Are You Into Tattoos?
Tattoos hurt and they're permanent, and these are two very good reasons that I don't have any - but that's not to say that I don't appreciate them! I totally respect the fact that they often represent an idea, a person, a memory, a place, a special date, or are just an artistic design a person has a connection with or loves.
The fact still remains that I am a huge wimp when it comes to pain and needles -- I can't even deal with one shot of Novocaine -- so I'm sure I would go absolutely ballistic if I got a tattoo.

Would You "Needle Felt" Your Pet?
Okay, so maybe not everyone on this planet wants to commission an enormous mural of their pet, but would you pay for a mini "needle felt" of your dog or cat? An Etsy user named KaysK9s will create the Needle Felted Likeness of your dog or cat for $120. She claims she can make any breed (mixed or purebred) as long as you supply ample pictures, and after seeing her samples, I'll bet she can.
What's the Deal With: Pins and Needles
Occasionally I'll wake up from a deep sleep and realize my arm has also fallen asleep. When it "wakes up," I do everything I can to keep still and control the almost unbearable sensation of "pins and needles."

Kidoodle: Easy Thanksgiving Centerpiece and a Little Stroll
This post comes from member Lauren in the Crafts and Fun Things to Do With Kids group.

5 Gays Talk Project Runway Fall, at Least One Blames Women
From moving to the West Coast, to the influx of celebrity judges, to casting drama over talent, five gay men have offered their theories on why viewership of Project Runway fell 25 percent between the premiere of season six and its ninth episode. One faults having three female finalists (though that happened on Bravo's final season too) saying:
"I am all for diversity and playing to your audience’s demographic, but please. And not to sound completely misogynistic, but three women as finalists?

Dental Anxiety: You're Not Alone
Who likes going to the dentist? I don't like going whatsoever, and I even asked my dentist if she likes to go and she admitted that it's not always fun, but it is necessary. So we force ourselves to go, but many of us may not like it one bit.
Roundup: Silver Ornaments
I love to add a few new ornaments to my holiday tree each year, and this season I'm really loving the metallic sheen of silver baubles. One of my favorites is this set of silver swirl ornaments. They have a great, antiqued look, and would look gorgeous against the dark green needles of your evergreen.
Thinking of Getting Inked?
I have never gotten a tattoo unless you count the temporary henna kind, but it looks like I might be in the minority. About 25 percent of 18- to 30-year-olds have been inked, and 65 percent of them are women. If you've always wanted to get your fave butterfly etched onto your ankle, here are some things WebMD wants you to know before anyone puts a needle to your skin.
