined drawer separators to put in a dresser drawer for the purpose of putting jewelry in it, making the whole drawer into a kind of jewelry box. I still haven't done it. I have jewelry in boxes and pouches filling up that drawer and I sometimes forget what I even have in there. I have three regular size jewelry boxes, also, which seemed to be filled with stuff I never wear anymore. I don't wear much more than my usual rings and earrings on a daily basis. When I'm getting more dressed up or packing for a cruise, I'm always rummaging through that unorganized drawer to find stuff. This is a major case of procrastination.

Mary/MI said...

JL, I bought a new dresser last year that has a top drawer just for jewelry. I love it! It gets a bit messy, but at least I can see everything at one glance. I too have a few fave,things that I wear on a reg. basis. My safety deposit box has a few things like gold and diamond rings I rarely wear. I am more into silver now.

Dianne,I'm here!It has been damp and chilly here. Our temps will be climbing soon :)
Your trip sounds like fun! Too bad you can't make a Michigan detour!



Dam guy has not come back to finish my window trim and wall! I need to have my air conditioner in soon. All he has to do is a little sanding on the wall so I can paint it, and put trim around the window!

Mary/MI said...

oops, I meant to answer JL about the concert and got off on the wrong track with Dianne's jewelry lol!!

JL, the concert was great! The gals still have it! They didn't sing my fave. song though! " All I wanna do is make love to you". Love it! I have seen the Movie "Kinky Boots" and loved it! Kind of reminded me a little of my Father's old shoe shop when he used to make shoes. I loved trying on the Barnum and Baily huge clown shoes he made!

Just_Lin said...

Mary You are still on the wrong track. I was the one talking about my messy jewelry drawer. LOL

Just_Lin said...

It's really a lovely and sunny day today. I should take the dog for a walk. I think I'll sit here and think about that for a while. LOL

Just_Lin said...

I got off my butt and walked the dog. Patting myself on the back.

Mary/MI said...

Jl, I am a mess lol! I took Zoie for a short walk around our property. We usually go way back and up the neighbors hill. We both needed to move!

My guy showed up today and finished the sanding! I took a damp wash cloth to the wall earlier and just put some primer on the fresh plaster. Tomorrow I will give it a first coat, second, if it dries fast. I also have to stain the trim. He gave me his private phone number to call him so he can do the last step of framing the window..yay!!!

I took the cats to the Vet about 11:00 today for boarding. I had a bunch of errands to do an I got home about 3:00 and they called me. They wanted to know if they could put them in the same cage together because they weren't doing too well being apart. Of course I told them yes. They are so used to being together I guess they thought I was giving them up. I feel so guilty now. I should have tried harder to find someone who would stay with them at my house. I have been thinking about that ever since I got the call. I called the Vet about 5:00 to check on them and the tech said they were doing fine, but I wonder if they were just telling me that to ease my guilt. :(

I better get packing. I barely started earlier and then I got distracted with other stuff. I am leaving at 5am to pick up Claire and I am driving to Henderson, NV. It's about a 9 hour drive without stops. We will definitely have to stop for potty breaks and to eat, so I figure about 10+ hours for us. I'll try to check in, but not sure what we are doing, so I won't promise. I'll be back home late Monday. I will have to get my car smogged on Tuesday because my registration is due on June 2, and I won't be home from San Diego until June 9. I forgot I needed to get the smog check before I can register the car. This is the first time I have had to do it since I have had the hybred car.

Barb Your kitties will do better as time goes on and they get used to the new surroundings. They were probably each smashed up as far back in each individual kennel as they could possibly get. They will be happier and feel more secure huddling up together. When we had scared kitties, we would hang a towel over the kennel door so they felt like they were protected in a hidey hole. Once they got used to things, many of them would be right up at the door checking out the activity in the room. Try not to worry about them. They are safe and they will be well cared for and that is the most important thing.

This was the first time I had to get my Prius smogged, too. They didn't use to have a machine capable of testing hybrids but now it's been developed and tested for years to make sure it worked properly. It was nice not having to worry about smog testing for the past 10 years.

Just_Lin said...

Mary By the time I got to the second corner when walking the dog, my left hip area and thigh became numb which was a blessing and made the rest the the walk much more enjoyable for me. I wish I could get it to do that every time. Sciatica is a bitch. LOL

Just_Lin said...

Where is everyone? I managed to walk the dog again today. I also went out for lunch, went to the bank, and did 3 loads of laundry. I'm supposed to meet my son and grandkids for lunch on Saturday and a Black Bear Diner located halfway between us. It will still be a little over an hour for each of us to get there. Now I see it is supposed to be raining and thunder storms that day. I'm now thinking of seeing if they could meet me on Sunday instead. I'll be relying on my phones GPS to get to the restaurant and would hate for it to stop working due to interference from the weather. Phooey.

Waving a wing from Wisconsin!

So the steroid shot I got in my knee worked great the first day, but after I did PT on Friday, my leg started hurting below the knee. Saturday was the worst. I took a Tylenol 3 w/codeine at 6 am and again at 11 am and it did nothing for the pain. I ended up going to urgent care after work, and the PA told me that there is a bursa sac below the knee that is giving me the pain. She gave me a work note to be off Sunday and Monday. I compromised and did books only on those days and iced and elevated my leg afterward. Late Monday morning I had another PT session and the same thing happened. I call my PT and she decided I should go for a follow up appointment to have it checked out. I got in yesterday and they gave me a shot in the bursa sac. They also gave me work restrictions. Work no more than 8 hours, and they need to allow me to be able to ice and elevate my leg 2 times during my shift for 15 minutes each. Should be interesting considering that I'm scheduled a 10 hour shift next Thursday. Oh well, Milissa will just have to figure it out!!! I did discover on Wednesday that if I take 3 ibuprofen with the Tylenol 3, that it makes it bearable. I'm calling today and cancelling my PT on Tuesday. It's truly been hit or miss with my therapy. And I'm so frustrated!! I've done everything they've asked me to and it's done nothing!

On Monday I'm going in for a free consultation for a different therapy. It combines chiropractic with ARPwave therapy. A guest of mine is doing it now for her foot and has made remarkable improvements!! I've heard its intense, but I've been fighting this since March 3rd. I need to be able to move. Without pain!!!

Jodi said...

DIANNE - Yes, I get along very well with Eric's first wife, and I did like his second to begin with. I'm looking forward to Saturday Shari and I are leaving at 8:30 am to head up to Eau Claire for James' graduation. It's going to be a beautiful weekend. Sunshine and in the 70's! I hope Eric doesn't show up. It would upset James so much. And to answer your question about his second wife, she's a control freak. Period!! She didn't get married until she met my brother, and now she has him all to himself. It's so unfortunate what she has done to our family, but it's even more unfortunate that my brother doesn't have the balls to stand up to her.
