Ok, much to the pleasing of my ULTRA-CONSERVATIVE father, (this might kill him) I decided to join the other two pastors of my church and gauge my ears. Nothing intense like a 1/4 inch or anything. I am going to a max of a 6. I wouldn't want to go any larger than can heal if I'm 70 and decide I don't want to wear anything anymore. :)  They look good on others, but I don't think me.  I have had my ears pierced for 20 years. Today I put in a size larger than normal earrings. I have size 18 bent barbells (sort of) in now. I really like them (I wish they had my favorite color -orange- but place will work... Not sure how long I will have to wait to go to a 16 but I love it. 

My wife is also NOT happy with it but that's ok. I do what I do for ME, she can do whatever she wants to her body. I can say that safely because she is also very conservative. :)

What do you think??

good for u Daven!

Oracle:
What the hell are you thinking! There, that's been said!  Actually I think it's pretty cool as long as they don't get stretched so big you can pass a beer can thru them - and that's coming from someone who is just acout as conservative as you can get!  I work in a very conservative office and my shaved head raised a few eyebrows.  Really, shouldn't a mortgage lender at least wear a fringe if not a bad comb-over? 

Daven, I admire your enthusiasm and zest for life!  When life dealt you lemons, you made lemonade!

If it makes you happy, go for it.  O0

P.S. I had a bent bar-bell in my left ear for a time. I had trouble with it properly healing so I finally let it close up, but I really like the look!
